Friday Mash Up on a Tuesday

Hi All,
I wanted to share a card I designed the other day based off of the Friday Mash Up's great sketch challenge:

This week's Mashup Challenge is:

• Create a project using the "Sketch". 
• Create a project using a "surprise element, something you wouldn't expect to see on a card/or an unexpected embellishment". 
• or Mash it Up! and create a project "using the Sketch and a unexpected Embellishment".

I decided to just stick with the sketch:

 

I used the Sweet Taffy Dp as I needed something cheery with the dreary weather! I also used the Bitty Banners stamp set and framelits for the sentiment. A vintage clear button and I was done! Love it! Thanks for stopping by!

Twins Anyone??

Hi All
I wanted to share a  set of cards that I made for some friends who are expecting twins! I am in love with Stampin Up's Something for Baby stamp set and the coordinating Babys First framelits! They make these types of cards easy to create! Here is what I created:

 

I used a base of Pool Party for one and Pistachio Pudding for the other. On the Pool Party card I hope you notice the two blue onesies as my friend is having two boys while on the other I have a blue and pink onesies as, you guessed it my other friend is expecting a boy and girl. I used the Sweet Sorbet DP for the center and popped up the sentiment on dimensionals. They were a lot of fun to make!

Thanks for stopping by!

Love a good sketch!

Morning All,
Well in keeping with most of my Friday night's I did a bit of laundry and clean up but I also crafted a little. I am trying to pad my "stash" of "Thank You" cards, as I still have quite a few to send out. So I had gone on over to the Friday Mash Up and I really loved their sketch and challenge:

 

 

Sketch by: Lisa 

Here's your Mashup Challenge:

1. Create a project using the above "Sketch".
2. Create a " Get Well" Project.
3. or Mash it Up and create a "Get Well project using the Sketch". 

I decided to "mash it up" as I also need to build up my "get well" stash so here is what I came up with:

 

I used some of the pieces I had left of my Floral District DP, my Thoughts and Prayers stamp set (yeah not retiring!) and the soon to retire "Betsy's Blooms" set. I love the "pop" you get when you combine Razzleberry with Old Olive1 A little of my favorite ribbon (yeah also NOT retiring!!) and I was done!! However, I really liked the sketch so I did a few "Thank You" cards as well. Here is what I came up with:

I used a base of Pool Party, some of my Sweet Sorbet DP, ran a panel of Pool Party through the decorative dots DF, stamped the sentiment with one of my all time favorites "Short and Sweet" and lightly stamped a background with "Packed for Baby" stamp set. Great sketch, especially if your like me and hoard all your favorite DP scraps!! Remember you only have until June 2nd to get your favorites while they last!! Have a great day!

Another Freshly Made Challenge

Evening All,
After a very LONG week I decided that I should spend a little time crafting to decompress. So I went on over to Freshly Made Sketches and they another fabulous sketch:

I needed a few "Thank You" cards so here is what I came up with:

 

 

I found a few pieces of Baja Breeze that I had "squirreled" away, which went well with the Comfort Café DP. I used one of my all time favorite retired sentiment sets, "Short and Sweet". A little seam binding and I was done. I definitely feel a bit better!

Have a great night!

Another quick CASe

Hi All,
I wanted to share another rendition of the card I made last week but I used some different stamps and embossing folder. Kind of nice to see the different looks you can make! Anyway here it is:

 

I used the Decorative Dots Folder from Saleabration and used Betsy's Bloom's for the tag that I topped with the Tag Scallop Punch. A little gold bakers twine and I was done. Hope you enjoyed the day!

Thanks for stopping by!
