Just Us Girls Challenge #787 - Die Week

Elizabeth is our host for Die Week at Just Us Girls and she would like us to use floral dies.

That's an easy assignment for me since I have so many floral dies.  The difficult is in choosing one.

I decided to go with my new Altenew Houseplants.  The flowers are cut from W9 Cashmere and C9 Grapefruit, the leaves from a green in my stash with a bit of gray for the pot. Everything was shaded with Altenew inks and the basket hung in front of Altenew's Masonry Wall.  

The Design Team has plenty of lovely inspiration for you.  I hope you'll take a look and then make a card for the challenge.

The Flower Challenge #105 - Add Embellishments

Where is the summer going?  It's August already and time for another The Flower Challenge.

 

I'm not a big embellishment user but it was fun finding a die set that I could design using them. 

It all began with Altenew's Zero Waste Floral Cover die cut in white and the various flowers and leaves colored with Altenew inks.  I used their enamel dots for the center of the flowers and added a BetterPress sentiment.  

Let's go see what the Design Team has for inspiration.  We'd love it if you got out your embellishments and decorated a card for the challenge.

Freshly Made Sketches #697 and NBUS #77

It's been a fun and busy week but I still had time to a make card for Freshly Made Sketches and since I'm  using some new dies, I'm also sending this to Darnell's NBUS. 

I already have a Tim Holtz wreath but I loved this one with the Christmas symbols so I had to have this one too.  It's called Vault Festive Wreath and it's cut from a variety of scraps.  The background paper is from a freebie pack I got from Honey Bee last Christmas and the sentiment is from SSS.  

One more Christmas card for my stash.  How are yours coming?

Just Us Girls #786 - CASE a Designer

Here's the Design Team's chance to inspire you with their individual cards as Ina hosts CASE a Designer Week at Just Us Girls. 

I had fun with this card and I hope it inspires you to use the elements to make a card of your own.  The Honey Bee Picnic Basket was made and hiding in the package.  I added it to a tan background that was embossed with the HB Burlap folder and filled it with some of the TH Wildflowers.  The best way I saw to add a sentiment was with The Greetery Market Basket's sentiment and holder on a strip of black.   

Not your style?  The rest of the Design Team have a variety of ideas for you to choose from.  We hope you except the challenge and link your card.

Time Out #294 - Pick Two

Have you been enjoying our Pick Two challenges at Time Out?  We have another one for you.

Please be sure to let us know what two, or more, you pick for your card.  I actually picked four.

For the rainbow, stripes, I picked a DSP from Honey Bee, tearing it along the edge, although it's not very apparent in the photo.  This was placed on a background embossed with a star folder.  The eclipsed birthday die is from CUTplorations and the "happy" is Hero Arts. 

This challenge is sponsored by Newton's Nook and they will award the winner a $25 store credit.  The only way you can win is to make a card for our challenge.  I hope to see you in the gallery.
