My card features the Dainty Daisies stamp set. I stamped the image and used my Scan 'n' Cut to cut it out, but there is a coordinating die if you prefer. I colored the daisies yellow with blue centers. This is a bit fantastical, but there are actually blue daisies with yellow centers. Aren't they amazing!
After coloring the daisies, I cut out the stitched panel using the Basic Frames die set. I lightly distressed the panel with Mustard Seed Distress Oxide ink and stamped the sentiment. I added foam tape and adhered the daisises. Then I added foam tape to the panel. I added some jute twine and tied a bow.
On the cardbase, I added the green zigzag Washi tape and adhered the panel. A fun CAS-like card packed with spring freshness! Inspired? I can't wait to see what you create using the challenge colors!

Try A Sketch Tuesday Challenge Cards--Coffee themed
I've been trying to use my stash of paper pads as well as some older stamp sets. I've decided that if I don't use them, I need to get rid of them. I've also been trying to make sets of 4 cards. I think they would make great gifts for neighbors and friends.
My cards showcase the Crazy for Coffee paper pad by Your Next Stamp. The fun coffee images are from The Rabbit Hole Designs. I used dies from Newton's Nook Designs: Frames & Tags and Circle Frames die sets. The sentiment is from the Perk Up stamp set by The Greeting Farm.
I stamped the images and colored with Copic markers. I then fussy cut the images. Then I cut the vertical striped and adhered to the brown card stock. I placed the zig-zag frame die on the paper and cut the base frame. I then cut the stitched circle using a NND die. I stamped the sentiment on the circle. Then I added the circle on the brown base. I placed the critter on the frame using 3D tape. At last, I adhered everything to the white card base.
I used the sketch by Try a Sketch On Tuesday Challenge.

For my cards, I used the newly released A2 Card Layout die set and used the die four times-green, red, yellow, and blue--polka dotted papers from the Bright Basics paper pad. I then pulled out the rectangular pieces and arranged them vertically on each card base. For first card, I used the Newton's Birthday Trio stamp set. I colored the image with Copic markers. My second card features the Newton's Bright Birthday stamp set. By using the panels from the die, you can easily make multiple cards!

I created a square card base using the Frames Squared die set with papers from the Spring Blooms paper pad. I added a circlular panel using papers from the same paper pad and the Circle Frames die set. I colored the sweet kitty from the Newton's Peeps stamp set using Copic markers. I stamped the sentiment on a banner that was die cut using the Frames & Flags die set.

Here's another masculine card for the current The Male Room challenge.
Like my last card, this card has a BBQ theme. I used paper by Taylored Expressions Playful Patterns--Savory. I cut the circle using Newton's Nook Designs Circle Frames die set. The cute burger-flippin' bear and BBQ is from Newton's Nook Designs retired Winston's BBQ stamp set.
