The Card Concept 111

Hey Friends, Welcome to The Card Concept Challenge #111. I love shells and all things beachy! I did buy a new-to-me stamp and die set from Avery Elle called The Reef. 

I started with a piece of bristol card stock for distress inking of the background. I use Tumbled Glass, Vintage Photo and Antique linen. After sponging I used clean water and watered down distress inks for flicking. 

I stamped the coral shapes on the background and stamped more shell shapes which were die cut out. 

With a Pretty Pink Posh Scalloped frame die I cut out 5 frames and stacked them with a piece of acetate under the top one. I put the die cut shells and some sequins inside and adhered down.  The sentiment is from the same set. 

My mind is getting ready to think about the beach again. Winter is so long in New England but warm weather will be here eventually! Come play with us and visit the blog too!

Thanks for visiting!

Seize the Birthday Anything Goes

Hi Friends, It's Seize the Birthday time! This week the topping is "Anything Goes"! You can make ANY birthday card and link it up. 

This time I made a simple shaker card. I layered some patterned paper on a black card stock mat and die cut a Spellbinder Star. I added foam tape to the back and piled up some pretty SSS sequins in the center. 

I white heat-embossed a Newton's Nook Happy Birthday sentiment from the cocktails stamp set on black cs. I set the whole panel on a patterned paper background cut to A2 size. 

I have enjoyed my guesting at Seize the Birthday so much!

Thanks for visiting today!

Inspired by all the little things #50

Hi Friends, Welcome to our 50th Challenge at Inspired by all the little things! We are thrilled to be celebrating this milestone with you all and we have each invited a guest to our party! 

I have invited the talented Tracy McDonald. Her blog is I wanna build a memory. I know you all know her for her fabulous coloring skills. She has been a fabulous blog friend to me over the years. Head over to her blog to check out the card she made, won't you?

I chose to be inspired by the cake, the wood floor, the colors and the leaves in the photo.  I used Winnie and Walter "Sugar Rush" set for the cake and the Winnie and Walter "The Party"set for the sentiment. 

Copic markers were used to color the cake and the stand and sentiment were Gold heat embossed. The flowers are from Avery Elle Laurel and the leaves are punched with a MS leaf punch. As you can see, I made a shaker card with gold sequins mix from Lucy's. 

I am posting this from Florida while visiting Mom but I'm coming home Saturday night and will join in the celebration fun then!

Hugs, Kim

Inspired by all the little Things 27

Hey Friends, It's time for a new Inspired by all the little Things! This time we have pretty umbrellas to inspire you. Since my friend's daughter's shower is coming up, I made a baby shower card. 

I used Lawn Fawn's  Hello Baby stamp set for my shaker card and also the Bannerific set. Pretty Pink Posh scalloped frame die and sequins were used as well. 

I think this is a fun challenge so come join us this week!

Inspired by all the little Things #20

Hi Friends, Today I have a card focusing (ha, get it? snort!) on cameras! It's for this week's Inspired by all the little Things Challenge #20.

 I don't have a camera stamp and I didn't go with the color turquoise like the inspiration photo but I had Simple Stories patterned paper with cameras that I used for the background. Then I used some vellum cut with a Wplus9 die to tone down the pattern. My circle shaker looks like a lens, right? I used a SSS stitched circle die, more simple stories paper and beautiful PPP sequins. The sentiment is from SSS reason to smile stamp set.

Tell me, Friends, what kind of occasion does this sentiment work for? I'm kinda stumped?

Come play with us this week, won't you? Thanks for visiting!
