Sequins, Sequins & More Sequins

Oh happy day ~ I was on call today and did not have to work!

Of course, instead of cleaning (like I should have done) I made 

three cards.  This month the blog hop at PTI is all about sequins.

For the Wish Big card I used the colors at ColourQ and used no 

stamps for the challenge at CAS-ual Fridays.  I found neon

sequins at a local craft store that matched a few of my neon 

inks quite nicely.  I used them to make a background for two
bright thank you cards.

 

Supplies ~ Thank You cards

Stamps:  PTI Watercolor Wonder

Paper:  PTI White & Raspberry Fizz

Ink:  Hero Arts Neon Pink, Neon Yellow, Neon Orange, Neon Green

Die:  Provo Craft Olivia

No Stamps ;)

I Only Have Eyes ... For You

A very quick post, since I should be in bed ~ being 

scheduled for a 12 hour shift tomorrow.  I made another

card for the "song" challenge at CASology using the

colors at Play Date Cafe.  I felt a little guilty about my last 

entry at CASology since I made my card and then found a

song to fit.  So, I came up with a song first, and then made 

a card.  The song is older ~ "I Only Have Eyes for You."

I also wanted to thank the ladies at Play Date

for selecting my last entry there for the

"Cream in Our Coffee."

Thanks so much for stopping by!

Happy Easter X 18

I made these cards for the babies in the NICU I work at to give to 

their parents on Easter.  As soon as I saw Melissa's new series 

"Polka Dot Parade," I knew I wanted to use them for this year's cards.

I bought two of the dies, to make my work easier.  During  

the February countdown at PTI there were many cards using

the bunnies with negative die cuts and tags, and I have seen others 

since then.  I liked the idea of tags and negative die cuts. 

 I  worked assembly line fashion using three colors ~ 

Blueberry Sky, Summer Sunrise and Aqua Mist.

This is also why this is my first post for the week on Friday ;).

 I am entering them into five challenges ~ 

A Passion for Papertrey ~ to use a negative die cut

CASology ~ Song 

(There are many songs that work for these cards ~ including:

Little Bunny Foo Foo, Easter Parade, Here Comes Peter Cottontail,

Funny Bunny and Bunny Hop ~ to name a few.)

Moxie Fab World ~ Emphasize the Negative

Simon Says Stamp ~ Easter / Spring

52 Card Pickup ~ always anything goes

   

I made these for last Easter. 

Supplies ~ 

Stamps:  PTI Take Three: Spring

Paper:  PTI White, Blueberry Sky, Aqua Mist & Summer Sunrise; Pattern Packs in the same colors

Ink:  PTI Blueberry Sky & Aqua Mist,  SU So Saffron

Dies:  PTI Tag Sale # 6 & Tag Sale # 7,  Polka Dot Parade # 1

Additional Supplies:  PTI Buttons; SU Bashful Blue & So Saffron Ribbons; Sequins, Pom Poms & Aqua ribbon - LCS

An Extraterrestrial Birthday

A birthday card for a nine year old who loves Star Wars.

The cue word this week at CASology is "extraterrestrial."

A great coincidence ;) ~ for a card I needed to make

anyway.  I also used various shades of gray for the

 challenge at A Passion for Papertrey.
