You're Eggstra Special PP435

March 31, 2019

Today we celebrate our Addison's 10th birthday!  I don't know how she could possibly be 10!!!  A huge day for her because she is now "double digits"!  She had her party yesterday and it was a big hit.  She is so kind, thoughtful, smart, beautiful  and the girl that made me a Grammy!  She owns a piece of my heart!

!

It's time for a new challenge at The Paper Players.  The lovely Laurie is our hostess this week and she has a fun Tic Tac Toe Challenge for us.  I always love these challenges because the possibilities are endless! 





My card is created using the diagonal--Easter, Embossing and Patterned Paper!   


My card is created on a white card base.  I added a top white panel and embossed it with a polka dot embossing folder. 
The basket was created using the Reverse Confetti Basket Confetti Die.  I added polka dot paper for the ruffle using the same die.  The grass is cut out of patterned paper using the Lawn Fawn Meadows Border Die.  I cut two in order to layer them.  The bunny, butterflies  and eggs are from MFT SY Easter Bunnies stamp set.  I stamped them in Moments black ink and colored them with Copic Markers.  I cut them out with the matching dies.  Wink of Stella was added for shine.  The sentiment is stamped in black ink.  I covered the envelope flap in the same polka dot paper.

Best Wishes Sketch Saturday #557

 Good Morning Everyone...
We have a great sponsor this week:

We Are 3 Digital Shop has generously offered a $15 Gift Certificate to their  shop!

Here is Week #557
It's the 5th Saturday ... pick any sketch from 215-556

I chose Sketch # 555 for my card this week.


My card is created on a white card base.  I added a white panel on the top of the card that I embossed.  I cut a white doily circle for the round element.  The cake is stamped in Versa Fine ink and heat embossed with silver embossing powder.  The cake is from Stampin Up! Cake Soiree stamp set.  I used the Sweet Cakes Framelits to cut out the silver foil cake plate.  I added a silver foil and black card stock banners at the top of the card.  I heat embossed the sentiment on black with silver embossing powder.  The sentiment is from the same stamp set.

HO HO HO Keeping Christmas

March 25, 2019

My card is created on a white card base.  I added a piece of black and white stripes from the MFT paper pack.  The first card has the vertical stripes and the second has the horizontal stripes.  I distressed two different pieces of watercolor paper.  One with Twisted Citron and the other with  Festive Berries and then I used the MFT Ho Ho Ho Die to cut out the words.  I used the Avery Elle Wonky Stitches die for the top white panel.  I used the Ho Ho Ho die on top of the white panel and then adhered the letters for the HO HO HO sentiment.  The sentiment is from SugarPea Designs Here Comes Santa Claus stamp set.  I stamped it in Versa Fine ink and heat embossed it with white embossing powder on black card stock.  A few black enamel dots were added to complete my cards. 


The Santa Claus is from the same set and so is the inside sentiment.  I also added the striped papers to the envelope. 

Thanks for stopping by!  Leave a comment and let me know your thoughts.  I love to hear from you!

The hop is hosted by the fabulous Kelly Lunceford's blog, so head over there to start from the beginning.

ENJOY the blog hop!  I hope we inspired you to make a few cards, too!
