Amazing Poppies for Featured Stamper

Here's another one using last week's Featured Stamper at Splitcoast - and the gorgeous paper called Amazing Poppies from Creative Fabrica.  I chose this paper specifically because I've been wanting to using it - but had no clue  how to before finding a Featured Stamper card to case. 

I've been dying to use this paper from Creative Fabrica and thought this particular paper would be perfect for a Featured Stamper CASE.  As the Featured Stamper card, I added a sentiment cut electronically.

New Sentiments in the We Are 3 Etsy Shop

Oooh!  Isn't this a magical new sentiment?  This new set conjures up rainbows, wildflowers, and sunbeams.  I used Wonders & Rainbows and Mosaic Background to create this card.

New Sentiments in the We Are 3 Etsy Shop

I made this birthday card for the Splitcoast Stampers Featured Stamper - and to showcase a new set of sentiments from We Are 3, as well - Bookmark Thoughts.  I finished it off with with some paper flowers and ribbon.  Definitely a clean and simple card, but those are often necessary in our busy lives.

Another Cutie for the Kerst Christmas Challenge

It's always exciting at the Kerst Christmas Challenge.  Meet Heavenly Christmas Carol from our sponsor, The Paper Shelter.  Isn't she a cutie?

Angels always come to mind when I hear "O, Holy Night."

Heavenly Christmas Carol is colored digitally.  LOVE her!

Here are links to products I used to create this card.

With Fairy Backgrounds as my background and the mix of colors with the angel, there was already a lot going on.  However, I couldn't resist adding some musical notes from a retired paper collection.  I layered the angel - then called it done.

Remember to visit the Kerst Challenge to see fabulous inspiration by the design team.

Introducing Here Come the Penguins from The Paper Shelter

Today I have my first card for this year's Kerst Christmas Challenges.  It's funny how I first looked at the image from our sponsor and though there was no way I could make this "special."  But after some searching, my friend Sandy at Simply Crafty provided some inspiration - now I love my card!  I've gotta say - Sandy has saved my butt more than a few times when I've been stuck for a design.  It's not very noticeable, but as well as the fun penguins, I used the background provided with this set - which added just enough additional color.  The image is "Here Come the Penguins" by our sponsor, The Paper Shelter (comes with the penguins and a beautiful winter background).  The box card design is Penguin Box Card by Simply Crafty.  The sentiment came from my stash.
