I’m so thankful that my favorite season is here!  I love spring SO MUCH! 🌷Today’s card is full of spring beauty and is for the new Double Trouble challenge starting today

The recipe by Thing 1 is (these are just minimums.  You can do more!)

3 pattern and/or special papers- I used 2 pattern papers and 1 green mulberry paper (behind the newsprint paper)

2 colors from the color wheel – green, pink, blue, light apricot)

1 image – bird, flowers

All the stamps and dies on my card are from Honeybee Stamps.  My design was also inspired by their challenge on Facebook “florals and greenery” – which is my favorite kind of cards to make! I chose to do no sentiment.  I like doing that frequently so that I can grab the card for any occasion

I’m loving all the flowers and trees coming to life with spring being here.  And all the birds at the feeders just make me so happy!  I chose a bird for my main focus to go with Thing 3’s option to add a flying element.

Thing 2 gives the option to play along with the sketch at TSOT (which starts tomorrow – this is just a sneak peek) I used this sketch for my layout inspiration

Head on over to Double Trouble for more details and to link your card up

Thanks for stopping by to see my card today!

I’m so excited that we have arrived to Holy Week! To start the week off, Double Trouble has a new challenge for us and it’s everyone’s favorite – Something Anything Everything!

Thing 1 wants to see you create your own 3-2-1 ingredients.  Here’s what I did

3 – Easter Eggs (This also fulfills the option to add an Easter element)

2 – layers or more

1 – sentiment – Happy Easter

These 3 eggs are from Spellbinders, all the layers and dry embossing is from The Greetery, and the sentiment is from a very old Stampin’ Up! set

I realized I have very few Easter card making supplies!  Digging through my stash and using different company’s products made this one an extra challenge – and also very fun! Everything is colored by blending Distress Oxide ink onto each die cut

I love all the texture!  Do you have any favorite Easter products? Especially the reverent kind – focused on Jesus.  Share with me if so! 

This is a larger size card than the usual A2, which I don’t make too often but it fit this larger panel perfectly

Thank you for stopping by today!  I’ll see you soon with another card.  Have a beautiful and wonderful Holy Week full of love and peace.  This is one of my favorite graphics for Easter

So thankful for Jesus Christ🙏

Spring is springing and I’m loving every second!! It’s getting more beautiful by the day with things turning green, leaves growing on trees, and plants coming back to life🌱

My card today is to celebrate this sweet season and play along with the Four Seasons challenge. Their theme is “spring”

I also took inspiration from the Paper Fun Day challenge to use Feathers. These pretty feathers are from the same kit I used a couple cards ago – Spellbinders “Wonderful Things”

I love the colors and the all the layers

Thank you for stopping by to see today’s card! See you again soon😊

I’ve got a cute critter card for the latest Double Trouble challenge! 

Thing 1’s recipe this time around is

3 colors (combining primary + neutrals) I did blue, pink and kraft

2 images – cute little pandas!

1 sentiment – Just a Note

These adorable pandas are from the Mama Elephant set “Little Panda Agenda”. And the frame die cuts are as well. They are from the Union Square Frame Tags. Makes for a nice focal point!

Thing 3 wants to see 4 legged friends. Was a good challenge as I forget to pull out critter stamp sets a lot! These were fun to pull out and use

Head to Double Trouble to see all the details and play along!

Thanks for stopping by to see my card today🥰

I absolutely love the color blue these days.  Especially the soft, smoky hue! Today’s card is monochromatic using that soft blue

I was inspired to do the monochromatic style because of the Simon Says Stamp Instagram challenge

I used an older Spellbinders Card kit of the Month called Wonderful Things as well as the Floral Archway 3D embossing folder, also by Spellbinders

I love the beautiful deep texture of this embossing folder! 

I used the big blue butterfly as my main focal point to go along with the challenge at Just Add Ink – to add something wings

I’m so happy to see butterflies out the past couple of days and it’s really starting to feel like spring is starting! It’s my favorite season and I’m beyond ready

Thank you for stopping by to see my card!

My amazing nephew, who is more like a son, just got married!  They are the sweetest couple and I’m so happy for him! 

I wanted to make a really special card to match the gorgeous wedding colors

They are the sweetest couple and made the most gorgeous bride and groom!

I used stamps and dies by Papertrey Ink and they worked perfect for my idea!

I’m entering this into the Classic Design challenge – butterflies or blooms.  I used blooms!  They are my favorite images to create with🌷

Thank you for stopping by today!

For this new Double Trouble challenge, we want to see your little piggies!

The 3-2-1 recipe from Thing 1 is

3 layers 2 colors (I chose pink, blue, and green)

and 1 image

Thing 3 wants to see a piggy!  So my images are pigs

These cute little oinkies are from Hello Bluebird

I chose the softer hues to make it have the feel of a baby card.  I think this will be a fun one for a baby shower.

My layout was inspired by the sketch over at TSOT. This is a sneak peek as this sketch doesn’t start until tomorrow

With a few tweaks, it worked great for my idea

Head on over to Double Trouble to see all the details about playing along!

Thanks for stopping by today

Happy Monday! Here’s the new challenge for Double Trouble

The new recipe and how I used it is

3 – ROY G BIV colors-  I used pink, blue and yellow

2 pattern papers- my papers for today’s project are from Echo Park

1- embossed element – my main white panel is embossed with a beautiful floral 3D embossing folder by Spellbinders

Thing 3 says to include your favorite snack

Chocolate chips cookies, made with milk chocolate chips, is my ultimate favorite!  It’s not necessarily what I would call a snack per se… it’s more like my favorite treat. But since I don’t have stamps of my favorite snack, which would probably be crackers and cheese- well cookies it is! 🍪

Thing 2 says to play along with the TSOT sketch challenge. It starts tomorrow so this is just a sneak peek! My card layout was inspired by it

I did a no sentiment card with this one.  I’m going to save it for when I make cookies for someone for whatever might be going on.  Could be a thank you or a thinking of you or get well💕

Thank you for stopping by today!

Happy Valentines Day! 💕❤️💕

My last card was clean and simple so today I swung the creativity all the way over to the other side and did mixed media!

I was inspired by the challenge over at Simon Says Stamp that says to do “Spritz and Splatter”. Always a perfect thing to add to a mixed media card and I added lots! 

These beautiful papers and elements by Simple Stories really does all the talking.  It’s from the 6×8 paper pad called “Simple Vintage Junk Drawer”

The sentiment is a Spellbinders die cut. I love this different size.  It’s kind of a wide slimline size

I’ve had my eye on the Mix It Up Challenge Blog because they feature mixed media a lot. And it’s a technique (or techniques!) that I enjoy playing with every now and then. I appreciated their prompt to “add ribbon” on their current challenge because it was just the final touch my card needed. Once I added the ribbon, it felt finished!

Thank you for stopping by to visit today!  I hope your day is full of love! See you next week with more projects💕

Hello!  Happy Monday and Happy February!💕 Time for a new challenge at Double Trouble

Thing 1 gives us this recipe

3 layers 2 images (sentiment doesn’t count) and 1 clean and simple technique

Thing 3 wants to see you use a color for the clean and open space.  I chose kraft for a natural feel.  I was inspired by the colors and swirls at Sunday Stamps challenge

I used some Catherine Pooler products from my stash – Hello Fabulous stamps and dies as well as the Cheers to You sentiments and dies

I added gloss to the roses for some interest.  The layout and design is inspired by the sketch by TSOT that Thing 2 is giving a double dare to try

(This is a sneak peek. This challenge with TSOT starts tomorrow) I love the clean and simple idea it gives!

Thanks for stopping by today!
