Lifted "a little bird"

I lifted this card from another CTMH consultant. Loved it so much, I made an entire set of cards I will show you this week, including the sweet elephant from yesterday.
I started with a White Daisy base, then added Cocoa cardstock. The 1st layers of patterned paper is from Dream Pop. The stripes are from Bee & Bumble next to some Sunset cardstock. The scallop circle is punched from Sunflower cardstock, then there is this sweet bird. It is from a reward set and stamped in Cocoa ink. The flourish is also stamped in Cocoa ink and is from a retired set.

All supplies are Close To My Heart.
Patterned Paper: Dream Pop; Bee & Bumble
Cardstock: White Daisy; Cocoa; Sunset; Sunflower
Ink: Cocoa
Tools: 2" scallop punch; Art Philosophy Cricut cartridge

Pink and Grey.....oh my...

I do love pairing pink and grey....this card is part of the set I created using Dream Pop and our rewards stamp set, Critter Expressions.
I started with a White Daisy cardstock base, then added Slate cardstock. Next came embossed cardstock and patterned cardstock from the Dream Pop set. The border is a zip strip from Dream Pop, also. I punched the scalloped circle with our 2" punch, then added a circle to stamp this sweet elephant on in Black ink.

Chevrons have it!

While I still have one foot dangling from the chevron band wagon.....I thought they coordinated well with this Spellbinder D'Lite medallion.
I started with a Colonial White card base and added Ruby, then Cashmere cardstock. I stamped the chevrons in coordinating ink from, In The Background. I precut the medallion shape from the Cashmere cardstock, then added a medallion cut from Cotton Candy cardstock, to the top. A Ruby button and Natural  Hemp and a sentiment from, Thank You.

All supplies are Close To My Heart, unless noted.

I didn't forget.........

I am happy June has arrived, but sad Dream Pop is gone. I love the patterned papers in this kit and here is the sweet elephant one, again.
I used Whisper cardstock on top of my White Daisy base. I added a Slate border with a zip strip from, For Always. I added a Slate button tied up with Black hemp. My memory fails me as to which set this birthday sentiment came from.

Paper: Dream Pop; For Always

Chantilly gets D'Lited!

Sometimes it gets a wee bit crazy on my work space when I get new tools. I received these new Spellbinders D'Lite dies and went on a cutting frenzy. Here is another die and card.
What is great about these dies, is you really don't need a lot more to complete a card. I used Lagoon cardstock with some White Daisy. I added patterned paper from Chantilly, then our spectacular Sweet Leaf stitched grosgrain ribbon. I stamped with Lagoon ink from, retired A Little Something. I added the die cut in Lagoon cardstock and a Sweet Leaf button.

All supplies are Close To My Heart, unless noted.
Paper: Chantilly
Stamp: A Little Something
Cardstock: White Daisy; Lagoon

Embellishments: Sweet Leaf stitched grosgrain and button
