Welcome to the next challenge over at Uniko Studio! I'm really loving the colors for this one...so nice and bright, colorful, and cheery! The theme is Thinking of You.

I tried a new technique, Divided Panels, for this card. Here is a tutorial by Maile Belles. I CASED the first card in her blog post.

I used a couple Flower Power stamp sets (See links in supplies list at end of post). I loved combining the different sized flowers and leaves. The tiny dot in the Background Builders: Vines set was used to give it a little extra character, stamping randomly throughout the flowers and leaves.

So glad you stopped by and I hope I've inspired you to try a new technique AND play along in our current challenge!!

Avery Elle April Guest Designer Search...

Today I'm sharing a card with you that was made specifically for the Avery Elle April Guest Designer Search.

Avery Elle has awesome stamps. I'm a new fan of this company, and if you've never seen their line of stamps and dies, you MUST check them out on their website. Their blog has lots of inspiration too, so be sure to pop over there!

I used a few elements from the Suzani stamp set to create a pattern on the card base. The sentiment is stamped on white cardstock and mounted to a Smokey Shadow panel, then popped up with foam tape for dimension. I just LOVE this card! There are so many great stamps in this set that you could create hundreds of different patterns! Soooo fun :D

Thanks for checking me out today!!

Supplies: 
Stamps: Avery Elle - Suzani, Petals and Stems (sentiment)
Cardstock: PTI - White, Smokey Shadow
Ink: SU - Cool Caribbean, Taken with Teal; PTI - Smokey Shadow
Other: Foam Tape

The sentiments are from the Thoughtful Greetings stamp set. I stamped them on a piece of vellum, scored a line along the top and bottom edge, and added a couple of matching buttons!

INSIDE SENTIMENT - You're special

INSIDE SENTIMENT - Thinking of you

INSIDE SENTIMENT - Happy Birthday

It's a funny thing that I'm the next stop after Amber on the hop because I was inspired by her project HERE for my blog hop project (Thanks, Amber!). I loved the idea of the square card set, so that's what I did here. Each card measures 4.25" x 4.25". I chose a CAS look, and made the main focus the frame and heart inside it. I absolutely LoVe this set! They are sooooo simple to make, you can choose any color, use just about any diecut shape, and use any small stamp for the inside. The heart is perfect for it though, right?!
So, I diecut the Nesties label on the card front to create a window. I used two Nesties together to diecut the frame shape, then stamped it with the Polka Dot Background, and adhered to the front of the card with dimensionals. The heart on the inside is also popped up. When you open the card, the sentiment is revealed! I also scored a frame border on the card front.

I hope I have inspired you on the hop today! Enjoy the rest of the stampy creations ;-)

Paper Therapy Challenge #24 - Color

-----If you are here for the DeNami Blog Hop,
please scroll down to previous post!-----

Good morning! It's the start of a new week and that means another Paper Therapy Challenge! These colors are really great together, don't you think?! I decided to create a Quilted Card using THIS SCS Tutorial. I wanted to change up the quilt pattern, so I found one HERE and used the one called Blocks and Stars. It took a little time for me to figure out which color cardstock I was going to use in which part of the quilt, and then where the patterned paper pieces would fit in. I think it worked out pretty good though! This was a fun card to make, and it reminded me so much of my Grandma while I was making it because she has made BEAUTIFUL quilts for years and years.

Supplies:

Stamps: Stampin' Up! - Warmest Regards

Cardstock: Stampin' Up - Chocolate Chip, Bashful Blue, Certainly Celery, Naturals Ivory
Patterned Paper: My Mind's Eye
Ink: Tsukineko - Jumbo Java

Other: SU 1 3/8" Square Punch, Embossing Folder - CB Victoria, DeNami-Button, Twine-May Arts
