A Little Fall Sketch

Good day! 

Back with one more card, which will be entered into the  Mod Squad Challenge, Tag It!,  Simon Says Monday Challenge, Falling For...... and the Sketch Challenge at MFT.

 

 

I used several of the dies from the MFT Blueprint #12 set, flowers, leaves and banner.  There is leaf image stamped behind the sentiment in a very light green, which you can't really see in the photo.  Both stamps are by Gina K Designs, Tropical Leaves and Falling For You.  I used lots of Kraft and this lovely Designer Paper by K & Company, Roam.   EK Success paper punch to make the tag which I added an eyelet and some rustic jute twine to.  A neutral ribbon to tie it all together.  lol

 

Fall has to be one of my most favorite times of the year, Spring is a close second, although Fall does have better hair days!  ;)

 

Thanks for popping in!

 

Enjoy!



Hodgkin's Lymphoma Violet Ribbon

As I was making this card I received some wonderful news.....my niece who was diagnosed with Hodgkin's Lymphoma, announced she was in COMPLETE REMISSION!!!  She never lost her courage or spirit and come the end of November (her last treatment!) she can wrap this chapter of her life in a pretty little bow and close the book!  AMEN!

Here is my card, which will be entered into the Challenge at Simon Says Wednesday, Water Colors, CASology, Splatter and a Stamp TV Challenge, Many Colors (a Stamp Out Cancer Challenge).    

 

I used water color pencils to color the stamped image, from the Strength And Hope set, by Gina K Designs.  Cut the image out using Spellbinders Classic and Scalloped Oval dies.  The background was created by putting craft paint on an old toothbrush and 'splattering' it all over the card stock....one of my most favorite techniques!  The card measures 4.25 x 4.25. 

 

I can't wait til she gets this card.....I don't even care if she burns it!  WHAHOO!!!

 

Thanks so much for joining me in this FANTASTIC news!!!

Embossing Times Two

Good afternoon!  We're experiencing some lovely Fall weather here in the North East, fingers crossed that it continues into (or even through!) November! 

Today's card is for the Challenge over at PTI, Dry Embossing Over Heat Embossing. 

Dawn has a fantastic little VIDEO to show you!

 

Using Versa Mark I stamped several sized flowers from the Ruby Reprise stamp set.  I picked out one color, one flower, stamped and heat embossed.  Blue, Yellow, and the Green leaves.  Adding the sentiment last.  Then I ran the decorated card stock through my CuttleBug de-bossing (not embossing!) the Swiss Dots onto the entire front.  Added some Liquid Pearls to the center of the larger flowers.  Lastly a bit of thin yellow ribbon.  A simple little card, that is bright and sunny. 

 

A fun little technique that packs a punch!  Try It!

 

Thanks for coming by, I hope you are enjoying your Fall.....wherever you are!

Transport It

Good Day!

Another Fall card for you today, which will be entered into the Challenge over at Simon Says Wednesday, Transport it!  Let me just say if someone wheeled this wheelbarrow full of sunflowers into my yard, I wouldn't hate it!  :)

 

The stamp sets are from Gina K Designs, Beyond Baskets and Harvest Of Wishes, 2 perfect sets for some Fall time fun!  I colored the wheelbarrow with Copic Markers and fussy cut it out.  Spellbinders Label Eight die used, which I sponged with green, a lighter green and a yellow ink.  The sunflowers were leftover from a previous card, Harvest Wishes.  This time I added a bit of Stickles to the flowers, some yellow, orange, and bronze for the centers.   A little ribbon tied up and 3 different colored Adhesive Rhinestones.  Swiss Dots Embossing Folder.

 

Hope you are all enjoying the Fall like I am!  Love It!  Change can be good!

 

Thank you as always, for coming by, appreciate you doing so!

Smooch

Hello Again!

Today's card will be entered into the Curtain Call Challenge, Smooch and the Simon Says Monday Challenge, Finishing Touch. 

 

There is something about Kraft card stock, you can dress it up, or dress it down.  Such a natural look!  I CASED this card from a book I have, Papercrafts, The Best Of Card Creations, it REALLY has a lot of inspiration, I have several of these books.  This particular one has over 500 photos of beautiful cards.

 

I used 2 stamp sets from Gina K Designs, Lots Of Lines and Simple Hearts.  Red gingham ribbon and red buttons for the accents.  The double heart was stamped on pink card stock and then colored with Copic Markers. 

 



 

Loving the use of this type of ribbon tab too!

 

May you find the inspiration you need.  And if you can't you should check out that book!

 

Thanks for popping by.

In The Pink

Hello! 

Today's card will be entered into these Challenges:

Mod Squad Blog, In The Pink For October

Simon Says Monday, Finishing Touch

Stamp TV, Critter Card



Lots of layers, lots of PINK!  I used the Scooter Diva stamp set from Stamp TV.   The sweet little images were just perfect for the inchies.  Lots of pink gingham ribbon too, I love making ribbon tabs, they make such a cute and easy little accent.  The Paper punch is by EK Success.  Adhesive pearls colored with Copic Markers.  Last but not least a pretty little pink heart shaped button tied with Baker's Twine.  Oh and of course a matching envelope. 

This card along with a box filled with pink baby clothes will be sent to my niece Leighanne who had a beautiful baby girl!  xoxo

Thanks so much for stopping by!

Spooky & Sketchy

Just a quick and easy card made using the Sketch from MFT.  I will also be entering this card into the Stamp TV Challenge, Critter Card and the Simon Says Monday Challenge, Finishing Touch.

 

 

A quick and easy card, using Designer Paper to create a simple background!  The stamp sets are Wicked  and The Giving Tree both from Gina K Designs. The bat was embossed using Marcasite embossing powder, which gives off a great sparkle and shine.  Dies are from My Favorite Things, BluePrint #12. 

 

Nothing more to say.  :)
