Wacky Watercooler Blog Hop 3rd Anniversary Celebration

It's been awhile since I last hopped with my friends but I didn't want to miss our anniversary! If this isn't your first stop then you probably came here from Kathe's blog, I'm sure you enjoyed your visit with her.

RULES FOR OUR HOP:   Project One:  Featuring an Anniversary Card.   Project Two:  Featuring a stamp set that has survived since being introduced in 2013 (Wetlands, Gorgeous Grunge, Flower Shop).  Project Three:  Featuring your version of a CASE from the original blog hop. 

My first project:

I used three stamp sets for this card: Birthday Blooms, Birthday Banners & matching Framelit and the sentiment is from Number of Years. My colors are Watermelon Wonder, Flirty Flamingo, So Saffron, Old Olive and Pear Pizzazz, Card Stock is Shimmery White & Flirty Flamingo.

Next The stamp set I used from 2013 is Gorgeous Grunge I paired it with Timeless Textures.

The colors used are Basic Gray, Dapper Denim, Island Indigo, Pool Party, Cherry Cobbler and Daffodil Delight. I used the Butterfly Framelits and colored Rhinestones

For my last project I CASEd Kathe's last card from our first hop.

All the framelits she used are retired so I combined Framelits from several sets as well as used the Seaside Textured Embossing Folder.

Stamp Sets are Seaside Shore and Guy Greetings. Colors are Marina Mist, Daffodil Delight and Dapper Denim.

So there you have it, I'd love to hear what you think of my projects but now it's time to hop on to Bev's Blog.  Thanks for stopping by.

WWC72 - Jean's Color Challenge

Jean challenged us to use at least 3 of the new In colors.  I used Dapper Denim, Emerald Envy and Flirty Flamingo.

For my card front I took a piece of Shimmery White CS and ran it through the Big Shot, in the Seaside Textured Embossing Folder.  I used a piece of chip board with a circle cut out of its center instead of one of the Cutting Pads.

Using the stamp set Seaside Shore, I stamped the seaweed in the flat area on my card front in Basic Gray, coloring it Emerald Envy. I did a back ground wash of Dapper Denim and Crumb Cake when dried I stamped the starfish on the "sand" in Flirty Flamingo.

The fish were stamped on scraps of Watercolor Paper colored, cut out and popped up with Dimensionals.

The greeting is from Birthday Banners cut out with Bunch of Banners Framelits.
