many thanks - TMS #594

 Happy Tuesday to you!  It's time for Tuesday Morning Sketches!  Here's my card that I hope will inspire you to play along in this week's challenge... 

My DP is MME Lost & Found Portobello Road.  My image and butterflies are from Let's Go Shop - Winnie Fruit Punch from Polkadoodles.  My tiny sentiment is another of the Hero Arts Petite Messages rubber stamps like I used on last week's card.  I used Kat Scrapinness Wonky Stitched Rectangles and Die-Versions Stitched Circles. 

Here's our first new sketch of the year!  This will be a great one because you can keep it CAS or embellish to your heart's content!

Just a note to say hello

Lately, all my cards have been made for my Design Teams, because I needed a specific card, or because someone requested a specific card made.  This evening, I was happy to have the time and energy to just play! :) 

I recently received some extra money and splurged on a stamp and die set that I have been wishing for ever since I first saw it.  Here's the card I made with it...

When I first saw layering stamps a few years ago, I thought they were so neat!  I did get a couple of sets of layered flowers... and was so frustrated and disappointed in most of my attempts.   It's tough to get them perfect!!!   I saw a card maker on YouTube use a grouped layering stamp and die set.  Wow!!  I wanted these!  Like I said, I splurged and got Peony Memories Cardmaking stamps set and matching dies from the Ton.  Love them already!!  

I embossed a white panel with the Paper Studio Script EF.  I stamped the flowers with Catherine Pooler Fiesta Blue, All that Jazz, and Suede Shoes.  My sentiment is from this set, too (it has a bunch!!), stamped with VersaFine Black Onyx, and cut out with a fishtail banner from Spellbinders Lacey Pennants.  

I'm submitting this card to these challenges...

As you Like It - do you prefer rubber, clear or digi and why -- I prefer clear stamps because I love the clean, clear way they stamp. And they take up less space, so there's room for more! ;)

Aud Sentiments #268 - anything goes + sentiment

StampingPals Challenge #12 - favourite technique  - I love dry embossing!!!

The Flower Challenge #53 - use your latest stamps and dies - just got this set in the mail this week :) 

Thanks for stopping by!  Have a great weekend!

 Happy Tuesday to you!  It's time for Tuesday Morning Sketches!  I have a fun card (IMHO) for you today...

 Isn't this little teacup just the cutest?!?  It is a sticker from Doodlebug Designs.  My paper is Heidi Grace "Daydream."  My sentiment is a Hero Arts Petite Messages rubber stamp.  My dies are Spellbinders A2 Matting Basics, Kat Scrappiness Stitched Fishtail dies, and Die-Versions Stitched Circles.  

This week is our last DT favorite sketch from 2020, so next week, we'll start with all new sketches!  This week's sketch is Tammy's favorite...

Feel better - TMS #592

 Happy Tuesday to you!  It's time for Tuesday Morning Sketches!

This card uses a stamp set that I’ve not used in a very, very, very long time!  I’m really trying to use what I have and not buy more craft supplies (though it’s hard!!), so I’m going through my stash (much of which is still in boxes) and finding forgotten gems.  Here’s one...

This stamp set is JustRite Chicken Soup which matches and is cut out with Spellbinders Labels Four.  My DP is Papertrey Ink “Postmarks.”  My tic-tac-toe is MFT Die-namics Stitched RicRac.  With the large dots, I left off the tiny circles.

Here’s the sketch...  (This is Patti’s favorite.)

We’re a perfect fit -TMS #591

 Happy Tuesday to you!  It's time for Tuesday Morning Sketches!

I hope this post is ok.  My laptop died, so I’m trying to do this on my phone.  We’ll see how it goes. 

I got the pic here, so that’s half the battle! LOL

My paper is CTMH.  My image and sentiment are PaperTrey Ink “Perfect Fit” stamped with Catherine Pooler “Be Mine.”  The sentiment is cut with KatScrappiness Stitched Fishtail Banners. I used an EK Success border punch. 

My intent was to make a Valentine for my husband, but this ended up really girly, so I've got time to try again with more masculine paper. 

Here’s our sketch for the week...  this one is Melissa’s favorite from 2020...

In the meadow - SCC #121

Happy February to you!  It is time for Sparkles Christmas Challenge!!  Our theme is "Snowman/men" so here are my men... :)

My image is from my stash of printed images.  It is a digital stamp from "In the Meadow Snowmen" from From the Heart Stamps (which has been closed a loooong time!)  It's colored with my Spectrum Noir markers, and cut out with Unbranded Stitched Banners from Cheapo Dies.  It is adhered to a glittery DCWV paper.  A knotted organza ribbon finished it off.  

Time's flying... less than 11 months 'til Christmas, so come play along and add to your stash of cards for 2021.  :D 

Thanks for stopping by and have a blessed day!
