it's Brenda's turn to choose the challenge and she's saying, "Everything's Coming Up..." which just means that she wants to see any flora! Perfect for spring!
This is what I did.....
I went cas for this challenge. I adore this image, it was a colouring book freebie if you can believe it. I tell ya....I've really gotta splurge on some more die cut words. I am making too many thank you cards for what I ever use (seeing as I'm almost never needing a thank you card) just because I happen to have some wonderful "thanks" and "thank you" dies. Now, isn't that crafty laziness in the extreme? Rather than making a bit of effort and die cutting individual letters for a card that I might be able to use, I just make yet another thank you card to sit in the card bucket pretty much indefinitely. If anyone has a suggestion on a good die cut word set, please, please, please leave me the name or link in the comments. As the card says, thanks. (:
Why not give our challenge a go this week and head on over to Little Red Wagon and link up? And, while you're there, be sure to check out the fantastic projects the other Girlfriends have created.

Such a super image - and a bonus that it was a freebie!! I really like the design layout of your card too!
ReplyDeleteGreat card! Love those shades of green. I love word dies! One I use often is "with Sympathy" from Avery Elle (D-16-24).
ReplyDeleteSuch a cool background sheet - and a fun image! Thanks so much for playing at TSOT!
ReplyDeleteHi Jean,
ReplyDeletewhat a super design card and such a lovely and unusual shape.
I love your potted plant.
Thank you for joining the MAWTT Challenge.
Lots of crafty love. Jenny L. DT
Very eye-catching card, Jan! Lovely job on the coloring!!! You can never go wrong with "Happy Birthday" dies. Just about every company offers them. I think your pot of shamrocks is perfect with your "thanks" sentiment, though. You might donate your cards to a local nursing home where I'm sure cards saying thanks would be used and appreciated! Thank you for sharing your sweet card with us a Try Stampin' on Tuesday! -Donna
ReplyDeleteWonderful card, thanks for joining us at MAWTT . Xxxx
ReplyDeleteNow see, this is why you are a Master Card Maker. I wouldn't have ever thought up this design, and with these papers. We're talkin' genius move here!!! Love, love, love it!!! I don't know why it reminds me of a 70's vibe, but it does. And since I really like that look, you know that's a complement. Now, about the word die-cuts... admittedly I don't do phrase die-cuts much, but you've inspired me so a while back I bought some and just recently used one on a card. They are Spellbinders Phrase I set. I used Happy Birthday and I was pleased with the size and how they cut. https://www.123stitch.com/item/Spellbinders-Shapeabilities-Dies-Phrase-Set-One/SPEL-S4-563 Mine were on sale, I bet you can find them on sale in Canada, too. I also bought some no-brand ones, super inexpensive but not yet used.
ReplyDeleteI love your card, the colors, the shapes, fun image, so creative. I love that card base, it looks as if it has a lovely texture...is it kraft or something special?
ReplyDeletePS - Paper Smooches is having a sale, I think until tomorrow. They have a ton of fun word dies.
DeleteLove your card, great layout and I love the image you used.
ReplyDeleteThank you for joining us at Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge this week.
