Sketched Poinsettia

Today I'm playing along at Daring Cardmakers Challenge where it's Christmas in July! I love the Sketched Flower Series from Waffle Flower and the new Poinsettia is absolutely GORGEOUS!
I love that the flowers in the series come together quick and easy.. just stamp, ink with the coordinating stencil and cut with the coordinating die cut.
I used the Oversized Postage die to create a focal point for that pretty bloom. I'd been curious about the Lindys Gang Magical Powders for a while and had fun making this watercolor background in green.
A simple sentiment and a few clear enamel dots to look like des drops finish the design.
Score! Another holiday card in the stash! Hugs to you and I hope you find some time to play!

My Creative Scrapbook July Main Kit



Thanks for stopping by! I hope you're having a great day! If you're looking for a great way to treat yourself I hope you consider trying a subscription to one of the My Creative Scrapbook monthly kits. They select the pattern paper and lots of coordinating supplies and deliver it straight to your front door so all you have to focus on is MAKING! Every month they have several kits to choose from.. their Main Kit, LE - Limited Edition, Creative Kit and Album Kit - so you can choose what's right for you!


This time I'm playing with the Album kit. To show you that the kit can be used for more than albums I've created some travel themed greeting cards.
I'm always ready for a change of scenery! I love a road trip and exploring new places! These images have me itching for an adventure.
Whenever I travel I have to have a camera with me - even if it's just my cell phone. I love snapping photos of exotic flowers that I can't find at home as well as any other fascinating things I might stumble upon.
The colors in this collection are bright bold and beautiful and absolutely a feast for the eyes!
The mix of images in this kit translate well for projects related to visits to exotic places as well as a trip to the city. We've got planes, trains and automobiles covered as well as a fun sea cruise!
So grab your cuppa joe, travel map and passport because this kit is awesome!
This kit comes with everything you see. The only items I have added are the card bases and envelopes, solid paper card mats, and adhesives.
I invite you to join one of their monthly kit clubs and experience the possibilities that their coordinated kits offer. With plenty of innovative materials and ideas to jump start your imagination, preserving your memories and making cards will be effortless and enjoyable. You can see all of the different kits available this month here at My Creative Scrapbook.

Welcome Little One

Today I'm playing along at Crazy is our Fame - Stencils Are Our Game. As always you are to include a stencil on your design and this time it's optional shades of blue. I thought I'd make a baby card since I'm a little short on those in my stash!
I always lay out my images on a piece of clear plastic the size of my card base. This helps me figure out what will go where and it makes it easy to slide a background underneath to get a preview of the finished design.
These images are from the Pretty Pink Posh Baby Basics stamp set. The stripes on the onsie are actually stamped on. All the other image colors are Copic Alcohol Markers.
The background is a Eyelet Rectangle that I masked with washi tape. I stenciled the inside of the stitched rectangle with a Fancy Lattice in soft blue. It reminds me of a baby blanket - just perfect for my design.
A few gems add a little sparkle to the design for the new Mom! I hope you find some time to play along!
