Wanted To Say...

I don't know about you, but I never have enough birthday cards on hands for teenagers...and I feel like one of my boys' friends has a birthday every other week!

I recently added the Wanted To Say dies to my collection and they are perfect for teen-friendly cards. A simple die-cut Celebrate and stamped Happy Birthday from Simply Said are all you need! 

I added a little gift box and some stars for a little extra celebration fun.  This card could easily work for a boy or a girl and the color combo possibilities are endless with the color family Designer Series Paper Packs!

This color combo consists of Summer Splash, Lemon Lime Twist and Night of Navy. I love the bright colors with the bold pop of navy!

With a simple design like this, you can easily replicate several cards in all of your favorite color combinations! 

Happy Stamping!

Hello Fall

The first day of fall is almost here and we are ready for it over at Hand Stamped Sentiments!

I was inspired by the fall leaves and all of the beautiful colors in the inspiration photo. I ended up with the color combo of Old Olive, Calypso Coral, Lost Lagoon and Crumb Cake...I'm loving these colors together!

This pattern of Country Woods DSP and the Timber 3D embossing folder adds some fun texture to go along with the Changing Leaves. Do you spy the little bits of Changing Leaves embossed layer in the background as well?  This card is loaded with texture!

I hope you'll join along in the fun and share what you are inspired to create!

Happy Day Birthday Wishes

Happy Friday! We have a fun new sketch over at TGIF Challenges this week!

I created a hybrid card using traditional products along with the awesome Mix & Match products.  I love the colorful end result! 

I started with the It's Your Birthday and Happy Day sentiments from the Saying Something Ephemera Pack and pulled a matching rainbow of colors to go along with the sketch. The rainbow precut image from Something for Everything Ephemera Pack was the perfect elements to go along with the colorful strips of paper. And the little black and white butterfly...love it with all of these colors!

I added all of these fun colors to a Sunny Springs Cards & Envelopes card base to complete this super quick and easy card!

A Beary Merry Christmas

 I'm back today with another cute Christmas Friends card to share!

This time I'm featuring the pudgy polar bear which I paired up with a super cute pattern of paper from the Snowy Scenes Designer Series Paper.

I am loving the Pumpkin Pie and Petal Pink color combo and love it even more with just a touch of Soft Sea Foam added to the mix.

One of the gift box dies in the Christmas Friends Dies fits the Have a Beary Merry Christmas sentiment perfectly.  I love it when that happens!

Inspiration for today's sketch comes from the latest Global Design Project Sketch Challenge. I'm always down for a great sketch to play along with!

Still a few more critters to play with in the Christmas Friends stamp set.  What will the next one be? Stay tuned!

Happy Stamping!
