Card Sketch Tuesday #163

Happy Tuesday!

Here is sketch #163 which measures the normal A2 size.

Measurements are:
Card base = 4 1/4 x 5 1/2
1 = 5 1/4 x 4 (distressed/torn on right hand side)
2 = 2 3/8 x 3 3/8
3 = 2 3/8 x 1 3/8
Circles are your choice of embellishments


This little guy is from the new Serendipity Magalogue from The Angel Company that will be coming out on February 1st!

He's stamped in Memento tuxedo black ink and then colored with Copic Markers. The designer paper is from Making Memories that I had in my scraps pile for a while. I was pleasantly surprised when I turned over the paper and I could identify who made it!!!

I sponged on some Memento Summer Sky to the white card base first, set the extra large eyelets onto the plaid dp and then attached them together. The designer paper was torn on the right side and I decided to rough it up a bit more with a distress tool.

The sentiment is from another new set debuting in February as well. I really like how it went so well with this little guy - perfect for a masculine birthday card! So, what do you think?

Have a wonderful week and thanks for stopping by!

Warm Thank You!

Hello everyone! Here's a fun project that can really make a statement for someone special on your list!

I found the pattern at Nicole Heady's blog (Capture the moment) on this tri-fold tea bag holder with envelope and used all TAC supplies to make it. You can download the project free from her blog.


I used a bit of velcro to make sure that the envelope stayed closed.


Copic Markers were used to color the mug - and I tried real hard to match the colors in the designer paper.

Inside pictures as you open the tri-fold.

So, what do you think? Cute or what?




Supplies:

Paper - Angelee soar with it collection (includes tag)
Stamps - Coffee talk and sending a latte
Ribbon from TAC
Copic markers

Card Sketch Tuesday #162

Happy Tuesday everyone! I'm in San Diego in business meetings all this week, waiting to find out about the latest changes to the reorganization!

So with that being said how about something a little girly this week?

Measurements:
Card base = 4 1/4 x 5 1/2
Pink panel = 4 x 5 1/4
White strip = 1 3/4 x 5 1/2
Black panel = 2 x 3
Main stamped panel = 2 x 2 with a 1/16 border

Sorry about the picture being a little dark this week!


The pink cardstock was embossed with the swiss dots embossing folder. The frame and flower stamp is from the Floral Labels set from The Angel Company. The sentiment is also from TAC. I randomly stamped the flower on the white vertical panel and then colored them with Copic Markers in the following colors: V0000 Rose Quartz and R81 Rose Pink. White self adhesive pearls from kaisercraft were added to the center of all the flowers.

The satin ribbon started off white - I decided to match my flower color and used the R81 Rose Pink to color the ribbon. The Bow easy was used to tie that perfect little bow! So, what do you think?

Have a great week and thanks for stopping by!

Tea Bag Holder

Hello everyone! Here's a little tea bag holder I created. I found the pattern off of Splitcoast stampers.

The green cardstock is from Bazzill and the designer paper is from The Angel Company, called Miss Moxie. The tag on the front is also included in the paper collection. The sentiment is from the TAC stamp set - Sending a latte. The orange flowers on the white panel are stamped in versamagic mango madness and thatched straw and are from the TAC hostess set called Enjoy nature. I added a antiqued copper extra large eyelet to the top of the tag before adding the ribbon.

Another tag from the paper pack is stamped with a sentiment from same hostess set and taped on the inside of the holder. I inserted my favorite Tazo Zen tea! I drink this green tea by the buckets!

Thanks for stopping by and have a great weekend!


All supplies are from The Angel Company

January Stamp of the Month samples

Hello everyone! I was asked once again to design some card samples around the Stamp of the Month for January. Here is what the set looks like: Cost is $9.75 when you purchase $30.00 in merchandise.


Here are some of the samples I made.

Acetate card using the square nestabilities to cut out the shapes. Sentiment is from the Hostess set Enjoy Nature. Tree is stamped in versamagic tea leaves and then embossed with clear embossing powder. Ribbon is colored with a Copic marker to match the cardstock.

The heart tree and the sentiment is stamped in versamark onto vellum and then embossed with gold. The vellum is attached with eyelets and ribbon. Paper is from the Amberley Grace soar with it collection. The sentiment is from Rejoicing with you. Doesn't this make a wonderful wedding card?

This next one is a quick, clean and simple card. Tree stamped in Versamagic tea leaves and embossed in clear. Sentiment is stamped in Palette Noir and embossed. The sentiment is from the Hostess set Enjoy Nature. Black rhinestones are added to the corners where the scored lines meet. Background green paper is from TAC.

This tree was done using the Marker and Huff method of stamping. Paper is from the Amberley Grace Soar with it collection. The edges of the paper are inked up with Palette Burnt Umber and the sentiment is also stamped in it too! Six antique copper brads are added for some interest.


And this one is done with versamark and clear embossing powder. I like that it's so subtle on the green paper. These papers are from the Willoughby Soar with it collection. The sentiment is from the set Life Thoughts.

There is one other card that I haven't shown you and it is on The Angel Companies blog under promotions>stamp of the month. Or you can just click here. Usually you are able to click on my name and the samples come up, but they haven't updated the site as of yet. This is a great little set that has a lot of possibilities, just like I've hopefully shown you!

Thanks for stopping by and have a fantastic day!

Card Sketch Tuesday #161

Hello everyone! Here is this Tuesday's card sketch. Measurements are below.

Card base is the normal A2 size. Turquoise panel is 4 3/4 x 3 1/2, Sentiment panel is 3 1/2 x 2 1/2 (rectangle deckled nestability) main image panel is 2 1/2 x 2.


I used the weathered background stamp (retired) from The Angel Company on the white card base. I lightly inked it up with Aqua ink from Colorbox so that it would be subtle.

The turquoise paper is from DCWV and it's ran through the new Victorian cuttlebug embossing folder. I think it goes really well with the design that is in the dragonflies wings. The dragonfly is stamped in Versamagic Turquoise Gem chalk ink. The sentiment is stamped in Memento tuxedo black ink after I cut out the deckled rectangle first.

The turquoise grosgrain ribbon started out white - but with the use of a Copic marker, it now closely matches! I found some skinny satin ribbon in my stash and added it on top! I did use some foam tape to attach the dragonfly panel, since it had to fit over the bulky ribbon.

All stamps are from The Angel Company.

Thanks for stopping by and have a great week! I'll be back later to show you some samples of January's Stamp Of The Month from The Angel Company.

Under the weather?

Happy New Year everyone!

Here's a card I did for the SCS card sketch challenge!

The stamp is from Double D stamps from Victorine Originals. I colored it with Copic Markers and then added some sparkle to the rain drops and lightening with the stardust pen from Sakura.

The striped paper is from Making Memories and the yellow cardstock is from American Crafts. I added a bit of paper piercing in the lower right hand corner of the main image - I just felt it needed to be a bit more balanced. Light yellow grosgrain ribbon is attached over the raw edges and I decided to add some black rhinestones from Kaisercraft to anchor it all down.

It's a very clean looking card that could be given to guy - well maybe not. What do you think?
