Stylish Oval Hello Floral

Do you love flowers? I just can't resist them! When I can't have the real thing in the garden I like to make my own!

Craft dies have come so far in the past few years! Florals are dimensional and layered and look almost as good as the real thing! Sometimes I think all that they're missing is the floral scent!

This card starts with the Spellbinders Infinity Punch and Pierce Plate cut from white cardstock and layered over an aqua panel. This die is a three piece A2 cover panel die. I left the center oval empty so that the aqua blue background peeks through. It's really beautiful and looks like lace!

I topped the panel with Stylish Oval Hello You Florals in shades of pink and red. It's easy to assemble and is just gorgeous! I topped the floral with a stacked "Congrats" Mix and Match Sentiment.

If you love flowers too you might want to check out the Beautiful Blossoms Challenge! This is the optional mood board if you want to play along!

You have until June 12 to link your design! I hope you find some time to play today!

Play in the Puddles

Today I'm sharing a fun card made with the Pretty Little Studio Sunkissed Collection. This collection is pure sunshine on paper! It's got bright papers, pretty florals and lots of cute little ducks to make you smile!

I started with a pattern paper background using the 6x6" Accent paper. This paper is AMAZING because it's already got lots of different prints on each sheet so no layers or piecing yourself!

I topped the paper with a journaling card to create a foal point for the cute little ducks playing in the rain. Mixed print clouds adorn the sky while hearts and sequins rain down.

I love the sentiment on this card too. It's perfect for a rainy Spring card, but it would also double as a great "pick me up" because all of us experience our own "rainy day" no matter what time of year.

This card is so fun! It's a great reminder to live in the moment and make the most of every situation!

Best Dog Dad Ever!

Are you a cat person or a dog person? I love them both! But since I have a 100 pound dog - Miss Moriko - she's about all I can handle!

Today I'm playing with Waffle Flower stamps and dies to make a fun card for Mr. J. Since our kids have grown and gone he's now the Best Dog Dad EVER! He always joins me when he can for our daily walk, and makes sure to order extra take out so our girl can join us for our meals!

This card starts with a background of skinny stripes. The die cuts lots of strips at one time so it goes pretty quick and you'll have extras for next time.

I made two "filmstrip" panels using the Windows Trio square die. There are two dies in each set and so far there are three different window trio die sets to choose from.

I cut the dogs using the Best Friends die set. I just cut them from scraps of cardstock in a darker shade than the inlayed squares in the filmstrip boxes.  I added some colorful enamel dots to look like balls. 

I love the fun bright colors and all the different dogs! Maybe you see one that looks like your furry friend! I'm linking up to Critter Crazy Challenge where they're always looking for the next cute critter!
