Just Us Girls #788 ~ Birthday Wishes

Hello lovelies, hope life is treating you well. We have a new challenge for you today at Just Us Girls. It's Word Week and Elizabeth has chosen {BIRTHDAY} as our theme. Here's what I came up with...

This sweet little bunny is from Lasting Impressions. After fussy cutting him, I popped him onto a card base with ink blended grass and stenciled clouds. He's tucked into a strip of die cut grass (IO). Doesn't he look comfy? A pretty little birthday sentiment from Poppystamps and a trio of Martha Stewart punched butterflies complete the scene. 

We all need a supply of birthday cards in our stash, right?

Come play along with us so you don't run out!

Just Us Girls #787 ~ Thank You

We've had such a busy summer and it's flown by. I can't believe it's August already! That does bring with it a new round of challenges at Just Us Girls. Elizabeth is kicking things off with Die Cut week. She's made it easy... FLORALS! A new month also means a new guest designer. We're tickled pink to have Julie Beech joining us!

After seeing so many of my blogging friends use this pretty Amazing Things set from Pinkfresh Studios, I had to go shopping. Stamps, stencils and dies cuts... oh my! I framed (PTI) this little beauty with shimmery plum and lavender gingham papers. Doing it this way let me create a second card using the opposites of the frame die cuts. 

I don't use purple very often, but this sweet gingham paper nudged me in that direction!

Time for you to pick a posey or two and join us this week!

Just Us Girls #786 ~ Memo

Hello and welcome! Ina is hosting our final challenge of the month at Just Us Girls. This is a fun one ~ CASE a DT member! Pick any of our cards and CASE it, easy peasy! Here's what I have to share this week.
 

Everything I've used, with the exception of the paper, is from The Stamp Market. The cute 'memo plate' was hot foiled using rose gold foil. My big bold butterfly was Copic colored with orange Stickles added to her body. I played around with lots of different paper and patterns for the big leaves she's perched on. In the end the sweet polka dots won! 

We look forward to seeing your CASE cards in our gallery this week. Remember that if you're chosen as the Winner of the Week in any of our challenges, you have a chance to guest design with us for a month!

Thanks so much for stopping by to visit. I love it when you do!

Just Us Girls #785 ~ Happy Day

Hello, friends! We have a new challenge up on the Just Us Girls blog today. It's STENCIL WEEK and I had such a good time creating my card. Take a look... 

I started with a PPP bokeh stencil set. After my stenciling was complete, I die cut it with a PTI postage die. The outer frame portion was cut twice again so the inner panel could sink in. I adore this Anita Jeram bunny from Colorado Craft. Isn't he just the sweetest little fella! There's just a touch of gray shading added to him along with a little blush pink in his ear and on his nose. 

It's your turn now, what stencil will you pick? Come on, you know you have a few to choose from and I can't wait to see what you create for our gallery!
