Challenge Day 41 Stationary Set

Today I used Friendships Journey and the Ephemera background stamp to make this set of cards. Added some ribbon and pearls for embellishment. Black is hard to match so sometimes the easiest way to get matching black paper is to make your own like I did with the Ephemera stamp.

Challenge Day 38 Baby Card



I can't believe how much my card collection has grown over the last month or so just by trying to use every set in my collection. I have put some sets in the sell pile - a lot more than I thought I would. And I have used sets I thought I liked but turned out to love the cards made with them. I hope some people will join me in my challenge. Please post a pic or email me if you are joining in on the fun!

Today's card was made with Babies and Brides. I colored the image with Copic markers and added a Scripture for the sentiment.

Challenge Day 36 Betsy's Blossoms Card

Today's challenge card was made using a new set called Betsy's Blossoms. I used the new spritzer bottle from Stampin Up! They are only $1.99 for 2. You fill them with rubbing alcohol and mix in the SU Shimmer paint and a few drops of your reinkers. Now you have infinite possibilities for your homemade glimmer mist. I made my spritzers with Baha Breeze and Rich Razzleberry and spritzed over some flowers that I cut out. I used Betsy's Blossoms with Rich Razzelberry, Pretty in Pink, Baja Breeze and Wild Wasabi. I also used the border punch and embellished it with the tiniest pearls. I used the designer buttons and embellished them with pearls too. Paper is Marina Mist, White, and Wild Wasabi. I tied a bow with the white organza ribbon. If you are interested in purchasing any of the products I listed above just let me know by clicking on the Stampin Up! link.

Challenge Day 35 Blossoms Birthday Card



Today I got to use stamps from 2 different sets. I used the script background and the Blossoms Abound set. The sentiment and outside greeting are the Edwardian script computer font.
