Thank you - TSOT#693

Hi and welcome back to another sketch challenge over at Try a Sketch on Tuesday.

I used a stencil as the main focus for this card.  Eucalyptus and juniper ink from Simon Says Stamp was ink blended through the stencil.  The sentiment is from My favorite Things.  

The circle charms are made using jump rings, glossy accents and designer paper. So much fun to make and use as dimensional interest on cards.

Thanks for stopping by.

Holiday tag cards

Hello. I'm adding a couple of holiday tag cards to the mix for the 2025 fall/winter coffee lovers blog hop.

Stamps and dies are from Hero Arts.  The gingham designer paper is from My Favorite Things.  The baker's twine and the red grosgrain ribbon is from PTI.

Thanks for stopping by.

with sympathy

Hi everyone. I decided to try my hand at the Retro Rubber sketch challenge before the time ran out.

The main panels are stamped using an old wood mounted stamp from Memory Box called spring branch. It must be at least 10+ years old. To color it, I used Tombow markers and huffed on it to get a good impression before cutting it down into squares.

Sentiment is a new one from My Favorite Things. Since this is a sympathy card, I kept it clean and simple.

Thanks for stopping by!

Happy birthday to you - TSOT644

Hello and welcome to another sketch challenge at Try a Sketch on Tuesdays.  Here is the card I made and the sketch for you to use. 

I used my Canon printer to print the music notes onto a piece of rice paper. Quite frankly, very surprised it worked, and so well. Then I added a bit of distress antique linen ink over it to give it an aged look.  The birthday sentiment is from Poppy stamps and it's stamped in hickory smoke archival ink. I used gray cardstock in two shades to match the music sheet colors on the panel in the sketch.

Happy Christmas

Hi all. Playing in this weeks Freshly Made Sketch #504 today.  Went a little rustic on this slimline Christmas card.

I made an online purchase from a stamp company and they wrapped up my purchase in this gingham paper. It was actually a bag, but I cut it apart and used it on this cad. Sentiment is from Impress cards and crafts and I embossed it in Ranger liquid platinum embossing powder. Most of the dies used for the greenery are from Echo Park/Carta Bella. Doodlebug designs made the dark red candy dots that I used for the holly berries.

Thanks for stopping by.

Wishing you

Hi everyone. It's time for another challenge over at The House That Stamps Built. This week our challenge is anything goes with patterned paper and a stamped image. I cheated and used a sentiment. 

You see, I've had this sentiment stamped up and cut out in my stash forever and really wanted to use it. It worked perfectly with this wonderful designer paper from Piatek Trynastego, called Hello Beautiful by Marta Piekarczyk. It is made in Poland and I got this from a LSS online.

Happy Birthday - shapes

Hello. Playing in the Addicted to CAS shapes challenge today.

I used the Simon Says Stamp slimline border stencil to create the green border. Rubbernecker fuse ink in moss and clover used here. I even cut a few out and popped them up using foam squares for added interest and dimension. 

Thanks for stopping by.

Happy Holidays

Hello. Playing in the Simon Says Stamp Monday challenge of Happy Holidays today.  I used a bunch of die cuts from various companies to create this. 

The joyful pine branch is from Carta Bella, as is long leaf, which is called holiday branches. Small pine is from Memory Box. I cannot remember who the poinsettia die is from, I did a search and came up empty from all of the stores I usually purchase from. Which means that it's probably retired now. 

I cut it out of Neenah solar white 110 lb cardstock and used distress oxide picked raspberry with a blending brush to color the centers. I also spritzed it with shimmer spritz so it's sparkly all over. Added some dew drops for interest and called it good. 

Sentiment is from the tiny words Christmas set from Simon.

Thanks for stopping by. 

Sending you a big hug

Hi there. Playing in the fall color board challenge over at Sunday Stamps today.

Leaf is die cut and blended with Oxide distress inks. The die is from Simon Says Stamp. I also did an impression with it on the white cardstock, then layered on the colored one for a clean and simple look.  Sentiment is from Reverse Confetti. The summer sunrise cardstock is from PTI and the brown is from MFT. 

Have a great day.

Always in our thoughts

Hello. Playing in the Freshly Made Sketch #439 today. Decided to try my hand at a slim line card. Boy these buggers are hard to photograph! 

I used rustic cream cardstock from PTI and the slim line dies from Pink Fresh Studio. The leaf stamp is from A*Muse Studio and the sentiment is from Avery Elle.  To fill up some of the space, I stamped the leaf in versamark and heat embossed it in clear embossing powder. The green ink is Clover from Rubbernecker.
