The Play Date Cafe Challenge # 186 - Happy 40th!

Hello and welcome to The Play Date Cafe! We have a beautiful color story for you today, and to make it even better, a color splash!

We also have a great sponsor this week: Simon Says Stamp!

Here is what I created using this weeks color splash!

A fun 40th Birthday card! Now, I actually don't know anyone getting ready to have a 40th B-day, but it sure doesn't hurt to have a card on hand just in case!

I used the new triangle set from Papertrey Ink, and Wonderful Words: Birthday. I hope you like my super simple card!

I hope you will play along with us this week at The Play Date Cafe!

                                                        

A New Challenge and New Stamps!

Hello! I have wanted to play along with the Pinspired Challenge for quite awhile, and well you know how that goes, time just gets away from ya! So today I made sure to give myself time to play along with the challenge! Check out the beautiful inspiration:

I also inked up my new stamps from WPlus9, Fresh Cut Florals, and the matching dies. I just love this set! It is very easy to line up.

I am happy you stopped by and I hope you have a wonderful day!

The Play Date Cafe Challenge #185 - Happy Days

Hello and welcome to The Play Date Cafe! We have a beautiful color story for you this week:

Magenta...Teal..Light Gray

We also have a wonderful sponsor that generously supplied the PDCC design team with product for this weeks challenge:

Here is what I created using this weeks color story!

I used the Great Impressions stamps "Hot Air Balloon"

and "Tons".

I only inked up "wishing you" and "happy days", so this sentiment can be used for just about any occasion!

I hope you will play along with us this week at The Play Date Cafe, and as always thank you for stopping by!

                                                                        

Just For You!

Hello! Today I am excited to be playing along with two of my favorite challenges, Moxie Fab World: Tuesday Trigger, and this weeks Papertrey Ink: Make It Monday.

To create my card I used lots of Papertrey Ink goodness! Ruby Rose, Farm and Barn, Boutique Borders: Birthday, and Boutique Borders: Accessories. I also used the matching die for the BB Accessories set, and Ruby Rose. I used Stampin Up Wild Wasabi, Pretty In Pink, and Barely Banana. And A Muse Studio pigment ink colors Pebble, and Shell. My flagged border is from a DCWV Spring paper pad.

  I think I captured the folksy, soft, floral loveliness of the Tuesday Trigger picture. I would love to have a room just like that one!  I loved making this card, and I hope you like it!

Fun Friday With Your Next Stamp - Summer Fun!

            

Well, it is the last Friday of May, and I am happy to be joining a handful of my fellow YNS design team members for Fun Friday with YNS!

Our theme for May was Summer Fun, and I was excited to ink up my favorite flamingo from the YNS stamp set "Flamingo Fred".

  I had so much fun making my card! I used the YNS "Puffy Cloud die set" and a flower that I turned into the sun from the "Whatnot Seasons Set One die set". My sentiment is from one of our new clear photopolymer stamp sets "Happy Day Sentiments".

I am happy you stopped by and I hope you have a wonderful weekend!
