Another Freshly Made Christmas!

Evening All,
I had a chance to pop on over to Freshly Made Sketches and they had another inspiring sketch:

 

I am continuing to work on my Great Aunt's Christmas cards and thought this was perfect. Here is what I came up with:

 

 

I used a base of Cherry Cobbler and Lucky Limeade. I decided that I needed a little "bling" and added a rhinestone over the "i". Fun! Great challenge site when you need motivation!! Have a great night!

Surfin through Summer!

Hi All,
I finally had a minute to share my last card of my Summer Stamp a Stack this morning! I have been on a roll using the Summer Splash stamp set and thought I would round out the trio using that set:

I used a base of Not Quite Navy, a background of some Blueberry Crisp DP and Crumb cake and stamped the surf boards in a matching Not Quite Navy ink. I ran the bottom of the Whisper White paper through the Wood Grain EF and sponged it with Crumb Cake ink for a "beach" look. So fun! Have a great day!

Stamp a Stack Summer Splash

Hi All,
Had a chance to make another card that I am going to offer at my upcoming Summer Stamp a Stack. I was drawn again to the very fun Summer Splash stamp set and bright colors:

I used the colors from the Everyday Enchantment: Pool Party and Calypso Coral for my layers, ribbon and ink. Added a greeting from Well Scripted with a cheery, bright Calypso Coral brad and I was done! Love it! Thanks for stopping by!

Freshly Made Christmas!

Morning All,
Thought I would post a card I was inspired to make by this great sketch over at Freshly Made Sketches. Check it out:

 

 

I realized I needed to get moving on making my Great Aunt her Christmas cards so here is what I came up with:



I had some perfect squares already cut from the Holly Berry DP, which worked perfectly for the sketch. I put the sentiment in the center and used my old favorite Short and Sweet and I was done! Love when a card comes together so quickly! Have a great day!

Happy Summer

Hi All,
Quick post before I head into work. I had a chance to make a card yesterday and wanted something "summer" and "fun". I had recently borrowed the retired "Summer Splash" set from a friend and thought it would be perfect combined with some bright cardstock I had:

I used Calypso Coral, Whisper White, Bashful Blue and some Everyday Enchantment DP. I heat embossed the fish with their bubbles and added a sentiment in Craft Ink at the bottom and I was done! Fun and easy! Hope you had a great fourth!!

Perfect In Colors

Hi All,
Quick post before I head to the fireworks. I wanted to make a card for my new catty party and wanted to use one of my new sets; Perfect Blend and show case the new "in colors". Check it out:

I stamped the image on the new Baked Brown Sugar and then on Whisper White and cut out the pieces. Added the rectangles of in colors on a base of the new Crisp Cantaloupe that had been run through the polka dots embossing folder and I was done after a little ribbon. Love the Summer look!
Have a great fourth!

Wild Flower Meadow and other interesting items!

 

Morning All,

Wanted to post this yesterday but we had a tornado warning in the afternoon and was a bit distracted!! It was a bit crazy but no tornado thank goodness! Anyway I need some thank you cards and was playing around with my Wild Flower Meadow bundle and here is what I came up with:

I also used the Petite Pairs for my sentiment. I inked the stamp in white craft ink, dried it and colored it with markers giving it a little time to dry so I could add some depth. Then I placed it on a piece of Afternoon Picnic DP and mounted it on a half sheet of the new "In Color" Crisp Cantaloupe after running it through the embossing folder. A very fun set!!

 

I also wanted to share a great promo that Stampin Up is offering this month!!
