Together Is the Nicest Place To Be–CTD #227

Happy Wednesday, y’all! It’s Color Throwdown time and this week Lynn has some dreamy colors for us to work with.



I’m using the new Die-namics Boy Meets Girl for my card, along with the new Die-namics Heart STAX. I can’t say this enough—I love these hearts!!! I think my layout is pretty obvious, so I won’t bore you with the little details, except to tell you that the sentiment is from My Favorite Sentiments ;-)

Here’s the inside with a sentiment from Clearly Sentimental About Anniversaries.

And that’s it from me! Remember, you do not have to have the exact colors to play the Color Throwdown challenge. If you don't, just use the closest you have. So, c'mon over to the Color Throwdown blog and play along with us this week. Please use the link service to post your card and please link directly to your card so we can find it easily. And please include a link in your post to the Color Throwdown. If you upload your card to a public forum, please use the keyword CTD227 so we can see your beauty all in one place. Hope to see you there! Be sure to check out what the other team members have come up with this week!

I love these eggs, don’t you? Love the designs on them—just think of all the color combos you can come up with using them :) I went bright and Spring-y with my LJD Embellished Eggs images. First, I cut out my eggs and then stamped them with, left to right, Lemon Drop Ink, Lemon Drop and Razzle Berry, and Razzle Berry Ink. After I got the eggs made, I “hid” them in a scene made of embossed Berrylicious card stock, corrugated Die-namics Cloud Trio, and Die-namics Fresh Cut Grass. I stamped the sentiment on a Die-namics Fishtail Flags STAX die cut and popped it up on some foam.

Here’s the inside, with another sentiment from the set:

Make Every Moment Count–C4C #170

Hi, everyone, it’s that crazy time again—time for Crazy 4 Challenges! This week Betty is challenging everyone to CASE…ME! I had hand surgery several weeks ago and she is dedicating today’s challenge to me! How stinkin’ SWEET is that, huh? So, I didn’t exactly CASE myself, but I did manage to get a card made early for this week :) Thank you, Betty!!

I dusted off my Die-namics Behind the Camera Die and Stamp Set for this card. After I created my base with Kraft card stock, Black Licorice card stock, and patterned paper, I did some stitching, wrapped some hemp cord around, and tied on a Wild Cherry button. Then I popped up my camera on foam. The lens was stamped with Black Licorice Ink and both layers also popped up after I added a circle of bling. I thought Die-namics Sunshine looked a lot like a flash going off so I cut that out of patterned paper and stamped “CLICK” on a strip cut with my Die-namics LLD Accent It – Flags & Tags. That was popped up in two layers, as well, adding more dimension.  

And, here’s the inside with another sentiment from the set:
