1/31/2020 - CAS(E) this Sketch & TGIF Challenges - Amour
Happy Friday - Today's card is using 2 challenges - TGIF & CAS(E) this Sketch! These 2 are my favorite challenge site and I am very thrilled to be able to combine them together. I decided to use the current SU Mini Catalog paper and the related suite items for this card. For the heart paper doily, I use my exacto knife to cut out the heart and pop it on dimensional and then the sentiment are also added onto the mini dimensional for more layering. I really like how simple this card turned out, I hope you like it too.

1/29/2020 - Tuesday Morning Sketches - We'll Walrus be Friend
Happy Hump Day! Today's card is using Tuesday Morning Sketches. When I saw this sketch, I wanted to have the images behind the 3 circles in the middle and I though We'll Walrus Be Friends will be a good stamp set to use! It took awhile to figure out what size of circle will fit in the strip of DSP and also need to figure out if the images will show up underneath the circle too. The coloring is using the SU Watercolor Pencils with Blender Pen. I decided to leave the sentiment blank outside and whenever I am ready, then I will stamp it inside the card. I hope you like this card I am sharing today.

1/28/2020 - Fab Friday - Happy Birthday
Today's card is using Fab Friday Sketch Challenge. I love all the DT's cards and when I saw the sketch, it reminds me of my card from 1/24/20 so I used the same colors to create another fun rainbow card using the 2018-2020 SU In-colors. The card didn't take that long to create - BUT it was sooo hard to put those little tiny dimensional on the back of the sentiment! Also, I didn't have a long enough strip to create a banner so decided to add a strip of silver glimmer paper for the banner. I hope you like this card I am sharing today!

1/27/2020 - Just Us Girls & CASE-ing Tuesday - Birthday Wishes
Today's card is using two challenges - Just Us Girl Photo Week & CASE-ing Tuesday on FB. This stamp image is from one of my favorite stamp set - Butterfly Wishes but for some reason I don't used it enough so I wanted to use it a little more in 2020. The image is color in with the SU markers and each butterfly's detail are just so unique. I used a lot of different elements and colors for this card and I hope you will enjoy it.

1/26/2020 - TGIF Challenges - Just a little note
Happy Sunday - Today's card is using TGIF Challenges - CASEing from the Mini Catalog or SAB brochure. I used the Mini catalog cover card on the bottom right and re-create it to make it into a semi- Valentine's card. I paired the From My Heart DSP with the Check You Out stamp set for this cute card. I think this card is suitable for anyone since the sentiment said - Just A Little Note.

Today's card is using CAS(E) this sketch! I really like DT - Donna's card so decided to follow her lead on creating this card. This is also for Paper Craft Crew Challenge for Photo Challenge.

Then stamped the Effie Tower Image in black and added a cute Amour sentiment to finish off this quick and easy card!

1/21/2020 - Try Stampin' On Tuesday - Showered with Love
Today's card is using one of my favorite challenge site - Try Stampin' on Tuesday, there is a sketch as well as a word inspiration. When I saw the word - WET, immediately I knew I want to use the Under My Umbrella Stamp Set that I just got last week from the current SU mini Catalog. I did a really quick and easy technique called Paper Piecing - where you stamped an image on the designer series paper so it has pattern on there already. I also used some retired DSP from last year. All the colors are pretty soft and subtle. I hope you like this card I am sharing today!

1/20/20 - Sunday Stamps - Free as a Bird
Happy Martin Luther King's Day, sadly I do have to work today. Today's card is using Sunday Stamps Challenge for this fun bird card. I embossed the Whisper White with the folder (leaves) and color in the bird image using watercolor pencils with Aqua Painter! The rest of the card came easy together. I used the stitched shape dies for the circle but the layering Bermuda Bay is just 2 1/2" Circle punch. Hope you like this quick card I am sharing today!

1/18/2020 - CASE-ing Tuesday - Life's Showers Bring Love's Flowers
Today's card is using CASEing-Tuesday on Facebook - for 2020 Sale-A-Bration on page 15. I always love this site because they actually give you dimension of each pieces. So instead of overlapping for the designer series paper, I just lined them up straight. I used the new stamp set I just got from the current Mini Catalog. For the oval part, I decided to just go with a simple ribbon. Hope you like this card I am sharing today!

1/17/2020 - Global Design & CAS Colours Sketches - Rain Or Shine
Happy Friday! Today's card is using 2 challenges: Global Design Theme Challenge and CAS Colours Sketch. The theme I decided to go with is Celebrate Friendship! This is a perfect sentiment for dear friend that may be far away but on your mind. I pulled out my newly arrived stamp set from the SU Mini Catalog and paired it with the current 2019-2021 in-colors. I also used a very fun and easy technique called Paper Piecing technique, where you stamped the image onto a designer paper and cut it out. I did that with the umbrella and the rain boots. It's hard to see but I also color in the rain boots a little bit for some dimension. I hoe you enjoy this quick and easy card today, thank you for stopping by!

I was away for business in Seattle, finally back home and opened up my new Stampin' Up orders and was so happy to be able to create again. Today's card is using Freshly Made Sketch. Love the simple sketch so I was able to have some focal point to make this card really pop. I used the Parisian Beauty Bundle along with the coordinating paper. I used the negative image of the Paris Tower and added Amour in the middle. I think this card turns out very elegant, what do you think? Thank You for stopping today!

Today's card is using TGIF Challenge. I decided to show-case the 2019-2021 in-colors DSP since I have a stash of them and need to be used. I also wanted the stamp image to showcase the in-colors too so I colored in the Thank You with the markers (although it's a little bit hard to read/see). I already have a recipient for this card so I hope she like it.

1/6/2020 - CAS(E) this Sketch - Happy Day
Another Monday - I made a very quick and easy card today using the CAS(E) this Sketch challenge. The simple layout always give me a little hard to create something because you can keep it simple or you can go all out and make it extra special. I decided to keep it quick and simple but just cutting out the Hummingbird from the DSP and also use the DSP to be one of the layer. I also embossed the Terracotta Tile with an embossing folder. Then I added a quick sentiment and with some trim and voila, here is a birthday card ready at your finger tip! I hope you like this card I am sharing today!
