Floral Twofer

I finally came up with a Twofer full of flowers.
Once again Altenew helped break my creative block with the help of the Pink Fresh, Honey Bee and EBE.
Stamped/layered the Twofer Altenew image and leaves around a panel to create a frame. Diecut the Altenew big sentiment out of white cardstock and yellow funfoam and offset stacked them with glue. Brushed the same colors on the white sentiment blending them together. Adhered the sentiment to the center panel and spattered it with the colors of the flowers.
For this card, stacked 4 Pink Fresh frames and attached to Honey Bee pp panel. Stamped and diecut the Twofer flowers/leaves and arranged in little clusters. Using one of the negative diecuts from the frame, stamped an EBE birthday sentiment and inlaid it into the appropriate frame. Arranged the clusters around the sentiment. Adhered some jewels and attached the panel to cardbase.

My Heart Sings

Time Out is celebrating the Arts this time and I'm late to the party. Just a minor loss of mojo. In this case, I foiled Altenew's letters to spell "sing"and NBUS a Tonic music bar diecut, layered over foam. On a navy cardbase stamped and embossed the sub-sentiment in silver. Partially die cut the bottom of the music bar from the base to expose the inside of the card. Attached the "sing" and music bar to the cardbase.

Champagne, Anyone

Today's offering uses the popular repeat stamping for AAA Cards. Thanks to the MISTI, I was able to get my Clearly Besotted champagne glasses perfectly placed and bubbly. Stamped the sentiment and added the Altenew gold skinny frames trio. Highlighted the champagne with Nuvo shimmer and mounted on an A2 cardbase. Done.

White & Cream

Do you think it looks too bland?...maybe it's just me. Less Is More wants White and Cream colors this time. This is the best I could do...a true challenge. Used an Altenew set to stamp on textured vellum and heat embossed the image. Diecut both the cardbase and some creamy colored cardstock. Attached the vellum piece to the creamy diecut and inlaid it into the cardbase. Stamped and embossed the Altenew sentiment.
Is this card putting you to sleep? Yawn!!! Let me know what you  think.

Mama's Day Magic

This sentiment is exactly what my Mother's Day is going to be like. Do Unicorn farts smell like bacon or chocolate?
Perfect for the Magical theme at CASology. I do believe the card is self explanatory...no tricky stuff, thanks to Essentials by Ellen's Julie Ebersole.
Don't have to think about anything but craft and what my Mate's going to make me for dinner. How about you?  Happy Mother's Day and know that I'm thinking about you all and sending HUGS.

Hang Tough

Monochromatic is the order for May at The Flower Challenge and I have the perfect MFT stamp/die set, thanks to my fabulous friend, Michele. Stamped it on Altenew watercolor paper and, what else, watercolored it. Then diecut Altenew's skinny diamond frames from Concord & 9th graphite mirror cardstock. Diecut a diamond aperture from a grey panel, mounted the diecut frames around it and then the floral image to it with foam tape. Attached it to a top folding white cardbase. Carefully (and I do mean carefully) stamped a Honey Bee sentiment in the aperture. Sprinked Studio Katia crystals randomly. Also linking this to Virginia Lu's Show and Share.

Winter Berry

This is my effort to increase my Christmas Card stash before the rush in November. CAS Christmas Card challenge is looking for Winter Berries, so I pulled out my my NBUS Greetery set and stamped the layers and an old Papertrey Ink sentiment. Stamped the image layers and sentiment on a white panel and a cardbase. Added some holographic glitter to the branch and berries, then inked an offset circle over the image and sentiment on the panel, as well as the cardbase. Diecut the panel and attached with foam tape to the base allowing the circle and part of the branch to show around it. Linking to the NBUS Challenge as well. Stay healthy and safe, my friends.
