Good Friday morning my stamping friends. How was your week? Are you ready for the weekend? Have you made some fun plans?
For today’s card I joined in with 2 challenges. The first one is What Will You Stamp Challenge #203. This was a new one for me. They give you a stamp set and you come up with something. Be sure to stop by to see what everyone has made at What Will You Stamp and to play along. Here is their challenge.
The other challenge I joined in with is Colour and Sketches #305. Stop by to see what everyone has made at Colour and Sketches and to play along with them .. Here is their sketch.
I’ve made a very clean and simple card today for the 2 challenges. I don’t usually do simple, but every once in a while I like to add one in. Take a look.
I started by cutting 2 mats in Balmy Blue cardstock. On the larger mat I adhered a piece of Subtles 6 X 6 Designer Series Paper in Balmy Blue using Snail. I adhered the matted DSP to a Night of Navy card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.
On a panel of Whisper White cardstock I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up Colorful Seasons stamp set in Balmy Blue Ink. I adhered the stamped panel to the smaller Balmy Blue mat using Snail. I then adhered it to the Night of Navy card base, using Stampin’ Dimensionals, over lapping the matted DSP panel.
I cut one of the snowflakes from the Seasonal Layers Thinlits Dies using my Big Shot out of a piece of Sparkle Glimmer Paper. I adhered the snowflake to the over lapped matted panels using Stampin’ Dimensionals and Multipurpose Liquid Glue.
On the inside I stamped the larger snowflake from the Colorful Seasons stamp set in Balmy Blue Ink, stamping off once, across a Whisper White panel. I stamped the sentiment from the same stamp set in Night of Navy Ink over the snowflakes. I adhered the Whisper White panel to the inside of the Night of Navy card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.
To finish my card I decorated a Medium Whisper White Envelope. I stamped the smaller snowflake from the Colorful Seasons stamp set across the bottom front of the envelope. I adhered a piece of the Subtles 6 X 6 DSP to the envelope flap.

The next one I played along with is Global Design Project Color Challenge #173. Be sure to stop by 
Here is what I came up with for the 2 challenges Take a look
I started with a Petal Pink card front and using my Big Shot I embossed it with my Tufted Dynamic Textured Impressions Embossing Folder. I then cut out the largest flourish from the Flourish Thinlits Dies in Soft Sea Foam cardstock 2 times. I adhered the one flourish on top of the second to make it a little thicker. I sponged the die cut with my Soft Sea Foam Ink then adhered it to the card front using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I added some Wink Of Stella to the flowers on the die cut.
On a small strip of Whisper White cardstock I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up Accented Blooms stamp set in So Saffron Ink. I cut the strip into a banner using my Triple Banner Punch and sponged the edges with the So Saffron Ink. I adhered the banner to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals.
I added a few So Saffron Share What You Love Artisan Pearls to the card front and the banner. I adhered the card front to a Petal Pink card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.
Here is the CAS(E) This Sketch Challenge # 303.
Here is what I came up with for the 2 challenges. Take a look.
On a piece of Whisper White cardstock I stamped 2 of the plant images from the Stampin’ Up Seasoned With Kindness Host Exclusive stamp set. I first stamped the outlines in Tranquil Tide Ink. I then stamped the inside of the leaves in Lemon Lime Twist Ink and the inside of the flower in Highland Heather Ink. I stamped the inside of the flower-pot in Pear Pizzazz Ink. I did all the stamping using my Stamparatus. It made lining everything up very easy. Using my Big Shot I cut the artwork out using the circle from the Stitched Shapes Framelits Dies.
I adhered the circle to a small piece of Mint Macaron cardstock using Snail. I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up Easter Beauty stamp set in Tranquil Tide Ink around the bottom of the circle. I stamped another plant image from the Seasoned With Kindness stamp set in Pear Pizzazz Ink along the bottom of the Mint Macaron panel. I adhered the artwork to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I then took a piece of Whisper White Bakers Twine and colored it using my Pear Pizzazz Ink. I tied a small bow and attached it to the flower pot using a Glue Dot.
On the inside I stamped the plant images from the Seasoned With Kindness stamp set along the bottom of a Whisper White panel the same way I stamped them on the card front. I stamped the sentiment from the same stamp set in Tranquil Tide Ink in the center of the panel and adhered it to a Highland Heather mat using Snail. I then adhered it to the Tranquil Tide card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.
I started with a piece of Grapefruit Grove Gingham Gala 6 X 6 Designer Series Paper. Using my Soft Sea Foam Stampin’ Blends Marker I drew lines between the checks to make it look like plaid. I adhered a small piece of the DSP to the left side of a Whisper White card front using Snail. I wrapped a piece of the Grapefruit Grove 1/4″ Organdy Ribbon around the card front on the seem. I adhered the card front to a Call Me Clover mat using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. In the upper right corner of the Whisper White panel, I stamped the flies from the So Hoppy Together stamp set in Tuxedo Black Memento Ink and colored them in using my Smoky Slate Stampin’ Blends Marker.
I adhered the matted artwork to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals and the card front to a Soft Sea Foam card base using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added 1 Grapefruit Grove Share What You Love Artisan Pearl next to the sentiment.
On the inside Whisper White panel I stamped the frog from So Hoppy Together stamp set on the bottom portion of the panel and the flies from the same set by the frog. I colored it in the same as I did for the front of the card. I adhered a small strip of the Gingham Gala 6 X 6 DSP to the bottom of the panel. I stamped the sentiment from the Postcard Pals stamp set in Call Me Clover in the center of the panel. I adhered the Whisper White panel to a Call Me Clover mat using Snail, then adhered it to the Soft Sea Foam card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.
