Sweet & Simple Get Well Card – Sunday Stamps Challenge

Rosanne July 20, 2023 July 20, 2023Cards, Challenges, Get Well

My inspiration for today’s simply sweet get well card was the color challenge at the Sunday Stamps Weekly challenge. These colors really spoke to me and by happy coincidence, I had pulled the two patterned papers from my stash a while ago but didn’t know what I was going to do with them. Problem solved…

I also had to reach into my stash for a couple of pieces of card stock to match the patterns. The blue probably came from a craft store as it was a 12″ x 12″ piece and the yellow is a textured piece from a DCWV paper pad. This is where having a paper addiction actually comes in handy!

I cut the circles from SU’s Layering Circle dies. The sentiments are both from retired SU sets. The card front sentiment is from Butterfly Gala and is heat embossed in white, And the inside sentiment is from Flourishing Phrases. I usually hang on to sets that have sentiments I know I’ll use over and over and these are two of those.

I recently learned that a friend is in the hospital again and thought this would brighten her day a bit. Although this layout would be great for just about any occasion. I have a few more ideas for it.

Thanks for stopping by today. I hope you have a good one!

Take care,

Rosanne

CASEing Coast to Coast: Use Your “Scraps”

Welcome to the July edition of CASEing Coast to Coast with Karen Hallam on the West Coast (CA) and myself here on the East Coast (PA). Our cross-country stamping adventure is taking a little different course this month. We decided that it was time to use up some of our scraps to come up with a card. What card maker doesn’t have a lot of scraps. For myself, I find it hard to throw even the smallest piece of patterned paper away because who knows when you’ll need just that one small pattern…right?! So needless to say, this was a fun challenge because I had a LOT to work with!!

Remember this Designer Series Paper? Hello Irresistible was and still is one of my all-time favorite collections. When it was first released, I created a lot of projects with it and then, well those half used pieces of DSP went untouched…until now. I created this patchwork friendship card using just used patterns and did not cut into any uncut pieces. I found this to be very satisfying!

Here’s a look at the inside, which is also embellished with scraps. The flowers and leaves on the card front and inside were cut using the coordinating dies. I cut a bunch of these when I first received the paper and these were “leftovers” so that makes them scraps also, I guess.

Once I created this card, I couldn’t stop. So I created two more cards using different DSP that I’ll post on Friday along with all the cutting dimensions…so be sure to stop by. For now, be sure to head over to Karen’s blog to see her special “scrappy” card. I’m sure you’ll love it!

Take care,

Rosanne

Basketful of Daisies – #TTTC217

Happy Thursday! Happy Tic Tac Toe Challenge day! It’s my turn to create a fun and hopefully, challenging board to get your creatives juices flowing. I think there’s some fun elements to work with…

So I had a bunch of stamps and dies on my desk while trying to decide which direction I would go here. And here’s where it took me…

I chose the third row across: Gingham, Floral, Insect

Most of the products used here are from my stash or retired Stampin’ Up. The basket is a large red rubber on a wooden block that I’ve had since I first started stamping 23 years ago. It was probably purchased at a Rubber Stamp store (remember those?) and probably while I was on vacation somewhere. I used to scout those stores out wherever we went! It’s cut with the Scan n Cut around the outside and hand cut on the inside of the handle. I popped it up with dimensionals on the card front after coloring it with Stampin’ Blends.

To create the texture on the daisies, I embossed a piece of white card with the Subtles Embossing Folder (retired SU) and then punched the flowers using the Medium Daisy punch (also retired SU).

Lastly, how cute are those little bees buzzing on and around the flowers? I bought these on amazon along with ladybugs.

Thanks for coming by today. I hope you’ll head on over to the Tic Tac Toe Challenge to see the terrific cards my fellow teammates created for this week’s challenge.

Take care,

Rosanne

Let’s Go Fishing Retirement Card – #TTTC216

I’m a couple of days late posting my card for the this week’s Tic Tac Toe Challenge…but better late than never! Here’s the fun board that Elizabeth created. I was trying to do something with the picnic square but it just wasn’t coming together for me. I’m anxious to see the cards that feature it, though.

I chose the first column down: Green and Blue, Layers, Die Cut

Let’s Go Fishing Designer Series paper really surprised me. At first look, I wasn’t that interesting as fishing isn’t something I get excited about. However, the patterns on this paper are very versatile and I really like the color combinations.

Let’s Go Fishing Designer Series Paper #161534

My card only uses the DSP from this bundle. I’ve recently been purchasing DSP if I don’t think I’ll use the stamp and dies that much. It’s actually a fun challenge to try to create a card without the stamps and dies. Here I cut the fish from the paper and used a couple of retired sentiments on the card front and inside.

We’d love you to join us at the Tic Tac Toe Challenge this week. Thanks for coming by and I hope you’re looking forward to a nice weekend.

Take care,

Rosanne
