I will be the first to admit that I went a little crazy with this month's PTI blog hop. I love pink, and once I got started I just couldn't stop. Everything looks better in pink....
First up is my favorite of all my cards. I did some color blocking, similar to this card here, but all in pink. I started with Raspberry Fizz in the middle, then Hibiscus Burst on either side, and then SU Pretty in Pink on either end. The sentiment is from Happy Hearts. ETA: CAS-ual Fridays color blocking challenge is still on, so I will enter this card over there.
This card uses the same pink papers, cut with the Rainbow Stripes dies and a sentiment from Stylish Sentiments Birthday. I cased this from one of the DT release projects, but can't find the link at the moment.
My dear friend Kim was nice enough to send me some die cuts of the Love die (that I did not buy), and I just added a sentiment from Wonderful Words Love and a few die cut hearts from Love Lives Here.
I used this week's CAS(E) this Sketch for my next card. The stamps are from Hearts Squared and I added a tiny little die cut grey heart from Love Lives Here.
One of the sentiments in Happy Hearts just screamed 'BABY' to me, so I made two baby girl cards. I think I will use this sentiment either on the inside or outside of every baby card I make. I just love it. The first card uses hearts from Happy Hearts, stamped in Memento Angel Pink. The second card uses Happy Hexagons stamps and dies and the Stars Impression Plate.
It can't be a pink-fest without a flower, right? I used Friends 'Till the End and some grey washi tape on this next card. I borrowed this layout from Deanna.
Finally, I have two cards using some pink washi tape. I am trying to use some of my tapes, rather than just keep buying them. The design is a modification from this post. I added an additional strip of tape on the card base. The sentiments on these cards are from Mini Blooms and Bigger Blooms.
That's it for me for now. I'll be back later with a pink themed card set that I haven't yet had a chance to write up.
Thanks for Visiting---& Think Pink
Oh my goodness, Joyce ... I'm breathless ... and in awe! What an amazing set of cards, all so stunning and perfectly delicious ... wow! I've been scrolling up and down admiring ... and trying to pick a fave ... duh, silly me, as though that were possible! They're all glorious! Anita :)
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness...you are rocking this challenge. I love how you showed how versatile your style is and that you used a variety of supplies! They are all awesome, but I think my favorite is the one layer I Heart You card. Perfection Joyce!

ReplyDeleteYou are on a hot streak Joyce! Thanks so much for reminding me to play today. I love ALL of your cards - the first two - the hearts and stripes are so clean yet loaded with color!! and the die cuts are so crisp. I love the pink pattern hearts and hexagons too!

ReplyDeleteAll I can say is wow (insert me here with my mouth open and drooling)! You went all out girl! I really can't pick a favorite...I love them all!
ReplyDeleteI dont blame you for going crazy …Who dosn’t love pink( besides your daughter:) I could make cards all day with that first die and your pink hearts look amazing! Beautiful work here again Joyce! I saw the one at the end of the hop too…. Love them!
ReplyDeleteAre you trying to set a record? I can't believe how many cards you got done. You'r creative juices must have been really flowing. I love the baby cards. You're right. That is a good sentiment for one. I also love that you used that polka dot pink for the large flower. Ah, what the heck. I love them all!
ReplyDeleteOooooooh what a feast for the eyes!! These are all just beautiful! I couldn't begin to tell you which one I like the most... but I'll try ;) I think perhaps it's your favorite, the first one. That is just so darn cute!!
ReplyDeleteYou know...
ReplyDeleteI could be wrong...
but something tells me you must like pink.
ROFL!!!
What a fabulous collection...
and yeah...
really lovin' that first one with those die cut hearts! :)
Absolutely beautiful!!! Love them all!!
ReplyDeleteThey are all great, but my favorite is the first one!
ReplyDeleteJoyce, this is quite the jaw-dropping post with all this goodness. Glad I don't have to pick a favorite because they are all fabulous. I need to get off this computer and get creating some more. So much inspiration here. Are you trying to break a record for the most blog hop posts? Good Luck, my dear!
ReplyDeleteWow! You are one busy bee as usual. I I could have made more cards for this challenge before I left for st. Martin. Love all your cards. The ones that stand out are the flower card and the bab card with those beautiful hearts.
ReplyDeleteOh, these are all so lovely, Joyce! Fabulous cards for the challenge!
ReplyDeleteOh, my goodness! I'm still reeling at the sheer number of cards let alone the creativity and beauty of each one. The first is my favorite, too....just love the ombre and that sentiment alone makes me want to buy that set.
ReplyDeleteOK, did I count 9 cards? The Oscar goes to….Joyce!
ReplyDeleteThey're all great! A fav? Have to say, the first with the ombre hearts stands above. But really, all lovely!
PS, Have to note the sweet baby cards, adorable!
My goodness that is a lot of cards so a great deal of inspiration.
ReplyDeleteWow would you look at this pretty display of pink!! These are all terrific Joyce, love the pink bloom the best!!
ReplyDeleteWow! You have been busy ;) love your cards. You have such a great style. My fav would be a toss up between the first two :)
ReplyDeleteWow, Joyce you have been busy. All of your cards are amazing and each so different.
ReplyDeleteGreat cards Joyce - really love the heart cover plate and the baby card with the hearts!
ReplyDeleteYou can tell that you love pink and making cards. It was fun to see one person use pink so many different ways. Thank you for reminding me of the sentiments in Happy Hearts, which will probably need to find a home with me. While those sweet baby cards are close to the top of my list, the last two cards are at the top. I looked at the original post and like the additional strip of washi on the base.
ReplyDeleteWell, my dear, you have outdone even yourself this time. I'm really gobsmacked, don't know where to start, don't know what to say, and you know, that really says a lot, doesn't it, when Darnell doesn't know what to say!! Bless you for your creativity, your flawless execution, and your never-ending inspiration!! Hugs, Darnell
ReplyDeleteWhat an awesome collection, Joyce! That heart cover plate is sure getting good use! I really love it for baby cards, like in your pink heart example, since I'd send more of those than love cards. But the Valentine is certainly gorgeous! So glad you linked it up to CAS-ual Fridays Challenge!
ReplyDeleteYou have been busy. These are all fabulous. Yeah for pink.
ReplyDeletelove how you used those dies. great designs and colors! wonderful work! thanks for joining us at CAS-ual Fridays!
ReplyDeleteHoly cow you really went on a bender didn't you! LOL! There's so much gorgeousness here! I really love that rainbow stripes card - that die is on my wish list. The washi tape cards are my faves. Love how perfectly you lined up the grey washi tape (and the flower is so yummy!). And the last 2cards - I love the extra added washi tape. It adds so much to the design. Definitely gonna try that.
ReplyDeleteHoly moly, you were busy making some fabulous cards! There are so many beautiful die-cuts and elements. The first card with the hearts is so pretty with the ombre. Thanks for joining us at CAS-ual Fridays!
