Hello hello! I'm playing along with <a href="http://www.simonsaysstampblog.com/wednesdaychallenge/simon-says-showers-andor-flowers/" target="_blank">Simon Says Stamp's Wednesday Challenge</a>, where the theme this week is Showers and/or Flowers. I made my first ever pop-up box card for this challenge. Such a labor of love!<br />
<br />
First I stamped, colored, die-cut and fussy cut images.<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj4cj68S-VBh3jz8datmez4xG8qbI2RGVKmohrl3zJnyZCxDRMm0oDzeYQPp96S8RRNC0_GdQrjW0zaPfFOaz5X61CN1E-Ogr7i03co0xznsyyoVPKTmai4y1YZvoDj27KxX0cA3qXuMjU2/s1600/Popup1.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj4cj68S-VBh3jz8datmez4xG8qbI2RGVKmohrl3zJnyZCxDRMm0oDzeYQPp96S8RRNC0_GdQrjW0zaPfFOaz5X61CN1E-Ogr7i03co0xznsyyoVPKTmai4y1YZvoDj27KxX0cA3qXuMjU2/s640/Popup1.JPG" width="640" /></a></div>
</div>
Then I put together the pop-up box...<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgv9IbU-VJC9i86_SzLlg-bDxwgxdp1KwGzso5Q4v_ElKQBb7fxKxKe10xSXEiNOsA85qwth5jAJNBC2uc7C4StOSGzfV9gCKWX64vKUlGo5Llhmq-KDDiq2q-Aa6y9nLLJdlYKKqHKGd7u/s1600/Popup2.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgv9IbU-VJC9i86_SzLlg-bDxwgxdp1KwGzso5Q4v_ElKQBb7fxKxKe10xSXEiNOsA85qwth5jAJNBC2uc7C4StOSGzfV9gCKWX64vKUlGo5Llhmq-KDDiq2q-Aa6y9nLLJdlYKKqHKGd7u/s640/Popup2.JPG" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
...and arranged everything inside. So pleased with the results.<br />
<br />

Hello there! I'm playing along with a couple of challenges today. The first is the <a href="http://ellenhutson.typepad.com/the_classroom_new/mix-it-up-challenge/" target="_blank">Essentials by Ellen Mix It Up Challenge</a>, where we are combining Essentials by Ellen and Waffle Flower Crafts products.<br />

The second challenge is <a href="http://casethissketch.blogspot.com/2017/04/case-this-sketch-217.html" target="_blank">CAS(E) this Sketch</a>, where we are using the following layout.<br />

Putting together the two challenges, I made this...<br />
<br />

<br />
For my card, I used the <a href="https://www.ellenhutson.com/essentials-by-ellen-designer-dies-wild-garden-by-julie-ebersole/" target="_blank">Wild Garden</a> dies for the flowers. The sentiment comes from <a href="https://waffleflower.com/products/balloon-messages-stamp-set?variant=40224308551" target="_blank">Balloon Messages</a>. <br />
<br />
Thanks for taking a look!<br />

<div style="text-align: left;">
The <a href="http://ellenhutson.typepad.com/the_classroom_new/2017/03/essentials-by-ellen-march-pin-sights-challenge.html" target="_blank">Essentials by Ellen Pin-Sights challenge</a> is a monthly challenge inspired by Pinterest photos. Here is the Pinterest board to serve as our inspiration:</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgWi2EUPuhIDIhQbSL0zuc7d3Jsj2vb30mcvu8jViUSgCXcgwCWV1P0wMHkhVDAwLP8Rc6Y1BTgZ-5_lDkM07wrCkJ-hc3PmciDnEaX6-lcsssT8X2Q8eMv6rkIPd9pE9u9RXdicVxZts_Z/s1600/pinsights.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.800000190734863px; margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgWi2EUPuhIDIhQbSL0zuc7d3Jsj2vb30mcvu8jViUSgCXcgwCWV1P0wMHkhVDAwLP8Rc6Y1BTgZ-5_lDkM07wrCkJ-hc3PmciDnEaX6-lcsssT8X2Q8eMv6rkIPd9pE9u9RXdicVxZts_Z/s640/pinsights.jpg" width="498" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
I was inspired by the lighter greens and golden accents in the Pinterest board, and put together this card:</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiVfvAcf6jba2-XWd-EtEbAgcUfkNXpN-rtWZLvAXqfiO4mAUGIGX4zjwz4xrpYFX4LZP2eeQnh7wCvFfM_DtYnjpMX50O8yil-LpnKntnT_89CU30rFFsVwOD-fieYOvrwIokt22To53BA/s1600/Created+by+Lorraine+-+pinsights+3.16.17.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.800000190734863px; margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiVfvAcf6jba2-XWd-EtEbAgcUfkNXpN-rtWZLvAXqfiO4mAUGIGX4zjwz4xrpYFX4LZP2eeQnh7wCvFfM_DtYnjpMX50O8yil-LpnKntnT_89CU30rFFsVwOD-fieYOvrwIokt22To53BA/s640/Created+by+Lorraine+-+pinsights+3.16.17.jpg" width="480" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
To make this card, first I die-cut, stamped, and colored the bear (in that order). Then I stamped, colored and die cut all the accessories (again, in that order). I wanted the bear to have a picnic basket full of green apples, so I colored some ice cream cones green. They will later be positioned to look like apples.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgkAve6_Lc7M-_cTDnYbreDwGjkx4YJLH6qPr-E7PaXaaOmXZVjZjrpNi-A6YXbGApHeL8DqtvB9hqjAILqn3DBSWFTdA1yrfReSYOoramfI_j6FgZ7hl75j5q9ZunZhb-SSpEXoQs3PU7y/s1600/IMG_5329.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgkAve6_Lc7M-_cTDnYbreDwGjkx4YJLH6qPr-E7PaXaaOmXZVjZjrpNi-A6YXbGApHeL8DqtvB9hqjAILqn3DBSWFTdA1yrfReSYOoramfI_j6FgZ7hl75j5q9ZunZhb-SSpEXoQs3PU7y/s400/IMG_5329.JPG" width="400" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Next, I played around with the placement of each element. In this arrangement, I thought about making the bear a little shy by having him hide behind the flowers...</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEga8-4krJBiguOoRG5jFSkGlK0PU2TC6FyCoBPU4oJKSuxfnKDNDIKMcZILAmQjWupFAO3GlYw5cFUWcif9re-7NkuhKIalbZ64raDn4zTnF4BOk23TIdbezPE_fsW5ieCU_5HHOic241lh/s1600/IMG_5330.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEga8-4krJBiguOoRG5jFSkGlK0PU2TC6FyCoBPU4oJKSuxfnKDNDIKMcZILAmQjWupFAO3GlYw5cFUWcif9re-7NkuhKIalbZ64raDn4zTnF4BOk23TIdbezPE_fsW5ieCU_5HHOic241lh/s400/IMG_5330.JPG" width="400" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I then decided on this placement below. Note, the ice cream cones were glued behind the basket so that they look like apples.</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgG1gcMUTEDp863Lurg4E0sCJrR6OxTqJ5QybHXAySzzocdrHanvZnAf9cf77cBdyIc7mz173mafrRVYaNN9SqhQogm9iDMncyRa2WenJedJpeteWwdHksaWmclTwQTRD62LhDCd5-J3ACb/s1600/IMG_5331.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgG1gcMUTEDp863Lurg4E0sCJrR6OxTqJ5QybHXAySzzocdrHanvZnAf9cf77cBdyIc7mz173mafrRVYaNN9SqhQogm9iDMncyRa2WenJedJpeteWwdHksaWmclTwQTRD62LhDCd5-J3ACb/s400/IMG_5331.JPG" width="400" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
To bring the light green and gold together, I masked off part of the card and then blended in green ink. Then I removed the masking tape and put it over the green ink that I had just applied. I then lightly blended some yellow/gold to look like a little sunshiny glow. I stamped and colored in the sentiment and finally adhered the bear and accessories with a combo of glue and foam tape.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhkI1-dpTULBMJL1wA2d-67pFsMwwWRO3GtP2VM46rvSh4x79PrKSRb3wFK1xAnYmD3kxIdAU839jUa2_PAQqrwa5D2Jp2dxD5p-C3sI_-fZPs0XWrIy4iH-rH7rnonUYT8zkN_SzA-kvPy/s1600/IMG_5341.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhkI1-dpTULBMJL1wA2d-67pFsMwwWRO3GtP2VM46rvSh4x79PrKSRb3wFK1xAnYmD3kxIdAU839jUa2_PAQqrwa5D2Jp2dxD5p-C3sI_-fZPs0XWrIy4iH-rH7rnonUYT8zkN_SzA-kvPy/s640/IMG_5341.JPG" width="480" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
And there you have it. A little bear with apples and honey, ready to go on a picnic! </div>

I tried to achieve the splatter and blotchy look by using a

waited for everything to dry, and stamped on the blue snowflakes.<o:p></o:p></div>

I stamped, colored (with Copics), and die cut the buildings. Then I die cut the snowy hill. Next, I adhered everything onto the card base

I can't stop making pun-based cards and I only wish I had more time to play in the current <a href="http://lawnscaping.blogspot.com/2016/08/lawnscaping-challenge-136-punny-time.html">Lawnscaping Challenge</a>, appropriately entitled "Punny Time". Here's my final entry for this challenge:<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">

</div>
<br />
The backstory: I made this card for my pun-loving friend, Cynthia, who is celebrating her birthday at a karaoke bar, followed by a Michael Jackson tribute party. So, a karaokeing ewe singing one of Cynthia's favorite songs, Michael Jacksons "Rock With You", made perfect sense for a birthday card.<br />

<div style="text-align: left;">
I used a bunch of Lawn Fawn stamp sets for this set: </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
</div>
<ul style="text-align: left;">
<li>The ewe is from <a href="http://www.lawnfawn.com/products/baaah-humbug">Baaah Humbug</a></li>
<li>The custom sentiment was made using <a href="http://www.lawnfawn.com/products/smittys-abcs">Smitty's ABCs</a></li>
<li>The stars in the spotlight are from <a href="http://www.lawnfawn.com/products/lucky-stars">Lucky Stars</a></li>
<li>The musical notes are from <a href="http://www.lawnfawn.com/products/holiday-party-animal">Holiday Party Animal</a></li>
<li>The base of the spotlight was made by using the backside of the cookie platter stamp from <a href="http://www.lawnfawn.com/products/milk-and-cookies">Milk and Cookies</a></li>
<li>And the microphone was made from an ice cream cone from <a href="http://www.lawnfawn.com/products/party-animal">Party Animal</a> that I doctored a bit</li>

Ah yes, up until recently my proudest moment was beating my librarian/geography and world history-loving friend in a thrilling game of "Who can name the most countries that end in the letter A" (Note: there are lots of 'em). But now, I have to say that my proudest moment is turning an ice cream cone into a microphone:)</div>

I love a good pun, and with the many punny sentiments that Lawn Fawn provides in their stamp sets, I had a lot to choose from. I chose one of my favorites from the stamp set, Love You Tons, and made this.</div>

Hey there! I’m

<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
For this card, I used a sentiment from <a href="http://mamaelephant.com/products/good-times" target="_blank">Mama Elephant’s GoodTimes stamp se</a>t. I paired up the little
critter from <a href="http://www.ellenhutson.com/mama-elephant-clear-stamps-rowdy-raccoons/" target="_blank">Mama Elephant’s Rowdy Raccoons </a>with the sun from <a href="http://www.ellenhutson.com/essentials-by-ellen-clear-stamps-all-inside-by-julie-ebersole/" target="_blank">Essential byEllen’s All Inside</a>. I loved the way the
raccoon and sun have the same smug expression, kind of like they’re besties
sharing an inside joke or something.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
First, I stamped the images on cardstock and colored them in
with Copic markers.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<o:p><br /></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">

<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Next, I die-cut the images using the corresponding dies:
<a href="http://www.ellenhutson.com/mama-elephant-creative-cuts-rowdy-raccoons/" target="_blank">Mama Elephant’s Rowdy Raccoons creative cuts</a> and <a href="http://www.ellenhutson.com/essentials-by-ellen-designer-dies-all-inside-by-julie-ebersole/" target="_blank">Essential by Ellen’s AllInside dies</a>.<o:p></o:p></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
For the watercolor background, I used a combination of Derwent
Inktense pencils and Tim Holtz distress inks.
I also painted in some hearts using the Inktense pencils. Lastly, after the background was dry, I stamped
the sentiment and adhered the images on the card with foam adhesive.<o:p></o:p></div>

I was pretty excited about this challenge because I’ve been
trying to use up bits of scrap paper that I just refuse to throw away. So putting this card together really helped
make a dent in my scrap paper pile. I
first grabbed some Lawn Fawn paper scraps in several shades of blue. Then I used various <a href="http://www.lawnfawn.com/collections/stackables/products/circle-stackables" target="_blank">Circle Stackable</a> dies to
cut out half-moon shapes in various sizes.<o:p></o:p></div>

I then adhered the die-cuts with glue and foam tape to get
some dimension. Next, I stamped, colored
(with Copics), and die-cut the otter using the <a href="http://www.lawnfawn.com/products/year-five" target="_blank">Year 5 stamp set </a>and corresponding

I also used Mama Elephant's So Breezy stamp set (just for the "wishing you" part of sentiment). <br />
<br />
Since I wanted to play around more with the All Inside set, I grabbed a couple of my other Mama Elephant stamp sets and made a couple more.

Hi there! I'm sharing a card that I made using the <a href="http://www.ellenhutson.com/essentials-by-ellen-designer-dies-wild-garden-by-julie-ebersole/" target="_blank">Wild Garden dies by Essentials by Ellen</a>. The sentiment comes from <a href="http://www.ellenhutson.com/mama-elephant-clear-stamps-many-thanks/" target="_blank">Mama Elephant's Many Thanks</a>, which I know I've said before, is my most frequently used stamp set ever.</div>

To make this card, I die cut the flowers and leaves from scraps of colored cardstock samples that I've had for over 2 years (hoard much?). I stamped and cut out the sentiment. Then I adhered everything down to the card base using glue and foam tape. Lastly, I glued on a few black sequins to match the banner. With minimal stamping and basic techniques, this card could be mass produced quite easily.</div>

I'm back from a wonderful time spent with my family in California. My mom had her 50 year reunion from medical school and my brother got married while I was out there, so my time was filled with celebrations, family, and so much love! Still feeling the love, which inspired my creation.<br />

<div style="text-align: left;">
I kept my card CAS by using just two images and leaving a lot of white space. The sunshine was made by masking off the bottom portion of the card and blending in distress ink to look like the sun. I then stamped the images, colored them with Copic markers, and die-cut them. They're adhered with glue and foam tape.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
Note: The heart that the penguin is holding is drawn in. I wanted it to be smaller than the heart that was included in the stamp set. Also, I don't have many stamp sentiments in French so I hand-wrote the sentiment. The card is for my French-speaking friend for his birthday:)<br />

I'm excited to share my very first post for <a href="http://butterflyreflectionsink.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">Butterfly Reflection, Ink's blog</a> as part of the Spring/Summer design team. Seriously, I'm so happy about being part of the team that I actually dusted off my computer, cleared the cobwebs from my own blog, and made this card...it really has been a long time.<br />
<br />

I made this card using two stamp sets that I've been eyeing since they were released. The first is <a href="https://butterflyreflectionsink.3dcartstores.com/Sophisticated-Script-Stamp-Set_p_6032.html" target="_blank">Concord & 9th Sophisticated Script</a>. Honestly, the script is so dreamy and though I was intimidated at first with lining up the letters just so, I think the stamps are quite forgiving. <br />
<br />
The cascading flowers come from <a href="http://butterflyreflectionsink.3dcartstores.com/Banner-Wreath-Stamp-Set_p_6055.html" target="_blank">Avery Elle's Banner Wreath</a> stamp set, which caught my attention because of their delicate lines. To add dimension to the card, I placed the flowers down in three layers: (1) stamped and colored (combination of colored pencils and Copics) directly onto the card panel; (2) stamped, colored, die-cut and glued over stamped images; and (3) die-cuts popped up over layers 1 and 2 with some foam adhesive.<br />
