Happy birthday to you

Hello. I've been out of town on business this last week and had no time to destress by stamping and making a card. However, as soon as I got home and saw this super cute CAS sketch over at Freshly Made Sketches, I got busy.

Sentiment is from My Favorite Things and the washi tape is from Altenew called painted fantasy. It's one of the larger rolls of tape. It worked well with this sketch, as I just covered some cardstock with it then cut it out using a circle die.

Sparkle pink cardstock is from Hero Arts. I used the quilted dot embossing folder from Darice on the white panel behind the circle.

Thanks for stopping by.

Praying for you

Hello! Playing in this weeks Freshly Made Sketch challenge.

Leaf die is from Simon Says Stamp as is the small sentiment. Quilted embossing folder is from Darice. Added the gingham ribbon to hide the stems of the leaves. Love this CAS quick card. 

Thanks for dropping by.

Tic-Tac-Toe challenge

It’s time for another challenge over at The House That Stamps Built. This week we were challenged to follow the tic tac toe board. Here is what I did with it.

I used the paw print stamp from RI to make that button. I just stamped it, glued the clear button over the top of it using glossy accents and then trimmed it out once dry.

Embossing folder is from Darice. Copic's used to color that sweet little dog!

Just because

Hi all. Here's a card I created with the color combo listed below from The Paper Players.

I don't have these exact colors but used what I had on hand in my ink stash. Hero Arts cheese puff and Memories Alligator will have to do.

Leaf stamp is a very old one from Darice.

Sentiment is from Concord & 9th. I added some self adhesive black pearls from Queen & Co. below the sentiment to add additional interest.

Card base is black cardstock and I kept this one pretty clean and simple this time around. Thanks for stopping by!

Bon Voyage

Hey everyone. Playing in a few challenges today.

I started off with the sketch over at Always Playing With Paper.  Just Us Girls challenge is a word week and the word is "travel" and lastly, The Paper Players wants a circle this time around.

Stamps are from Hero Arts - it was one of their monthly kits a while back. The map at the bottom is actually an old stamp from Darice, not HA.

I did a bit of die cut inlay (ala' Jennifer McGuire) with the small dies that came in the kit.

Circle stitched die is from Lil Inkers and the black is a nestie. 

That's it for now - thanks for stopping in.

Googly eyes

Hello and Happy Friday! Here is my take on this weeks Freshly Made Sketch.

I just picked up this googly eye embossing folder from Darice and just had to use it. Worked well for this sketch and looks great paired with the bat from Paper Smooches.

The bat is colored with prisma colored pencils and blend with OMS. The designer paper is from The Pumpkin Patch from DCWV that I believe is from a couple of years ago. I've had it in my Halloween stash for a while.

Added some self adhesive googly eyes down in the right hand corner to compliment all the other "eye" and we're done.

It's been so hot this summer that I'm now looking forward to the fall and the cooler weather! Hence the Halloween card.

ETA: forgot to enter this in to the anything goes challenges over at SSS and WIW.

Thanks for stopping in!

Wishing you the best

Good morning! I got some time to play around yesterday and came up with this for two challenges.

I used the sketch over at Sweet Sunday and paired it with the color challenge over at Sunday Stamps. I tried to keep this clean and simple with the soft color combo below.

I had the flower (PTI) stamped up, watercolored with Faber Castel gelatos and it was sitting on my desk just waiting to be made into a card. I fussy cut it out and added a bit of clear wink of stella sparkle to the flower center. Then just popped it up onto the card with foam tape.

I used the daisy embossing folder from Darice to add a bit of texture to the panel right behind the flower. Colored cardstock is from HOTP. 

Sentiment is from Technique Tuesday.

Thanks for stopping by!

Vellum thank you

Hi everyone! Here is my take on the Addicted to CAS challenge using vellum.

The embossing folder is from Darice that I just picked up at Ben Franklin's. Yellow chalk is added to the center of the flowers to make it pop more. This is cut down to 4 x 5.25 so that I could fit it onto a normal A2 card base.

The vellum is cut using one of the tag dies from Papertrey, Ink. The sentiment comes from Wplus9 and it is heat embossed using clear embossing powder over Versafine black ink.

Added the yellow tag topper, some skinny black satin ribbon and two black pearls (to hide the adhesive) and we're done!

Pretty quick, clean and simple thank you card!

Thanks for stopping in!

Sun?

In honor of all the beautiful sun we've been having here in Washington, I thought I'd post a sunflower for the occasion!

I cut out the flower and leaves from the tattered floral die by Tim Holtz using some canvas. I then used some distress dyes to color them up. After they dried, I used more distress inks to grunge them up a bit. The brown button for the center of the flower comes from American Crafts.

Embossing folder is from Darice and the cardstock is sugar cookie from Bazzill. I added the yellow polka dot designer paper since the dots match all of them in the embossing folder. Everything is layered in brown and a length of brown satin ribbon is run down the middle.

Thanks for stopping by! I'm headed out to enjoy the Vitamin D!
