Hi !

Time for a new code word from Addicted To Clean and Simple.

 

 

 

This code word sounds like it would be easy, but I've really 

had a hard time deciding which  stamp is my favorite!

 

I finally decided it is which ever stamp I happen to be using at the time! lol

This week I'm into Halloween, so I'm really liking this adorable Frankie

stamp from Hero Arts.

Here's the card I made with him:

 

I made the dots using the eraser end of new pencils as a stamp.

I used Distress Inks

Ripe Persimmon, Dusty Concord and Twisted Citron.

Thanks for stopping by.

'till next time,

Frankie

Hello!

Today I'm entering the Color Throwdown

and the Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge

with this card:

yep got those colors.

 Simon Says Stamp -

This week the challenge is

Pop it up 

 

Yep, Frankie is popped up!

(please ignore the cat hair on Frankie's arm!)

Frankie is a cute stamp set from Hero Arts

and the BOO! is from Paper Smooches. 

I put Wink of Stella - Black on Frankie's suit jacket , 

pants and shoes for a little sparkle.

Here's what the inside looks like:

 

Oh, so true! 

Hope you're  having a good day!

'till next time,

Black Cats

I can hardly believe that it's  the last of September already!

Guess that means Halloween is right around the corner, so that's

 what I made today....a Halloween card.

 

 

Over at  CAS on Friday 

the challenge is to use a Die Cut on your card.

Hopefully this will count as clean & simple.

Here's what I used:

grey cardstock card base 

black cardstock with a circle cut out of it using

Simon Says Stamp Stitched Circles Die

orange & yellow watercolor sample from my stash

Lawn Fawn picket fence border die

Impression Obsession cat dies

Studio-g  Happy Halloween  stamp

white embossing powder

The standing cat and the fence are both 4 die cuts thick 

which IRL  gives the card some extra interest.

Thanks for stopping by.

'till next time,

flying

Hi!

Just wanted to share a couple of cards that I made today.

This first one I'm going to submit to Less is More

 

This second one I'm sending to my sister-in-law who is coming for a visit 

at the end of the month.

 It was fun using some older stamps...I think the bunny stamp is from 2011.

Here's  quick look at what I used:

Florals

Hi !

Time for a new code word from Addicted To Clean and Simple.

 

 

 

Our sponsor for this challenge is

STAMPlorations

Here's my take on the code word:

I used a Penny Black die (51-008 bashful)

which I colored with copic markers

The hello is from a Simon Says Stamp set called sending happy thoughts

for the white background I used

MFT Die-namics

Blueprints #13 

and

 Stitched Basic Edges 

To add extra interest and dimension

 the flowers are 4 layers thick 

and the hello has some glimmer from Wink of Stella- clear.

Ya know, that green does not look near that neon in real life! (just sayin')

Thanks for looking!

'till next time,

Doni

polar bear hello

Hi!

I'm playing along with  Color Throwdown today.

Here's what I came up with:

 

card recipe:

white cardstock 

navy blue cardstock

printed paper from Amy Tangerine 6x6 paper pad

Poppy stamps - hello background die

My Favorite things - Polar Bear Pals stamp set

I paper pieced the scarf from the printed paper 

and popped the bear up with pop dots , 

it's hard to tell from the picture 

here's a closer look:

I'm  also linking this up to
Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge - Clean and Simple.

Get well soon!

Today I'm playing along with CAS(E) this sketch.

 

 

Here's my take on it:

 

 and here's what I did on the inside:

 

The get well soon is from Lawn Fawn

The inside sentiment is from Words to the Rescue

For the sweet little floral bouquet I used a stamp from Amy Tangerine

 

had to do some creative masking off to only get the flowers but i think it was worth it!

Thanks for stopping by today.

'till next time,

Apples

Hi !

Time for a new code word from Addicted To Clean and Simple.

  This time I am playing Hostess and I chose the word Apples.

I made this card for my Granddaughter who will be a senior in high school this year.

And yes, I only used one apple and the code word is apples

but, close enough! Right? 

 Here's the inside:

 I used the cute little apples from the  Lawn Fawns Thanks a Bushel stamp set.

I used my computer to print the inside sentiment.

Hope you can play along with us!

Thanks for stopping by!!

'till next time,

Doni
