Cheerful Flowers

 

Good Morning!

My design team inspiration for you today 

Atlantic  Hearts Sketch Challenge #668

My card uses Gina K Designs Cheerful Flowers kit bundle - layered stencil, embossing folder, die cuts. The sentiment is from her Lovely Flowers set. Inks used are the Lilac trio,  Spruce trio, and Butterscotch.

Just Sayin'

 Needed some design inspiration for a birthday card for a fun friend who is going to be 90 next week. She loves plaid, and I always try to include some in her card. So Freshly Made Sketches challenge was just right. I used a embossed piece for a back panel, and my newest Cath Z sentiment set.  

I also got some design inspiration from Festive Friday #202. I used pink, lilac, and die cuts. The colors gave me a fresh, more spring like color for the plaid.

And many More

 

When I saw this sketch for Try A Sketch On Tuesday, I saw an ampersand!

Lucky for me, I have one in my Spellbinder's die stash. Everything here with the exception of the heart comes from that set, Sentimental Ampersand. It was Jan '23 small die of the month. 

I used my scraps folders for all the little pieces.

And on our sister blog Double Trouble you can see more inspiration with their 3-2-1 challenge. My card does not meet the layers required, but your creation might!!  Play along :-)

*** Edit: Well, I guess the layers on my bits and pieces count after all!

Cherry Chic

 

Inspired by Freshly Made Sketches #721

The side panel is stenciled with Spellbinder's Cherry Chic stencil (Nov '25 stencil of the month), and Gina K Designs inks. Sentiment and oval dies are also Gina K.

The cherry die cut is a Cottage Cutz I've had in my stash for a really long time. I inked it with the same Gina K inks.

This will go to a friend with a note - a happy memory of making cherry pies together.

Chinese New Year

 Inspired by AAA Card Challenge today.  It's "Follow My Lead" and Francesca has the lead. So I used her card as a starting point and created a Happy New Year card using some lantern dies and origami paper from my stash, and a sentiment from a new Spellbinder's set, Good Fortune Horse.

Francesca's card

Blue Flowers

 Used the Tic Tac Toe challenge as inspiration as I created this fun fold.  I used the middle vertical line Blue-Free-Stencil as I selected papers, stencil and inks for this W-fold Pop-out card.  I used papers from my stash - a long retired CTMH pattern, Pale yellow and Twilight card stock.  The stencil, inks, and sentiment are Gina K Designs.

Love you

 

Hope you are warm and safe this chilly Monday morning!

Here's a new sketch from Atlantic Hearts Sketch Challenge to keep you cozy crafting.

I used a lot of different older products for my inspiration card. The Love Trio and Botanical Duo are from Gina K Designs.

Hope you will join the challenge this week!  And thank you for visiting my blog.
