I've got two cards today--the first one is for three different challenges: ColourQ #215, Cas-ual Fridays #119: Embossing and Simon Says Monday Challenge to use ink. This card also proves to me that I need the new dies that PTI announced today called Tipped Tops. I wanted to use a tipped panel on this card, and did not plan on the actual shape that I got. No big deal, but I think a die would make it easier. I used my new CAS-ual Fridays Amber Waves stamps on this card--how fun to use CAS-ual Fridays stamps for their own challenge.
My next card is for this weeks Serendipity Stamps challenge SSCB#23 to use scraps. Well, I have a lot of scraps, so I pulled out some scraps from my little PTI Pink Patterns pad and paper pieced the dresses on the Serendipity Three Dresses stamp. This stamp is one of my favorite stamps to paper piece, and I made a baby card with three pink dresses.

Joyce these are outstanding!! Love the design on your first card and the second is just as sweet as can be! I've adored these little dresses ever since Marybeth used them!
ReplyDeleteBoth generous card Joyce! I love your colourQ and see you don't need that die. Those pretty dresses are my favourite Serendipity stamp. Thank you so much for joining us this week at the colourQ!
ReplyDeleteJOYCE, love the way you used the CAS-ual Fridays stamps on your card! And I agree with Tracey, you don't need the dies at all ... the angle looks great! Plus by doing it yourself, you'll always get a different look for your cards. The multi-colored border looks great underneath your panel. So glad you linked up with the CAS-ual Fridays Challenge!
ReplyDeleteAlso, the patterns on your baby dresses are just perfect ... just the right scale!
Where to start...has to be that baby card...your paper piecing is spot on...such pretty dresses. I loved this one! I have been seeing angled cards all day, every where I look and here you are right up with the latest trend! Love your angled card Joyce, especially those Amber Waves in the background...love it when someone makes their own patterned paper!
ReplyDeletePerfect way to use these colors.....never would have thought of this! Love it! The hint of pattern peeking out is great and the texture is a great touch.
ReplyDeleteYou don't need a die...I love the shape of your card! Gorgeous by the way! Your second card is my favorite stamp to to paper piece as well .......Joyce this card is simply STUNNING! you picked the perfect scraps for the dresses.......loving the frames too. Thanks so much for joining us at the Serendipity Stamps CB
ReplyDeleteThese are all great Joyce. I think you did a great job on your tilted panel. I think the dies are going to be so much easier. I can't wait to get them. :) Very cute dresses on your second card.
ReplyDeleteTwo lovely creations Joyce! Nice job with the off set panel - I was thinking I could just make them as well - but having the PTI dies would be so much easier wouldn't it??!! LOL!!
ReplyDeleteI have that wonderful dress stamp as well - it's so sweet - and makes a lovely baby girl card!
I'm a BIG fan of tilted~LOVE the look of the first card, Joyce! The second card is beautiful and refined~
ReplyDeleteWhat a fabulous background, Joyce ... your tilted panel is pretty awesome without PTI, although I know just what you mean about needing those new dies! The little paper pieced dresses are adorable ... such a cute card for a sweet baby girl! Anita :)
ReplyDelete"kay I like the way your angled card turned out- the background looks wonderful with the wheat sheafs and love the Serendipity stamp you used- I have paper pieced those before myself. Wonderful take on the challenge. Soooo happy you joined us at Serendipity!!
ReplyDeleteJoyce, you do not need those new dies...you nailed it and on your own, love it! What a fabulous card and sweet way to say thank you! Your baby card is about as cute as they come...so stinkin' sweet.
ReplyDeleteBoth cards are lovely Joyce, your first is also a great design with a lot of nice stamping! That angle and the embossing does add a lot of interest. So happy you joined in the fun at the colourQ.
ReplyDeleteOh, these look great, Joyce! I haven't tried this angled technique yet-- but you definitely rocked it!
ReplyDeleteJoyce! Love the Three Dresses card! I have 3 daughters and so this is a big favorite of mine. Great way to use up those scraps!
ReplyDeleteFun idea to use the tipped panel, yours looks great. Love the sweet baby card. Your scraps made the prettiest dress fabrics! Great to have you back again with another beauty! Did your spin instructor LOVE her card?
ReplyDeleteSuch gorgeous cards. Absolutely love the first one...such a beautiful CAS design and I'm totally in love with the stamps you used. Makes me wish we celebrated Thanksgiving too! Thanks for joining us at Colour Q this week Joyce!
ReplyDeletelove love your stamping on the first card and those dresses are so pretty! beautiful cards! thanks for joining us at CAS-ual Fridays!
ReplyDeleteLook at you all CAS on the first (although nothing simple about all that stamping) and then all fussy on that paper pieced card with the dresses. You have a great eye for color - both are so different and both amazing!
ReplyDeletesuper cool ! love the woodgrain!
ReplyDeleteTwo lovely cards! Fab design on the card with the angled cover and the underlying pattern! Sweet clothes on the line! Thanks for joining us at Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge.
ReplyDeleteBoth are fantastic! Love the woodgrain & your wonderful stamped background. And your panel looks great! The baby card is so adorable--love that stamp. Your paper piecing is perfect too!
ReplyDeleteI don't think you need the angles dies, this is perfect! And you should be designing paper for a dp company. The baby card with the sweet dresses, love! Must check out serendipity for that stamp set. Your colors and patterns choices, adorable!
