I wanted to play a challenge today so I went trolling for a couple. Success! I decided to play along with the Paper Players Theme Challenge and the TGIF color challenge. I needed a birthday card so that’s the direction I went. Take a look at today’s card:
Here are the challenges that inspired me:
Now for the details:
- I decided a Bokeh card would be perfect for the circle challenge. I love the way it turned out with the color combo from TGIF!
- The cute little birthday cake is from the stamp set Endless Wishes.
- For a little bling, I used some of the Sweet Sugarplum Ribbon from the Glitter Ribbon Combo Pack. I unraveled the ribbon and tucked it behind the cute cake.
Can’t wait to put this beauty in the mail!
Happy stampin’,

Patti MacLeith has a fun sketch this week over at the Pals Paper Arts Challenge. I just had to play along! This card uses products from the fabulous Holiday Catalog. You can order these products starting today! VERY exciting!
Let’s take a look:
Isn’t this card fun? Let’s take a look at my inspiration:
As you can see, I stayed true to the original sketch.
Here are the details for my card:
- I used Thick Whisper White Cardstock for my base.
- The square is Elegant Eggplant and the moon is Crushed Curry.
- The stamp set is Spooky Fun and is on page 52 in the catalog. You can make many cute projects from this one little set!

Hello! Today I went over to the TGIF Challenge site and found a CASE the Designer Challenge. I CASEd Holly’s card. Not until I was done, did I realize her card was a CASE of Cathy Caines. So that makes my card a CASE of a CASE. Confused?
Here’s a look at my card:
Here’s Holly’s card:
And here’s Cathie’s card that started the chain reaction:
It’s interesting to see how an idea begins and morphs through multiple interpretations, isn’t it?
Here’s how I CASEd Holly:
- I implemented Holly’s sketch exactly.
- Instead of feathers, I used flamingos which have feathers.
- My color scheme is Sweet Sugarplum and Flirty Flamingo along with a pop of black. Holly uses purples and pinks in her feathers as well.
- I stamped my flamingos using the Baby Wipe Technique so I could make them multi-colored like Holly’s feathers.
I have to show you this picture before I close. It’s of a giant flamingo in front of a hotel in the town where my dad lives. That thing’s been there for as long as I can remember.

Hi! I’m playing along with the sketch over at the Paper Players today. The sketch is perfect for showing off some of Stampin’ Up’s beautiful Designer Series Papers so that’s exactly what I did.
Here’s my card for today:
Isn’t it sweet? I needed a thank you card and this card is perfect.
Here’s the PP310 banner that was my inspiration:
Here are the details:
- I used Island Indigo as my card base to coordinate with the beautiful DSP from the Blooms and Bliss Paper Pack.
- The flower pots are from the Gift From the Garden Stamp Set. I colored the stamp with my Stampin’ Write Markers. The colors I used are Cajun Craze, Island Indigo, Mint Macaron and Emerald Envy.
- The sentiment from the Watercolor Wings Stamp Set is embossed in white, cut into a banner, and popped up with Dimensionals.
- I added 3 rhinestones for some sparkle.
This card is on its way to my friend, Gloria. She brought me a HUGE piece of homemade cheesecake and I savored it down to the very last crumb! Gloria also brought me a bag of jawbreakers for my candy drawer at school. She knows this girl loves her sweets! LOL

I have a fun and super easy Halloween card for you that was inspired by the Global Design Project’s sketch challenge for this week. Let’s get right to it and take a peek at my card:
Here is the GDP050 sketch that was my inspiration:
As you can see the sketch is very open ended. I chose to keep it simple and let the paper and stamp set shine (or glow in the dark.)
Here are the details:
- I let the Halloween Night Specialty DSP be the star on my card. I love all of the spooky little details on this paper.
- The stamp set I used for my card is Spooky Fun. I stamped the greeting from the set in Pumpkin Pie.
- The witch is also from Spooky Fun. I stamped her in Archival Basic Black then colored her with my Stampin’ Write Markers. I used the coordinating Halloween Scenes Edgelets Dies to cut her out.
Halloween will be here be we know it! Glad I have my first Halloween card of many, finished.
Happy stampin’,
Robin
