Precious baby girl - C4G #230

Hello!  It's time for a new challenge at Cardz 4 Galz!!   For this challenge, we want to see card for a baby girl.  Here is my card...

I kind of cheated on this one... I let my paper do most of the work.   I cut around 3 blocks and rounded the corners.  It is the Paper Studio Sweet Pea.  I trimmed down and rounded the corners on a Recollections tag then stamped and heat embossed my sentiment that is from Sweet n Sassy Stamps Oh Baby.  The twine and ribbon are from my stash.  

We'd love to have you come play along at Cardz 4 Galz!! 

Thanks for stopping by and have a blessed day! 

A pair of fun birthday cards - TMS #766

Happy Tuesday to you!  It's time for Tuesday Morning Sketches!  We're enjoying our 15th anniversary celebration and continue this week with our cards... I've got 2 fun cards to show you...

The first is just like the sketch... 

My paper is Pebbles Birthday Wishes.  I'm pretty sure that my sentiment is a From the Heart Stamps digi.  The cupcake is from TH Blueprint Assortment.  I fussy cut it.  I used MFT Die-namics Stitched Ric Rac for the banner behind the sentiment panel.  

For this one, I stretched the sketch widthwise.  My paper is Bo Bunny Early Bird.  My image and sentiment are From the Heart Stamps.  (Can you tell that I am still using digis I printed many, many years ago?!?)  I fussy cut the cat a popped him up with foam tape for some dimension.  The banner behind is MFT Die-namica Banner Strip.  

Here's the sketch... #249 originally played on 5/13/14.

Birthday tulips - C4G #229

 Hello!  It's time for a new challenge at Cardz 4 Galz!!   Remember that we are a challenge for cards for girls, so this might be a real challenge for some because our theme is "shades of blue"!  But blue can be feminine. :)  Here's my card...

My image and sentiment are Sweet n Sassy Stamps Spring Blossom.  I colored the tulips with Copics.  The frames are Spellbinders A2 Fancy Postage Edge.  I colored a few adhesive dots in a dark blue to add.  The twine is from my stash.  

Be sure to come play along at Cardz 4 Galz!!

May all your Christmases be bright - SCC #162

 July 1st... this year is officially half over!  And it's Canada day!  And it's time for a new challenge at Sparkles Christmas Challenges!   Our theme for July is "a handmade ornament or ornaments."  I added ornaments to my card...

True friends - C4G #228

 It's time for another challenge at Cardz 4 Galz!  Our theme for this challenge is "inspired by a book."  The first book that came to mind that I could showcase on a card was "Anne of Green Gables" by L.M. Montgomery.  I read this book (and the whole series) many, many times as a girl!!  [Growing up in Atlantic Canada, I was able to visit Green Gables (the tourist site) and Prince Edward Island many times.]  I loved the book so much that when the movie came out in the '80's, all I could think was, "The book was better!" LOL

So here is Anne with an "e"!! :) 

My image and sentimen are "Anne of Green Gables" from Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps.  All my paper is bits and pieces from my scrap box.  My dies are Darice Swirl Vine, Sizzix TH Small Tattered Flowers, SSS Tiny Tags, and a MS branch punch.  

We'd love to have you come play along at Cardz 4 Galz! 

Thanks for stopping by and have a blessed day!  

Congratulations and Father's Day and Christmas, oh my! - TMS #762

Happy Tuesday to you!  It's time for Tuesday Morning Sketches!  So last week, I had 2 cards with the sketch.  This week, I have 3 to show you!  When I saw the sketch, I could not think of what to do with it!  Then the ideas came flooding and I tried them all. :D  

Card #1...

I cut a panel of AC My Baby paper.  I cut a couple of layers of pink with Die-namics Rocking Horse.  I remembered that I had some mulberry paper from my days of trying to make tear bears, so I made the cloud with it.   My sentiment is from Bo Bunny Sentiments.  

Card #2...

My paper is Pink Paislee Outfitters.  The shape behind "Dad" is the outline die of Spellbinders Medium Peony.  (I wanted an irregular shape!)  The heat embossed sentiment is The Project Bin Classic Man, and "Dad" is Sweet n Sassy Stamps Dad Word Die.  

Card #3...

This was actually the first idea I had, but it ended up being the one I liked the least.  It's ok, but didn't have the "wow" factor I was hoping for.  It's Poppystamps Stained Glass Snowflake die with Poppystamps Stained Glass Background.  This sentiment is one I use a lot!  It was a gift with an order years ago with no label.  The snowflake frame is glitter paper and the sentiment is silver paper, so it is pretty IRL.  Just nothing spectacular.  Oh well.  It will mail well.  LOL

Here's our sketch... 

**You'll want to be sure to visit us for the next several challenges!  TMS is celebrating 15 years in July!  To celebrate, we are revisiting some fun sketches from prior years.  Be sure to check it out!

Strength for today - TMS #761

Happy Tuesday to you!  Another Tuesday, and another challenge at Tuesday Morning Sketches!  I've actually got 2 cards to show you today...  I absolutely LOVE both sentiments! 

Here's my first card...

My paper is MME Paris & Co.  (On my laptop the paper looks blue, but IRL it's a soft seafoam green.  I hope you can see it for real. LOL)  My sentiment is Sweet n Sassy Stamps Hymn Blocks.  My button is Papertrey Ink Buttoned Up #1 and the twine is from my stash. 

Here's a second card that I made that I think has a more masculine feel to it...

I used paper from my scrap box for this one.  My sentiment is Sweet n Sassy Stamps His Peace.   I inked the sentiment with TH tea dye before removing it from the Spellbinders A2 Matting Basics die. The button and twine are from my stash.  

Here's our sketch...
