The Sky's the Limit Birthday

Hello all! I have a new card today for the Paper a la Mode (PAM) challenge over at the Outlawz. If you are not a member already, you should come join us! It is lots of fun and there are tonnes of great prizes every month. My card today is for my daughter's birthday! She will be turning 11 this week. I made a shaker card earlier in the summer and she loved it soooo much, so I can't to wait to see her face when she opens this.

This pic is in the bright sunlight so you can see the subtle sparkle - as well shaker pieces are at the bottom.

Enjoy your Saturday! I am off to see my sister who is here from San Diego for a short visit!

Hugs,

Sparkly Hello

A quick post today for the CAS-ual Fridays challenge this week, which is a colour challenge. I decided to join in as I have a hard time with color schemes that don't include pink and am trying to push myself to consider other color palettes more regularly. :) I also had to decorate an envelope (which actually corresponds more to the inside of the card), but wanted to try out a new stamp set (for me) from Cas-ual Fridays. It has tonnes of great fun words and hope to create a card with those next. I had already started this card when my package arrived in the mail. Woohoo!

Anyhoo, the glitter paper is DCWV glitter stack. The cardstock is MFT as are the dies. The stamps are CAS-ual Fridays (splotch), SSS (dotted line on envie) and Hero Arts (inside greeting). Ink is Hero Arts and Memento.  To make the card, I die cut the hello and arrow where I wanted it in the background paper and then die cut the images again with the colors I wanted to fill with. That's it ... easy peasy! :)

Edited to add this challenge (ran out of time when I was posting yesterday):

More CAS Triangles!

Hello! I am back with more CAS triangle cards. I was on the Trendy Triangles board on Pinterest by Cath Edvalson and just had to make a couple more thank you cards (as I never seem to have enough of those). Of course the Trendy Triangles Challenge over at Moxie Fab World is still open, so I will be entering the pink one in the challenge. I used generation stamping to create an ombre effect (something I have also been wanting to try). The two blue cards have wink of Stella glitter pen (might be a little addicted to the shine - ha ha) on three random triangles. It is hard to see in the photo, but any that look a little greyish or spotty is the glitter. I really need to find a way to photograph it so it shows - any ideas or tips would be appreciated! :) Both the paper and triangle stamps are MFT. The greetings are either Paper Smooches or SSS. Sequins are dollar store.

Simon Says Stamp - Wednesday Challenge Blog is having a monochromatic challenge, so I am also entering my cards in that challenge as well.

 

Both blue cards have the same inside greeting:
