Hey there! Popping in with a super simple card that I made for this month's PTI blog hop. I'm also going to add it to the Simon Says Stamp Wednesday challenge because I do think it is rather bright and cheerful. This month's inspiration photo is just so yummy with all those beautiful popsicles. I don't have anything remotely like that in my PTI collection, but I do have lots of lovely floral sets and so I decided to use my newest one... Corner Adorner February. I pulled colors from the photo to use in creating my little corner piece. I stamped the majority of the images onto white cardstock, but the central flower was stamped and die cut. I wanted to use two shades of green for the leaf and stem portions of the corner piece so I had to do some masking and stamping. It was a little tricky, but I got it done. After getting all the stamping done I adhered the little flower and then added my panel to a cardstock base made from PTI's Weathervane cardstock as I thought it was similar in color to the tray that all the popsicles and fruit were arranged on. 
Hello! The weekend is upon us and I have a bright and sparkly card to share today. It was super hard to take a photo of this card and capture all the sparkle on the birds. I will be posting this to the Where Creativity Meets C9 challenge of sparkle and shine and the Simon Says Stamp Wednesday challenge of bright and cheerful. I have some glitter paper that I got from Stampin Up! and it is super sparkly, but unfortunately it sheds... a lot! I pulled out a piece of the green and die cut the birds using the C9 By Your Side bird die. The neat thing about the By Your Side bird die is that if you die cut it from an A2 size panel it gives you the ability to slip a smaller panel of cardstock behind it or you can trim out the die cut and use it that way. I decided to trim it out. A piece of white cardstock was stamped with the C9 Barnwood Background stamp using Catherine Pooler's Limoncello ink and then trimmed down. I placed the panel in my MISTI, positioned the birds where I wanted them, placed my sentiment where I wanted it and then stamped it with Nocturne VersaFine CLAIR ink. The birds were popped up with foam tape and the panel adhered to a white card base.
Hello!! Hope your week is off to a good start! We are having lovely weather here in the Pacific Northwest which is great because today is officially the start of summer break for my youngest. He is looking forward to going off to camp in two weeks and then other adventures once he gets back! Today I have a card that I made for the MFT sketch challenge, as well as the MFT color challenge. When I saw the MFT sketch I immediately thought of the fun Die-namics fiesta die for the large rectangular image in the sketch. I die cut it three times from bright blue cardstock and adhered them together. The sentiment is from the MFT PI Birthday Pinata set. Did a little masking so that I could stamp the sentiment all on one line on kraft cardstock and then die cut it with a Die-namics Slanted Sentiment Strips die. I used the same die to cut some yellow cardstock, adhered it to the kraft piece and adhered it to my die cut cardstock panel. Fiesta was adhered with foam tape so that I could overlap it on strip. I stamped the little candy images from Birthday Pinata, colored them with a yellow and blue marker and then die cut. Adhered them to the panel and I was done. Another clean and simple design!
