Magical Day Bundle-Knight

I ordered the Magical Day Bundle in December and finally used it! I think it makes a fun birthday card!

Supplies:
 Magical Day Bundle

Thick Whisper White, Whisper White, Basic Gray & Night of Navy Cardstock

Basic Gray & Night of Navy Ink
Layering Circle Framelits
Stitched Shapes Framelits
Brick Wall Textured Embossing Folder
Birthday Banners Stamp Set
Dimensionals
Wink of Stella
Cherry Cobbler, Night of Navy, Ivory & Smokey Slate Stampin' Blends

I colored the Knight with Stampin' Blends and added Wink of Stella to the armor to give it some shimmer. I also used Dimensionals to pop it up on the circle. The sentiment is from Birthday Banners.

Watercooler Wednesday Challenge 140 - Libby's All About Birthdays Challenge

Libby is our host this week!

While cleaning up my craft room I found these unused card bases that Stampin Up retired. They fit the challenge theme so I figured I better use them up.

I used the stamp set Birthday Banners. I stamped the candle twice end to end so that I had a tall candle. I pulled my ink color from the colors on the base to stamp both candle and banner. The colors I used are Melon Mambo, Crushed Curry, and Emerald Envy. I cut the banner out with the Bunch of Banners Framelits. I used Dimensionals to pop it up on the base. I used Wink of Stella on the flame. A fast and easy birthday card.

WWC81 - Gail's Color Challenge

Gail gave us a color challenge with some yummy colors!

Here is the card I made with these colors.

The first thing I did was a watercolor wash of Daffodil Delight and Peekaboo Peach, sadly it photographed looking like Very Vanilla.  I used the stamp sets Wild about Flowers and Birthday Banners.

The stems and flowers on the flowers in the back were stamped off once before stamping.  the flower in the foreground was stamped full strength.

Wacky Watercooler June Blog Hop!

I'm hopping with my friends again! It has been too long!

Our blog hop works in a circular pattern, so you may have started here on my blog or have hopped here from Deb's blog. Either way Welcome!

We are sharing our favorites fro the new catalog. It's hard to pick favorites when there is so much I am liking about this catalog.

First up, favorite new In Color: Dapper Denim is my favorite at the moment ;).

I faux watercolored with the stamp set Touches of Texture using Dapper Denim, Old Olive and Daffodil Delight. I also used a greeting from Birthday Banners.

Second was our favorite Stamp Set/Bundle, that was a tough one so I went with two of them.

I used the Foxy Friends and Always an Adventure Bundles. I also used Teeny Tiny Wishes and the Woodgrain Embossing Folder.

Last, Favorite DSP, well I didn't buy any (you'd think with a $500 order that wouldn't have happened). But I have the Neutrals Stack.

I used One Wild Ride, another favorite stamp set. 

So now it's time to hop over to Marie's blog.
