The Paper Funday Challenge #73

Hello Friends and Happy Wednesday, it's the 1st Wednesday of the month and that starts a new challenge at The Paper Funday Challenge Blog.  Our challenges are Always Anything Goes with Optional Twists and the twist this month is: Use colors Burgundy, Pink and Sage Green.

Our sponsors are the generous Not 2 Shabby and Scrappy Tails Crafts.  For my DT project, I've used the Sweet Valentine Stamp Set from Not 2 Shabby, and colored using Copic Alcohol Markers.  This set was part of a monthly subscription box and unfortunately, I could not find it on the site.


Not 2 Shabby has so many adorable sets, although this one may no longer be available, I'm confident there's something there equally as adorable.  I've cut the focal panel using a nesting stitched rectangle die, and the patterned papers are some I've had in my stash that I had purchased from Amazon.


The sentiment is included in the set, and I've added some red gems to finish off the design. Valentine's Day is creeping up on us, so it's time to bust out those cards! 

The team and I hope you'll visit us and join in the challenge this month.  We always love seeing everyone's creativity.  Until next time, Happy Crafting!

Have a Blessed Easter

Happy Monday Crafty Friends!  I hope your weekend was lovely and you found some crafty time.  Today is a quick share featuring a bouquet of Easter Lilies.


The image is from the Easter Lilies Stamp Set by Scappy Tails and has been colored using Prismacolor Pencils.  I've kept the design clean and simple as the image is large and I wanted it to take center stage.


I've matted the focal panel with light pink and black card, stamped the sentiment (from the same stamp set) and added pink sequins for shine.  This card was posted to the recipient last week, I do hope it arrives in time for Easter.

That's all I have for today, have a glorious day and until next time, Happy Crafting!

Easter Joy

Hello and Happy Saturday!  I hope your week went smoothly and you find some time for crafting this weekend.  I plan on crafting all day long..the temperature is expected to reach near 90 degrees today, so it's crafting under the air conditioning for me!

I have a quick share today featuring an Easter card created using the Bugaboo Stamps "Bunny Chick Topper" image.  I know I say this every time I use a Bugaboo image - I miss Bugaboo Stamps!


I've colored the image using Prismacolor Pencils, the patterned papers are from the Craft Consortium "Bloom & Wild" 6x6 paper pad.  The sentiment is from the "Easter Lilies" Stamp Set by Scrappy Tails.  


I've die cut the focal image using a fancy stitched square nesting die from My Favorite Things, sentiment cut with a nesting circle die, the yellow strip has been punched for a fancy edge.  The focal and sentiment have been lifted with foam pads.

Lastly, pink sequins from my stash were added for some shine and interest.  That's all I have for today.  Have a fabulous Saturday and until next time, Happy Crafting!

Fairy Botanicals

Hi Friends and Happy Saturday!  I hope your weekend is off to a great start.  I have a quick share for you today.  I've finally gotten around to using the Fairy Botanicals Stamp and Coordinating Die sets from Scrappy Tails. I've been on a "no spend" status and shopping my own stash; it's amazing what you can find if you dig deep enough and this set is a prime example of that.


I've stamped the images using Memento Tuxedo Black ink and colored using Prismacolor Pencils.  I've die cut using the coordinating dies and set the pieces aside to work on the background panel.


I have lightly ink blended a shade of Catherine Pooler blue ink to ground the focal image and stamped the sentiment directly to the panel.  The words are separate in the stamp set, so you can build different sentiments, and I had a twitch in my hand and didn't get the "day" word exactly straight but it's a handcrafted card after all!  I've also popped the mushroom with frog and the flower in front on craft foam.

To finish off the design, I've added a black panel and brown sequins from Studio Katia, leaving the inside blank, so when needed, I can make this a birthday card or whatever type of card is needed at the moment.  

Until next time, Happy Crafting!
