I made 3 cards this week. I love going to my friend Angela's... she always gives us great ideas. And yet she puts out a nice range of stuff so that we can change whatever we want. My first card is a great example of that.
She made this card using the new balloon animal set from Stampin' Up. As much as her card was cute - and she had a lot of different samples of balloon animals to choose from (my friend did a fish, one person did a penguin, one did a giraffe, and so on) - I just wasn't feeling it. I have just never been all that enamored by balloon animals, and looking at the set, I just didn't trust that I'd have success with it. So I went in a completely different direction and played with the Sprinkles of Life set.
I'm entering it in the following challenge:
Casology - Week 179 Simple
Casology - Week 179 Simple
The next card I have is also for a challenge.
I don't think I'm used to blending Stampin' Up inks anymore since I fell in love with Distress Inks. The top half of my rainbow isn't as well blended as I'd like.
My last card is also for a challenge. This blog is a new one for me; I found it by accident through someone else I follow.
I love this stamp set. I don't think I'm ultimately going to buy it, though. Ang owns it, and there are too many sentiments I won't use. I've ordered the embossing folder. I have other masculine sets that will work really well with it.

Lovely set of cards. I really like the world card - nicely done. Thanks so much for playing along with our Anything Goes challenge at The Male Room!
Isn't it nice to have a stampin' BFF to share with! Love your card. Thanks for joining us at the Male Room in 2016!
Gorgeous cards! I get what you mean about balloon animals and I am sure you are much happier with your card as you went in a different direction.
Great job on all your cards. It's good that you got to see the balloon animals stamp set to see it just wasn't for you. Love what you did instead. Happy New Year to you and yours.
Three great cards, Tania! I love them all! I also love making masculine cards so I am going over to check out the Male Room Challenge! Thanks for the link!
Thanks for sharing your beautiful card at Casology!
Great card! Thank you so much for playing with us this week at CASology.
Wow, you've been busy! I think I'm going to have to check out this challenge.
Great cards! I love your cards- it would be tempting to 'need' these sets if I played with them! My SU demo moved, and I have not gone to a workshop at another (I know a few demos)..... I am trying not to spend $$$ as I have too many sets unused I love your cards- it would be tempting to
I love the ice cream card. I am tempted to but that dsp!
Fabulous cards!!!
Love that Sale-A-Bration stamp set - Sky's the Limit. I understand what you mean about blending... for some reason I can't blend SU inks half as well as I can the distress inks...
I really like the ice cream card!! I would have never come up with that!
Looks like you've been shopping the Stampin' Up catalog! Me, too! I'm expecting my goodies soon and you've inspired me with these cards.
