Get well soon

Hello. I finally got my new Paperartsy set designed by Alison Bomber and was playing around with it and a new stencil from Studio Light and came up with this.

I used walnut distress ink with the stencil, then stamped the tallest grass stamp over it.  Get well sentiment is from My Favorite Things. 

I'm entering this into the following challenges.

Simply Clean & Simple - nature

CAS on Friday - get well

Celebrate

Hello. I decided to play along with the sketch over at The Paper Players today.  Here is what I created with it.

I used some digital images for the background panel and tag.  The tag die is from Simon Says Stamp. I used a Copic marker on white satin ribbon to match the colors in the paper.  I used a blue scrap of paper from craft consortium for the middle part.  And the celebrate sentiment stamp is from Tim Holtz.  I also got out my crop-a-dial and set an eyelet into the tag.

To those of you in the US, Happy Independence Day - this year is a big one.  Stay safe and enjoy the festivities with family and friends.

Thanks for stopping by.

I love you more than.... TSOT698

Grill master

Hello. I'm playing in several Masculine theme challenges today.

Nothing like an apron full of Grill utensils to wish a guy a Happy Birthday.  Stamps and dies are from Honey Bee Stamps, except for the Happy Birthday - which is from Jaded Blossom.  Plaid designer paper is from Papertrey, Ink. 

I made a hinge to connect two aprons together for this card.

From me to you

Hello. I'm playing in the Freshly Made Sketch challenge today with some new dies and stamps from Gummiapan.

The heart tag and the notebook border are new as is the type background stamp.  I used it on the smaller heart dies (PTI) as well, using antique linen oxide ink. You'll have to enlarge the photo to see that.  The sentiment stamps on the heart tag are from The Stamp Market and the xoxo is from Whimsy stamps.  

I used walnut stain distress ink on the edges of the type panel and added the small bow to the tag and called this done.

By the way, Color Me Nordic is a US based online store for Gummiapan dies, stamps and they're also carrying Craft Addiction UK dies too.  

Thanks for stopping by.

With Sympathy

Hello. I recently came across this watercolor panel in my scrap pile and decided to turn it into a card.

Sentiment is from My Favorite Things.  I know that I used Tombow markers on the stamp and then added splatter to finish it off.  The green dot designer paper is an old piece from lasting impressions that I've had in my stash forever.  My card base is slightly darker than my watercolor paper, but decided to go for it anyway! 

Adding this into the sympathy challenge over at CAS on Sunday.

Happy Birthday

Hello. Playing in this week's Freshly Made Sketch with the following card.  I'm a bit late to the mix but found a tag in my stash of junk journal stuff that worked really well for this sketch.  Of course, I had to cut it down to fit on a card front, but happy with it, nevertheless.

The tag itself is made from a paper towel roll.  The designer paper I believe is actually rice paper. I did dig around in my stash to see if I could find it, but of course I was not successful.   

The sentiment is from Altenew's one go solid sentiment press plate.  Both the tag and the sentiment are popped up using foam tape. 

Lastly, the addition on the top right of the tag is a skin I created using stencil butter that is adhered to a silicone mat that had wonderful texture to it.  After it dried, it peeled right off and I glued it onto the tag. 

Ribbon colored with Copic markers for the top of the tag. 

Thanks for stopping by.

Hello - SSC380

Hello and welcome back to another challenge over at Sunday Stamps.  It's anything goes with the sketch below! 

I went with a ladybug theme.  Designer paper is from Echo Park and I believe the washi tape is as well.  The hello die is from CZ Designs.

The little ladybug in the center of the O is an old die from Memory Box.  Here is a photo of the washi tape inside of the card.  

Hope you join us over at Sunday Stamps for this challenge.  Thanks for stopping in.

So Happy Together - TSOT688

Hello and welcome back to another sketch challenge over at Try a Sketch on Tuesday.  This one is a fun Valentines Day sketch or switch it up!

I used a heart die from Pink and Main and stamped on it using the same swirl stamp from inkadinkado as in the background.  The sentiment is from Technique Tuesday.

You can link up here.  Hope to see you over there!

You're a true inspiration

Hi! I'm playing in the Freshly Made Challenge paired with the color challenge over at Just add Ink.

The butterfly die is from Memory Box (it's an old one). I used the color inspiration below to ink blend Simon says stamp ink on the solid layer of the butterfly.  The designer paper is an old one from Bazzill basics, which happened to match the old cuttlebug daisy embossing folder.  The only new supply on this card is the sentiment, which is a press plate from Altenew. 

Entering this into SSS anything goes challenge today too!  Thanks for stopping by!

Happy Anniversary - SSC378

Hello and welcome back to another challenge over at Sunday Stamps. We have a photo prompt this time.

The heart die is from Echo Park.  It's all one die and can be used so many different ways. Used up a bit of cardstock scraps on it too! The sentiment is from Honey Bee Stamps. 

Thanks for stopping by.

Just a note

Hello. I'm playing in the Freshly Made Sketch challenge today with this card.

The tag die is from Brass and Bliss which I used it to cut out a book page.  The stencil is from Tim Holtz, it's the mini one #THMS070.  I used it with texture paste on the card base and the tag, then also used it to emboss the horizontal panel behind the tag. The ribbon on the tag was colored using the BG7.3 marker from Olo, which matched fairly well.  The distress spray ink on the tag is stormy sky. 

Thanks for stopping by.

Thank you - SSC377
