It's that time again... Today's challenge over at Totally Stampalicious to is to make a "Non" occasion card. No birthdays, no anniversary's, no valentines, no St. Patricks day - you get the picture.. Just saying "Hello" - sometimes it's nice just to give someone a card for "no reason at all".

I used the "Cute Turtles" image and sentiment on my first card. The layout I used is from Splitcoast Stampers - sketch challenge #SC317.

For the card above I used Desiree from the Totally Stampalicious - Bugaboo Brats set. I made this card for Splitcoast Stampers - Featured Stamper challenge #FS208. Sue (aka Tillment) is this weeks Featured Stamper. I cased this sweet card of hers "Strawberries and Cream".

Just to let you know, I will sadly be leaving the Totally Stampalicious Design Team. It was a hard decision to make, but I need to take some time out to enjoy my new twin grand babies "Austin and Sydney" and the rest of my family. I need less commitments and I am sure most of you will understand where I am coming from. I will continue to play in the Totally Stampalicious challenges when I can come and visit you in Blogland..

Thank you so much for stopping in,

Stampalicious Colour Challenge

It's time for another Totally Stampalicious Blog challenge - this week our challenge to you is to use "red and pink" on your card or project. Here is my take on the challenge. I used "Stampalicious Scarlette"
and one of the sentiments from this Promotional set.

I stamped the image with versafine onyx black ink and clear embossed. Water coloured image using Tombow markers. The dark red dp is dry embossed with hearts. The polka dot and flower dp is from My Minds Eye - Quite Contrary line. Both of these panels were dry embossed, one with Swiss Dot folder and the other with Polka dot folder. I scored vertical lines on the pink panel behind Scarlette - to look like wall paneling. Stamped the sentiment on Vellum with Stazon jet black ink, punched out with oval punch. Sponged all edges with Regal Rose ink. Matted panels with black card stock. All edges were stitched. Added the scalloped edge to the image panel, the photo corner, flower rhinestone and Stickles. Image panel and Scarlette are popped up. Finished the inside of the card.


Make sure to head on over to the Totally Stampalicous blog to see what the other DT members have come up with to inspire you. Upload your card to your blog or gallery on Mr. Linky so we can come and see your project. Remember Totally Stampalicious is still looking for guest designers, they are choosing them only from those who enter the TS challenges.

A red hat for Joyce

The flower was punched out three times using a Cuttlebug flower die - once from a plastic coffee can lid and twice from Christmas tissue paper (from one of my gifts) - the red leaves are from Christmas wrapping paper (from a gift). The image I used is from Totally Stampalicious - Bugaboo line called "Red Hat Stella".

This card is also for two challenges over at Splitcoast Stampers - sketch challenge #SC312 and
