Beautifully Simple Birthday

Welcome to the last TGIF Challenges Technique Challenge of 2022!  It has been a year full of creative inspiration and I can't wait to see what 2023 brings us!

Today's challenge was all about keeping things simple.  Seems easy enough, right?  Not so much for this momma!  Let's just say this is simple in my creative world!

I have a pile of these beautiful Awash in Beauty DSP floral images sitting on my desk, waiting to be used.  I embossed a piece of Basic White with the Gingham embossing folder, popped up the floral image on some Dimensionals and added a Happy Birthday sentiment on a tag with a bow. 

Oh, and I can't forget the Seasonal Sequins.  I've got to use up every last one of these before they retire!

Be sure to check out the rest of the TGIF Design Team creations and join along in the creative fun!

Happy Stamping!

Fine Art Thoughts ~ #TGIFC324

Happy Friday y'all!  We've got an all new sketch challenge for you over at TGIF Challenges to help you kick off your weekend!

I love the Pattern Party Host DSP!  It is full of bright, cheerful and colorful designs on one side and awesome black and white designs on the flip side.  I went with one of the black and white designs with some bright and cheerful Fine Art flowers for today's sketch.

I inked up the flowers in shades of Polished Pink, Fresh Freesia, Mango Melody and Granny Apple Green.  They were all die cut with the Floral Gallery dies, along with a few additional pieces snipped and tucked into places to fill the gaps.  Just like arranging real flowers!

To create the diagonal piece of the sketch, I tore the DSP and layered it on top of a torn piece of Basic Black.  After tucking the flowers in, I decided some Polished Pink Open Weave Ribbon was just what the card needed.  A simple "I'm thinking of you" sentiment was heat embossed on Basic Black and a few Fresh Freesia In-Color Jewels completed the card!

I hope you will join along in the fun this week!  The team over at TGIF always loves to see what you create!

Happy Stamping!

Just Want To Say Happy Birthday ~ Monday Montage

 

 

Hello friends and welcome back to another Monday Montage Blog Hop!  Be sure to make your way through all the stops...you won't want to miss a single project from this amazing group of stampers!

I hope you all had a nice weekend and got to celebrate all of the important moms in your life! I enjoyed a nice brunch with family and friends, followed by some stamping and church.  That's a pretty perfect day for me!

I finally cut in to the beautiful Fine Art Floral DSP!  I've had this package of paper for months and just couldn't bring myself to cut these beautiful sheets of paper...until today!  I love the rich colors and textures in this paper.

I stamped the large flower in Petal Pink, accenting it in Poppy Parade with a Night of Navy center.  The pretty little bundle of blooms were stamped in Bumblebee and tucked behind the large flower.

I cut out "Just Want To Say" from a piece of Basic White, but it kind of blended in.  I glued the letters to a piece of Night of Navy, then fussy cut each word out, creating a Night of Navy shadow.

Happy Birthday was heat embossed on a strip of Night of Navy and a tucked little bit of Well Suited Twine behind the large flower.  A few little Pale Papaya Genial Gems were the final touch!

Now that I've cut into this pack of DSP, I can't wait to make a few more cards with this beautiful paper!

Thanks for stopping by and hopping along with us!  Click on the NEXT button to keep on hopping!

I hope to be back a bit more this week, but I make no promises.  My youngest is going back to school for full days this week for the first time in over a year AND we have 5 baseball games this week.  That makes me tired just typing it!

Happy Stamping!

Art Gallery Birthday Wishes ~ #TGIFC310

It's Friday and that means it's time for an all new TGIF Challenges Color Challenge!

This color challenge is perfect for any of your spring creations.  I recently purchased the Art Gallery bundle and Fine Art Floral DSP, which were just right for this color challenge!  

I love this DSP pattern! The texture in this paper is amazing!

I stamped the largest flower in Pool Party, the smaller bloom in Flirty Flamingo and the bundle of blooms in Blushing Bride, with all of the stems stamped in Old Olive.

The Floral Gallery Dies are currently on backorder, so I did have to fussy cut the flowers.  But if you know me, fussy cutting is my calm...so I was happy to snip away!  The sentiment, from Happiest of Birthdays,  was stamped in Flirty Flamingo and die cut with the Tasteful Labels Dies.  A few Artistry Blooms sequins and this card is complete!

I hope you all have a fantastic Friday and a wonderful Easter weekend!  It has been a bit crazy around here the past two weeks, but I am headed in to Spring Break, which hopefully means lots of stamping time for me!

Happy Stamping!
