Mojo Monday - Winter Wishes

Hi everyone! I had some time tonight to get busy with this weeks Mojo Monday Sketch. Here it is - I kept it simple and deleted a few things.

Sentiment stamp is from Verve. Designer paper is from Die Cuts With a View - linen closet. I like the non-traditional colors for this winter card. 

Snowflake punch is from EK Success and I punched it out using printer paper, then sprayed with Elmer's spray adhesive and dusted it with glitter. Now that I finally got all the glue off my fingers I can post it!

CAS get well

Hi there! I'm getting an early start on the set of get well cards that I give to my Dad's girlfriend every Christmas. Here's one of them!

Stamps are from Lawn Fawn. I paper pieced the tissue box and colored the tissue a little bit using gray copic's. Each of the stamps from this get well set has a smiley face in it, which I did not like. So, I got out the Xacto knife and did a little surgery.

Rectangle nestability used to emboss the outline that the tissue box goes into. The olive green cardstock is from Gina K and the yellow is from Bazzill.

One down, several more to go! Thanks for stopping by!

Better Halloween card

Hi again and Happy Halloween! I think this card turned out a lot better!

Stamp is from TAC and colored with Copic's.  The really cool black designer paper was purchased from Michaels several years ago and I've hoarded pieces of it just to use at Halloween. The orange designer paper is also from Michaels and I have no idea who made it.

Black satin ribbon is tied between the two pieces of designer paper and the bow was made using the Bow Easy. 

I hope your Halloween is fun, safe and all your little ghost and gobblins don't OD on all the candy!

Thanks for stopping in!

Wild Halloween card

Hi all! Here's a Halloween card I did using one of the Viva La Verve sketches. I'll warn you now, it pretty bright and wild with all the patterned paper I used.

Trick or Treat stamp is a very old one from TAC. It's colored with Copic markers and then cut out using an oval nestie. Designer paper is from K&Company that I picked up a couple of years ago.  Orange and lime green cardstock is from DCWV.

This is not one of my favorite Halloween cards that I've made over the years. I think if I had to do it over I'd replace the striped DP for a solid color, maybe orange. What do you think?

PTI Blog Hop

Hi everyone! I decided to play along in this month's PTI Blog Hop. This month we were challenged to step out of the box and use non-traditional colors for a Holiday project. Here is the color combo I chose to work with. 

Stamps are from the set called Tremendous treats. I used the colors outlined above for all the cardstock on this card. I got out my prisma color pencils to color the bird. The pine stamp in the back ground is from Great Impressions and is stamped in Versamark. I added a bit of sparkle using a stardust pen to simulate a little snow. Dies used: Scalloped border from Quickutz, nesties, PTI and the stitched border punch from Fiskars.

I think this card could so pass for a traditional color scheme. What do you think?  Thanks for stopping by and I appreciate any and all feedback!

Just because

Hello! I'm in that fall mood with all the rain and wonderful colors and it's inspired me to create this card.

Leaf stamps are from TAC and colored with Copic markers. Summer sky blue ink from Memento is also sponged onto the background to soften the white space. Sentiment is from Verve, as is the
sketch.

Yellow and dark brown cardstock is from Bazzilla and the kraft is from Papertrey.  Brown rhinestones are from Kaisercraft. Spellbinders circle nesties used to create the sentiment panel.

CAS hearts

Hi everyone! Going Clean and Simple today!

Stamps are from Verve and the hearts are colored with Copics. Red grosgrain ribbon used to tie the knot. The main image is popped up using foam tape to give it a bit of dimension.

Have a wonderful weekend!
