Stampin' Up! Stippled Roses for the Happy Inkin' Thursday Blog Hop

Thank you for stopping here from wherever you came! We have a theme challenge today and here is what I created for our hop...


Let's take a closer look, shall we?

These roses could have come from my outdoor garden, but they came from the Stippled Roses Stamp Set, along with the sentiment. I also have not seen any butterflies outdoors so I need to buy some garden plants that will draw them to my backyard. Any suggestions for Tennessee? I had plenty in Florida!

For the inside...

The sentiment is from the Everyday Details Stamp Set. The list of product used follows the hoppers. If you have any questions, give me a shout out.

Stampin' Up! Monochromatic Mother's Day Card

Good mid-week morning, peeps (or whatever time of day you are looking). This is the card I gave my daughter for Mother's Day. She loves dark blue and although this looks like Night of Navy, it really is the retired Starry Sky cardstock and ink. The stamp sets I used are the current Stippled Roses, the retired Welcoming Window and Oh So Succulent. Let's take a look, shall we?


and the inside...


I used my Stamp N Write Markers to ink up the stamp.

Pammie's Inky Pinkies Challenge 2419

Welcome to another PIP Challenge. Here is what I created for it...


I just love the pre-colored cacti digital from our awesome sponsor ...
                      

Let's take a closer look, shall we?
I downloaded the digi and resized it to 3 3/4" x 5", adhered it to a 4" x 5 1/4" panel of Stampin' Up! Bubble Bath Cardstock. Then I adhered that to a retired Call Me Clover A2 cardbase. The "Happy Anniversary" are stickers and the embellishments are retired.

Thank you for stopping by today. Be sure to head over to the PIP Challenge and share a card you have created. You may even win a prize! You don't have to use Polkadoodles but check them out to see all the amazing images they have to offer! You can certainly find something you'll love!! Oh, and please come back tomorrow for our monthly Amy's Inkin' Krew blog hop. You'll enjoy it especially if you are looking for masculine cards!!!

Stampin' Up! Winter Meadow Christmas Card for the Happy Inkin' Thursday Blog Hop

Thank you for stopping here from wherever you came! We have a sketch challenge today and here is what I created for our hop...

Let's take a closer look, shall we?

My Night of Navy card base is 11" x 4 1/4", scored and folded at 5 1/2". The Basic White panel is embossed with the Snowflake 3D folder. It measures 4" x 5 1/4". Then another panel of Night of Navy 3" x 4 1/4" is adhered.

Next comes the Winter Meadow Designer Series Paper. The main panel is 2 3/4" x 4" and the banner is 1" x 3 3/4". I adhered the banner with Stampin' Dimensionals.

The sentiment is from the Trucking Along Photopolymer Stamp Set. I stamped in on a scrap of white in NON ink and sponged it as well. I had already adhered the Misty Moonlight embellishments from the Tinsel Gems 3 pack. I thought the effect replicated the DSP.

For the inside...

I used the Trucking Along set and colored my truck with Real Red Stampin' Blends and Basic Black Marker. The tree is stamped in Shaded Spruce. I added a touch of Smoky Slate to make it look like the truck I owned before I moved to Tennessee.
