Just Us Girls Challenge #492~Colour Week...You're A Delight, I Just Adore You

Hello,

Welcome to Just Us Girls Challenge #492, where I'm thrilled to be hostess for this week's Colour Challenge. I'm inviting you to select a favourite colour and feature it in Light, Mid and Dark tones. You may want to use two tones of one colour...totally fine by me...because that's what I did *grin*

We're thrilled to welcome Marlena McDeavitt as our guest designer once again. Please visit her, as well as my teammates - Sue, Angie, Vicki, Ina, Bobby, Nancy, Lisa and Maria - who would love to know you dropped by.

I have a 'thing' for Concord & 9th turnabouts, so this go round (sorry...pun not intended), I played with the Wreath version. The first uses a sentiment from the stamp set; the second, dies from You're My Happy. A bit hard to see the letters in the photo but...they're clear in real life and the paper matches my light blue inks...

Over to you...

Looking forward seeing your Light/Mid/Dark colour creations in the gallery!

Thank you for dropping by!

Happy Little Stampers June 2019~Anything Goes with Dies Challenge...You Are Lovely

Hello,

Welcome to Happy Little Stampers June 2019 Anything Goes with Dies Challenge! 

Soooo...I'm having a bit of...okay, okay, a major...addiction to Concord & 9th turnabout stamps.  This is one of a few cards I made featuring the Lovely Blossoms stamps/dies set. So easy to make pretty backgrounds with these...and to all who drop by my blog: YOU are lovely!

Please visit my teammates; their creations are wonderful and, if you have a moment, leave them some love. I know they'll be thrilled!

Looking forward to seeing your Anything Goes with Dies cards/projects in the gallery!

Uniko Studio Design Team Blog Hop~Re-visiting Explosions, Explosion additions and matching dies

Hello,

Welcome to the Uniko Studio Design Team Blog Hop & Giveaway, which is what we gals do on non-release months!  As always, Bev has set us with the task of using some Uniko oldies AND goodies to showcase; this time - with Father's Day nearing - we're revisiting Explosion! Explosion! Additions & Designer Dies Explosion Collection, which just happen to be one of my all-time Uniko favourite combinations!

  

Masculine or feminine, these pop/comic book art stamps/dies cover anybody and everybody! Timeless and trendy, indeed!

My dad passed away four years ago, so no Father's Day card for him, BUT, I do have my wonderful brother - who is an awe-mazing dad to my niece and nephew - to celebrate!  I wound up making two cards, pairing the various Explosions stamps/dies with the Lawn Fawn reveal wheel dies.  Such fun and easy to put together.

The BAM is one card; the WOW, the other. I took two photos of each, so you can see the four sentiments I used.  Haven't decided which one I'll send to my brother...perhaps one for him and the second for my delightful nephew! 

As usual we have our GIVEAWAY, so be sure to comment along the hop for your chance to win a £25 eGift Certificate code to spend over on the Uniko website. You have until midnight BST Saturday 15th June 2019 to comment along the hop.

Just Us Girls Challenge #491~Trend Week...Mosaic Hearts Hugs

Hello,

Welcome to Just Us Girls Challenge #491~Trend Week, where our lovely Bobby invites us to use Texture Paste.  Given the wide array on the market, I'm sure you'll have plenty of options!

We're thrilled to welcome Marlena McDeavitt as our guest designer once again. Please visit her, as well as my teammates - Sue, Angie, Vicki, Ina, Bobby, Nancy, Lisa and Maria - who would love to know you dropped by.

I created a rainbow (hey...what a surprise! Me and rainbow!) of hearts, using Studio Katia's Mosaic Hearts stencil.  Over top, a healthy helping of Moonstone glimmer gel...sooooo sparkly! The heart/hugs are also from Studio Katia. Should have made a few more while I had the stencil out. Oh well...just means I have to play with this technique/stencil/dies again *grin*

Over to you...

Looking forward seeing your TEXTURE PASTE creations in the gallery!

Tag, You're It! Challenge #89~Umbrella Inspiration...Sending Sunshine

Hello

Welcome to the new challenge at Tag You're It!, where our lovely, talented Donna has selected this fabulous umbrellas photo as our inspiration

Theme Challenge: Umbrellas

I have one umbrella die, but the two of us don't really see eye to eye sooooo...I went in a slightly different direction in creating an umbrella, drawing inspiration from Ardyth, of MASKerade fame. You can see her lovely rainbow umbrella here. Since I have a bundle of rainbow bits from previous cards, I decided to match a few up (size-wise, rather than proper ROYGBIV) and design one of my own...complete with sunshine and clouds! 

That's it from me; please check out the amazing tags designed by my teammates, then bring your Umbrellas inspired tags to the gallery!

Thank you for dropping by!

STAMPlorations June 2019 CAS Card Challenge~Anything Goes (optional twist: MAHOGANY)

Hello,

Welcome to STAMPlorations June 2019 Anything CAS Goes Card Challenge, with the optional twist of Mahogany. 

How fortunate that I actually have mahogany ink in my collection: Aged Mahogany distress ink, to be precise! Yayyy! I paired it with Tattered Rose and Worn Lipstick, to create a clean, simple card using the Old Rose Prints stencil and a sentiment from Frames and Flowers. A bit of glitter added to the roses and...voila! CAS card with the twist!

Old Rose Prints stencil
