Happy Birthday Sweetie! - Card

One of my nieces is having a birthday soon. She is in the Mandarin Chinese immersion program at her school and loves Mulan. I thought it would be fun to do a Mulan inspired birthday card for her. I was just trying to figure out the design of my card when the new Peachy Keen Stamps sketch challenge came up. It made it a breeze to put together with the sketch as inspiration. 

Below is the sketch (and there is still a ton of time to join in the challenge so you should join in too). You can find the details HERE.

And here is the card that I made. I changed things a tiny bit but stuck pretty close to the sketch.

I got the Mulan inspired cut file from Too Cute By Jessica's Pretty Little Princesses 2. The perfect little face I stamped on is from Peachy Keen Stamps Princess Face Assortment. The oval die and sentiment are both from My Creative Time. The oval comes from the Surprise Pop-Out Card die and the sentiment is from Celebrate Good Times.

Have a wonderful day! Hugs- Glora

Wishing You Brighter Days

This card came together in minutes. I love that about Emma's products. I needed a quick card to put a gift card in for a friend going through some rough times. I kept it plan and SIMPLE. No frills at all but they loved it!

Here is what it looked like when it was opened up. The only thing that ended up different was that I added a little note for them.

Like I said simple and easy but it served its purpose beautifully.

I used Emma's Surprise Pop Out Card along with the Stitched Gift Card Pocket die and last of all the sentiment came from Treasured Moments. 

 

I hope you have a terrific day! Hugs - Glora

Sugar and Spice and Everything Nice

 I have been loving the Peachy Keen Challenges and couldn't wait to join in this one too. I've had my idea for a bit and have been slowly working on it as I've had time the last couple of days and I'm totally in LOVE with the end result. I hope you like it as well as I do.

Here is the photo inspiration/color palate photo:

This reminded me of a bright and beautiful baby quilt. So I went to work making a fun baby card with a quilt background and bright colors and patterns. Here is what I made:

This required lots of stamping and paper piecing but it was well worth the time. The quilt background is an A2 sized background stamp by Peachy Keen Stamps called Stitched Quilt. This cuter than cute little baby and the sentiment are from the Peachy Keen Stamp set called Hey Baby! I also used a couple of My Creative Time Dies for my card. I used the Stitched Oval for the baby to sit on and I used the Oval part of the Surprise Pop-Out Card Die for my sentiment base.

I hope you liked my card. You have until tomorrow night (Thursday the 27th) to enter the color challenge yourself (HERE). Hugs- Glora
