Okay, I couldn't resist that title. This card was designed for a couple who bought a mountain home. Sadly, I'm not certain if they ever received it. It might have been lost in the mail. I did, at least, get photos.
The 3D envelope die is a favorite of mine, made by Creekbank Creations. They have some really unique designs and I find their booths at Scrapbooking conventions. The trees are all dies by Poppystamps. I can't remember where the banner die is from. The sun is simply a circle punch, about 1". The mountains were all from a mix of SVGs on my Cameo Silhouette. And the river is hand cut by me. Most all the cardstock is from Stampin' Up!
I am entering this at The Cut It Up Challenges blog for Challenge #350, where the theme is By the Sea, featuring a body of water. I'm also entering at the Alphabet Challenge V is for Volume.

I love a good challenge (or 3, or 5) and the one at As You See It Challenge blog was too good to pass up. The theme for Challenge #276 is "Here's to Beverages." Now, there's a topic I virtually never touch. I don't own any coffee, tea, cocktail, beer, or canned beverage stamps or dies. I might have a piece of scrapbook paper but I'd have to search. In times like this I turn to Silhouette Design Store. I found a fantastic paper-pieced image by Doodlebug Design. I created it with a LOT of Stampin' Up! cardstock including Daffodil Delight, Tempting Turquoise, So Saffron, Flirty Flamingo, Pear Pizazz and a few others. Heavy vellum from Amazon made the ice cubes. It took less time to assemble than I guessed and I sized it to fit on the bottom of a vertical slimline panel 3.5" x 8.5".
At the top I really wanted the sentiment of "Being friends with you is easy peasy lemon squeezy." Naturally, I didn't have a stamp on hand for that. I turned to MS Word, but I couldn't find a font that was just what I wanted. Next, I turned to the online site Canva. I discovered a wonderful, swooshy, handwritten font called Brightwall. I typed my phrase on a white background and then saved it as a .png file. As I had chosen a white cardstock to print it on, the white background couldn't stand out. I ran it through my laser printer (bought used on FB Marketplace to use for printing on cardstock) and then cut it into the slimline panel shape.
Next, I took a small blending brush and Tumbled Glass Distress Ink and created a blue glow at the bottom of the piece for the glass to sit on. I used foam adhesive to pop up the lemonade and I was finished. It was relatively easy peasy lemon squeezy! I am also entering this at the Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge Blog where the theme is bright and cheerful.

I just love the My Favorite Things Roses All Over stamp. It's elegant and so very flexible. I decided to enter the MFT Weekly Sketch Challenge #583 (#MFTWSC583) with it. I heat embossed the image with white embossing powder onto watercolor paper and then watercolored four different squares with my Zig Clean Color Real Brush Markers to have them represent the four seasons.

Do you ever just throw everything you have at a card hoping something will work? That's what I did here, and I'm actually pleased with the way it turned out. I was inspired by the Freshly Made Sketches Challenge #524 (FMS524). I started out with one of my favorite digital stamps ever, a Hero Arts digital stamp of a butterfly. It is colored with pale blue, pale green, and brown Copic markers and then highlighted with Glossy Accents. Sadly, the shine from the GA doesn't show up in the photo.
I created a 2" square watercolor background using a Stampin' Up! Crushed Curry ink refill as the paint. I had a nice watercolor texture, but them covered it up with Wild Honey Distress Oxide ink through the Tim Holtz Ringer stencil. I had a precut film strip from my Silhouette and used Stampin' Up! Island Indigo and Broken China Distress Ink to color it. The color was a little bright and competed with the butterfly, so I knocked it down a bit by using a Bo Bunny Terrific Textures stamp in black ink on top of it. I wanted a little more black and chose a circle-pattern stamp from one of my favorite Stampin' Up! sets, Kinda Eclectic to stamp with Memento Tuxedo Black at the top of the square.
Yep, it still needed more. I added two pieces of greenery die cut from the Tim Holtz Sizzix set Garden Greens (just got this the other day and I love it). I used a piece of Kiwi Metallic Cover stock from the Paper Company that I've had in my stash for a long time. I finished off my little square by adhering three clear Fairy Drops by Poppystamps with Nuvo Crystal Drops. I mounted the square on Gina K's 110lb Pure Luxury white cardstock embossed with one of my favorite embossing folders, Tim Holtz Texture Fades Blueprint. Finally, to follow the sketch, I added my sentiment. For You was cut (2 cuts stacked for each word) with Spellbinders Simply Perfect Mix and Match Sentiments.
Frankly, I'm amazed at all the products I used. I've been in a bit of a creative rut lately and entering challenges is a great way to get out of them. Sometimes, throwing everything you have at something is just the ticket.

I was so excited to be chosen as the Featured Artist over on the As You See It Challenge two weeks ago. It's a super fun challenge blog with an extremely talented design team. This week's challenge is a recipe challenge. I have never done one of those before but I really like having to include a variety of different things into my card design. It's like the paper version of the TV show 'Chopped.'
This week the challenge is titled Recipe to Celebrate Neutrality. Your mission is to use a one-word sentiment, an embossing folder, ribbon or twine, a punch or die, and a neutral palette. Since I'm fully into Christmas crafting right now, I had an idea for a forest and it was going to check all the boxes.

As a result, they have graciously asked me to be the guest designer for challenge #26. Pink and purple are the challenge colors, and they are not just for unicorns and Disney princesses anymore. When I think of these two colors, I think of flowers. My husband loves to grow flowers in our backyard and lilies in our koi pond and they are most often pink and purple. I recently purchased a gorgeous 6x6" background stamp from My Favorite Things called Roses All Over Background. It is stunning, and a big departure from the adorable animal stamps I know them for. It is not new in their catalog; I've simply never seen it until recently. I stamped this on watercolor paper with Versamark (I got the best results from putting the paper down onto the stamp and pressing) and then heat embossing in white. I used only 2 of my Zig Clean Color Real Brush markers to put the color down. Then I used a water brush to spread it onto the rose pattern, even blending a little here and there.
To let the beauty of the stamp and the colors shine through (and to not stray from pink and purple), I kept the sentiment short, sweet, and black and white. It needed more than a stamped phrase, but not much more. I don't yet own any script dies (soon, I promise), so I used my Silhouette. I used the Silhouette's offset feature to get the black background. I pop dotted everything off a white background and I was done. The card will fit into a 5.5" square envelope.

I love watercolor a lot, but sometimes it intimidates me. So when I had the idea to simply combine 3 colors (red, orange, purple) in a messy way, I knew it wouldn't be too hard. I used my Zig Clean Color Real Brush Markers in a couple of orange, a couple of red, and a couple of purple shades. Then I used a large Pentel waterbrush, I simply spread the color over some watercolor paper, making sure to avoid mixing blue-purple with orange as I knew that would not blend too well (they are too close to opposites on the color wheel). I kept red in the middle of the other colors. I literally painted with one color a little with the marker, then spread it with the waterbrush. I kept going until I had covered an area about 8" x 3". Then I sent the watercolor paper through my Silhouette and cut the word "wish." Then I cut BIG out and painted it with one shade of purple after it was cut. I overlapped the letters and added pop dots to the w and the s. I added several sequins and called it a day.

I just love the MFT Warm Hugs & Frosty Kisses stamps and dies, and when I found a sketch challenge from MFT and a color challenge on Color Throwdown, I had my plan. Putting the star together was a challenge. I used my Silhouette to cut the star. I used Chipped Sapphire Distress Oxide to ink the sky, with a few well placed water droplets for stars. Next I used the Lawn Fawn Stitched Hillside Borders dies to cut the hills. If I had thought it through, I simply would have used precut stars with the hillside borders, so everything would stack neatly. Instead I just used some scrap cardstock and glued it down, then trimmed the edges to fit the star shape base. That was not easy. I used light blue cardstock sprayed with pearl glimmer mist for the ice. I did precut this in a star shape, so that made fitting the lower half onto the star very easy. The sweet doggy and penguin are colored with alcohol ink markers. The sentiment is printed from my laser printer and backed with a slip of SU's Night of Navy.

I was so excited to get MFT's Warm Hugs & Frosty Kisses in the mail. I have ideas coming out my ears. I wanted to enter the MFT Slimline Challenge to make an autumn-themed slimline. I started by using a blend of 4 Distress Oxide inks on my Gina K cardstock. Then I used my alcohol ink markers to color in these sweet, tiny penguins (all the while dreaming of sweater weather). I die cut them, and cut the hills and trees on my Silhouette Cameo. The hardest part of this card was cutting small enough pieces of my foam adhesive to fit the back of the trees.

Inspired by a Toni Maddox (@frankiehelpscraft) card using this Bubbles of Joy stamp set from Lawn Fawn, I gave my mice a cute house complete with door, chimney and a very nice lawn. I limited myself to 3 colors: pink, gray and mint green in order to stick with a color challenge theme. That color restrictions made for a lot of fun. I am still in love with slimline cards.

Love this floral frame and using just three colors to color it. It came together with vellum, and several other things I dug out of my stash. I used Gina K Connect Glue to glue the gold frame, cut from my Silhouette, to the floral frame, then to the vellum, then to the cardstock. The Connect Glue gives you a little play time and doesn't bond instantly. I love my Art Glitter Glue, but it bonds pretty darn quick. I used Wink of Stella to add a glimmer to the dark green leaves. Keep scrolling for the list of ingredients.

I put together this quick little mini slimline from scraps. Using leftover die cuts, a circle cut from a scrap that uses both Distress Inks and Oxides, Tim Holtz metallic stickers, and strips from a leftover Distress Oxide creation, I assembled them according to the #makethecardchallenge #mtcc26 sketch on top of a piece of Stampin' Up! Sahara Sand cardstock. A great sketch to work with!
