CAS cards

Hello everyone!

I can't believe that August is here already! Wow, summer is almost gone!

Here are two quick cards I'd like to share with you. This first one is done using TAC stamps.

The green designer paper is from Basic Grey and the blue carstock is from Bazzill. I used a self adhesive pearls from Kaisercraft for the centers of the flowers. The border punch is from EK success. Nothing like a Clean and Simple card to send off to someone to brighten their day!


I really love this bear, full bodied or just his head and you can find him at The Digi Shack! Anyway, colored with Copic's and cut out using the labels 5 die. Kraft, brown cardstock used and the designer paper is from DCWV. I used a Tim Holtz edge die and then sponged some vintage photo distress ink around it. The "hello" is from PTI.

Thanks for dropping by and have a great weekend!

All the coffee...

Here's a sneak peak from The Digi Shack that will be available on August 7th.

Image is from Brian Lock and colored with Copic Markers. The sentiment is from The Angel Company!

I used the deckled rectangle nestabilities to cut out both the image and sentiment, then went back and sponged on some vintage photo distress ink with a dauber. I did emboss first and left them both in the die to get he sponged effect.

Kraft cardstock is the base of the card and the designer pink paper is from Paper Pizazz. Blue cardstock is from American Crafts. Of course I had to add some bling - amber colored rhinestones from Kaisercraft! So, what do you think?

Again, TDS will be hosting Digi Day over at SNR on August 7th from 6 -8 PM EST.. By the way, TDS has found a cool new site - CDAC and you can find the link here.

Have a great weekend!

Daisies

Hi everyone! Playing around with a new stamp set from The Angel Company!

Back ground on the kraft cardstock was done using the bigger daisy stamped in Palette Fresh Snow. Once that dried I added a bit of yellow (Versamagic thatched straw) to the centers using a dauber.

Labels 4 was used to cut out the daisy and then I sponged on some more thatched straw ink around the outside. The center of the flower is colored with Copic's. The sentiment is stamped in Memento and then layered with black cardstock.

All in all, just a quick card for you today! What do you think?

TDS Wednesday Sketch Challenge

Hello everyone! Here's this weeks challenge over at The Digi Shack!

Here's my take on it!

Image is from Brian Lock and can be found over at TDS. She's colored or shall I say highlighted with Copic markers.

The designer paper is from a DCWV mat stack that I've had in my stash forever! The pinks went well with how the bear is colored. I added the required buttons, which are from American Crafts and they so happen to match the DP. Lucky!!!

Now for the sentiment - pun is intended! I was looking through all my stamps trying to come up with something that would fit this card. Well, what do I find in my collection of Studio G (Micheal's) $1 stamps, but this sentiment! Done!

Doesn't this make a great baby card? Thanks for stopping by and let me know what you think! Don't forget to play along with the sketch challenge - it doesn't have to be done with a TDS image, either!

The Digi Shack will be releasing some new images on Saturday, August 7th over at SNR. I'll be show casing a few sneak peaks real soon!

White on White

Hello all! I decided to play around a bit and challenged myself to do a white on white card. I love how they look with the texture and all....well, here's what I came up with.

This came together quicker than I thought it would. and no coloring what so ever! LOL! So, what do you think?


Supplies:
Sentiment is from Papertrey Ink.
CB embossing folders - polka dots, textile
PTI label die
Circle nestability
Scalloped cookie cutter die by Quickutz
Satin ribbon
Prima flower
Pearls from Kaisercraft

Have a great day and thanks for stopping in.

Go on forever!

Hello everyone. Here's a quick wedding card that I put together using a digital image. I colored it with Copic Markers.

The sentiment is from My cute stamps that I found in a local stamp store somewhere. I think the sentiment is so fresh and different that I just had to buy the set.

I paired the light green with a dark blue to match the colors in the designer paper (Basic Grey) and it also had some of the pink that's in the sweet peas.

Labels 4 was used to cut out the sweet peas and then I layered it onto the dark blue using a labels 8 die. The designer paper was also cut out using that die. I added a bit of Palette Jardin Moss ink around the edges using a dauber.

What do you think? Thanks for stopping by!

Hello!

I've a couple of new cards to show you today! This first one is from a new stamp set from The Angel Company called "Oh no she didn't".

She's colored with Copic markers and it went with one of the Dare to get dirty challenges happening right now over at SCS. The challenge was to use a neutral color, red, green and yellow. If you look real closely or click on the picture you can see that I also added some white polka dots to her skirt with a white gel pen.

The new polka dot embossing folder from Provo Craft was used to emboss the red cardstock. It sorta matches the spots and dots on her umbrella! Sentiment is from tag tidbits from TAC.


This next one is one of the new images from Marlene Shaw over at The Digi Shack.

Grass was stamped using a versamark pad on the green cardstock. Stamp is Inspired by Nature from SU. Lawn mower dude is colored with Copics. Great image for a masculine birthday card or father's day card!!!

It's funny, my DH would NEVER cut the lawn in his Adidas slides - no way - no how! He has "special" grass cutting tennis shoes that are permanently stained green specifically for cutting the lawn! Just cracks me up! And they think we're strange for the many different shoes we have for different occasions.....They're just as bad, right?

Have a great weekend!
