Coffee & Friends ~ Double D

Hello there!  Double D Challenges is starting a new challenge today and the theme is "April Shower".  I don't know about you but when it's stormy, wet and the wind is blowing I like to warm up with a hot cup of coffee.

My inspiration for this card comes from the bottom left corner of the mood board.

The raindrops in the photo are depicted in the soft stone polka dotted paper in the background.

I hope you'll join in on the fun here.

Here's the prize that you could win when you play along:

Products Used:

Papertrey Ink Merry Mug, Shape Shifters Oval, Soft Stone Bitty Big Patterned Paper

 Simon Says Stamp Coffee & Tea 

The Greetery Cozy Cup Coaster

Mellow Yellow ~ TSOC

Good morning y'all!  Vickie is hosting this week's new challenge over at The Sisterhood of Crafters and her theme is called "Mellow Yellow".  With the Farmhouse style being all the rage right now, I made this card for the challenge:

I started by building the Marianne Designs Ladder and House Plants using soft shades of yellow, green and white.  The background is embossed using Stampin' Up Brick EF.  

I also added a Cottage Cutz Orchid, which I colored using copics and gave the flowers sparkly yellow centers.

Does this meet the requirements for "Mellow Yellow"?

You can find all the details and join in on the fun here.

Magical Wishes ~ Double D

Hello friends~  It's time for a new challenge over at Double D Challenges and we've got a fun theme I think you'll love!  We're looking for anything with a rainbow, unicorn or mermaid.  

All the sets I used on today's card are retired but still very much loved.

MFT's End Of The Rainbow is the perfect soft landing for this Magical Dragon.

He's making a magical wish on this cupcake from MFT's All The Cupcakes.

The sentiment is from Paper Smooches Magic Sampler and the star sequins are from my stash.

Join in on the fun here!

Sweet Strawberries ~ DRU Challenge

Good morning friends~ There's a new challenge starting up over at the Dies R Us Challenge blog and if you recall, the theme is "Anything Goes" all year long!  

This makes it so easy for us, as a design team, and for you, as a participant! 

I started by embossing a quilted design on the white card stock base.  I added a strip of gingham from my scrap box and added two die cut ric-rac strips from Spellbinders Ric Rac .

 

The sweet Strawberries from Elizabeth Craft Design made for a cheerful summer greeting.
