Birthday Bouquet with Bow Throwdown

Time for some bright and bold colors this week at the Color Throwdown …pink, aqua, pale yellow, and navy!


I made a big birthday bouquet…


Used The Greetery’s “Print Shop: Floral Frame,” “Print Shop: Fresh Florals,” and “All Kinds of Happy” stamps and dies. The navy is denim patterned paper. I’ve had that paper bow in my “leftover pieces” dish for…years 😂ðŸĪĶ‍♀️! Today seemed like a perfectly happy day to use it!

Thanks so much for stopping by!

Valentine Toaster Throwdown

 A cool winter vibe at the Color Throwdown Challenge this week…navy, gray, and white! 

I used The Greetery’s new “Hearts at Home” toaster dies and sentiment set for a fun Valentine card!

Made a background with the “Print Shop: Calico” background and stencil set and framed my scene with the “Frosted Frames” dies…so much fun! 

PS…sorry about sneaking in the little reddish heart! ðŸĪ·‍♀️😂

Snow Family Throwdown

This week at the Color Throwdown Challenge the colors are icy, wonderland perfection…ice blue, pink, and gold…

I had to use the whole Snow family from Sizzix/Tim Holtz for my card! “Twigs and Stump,” with their kids “Chilly and Freezy”…the fun Diecember Limited Edition set by Tim Holtz and Simon Says Stamp!

I framed their Christmas card photo pic with Papertrey Ink’s “Shape Shifters Square 3” dies and used a sentiment from Waltzingmouse Stamps “Alpine Christmas.” The gingham background is made with The Greetery’s “Square Dance” stencils.

This color combination is SNOW much fun!  Thanks for stopping by!

Birthday Wreaths Throwdown

Ohh a bit of a trick (but also a treat to try) with this week’s Color Throwdown …plum, blush, and sage!

I made a background with The Greetery’s “Print Shop: Calico” and some mini eucalyptus wreaths with “Mini Boxwood Wreath Stamp & Cut!”

I added a sentiment and some little floral elements from “Birthday Blooms” and “Blessed Blooms.” This card reminds me of 80’s proms and curtains 😂…but it will be fun to send in the spring! 

Thanks for stopping by! ❤️

Coneflower Throwdown

Love the sunny colors at Color Throwdown  this week…turquoise, yellow, green, and brown!






I used the amazing Honey Bee Stamps “Lovely Layers:: Coneflower” dies!  The background was made with The Greetery’s “Square Dance” stencils and Tim Holtz Distress Oxide Inks in “Uncharted Mariner” and “Peacock Feathers.” The sentiment is made with The Greetery’s “Sentiment Starter” dies and “Bold Alphabet” dies. I am on a never-ending quest to align die cut letters 🙄😂! They always look SO straight to me, until the glue dries 15 minutes later. It’s like they wiggle around behind my back ðŸĪŠ! 

Gorgeous colors this week CTD! Thanks for stopping by! ☀️
