My card for you today is for this week's Inspiration and Ways to Use It challenges on Splitcoaststampers, and I used the cute sketch from the new challenge blog Fab Friday. So many challenges answered by one card! I just got the adorable new Perfectly Preserved stamp set and since the Ways to Use It challenge was "apples" how could I resist?
Stamps: Perfectly Preserved, Bring on the Cake
Paper: Wild Wasabi, Raspberry Ripple, Whisper White, Wild Wasabi
DSP
Ink: Raspberry Ripple, Wild Wasabi, Versamark
Accessories: Wild Wasabi embossing powder, Finishing Touches Edgelits,
In color dahlias, glue dot
Techniques: Heat Embossing
The base is Wild Wasabi. The main image panel and greeting are on Whisper White cardstock. I used Raspberry Ripple ink to stamp the apple images. (I love the new SU inks, they give such fabulous results!) I backed the image panel with Raspberry Ripple cardstock, cut with the one of the Finishing Touches Edgelits. I added a bit of Wild Wasabi patterned paper from the Subtles Designer Series Paper Stack. I used Versamark and Wild Wasabi embossing powder on the greeting, which is from the Bring on the Cake stamp set and finished it off with an In Color Dahlia (Raspberry Ripple) fastened by a glue dot.
I did a quick but cute dress up on the inside of the card using the same apple images and another greeting from the Bring on the Cake set. So cute and yet so easy!

Today's card is for the Free for All Friday on Splitcoaststampers. They challenged us to use bold happy colors and my favorite right now is Calypso Coral. I love oranges!!
Stamps: Field
Flowers
Paper: Chocolate
Chip, Calypso Coral, Naturals White
Ink: Chocolate
Chip, Pumpkin Pie, Calypso Coral, Old Olive, Bashful Blue
Accessories:
Vintage Wallpaper Embossing folder, Finishing Touches Edgelits,
Victoria
Crocheted Lace, Sponge, Post-it note, Stamp-a-majig
Techniques:
Sponging, 2-step stamping
The main panel is Naturals White card stock. To make the main image panel on this card, I first stamped the leaves in Old Olive. Then I stamped the solid flower image in Pumpkin Pie and used a stamp-a-majig for placement to stamp the line flower image in Calypso Coral. The "with love" is stamped in Chocolate Chip. All stamps used on this card are from the Field Flowers set. After the panel was stamped, I covered about 1/4" of all four edges with post-it notes and sponged the image with Bashful Blue ink to create the blue rectangle around the flower.
The base is Chocolate Chip cardstock and the card front panel is Calypso Coral embossed with the Vintage Wallpaper folder and sponged with Chocolate Chip ink. I cut a strip of Naturals White cardstock with one of the Finishing Touches Edgelits and layered it with a strip of Chocolate Chip card stock and a piece of Victoria Crocheted Lace ribbon. I matted the flower image panel with Chocolate Chip card stock and attached it to the card with Dimensionals.

Today's card uses one of my favorite colors, Daffodil Delight, and the Ronald McDonald House Charities stamp set, Moving Forward.
The base is Daffodil Delight. The image is stamped in black Stazon on Whisper White cardstock. I used a Finishing Touches edgelit to cut a Basic Black border that I used along the bottom, and added a piece of Daffodil Delight stitched grosgrain ribbon. The flowers are punched out using the Itty Bitty Punch pack, and the circle inside them is from the Cupcake Builder punch. I distressed a piece of Daffodil Delight cardstock and used the little pieces that fell off of it to create a tiny "fuzz" of flowers for the basket. I put a little Multipurpose Liquid glue where I wanted the fuzz and then set it onto of the glue.
Simple, easy, quick and fun! Yay!

Hey, I'm back! Three posts already this week, maybe I will finally be shaking the mothballs off my poor blog! Here is a fun Get Well card for you today! I made it for this week's Sketch Challenge on Splitcoaststampers.
The base is Crumb Cake. I added another Crumb Cake layer on top of that, this one embossed with the Stripes embossing folder. I used the Delicate Doilies Sizzlet die and cut out the largest doily from Baja Breeze cardstock. I used one of the Finishing Touches Edgelits to cut the edges of a strip of Soft Suede cardstock and a piece of designer paper from the Floral District pack, then layered them and adhered them over the bottom half of the doily. Next a piece of Soft suede taffeta ribbon was tied around the card. I cut out a 2" Very Vanilla circle using the Circles #2 Bigz die and stamped the image in Black Stazon onto the circle. Both the teapot and image and the "perk up" greeting are from the Morning Cup set. I colored the teapot using a blender pen and Baja Breeze, Marina Mist, Crumb Cake, Soft Suede and Early Espresso inks. Then I sponged all around the edge of the circle with Soft Suede ink. I stamped the "get well soon" greeting in Basic Black ink on Very Vanilla cardstock, and punched it out twice using the Decorative Label punch to get this label shape. For a tutorial on how to create this label shape, please see this post on my blog. http://mnfroggie.blogspot.com/2011/05/polka-dots-toile-and-tutorial-for.html This label was then sponged with Soft Suede ink and attached using Dimensionals to a 3/4" Soft Suede Circle. Super Duper pretty, I hope you think so too!
