Happy Sunday. I've been in and out of my craftroom for the last couple of days--crafting between cooking soft foods and nursing my daughter who is recovering from getting her wisdom teeth out. I finally have a moment to post what I have been working on.
First up is this delicious looking triple decker ice cream cone, made using the Ombre Stamping Technique from Make it Monday #208. It's been hot here, and this ice cream would really hit the spot.
I am also linking this card up at Addicted to Stamps and More #139 for their CAS challenge and Seize the Birthday without toppings.
I just got this fabulous Bella Blvd owl paper and chose the sketch at Freshly Made Sketches #181 as a great way to highlight the paper. Normally I would hoard paper this cute, but I was smart this time and bought a sheet to use and a sheet to hoard.
I am also entering this card Simon Says Monday A is for...Apple.
I am also entering this card at Simply Create Too #83 to use no digis or stamped images.
Last up is a card I made using a new SU stamp that I just got during their latest sale. I think I inked this one up within 24 hours of receiving it. I was originally trying to follow the sketch at CAS(E) this Sketch, but the card seemed to have its own mind and evolved in a different direction.
The background is Super Gingham by PTI and the flower is Hey There Buds by SU. I stamped the flower in green, on the die cut rectangle, and then again in Pale Tomato on a scrap of white. I fussy cut all the flowers and adhered them with varying levels of foam tape to have some variety in the dimension.
I am linking this card up at Virginia's View #14, AAA Cards #37 Springtime, Simon Says Wednesday Spring Flowers, and The Divas that Cut In the Garden Challenge for April.
That's it for me today. Off to watch some soccer.
Thanks for Visiting
Oooh I can sympathise with your daughter ... it's a while back but still remember having my wisdom teeth out! Urgh! Hope she's better soon. Oh sorry to digress ... your cards are super duper stunning as always too Joyce. Love the first one in particular - hmmm! scrumptious, love the colours and crisp design. In fact I love each of them they are all perfect. I'm thrilled to see you've linked up at ATSM and AAA Cards. Thanks so much for sharing. Sarah x

ReplyDeleteI got a lot of cards done over the weekend, too, but I'm posting one a day. ;) That ice cream is perfect for the ombre' challenge. Of course I love the owls, and red is my favorite colors so that appeals to me, too. You've covered a lot of challenges with your wonderful cards.
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful collection of cards, Joyce! I love the effect of your ombre stamping on the ice cream cones...so fun! Love the owl papers with your die cut sentiment (clever girl to buy 2 sheets) and the fab color combo on your banners! I think your last card is my fave...the gingham papers are so charming with the flower and your CAS design is perfection!
ReplyDeleteI do hope your daughter starts feeling better quickly...it's no fun to have dental surgery...Lucky for her to have a sweet mom to make soft foods for her, though :)
You are amazing...so many fabulous cards while playing nurse maid to your daughter. I am hoping she is feeling much better by now. Your final card is my favorite and now I am wishing I had followed your lead and bought the same stamp set.
ReplyDeleteWonderful cards!! Hope your daughter is doing well! This for joining us at CTD!

ReplyDeleteOh lord I hadn't seen your yummy ice cream card before I made mine! I love your ombre flavors and it's getting to be ice cream weather here too. That owl paper is adorable and I love that big gingham background for your gorgeous flowers!
ReplyDeleteSo many pretty cards! Love your yummy ice cream cone card! Thanks for joining us at Seize the Birthday!
ReplyDeleteYour first card looks yummy enough to eat and it is so clever how you made the scoops look ombre like you did!! Awesome!! Love your Bella Blvd birthday card - what a great way to showcase that paper - love the way the sentiment looks as well!! I am such a terrible paper hoarder - that's why the 12 days of Doodlebug were so good for me - I actually USED stuff!!Thanks for coming over and joining me in that series!!! I think the colors in the Hooray banner card are just such a fun color combo!!! And lastly, my favorite I think, is you beautiful red card that had a mind of its' own!! Love the border around and the flower itself is just BLOOMING gorgeous!!! Super well done - I hope your daughter heals quickly from having her wisdom teeth out!! Good luck to you both!!!
ReplyDeleteBet your daughter would love some of that yummy ice cream! It is such an adorable image for the ombre technique. Love that owl paper and the gingham background! It makes such a charming card with the gorgeous red flowers. I think it's my favorite!

ReplyDeleteLove the ice cream card. I've been seeing lots of piled high ice cream cones lately (in stamping not in real life) which kind of has me hankering' for ice cream. So someone brought ice cream to work--diet ice cream. Ick. Why bother?!!!
