Freshly Made Thank You

Hi All,
I wanted to share a Thank You card that I made using the awesome sketch over at Freshly Made Sketches.

And here is what I came up with:

 

I used a base Of Calypso Coral, Layers of Everyday Enchantment DP, Pool Party and Whisper White. I used my Gorgeous Grunge and Petite Pairs stamp set with a little Calypso Coral ribbon and a clear Vintage button. Love the cheerful colors! Thanks for stopping by!

Better late than never!

Hi All,
I wanted to share a card I made for the sketch challenge over at Always Playing with Paper but, as usual, I was a little "late". Here is the sketch I was motivated by:



Here is what I came up with:

 

I used a mix of old and new with a retired set called "Bear Hugs" and my newer set Gorgeous Grunge. I used a base of Wisteria Wonder with a strip of Afternoon Picnic. A layer of So Saffron I had hiding and some awesome Bakers twine and I was good to go! Another Thank You card off the list!! Can't wait for tomorrow to share the new catty!!

Have a great day!

Cased myself!

Evening All,
I wanted to share a card I made that is actually a CASe of a card I made on my March 2nd post. I am hoping to do a workshop for a friend and she was interested in having a card to make that was a bit brighter then that one. Here is what I came up with:

 

  I used a base of Daffodil Delight, a panel of Basic Black and then a panel of Raspberry Ripple that I had run through the scallop embossing folder. I again used the Gorgeous Grunge set (as its awesome) on my tag which I punched out the with scallop tag topped punch and the Simply Sketched hostess set for the sentiment. A little Gold Bakers Twine and I was done! Hope she likes it!

Have a good night!

Just for fun!

Hi All,
In an effort to procrastinate doing some paperwork this morning I decided to make a card that I would like to do at a friends workshop. I wanted to play around with some of the "In Colors" for this year and the Saleabration DP. Here is what I came up with:

 

I used a base of Whisper White and added a layer of Basic Black and Pistachio Pudding (love that green!) that I ran through the scallop embossing folder. I used the new scallop tag topper and tied some of the Gold Bakers Twine. I used the Modern Label punch and stamped the Gorgeous Grunge background and used the sentiment from Simply Sketched (an awesome hostess set). A simple yet fun card!

Thanks for stopping by!

New Toys!

Hi All,
I made this card the other day out of some of my new toys from Saleabration and the new mini catalog and thought I would share, Here is the card:

 

And here it is with the tag out:

 

I used this years new in colors Crisp Cantaloupe and Pistachio Pudding with the new Sweet Sorbet DP that you can chose free from Saleabration. I ran the Pistachio panel through the Scallops embossing folder (really love it!!) and added the new gold bakers twine to the tag and DP panel. I used the Tag Topper Punch on the 2x4" tag and stamped it with the in colors using the Gorgeous Grunge set and heat embossed the saying I chose From The Heart set in gold. Love the effect! Hope you have a great day!

A little more caught up!

Hi All,
Well with the snow I was canceled from school and was able to make my second card for my club. I wanted some cheerful color and, after all the Christmas cards, wanted to see some flowers. Here is what I came up with:

 

I used a base of Wisteria Wonder, Basic Black and the Afternoon Picnic DP. On the Very Vanilla panel I stamped the background with my Gorgeous Grunge and then stamped the flower image from the Simply Sketched Hostess set. Some Wisteria Wonder Twine and dots and I was done, Thanks for stopping by!

Freshly Made Turkey!

Evening All,
I wanted to share the next card that I am presenting at my club this coming Friday. I  needed a Thanksgiving themed card but wasn't sure where I would start. So I ended up at Freshly Made Sketches and was very motivated by this weeks sketch:

 

This card made me laugh and I really needed that today! I used the Owl punch and have seen tons of variation's with the turkey so not sure where to give the original credit, all I know is it wasn't me that came up with this cute little guy! I did my base with Naturals White and used a new to me set from the catty called "Gorgeous Grunge"! Works great with this sketch! I hand wrote the sentiment and I was done. Again, not sure even the first place I saw this, but it made me crack up!

Thanks for stopping by!
