Yay for long weekends! I hope everyone’s weekend is off to a fabulous start. I’m taking a little gardening break to share a card I made for two challenges – the Friday Mashup and Freshly Made Sketches.

I received my sneak peek order and new catalogue this week and couldn’t wait to dive in and create something using the new Floral District DSP. It’s all gorgeous, so I had a hard time deciding which pattern to use!

My card: 

Now it’s back to the garden! Thanks for taking a look!

Here’s what I used:

Card stock / DSP: Whisper White, Rich Razzleberry, Summer Smooches DSP and Floral District DSP

Ink: Rich Razzleberry

Stamp set: Tea Shoppe

Tools & Embellisments: Modern Label Punch, Eyelet Border Punch, Rich Razzleberry Grosgrain Ribbon, Basic Pearls, Stampin’ Dimensionals

I am expecting a big box of sneak peek products from the new Stampin’ Up! catalogue today and I am so excited!!! I’ve already had a chance to peruse the whole catalogue – which will be available June 1st! – and I am in love with just about everything in it!!

So while I sit here impatiently waiting for the big brown truck to arrive, I thought I would share my card for Merry Monday with you.

This week’s Merry Monday challenge:

My card: 

I am starting to run out of Christmas themed stamp sets to use for these challenges, a problem I plan to rectify with the new catalogue! But it certainly hasn’t stopped me from participating in this fun challenge, and in fact, has forced me to be a bit more creative!

I am sad to see the Dasher stamp retiring at the end of the month, as it’s one of my favourites, but I know it will be replaced with something as equally amazing. I wonder who the lucky person on my Christmas card list will be getting this card, come December?

Thanks for taking a look!

Here’s what I used:

Card stock: Very Vanilla, Cherry Cobbler, Chocolate Chip

Ink: Chocolate Chip

Stamp Sets: Dasher and Sincere Salutations

Tools & Embellishments: Big Shot, Perfect Polka Dots Embossing Folder, Snow Burst Embossing Folder, Scallop Edge Punch, Cherry Cobbler Bakers Twine, Basic Rhinestones, Stampin’ Dimensionals

Another day, another card to share with you.  This time I combined two different challenges into one card – the colour challenge from the Friday Mashup and the sketch challenge from Mojo Monday.

The Friday Mashup Challenge:

Mojo Monday Challenge: 

My card: 

While Americans will be celebrating Memorial Day this weekend, those of us in Canada are celebrating Victoria Day. That being said, I have a huge respect for all men and women in uniform and have “Mashed” it up in honour of them. I don’t really have any patriotic stamp sets but I did my best. And for once I actually had all of the colours for the colour portion of the challenge!

Thanks for taking a look!

Here’s what I used:

Card Stock / DSP: Whisper White, Night of Navy, Poppy Parade, Daffodil Delight, Attic Boutique DSP

Ink: Daffodil Delight, Poppy Parade

Stamp Sets: Sprinkled Expressions, Outlined Occasions, Pennant Parade

Tools & Embellishments: Whisper White Satin Ribbon, glue dot, circle cutter (non SU)
