Sunday Wrap Up




The weekend is winding down, and it is time for me to post my cards and clean up the big mess I made.  First up is a card for Day #2 of the Papertrey Ink 8th Anniversary Celebration.  The challenge was to create a project inspired by Maile Belles.  This was a very fun challenge.

Maile's Card
This is the card I chose.  I used the same cover plate die, but made a water colored background, rather than patterned paper.



I am also submitting this card to CAS-UAL Fridays cfc136 must love watercolor.



Challenge #3 was 'Bagged and Tagged' and I made a little tag using Tiny Treats Valentines, and tied it on to a Favor It #3 treat box.



Challenge #4 was to build a bouquet using more than one stamp set.  I was inspired to use Mega Gracious Vases by one of the cards Betsy posted this morning.


I used so many different stamp sets for this card.  So nice to see all my stamps and dies playing nicely with each other.

My flowers were from Beautiful Blooms II and Funky Florals.
Leaves were from Embellished Elegance.
Stems were from Beautiful Brushstrokes.
My sentiment was from Mini Blooms.
The vase was from Mega Gracious Vases, and I stamped over it with the Crackle background stamp.
I made a little shelf out of Raspberry Fizz paper and stamped it with Modern Wood Mats in Raspberry Fizz ink.

I am also entering this card at Simon Says Wednesday Bright and Beautiful.




I have one more card to post today.  I created a background by sponging and blending 3 different colors of pink Distress Ink, and then adhered  Love Cover Up from Lil Inkers on top.



I am entering this card into the following challenges:  Addicted to CAS Hugs and Kisses, Addicted to Stamps #130, Curtain Call Kissing Booth, Inkspirational Challenge #75 Rose Colors, Simon Says Monday H is for....Hearts.







Thanks for Visiting

    Wow! You had a productive weekend! Your cards and tag are fantastic! I love the water color behind the cover plate. That owl tag is adorable, and I love all your stamping on your treat box. Those flowers are definitely bright and beautiful in that cool vase, and so are the blended pinks behind the white die cut!

    Oh my goodness...what a fun weekend you had! So crafty and so many beautiful cards. I love your sweet little owl gift bag and tag, just adorable. Your rose cover plate card is stunning and I need a lesson on blending these distress inks. Love them all Joyce, so much beautiful work.

    All stunners, Joyce! The flower bouquet and vase is so perfectly stamped and assembled, think it should win on crafty excellence! And the tagged treat bag is so darn cute, love how you combined the pup and owl.

    You've been busy~ and they're all fabulous creations! The treat bag is super cute and I just love it with the owls and puppy dog. Your "Maile" card is a great interpretation of one of
    hers and the bouquet of flowers is stunning! I never got the vases but the more I see them put to use the more I'm wanting to add them to my collection. The inked background on your last card is awesome too! Ink blending is something I'm going to try more of as I really enjoyed it on my card from the first day. Enjoy this week!

    Nicely done there Joyce! Love your Maile card...that's a great coverplate. How'd I miss that? And the vase card - love it, especially the Crackled touch on the vase. Lots of fun stuff this month - we'll have to compare shopping lists! :)

    Inquiring minds want to know, "how do you adhere the top layer die?" I die cut one but don't know what to use to attach it to the base card.
