Stampin Up Everything is Rosy Mother's Day card

Welcome today!  I whipped up this pretty Mother's Day card for my niece with the new to me Stampin Up Everything is Rosy kit.  It was so pretty. It's been a while since I pulled out my Creative Memories border maker system.  I thought this sketch from Sketch N Scrap called for a fun punched border. I stamped the sentiment from Stampin Up Messages for Mom.

I used the Sketch N Scrap throwback sketch in the lower left.

In this photo you can see the rose gold foiling in the pattern papers. I popped up the floral elements.  I used the 1/2" scraps from cutting down the 6x6 papers to create the ribbons.

Ingredients:

Stampin Up Everything is Rosy DSP and kit pieces

Stampin Up Messages for Mom

Stampin Up Not Quite Navy ink

Creative Memories Scallop Dot border maker cartridge

misc card stock

pop dots and tape runner

Close to My Heart Sugar Rush for Sketches in Thyme

Hello and welcome today.  I am scrapping for Sketches in Thyme on Facebook.  I am continuing to scrap my 2022 trip to Chicago.  This month I printed some of my food pics.  I chose those pics because I picked up the used Close to My Heart scrapbook kit at a recent craft yard sale.  It was only a partial kit but I believe it will still make another couple of layouts.

Here is this week's sketch.

Here is a closer pic of each page.

Yummy ice cream, chocolates and popcorn along our walks downtown.

Ingredients:

Close to My Heart Sugar Rush 12x12 papers

Kindred Stamps shaker bits 

glue dots

Creative Memories circle cutting system

Play along with Sketches in Thyme on Facebook until the end of the month.  We have four different sketches with which to play along.

Please let me know below if you know the name.  Anyway, the patterns were so pretty, I only had about 6 sheets of 6x6 perfect for making three cards based on the sketch.

Here's this week's sketch.

Another version. I used the same sentiment and die but different paper patterns and flowers.

And the final card.
