Thurs. 7-26-2018 Christmas in July

I made this card yesterday for the Christmas in July challenge and also for
 SC707 sketch from The MOD Squad. 

I used DP for the background and the negative die cuts for the evergreens. The sentiment is gold EP on the circle die cut.

Have you started your Holiday cards yet?

7.23.2018 CAS491 Plaid

Here is the card I made for the CAS491 challenge at Split Coast   The image is a Gina K "Sophie Pig" by Beth Silaika.  I had quite a bit of fun making this square card, which was to use Plaid.  I printed out the plaid base a while ago and saved it.  So glad I did! The ribbon was added to ground the sentiment.

Mon. 7-16-2018 CAS490

The challenge at Splitcoast called CAS490, was to use a die to emboss  on a card, and not an embossing folder.  I used an oval and then added my image in the center that was colored with Copics and popped up with dimensionals on the scalloped oval.  

07.14.2018 She is Strong

I used Melanie' s newest stamp set from Gina K. Designs.  It is called "This Girl is".  What a fun set and it so reminds me of the paper dolls I played with as a little girl.
Thank you for taking a peek at my card.

Thurs. July 12, 2018 Cheers for Music

The Treble Clef is a die that I cut and the added the little heart notes that I punched out and colored with a Copic marker.    I put them on the card where I drew the sheet music! 

I think this design is sure to make you smile.  Agree?

7-9-2018 High School Reunion

I went St. Patrick Academy and  am having a get together with a few girlfriend classmates on Saturday, so I only thought it perfect to use "This Girl Is" stamp set by Melanie.  I think it is perfect for the occasion, right? Our school colors were green and gold, and I matched her dress to that.

If you get this stamp set, you will have so much fun creating with it.  Let me hear what you think!

7.8.2018 New GKD Stamp Set

This is the 1st card I made with my new stamp set from Gina K., designed by Melanie Muenchinger.

Please drop me a comment and letting me know what you think. Thank you!

6.20.2018 SplitCoast Coffee and Summer colors

6-5-2018 MM62018 Challenge

The challenge was "gray" and I did just that, right?   I have always liked cards like this because I find them so soothing and hope the recipient will also. This is for MM62018 at StampTV.

Sat. Jun. 2, 2018 Love these colors

I was motivated to make another card, and finished it up so I could now post it. Lots of  3 D texture going on here, and the plaid paper is the one I made using Gina's instructions. Actually was easier than I thought it would be and I am pleased with the final result!

I sure hope you are having a great weekend.  Weather here in Wisconsin has been fabulous. So nice not to run the A/C or the furnace.  That leaves me more $ to buy stamps and card stock- hahaha

Fri 6-1-2018 ....and so June starts!

 


I was playing in my craft room today and enjoying this first day of June.  A little cool, but very sunny outside today! 

Tues. 5.29.2018 Feel Better

I was playing in my craft room yesterday and decided to create a Feel Better card, using this floral stamp from long ago and after fussy cutting them I put them on a piece of card stock that I ran through a Crackle embossing folder from Darice .  I love all the texture it adds to the background. The flowers were colored with a variety of Copic markers.

5.28.2018 F4A431 and CAS471 Challenges

Today is Memorial Day - the sun is shining and I was so motivated to make this card!
This card fulfills the need of the following two challenges.  The first is F4A431 to use red and yellow- the colors of mustard and ketchup. It also works for the clean and simple card using a color base. CAS471 at Splitcoast Stampers. 

I would appreciate you letting me know what you think about this one!

Sun. May 27, 2018 One Layer Card #372

Here is the card I made for the One Layer Challenge #372, at Less is More.   This was very different for me to make, since layers and 3D cards are my usual go to style.  I have to admit, that this was a lot of fun to make! 

The flowers and leaves are from Gina K Design's "Made with Love" stamp set from a couple of years ago. I sponged that around that strip of white space, to make sure that the sentiment would really show up.
