Playful Birthday ~ #TGIFC272 Sketch Challenge

Oh goodness...here we are at Friday again!  Summer days always seem to fly by so fast!  I still have a little over 5 weeks left of my break, but I am already not looking forward to going back to work!  I love my job, but I also love having lots of extra creative time, especially when it comes to TGIF Challenges!

We have a great sketch for you to play along with this week!  I can't wait to see all of the creations!

Okay, does anyone else love the Playing With Patterns Designer Series Paper as much as I do?!?  There are some of my favorite colors and the patterns are the best!  I cut out the tag portion of the sketch using the Stitched Nested Labels.  These cute little polka dots reminded me of wrapping paper, so I wrapped them up in the Costal Cabana Playing with Patterns Ribbon Combo Pack. 

I added some detail to the background with the fun new Dainty Diamonds 3D embossing folder.  Happy B-Day was cut out with the awesome new Playful Alphabet dies and the cute sentiment is from the coordinating Pattern Play stamp set.  Of course I had to add a few Playing with Patterns Resin Dots to finish the card off.  I'm gonna need more of those cuties!  

Whether it's your birthday or not, I hope your Friday is filled with all your guilt pleasures!  Enjoy your weekend!

Happy Stamping!

Faith and Confetti

Coming home from vacation is always a big bummer!  The fun is over and there is always so much to catch up on!  Endless amounts of laundry and yard work took up a better part of my weekend, but I did manage to get in a little stamping time.

I received an order just before leaving and I could not wait to get back home and play with the super cute Playing with Patterns Suite.  I absolutely LOVE all of the colors in the Playing with Patterns DSP!  I'm defiantly going to need more!

I decided to pair up Ridiculously Awesome with this fun DSP, inking up my favorite sentiment of the stamp set.  Let your Faith be bigger than your Fear...SO GOOD! I heat embossed the sentiment on Costal Cabana and again on Night of Navy which I fussy cut the word Faith to add just a bit more color.  The hearts were stamped in VersaMark on Purple Posey...I love that little trick!  The cute little Playing with Patterns Resin Dots were a fun addition.

Supplies Used:

Paper ~ Purple Posey, Bermuda Bay, Night of Navy, Playing with Patterns DSP

Ink ~ VersaMark

Stamp Sets ~ Ridiculously Awesome, Pattern Play

Other Supplies ~ Playing with Patterns Resin Dots

Next up is a quick and easy paper scrap card, which is great when you have a pack of DSP that you love and can't decide which pattern to use! I cut a few of my favorites in different widths and lengths, added a quick heat embossed sentiment with a few stamped polka dots and wrapped it all up with a little Night of Navy Playing with Patterns Ribbon.

Supplies Used:

Paper ~ Night of Navy, Coastal Cabana, Playing with Patterns

Ink ~ VersaMark, Coastal Cabana

Stamp Set ~ Pattern Play

Other Supplies ~ Night of Navy Playing with Patterns Ribbon Combo Pack

Given the current state of our country, as well as the rest of the world, we all need to throw our faith around like confetti!

Have a happy Monday!

Happy Stamping!
