Spring Retreat - Builder Birdcage

Aren't these little birds just the cutest? The Builder Birdcage stamp set is super flexible and super cute! This first card I made for someone who let me constantly borrow her Cuttlebug machine since I was traveling. I did bring my own plates and luckily she was very sweet to let me borrow her machine - thanks Nancy!

Her daughter was clearing out her paper stash, so the envelope flap was covered in one of those papers I picked up for cheap and since I was hand delivering it to her, it was safe to cover just the back flap. The color combo I used was Old Olive, Daffodil Delight and Flirty Flamingo and then I embossed the card front after stamping with the Tufted embossing folder.

~Enjoy!


I CASEd myself from the Day by Day challenge with the eggs all lined up. I lined up these cute birdies in Memento Black, Blackberry Bliss and Crumb Cake. The sentiment was stamped on Crumb Cake and cut with the Decorative Label punch.


I CASEd the background from Pinterest for this one and switched up the colors and then waited until I got home to add all the additional layers of the bird cage and the sprigs. Super cute, this one ended up going to my friend Louise for her birthday! I used Blackberry Bliss, Melon Mambo and Powder Pink. The birdcage was an old die I have had for years and the sprigs are from Flourish Thinlits and Bouquet Bunch Thinlits.

Colour Combo Challenge March

My friend Tracy & I love to do color challenges when we get together for our digital retreats. This time she found one from the Colour Combo Blog Hop. This month's colors are Pool Party, Shaded Spruce and Flirty Flamingo. Tracy also found this cute card to CASE.

~Enjoy!

Here is my card using the challenge colors. Using the Bunny Builder Punch, the Leaf Punch and leaves from Bouquet Bunch and Flourish Thinlits. The banner is embossed with the Swirls & Curls embossing folder. The background is stamped with Pool Party and one of the masks from Pattern Party and the whole thing is topped off with some ribbon from Sale-a-bration.


And here is Tracy's card!


After the retreat, these colors were still calling to me to see if I could create something that I liked a little more & felt more of my creation, so I picked up my favorite stamp set, Hello Cupcake and had some fun. I liked that is softened Flirty Flamingo and allowed Pool Party to be the star. I stamped the Buffalo Check stamp for the banner and scruffed some edges with my scissors and applied a generous helping of Crumb Cake to distress it a little more. Swirls & Curls was applied to the background Very Vanilla card base and I added some Cheesecloth for a little interest and the pearls were inked up with a Soft Suede Stampin' Blends Marker. To finish it off is a wrapped banner made from Braided Linen Trim. What a delicious looking cupcake!!


I was also starting to play with my Mother's Day cards for this year & the envelope I stamped above looked a little like grandma's wallpaper. I knew I wanted to use the cute Teapot from Tea Together Stamps & Tea Time Dies and I thought the Pool Party would be sort of a patina look for it. I tried several versions of the teapot, but finally ended up on this version. Once again, I added some Crumb Cake sponging to the background to antique the card a little more and of course a doily! Finishing it off are some flowers from my stash & a Braided Linen Trim bow. All of the Mothers out there loved the card!


Here is the collection for the color challenge.
