Patriotic Thinking of You Card

I'm finally back! I have been having too much fun with my grandson.
First it was time to try selfies with Nana's phone...

then it was time to go to the playground....

Then it was time to feed the fish...

Yes, his mama is hanging onto him so he won't go for a swim with the fish.

Then is was time to find out how many batteries were in the remote...

We had more adventures and I will miss seeing him until the summer, God willing.

So here's the project share for today:

This paper is free (with purchase) through the end of March and it is very fun to play with. It is called Irresistibly Yours and you can stamp on it, spritz color on it, sponge it, and watercolor it. The white areas are embossed and will resist whatever color you put on them.
I used the striped paper and sponged it with Real Red and I used the star paper and sponged it with Night of Navy.

I used Dazzling Diamonds glimmer paper and Silver Foil paper for the stars. The ribbon looks gold in spots because of the flash, but it is actually silver ribbon. The sentiment is from the Occasions 4 You stamp set.

Thanks for not giving up on me while I was away playing with my grandson!
Have a blessed day,
Trude

Sea Street Stampin' Up! Card

It is really overdue for me to post a new card! I have not been inspired to stamp for about a week. I did create at least 15 scrapbook pages. I finally pulled out all my Project Life supplies and some really old photos that I wanted to get into scrapbooks so that I can look at them once in awhile. I didn't do any stamping or embellishing, I hope to do that another time. I found, after I sorted them in the order that I wanted them in the book, it was not easy choosing the photo sleeve pages to put them in. I guess I need to get a few more page configurations.

I finally got a card made today. I really like this cute set from the new Stampin' Up! catalog. It's called Sea Street and reminds me of the graphics you might find on signs and buildings while strolling through a seaside town. I am going to be making a bunch of birthday cards and thank you cards with this set. I used a greeting from the Perfect Pennant set; the Sea Street set doesn't have any sentiments in it.

 

I used the colors that Hand Stamped Sentiments is currently challenging stampers to try. And I used the card technique that Technique Time Tuesday is featuring this month.

Secret Garden Paper Player Sketch Challenge Card

It has been awhile since I have done much with the Stampin' Up! Secret Garden set so I thought that this would be the perfect card on which to use it. It looks like spring to me! I hope you're not getting tired of the spring cards already. I know this isn't the first one that I have created. Yesterday was a little break from all the flowers.

This card is for The Paper Players sketch challenge.

This is the first time I have used this new honeycomb die. I have to use it more often. I have seen so many cute cards created with it. Have you made any cards with this die yet?

I used these supplies:
Daffodil Delight card stock
Crushed Curry card stock
Whisper White card stock
Gumball Green card stock
Secret Garden stamp set

Violet Greeting Card

Here's a card for all you violet lovers. The purple card base is over-stamped with lavender Brilliance ink. I used chalks to daub color on the stamped violets. This is a quick card, another CAS. The coloring doesn't take much time with the chalks.
