Mojo Monday 383

I’m playing along with this week’s Mojo Monday challenge.

I got the idea to use the tree stamp from the Penny Black 40-187 Love Birds set after seeing Sarah Bigelow’s card. With the tree stamped, I begin mixing and matching patterned papers from the We R Memory Keepers Love Notes pad. I tend to cut all of the elements in a variety of papers/colors before making my choices. Needless to say, it can take quite a bit of time! I added a sentiment heat embossed with Penny’s Black 30-160 Friendship set and added a bird cut with the 51-094 Tweets die. I’m obsessed with that particular bird, especially as I often want to have an element pointing into the center of the card and that one fits the bill!

I’m playing along with Retrosketches #151 and Paper Smooches Sparks Challenge. I couldn’t resist a vase of bright flowers to chase away a dreary overcast day!

Colour Me #56 Playful

Today, I’m sharing a card made for the Colour Me Challenge with Penny Black supplies.

I went back and forth on the colors, trying to decided which element should be which color, especially the yellow and orange. Although the elements are well-suited for Valentine’s Day, they’d work for any season! In this case I was thinking about spring.

I used Penny Black’s 51-100 Tree of Love as a branch on which to place the bird, cut with the 51-094 Tweets die. The frame was created with the 51-057 Polaroid die onto which I heat embossed a sentiment from 30-269 So Very Much.

It’s o”fish”al!

Today, I’m sharing an ocean-themed card in tropical colors with another punny Reverse Confetti sentiment paired with Confetti Cuts.

To begin, I cut the waves with the Doin’ the Wave Confetti Cuts set in three cardstock colors and layered them together. The heart was cut with Love Note. (I cut a string of hearts with the die then put the cut piece back into the die and cut again, which cleanly cut off one of the hearts.) The fish were cut on my Silhouette. The heart and fish are attached to the waves with dimensional adhesive.

ColourQ #277

I’m playing along with ColourQ #277 with a Reverse Confetti sentiment stamp and RC Confetti Cuts.

I’m a big fan of red and gray together. The addition of the pink and coral was a combination I’ve never considered!

I combined one of the sentiments from the Reverse Confetti Sugary Sweet Sentiments set with a soda bottle shape I cut on my Silhouette and embellished with hearts from the Donut You Know Confetti Cuts set. The large heart on the bottle was cut with Love Note. I cut a few hearts with the die then put the cut piece back into the die and cut again, which cleanly cut off one of the hearts.
