Color My World Happy

Greetings.  Welcome to this week's DOstamper STARS challenge.  This week we are playing with color.  These colors seemed so bright and cheerful, I thought a happy card was in order.

 

I used strips of paper from the Polka Dot Parade DSP collection to create my banners.  This DSP is now retired, but the Brights Background DSP Stack would be a good alternative. 

 

The flower is from the Mixed Bunch stamp set.  I stamped the image with Jet Black Stazon on Whisper White cardstock and then punched it out using the Blossom Punch.  I added a Daffodil Delight candy dot to the center.

 

 

Hopefully this card brought a smile to your face.  Visit my fellow STARS for more inspiration.

Home Sweet Home #80

Happy May Day!!  I can't believe it is the first of May already.  It has been so gray and rainy here in Wisconsin.  It doesn't really feel like spring yet.  It could be worse - we could be getting snow like they are farther north.

 

 

I was inspired by the colors and the circle/polka dot shapes in this photo.  I love the Timeless Talk stamp set and it made an appearance here again today.  I donate a lot of my cards to Operation Write Home, so I am always on the hunt for stamps that are gender neutral or masculine.

 

The sentiment is from the Paper Pumpkin Welcome Kit.

 

Thanks for stopping by.  Be sure to visit my fellow STARS for more inspiration.

Polka Dot Thank You

When I saw the sketch at Retro Sketches this week I knew exactly what I was going to make.  Then life got in the way and here it is Friday night, but I did it.  I made my card.  Here is the sketch.

I had the idea to create a tri-fold card using the triangular side as one of the folded elements.  I turned the card vertically.  I used the arrow paper clip to hold the flap closed until the recipient opens the card to find a message inside.

 

 

It turned out just like I hoped.  Hope you enjoy this card.  Thanks for visiting.
