I'm praying for you - TMS #654

 Happy Tuesday to you!  It's time for Tuesday Morning Sketches!  This week, we've got a pretty basic sketch and here's my card...

My image is Spring Blossom from Sami Stamps.  It is a digi stamp that was printed on vellum and "embossed." I have not done this is a long time.  You can check out some instructions HERE.  I cut a panel of Heidi Grace Daydream with Kat Scrappiness Wonky Wavy Stitched Rectangles then cut a circle in it to frame the image.  *Doing it this way meant I could adhere the vellum and the glue doesn't show!  My sentiment is Raisin Boat Flourishing Thoughts.

Here's the sketch...

Hello - TMS #653

 Happy Tuesday to you!  It's time for Tuesday Morning Sketches!  I seldom say this or feel this way, but I'm very happy with my card for this challenge.  

I had a few paper pads on my desk, flipped through Crate Paper "Bloom" and immediately knew I wanted to use these papers.  My sentiment is a word die from a set I bought years ago from a craft sale site.  I cut it out 4 times and glued them all together then swiped it with VersaMark and heat embossed it with Ranger Extra Thick embossing powder.  That gave it shine and more stability.  (Oops! I made this while wearing my glasses that need the prescription updated, so I didn't notice until I had adhered it to the circle that I missed a spot or two.)  The circle the sentiment is on is cut out with Die-versions Stitched Circles.  I added 3 adhesive dots to finish it off. 

Here's the awesome sketch for the week...

Butterfly birthday - TMS #652

 Happy Tuesday to you!  It's time for Tuesday Morning Sketches!  This week I'm sharing my cousin's birthday card.  She is fighting a difficult and courageous battle with MS and has the sweetest spirit through it all!   She loves flowers and birds, so I hope she likes my butterfly, too. 

My paper is Bo Bunny Early Bird.  My sentiment is from Sweet n Sassy Stamos Birthday Greetings.  The butterfly die is from a Uchi Design motion card set.  (Still haven't figured out to make the motion cards work!) The border is a MS punch. 

Here's our sketch... I can't wait to see how everyone interprets the elements of this sketch!

Fun folds for Christmas - SCC #135

Happy April 1st!! I won't even try to have a funny April Fool's joke. ;)  

It's time for Sparkles Christmas Challenge!  Our theme this month is fun folds.  I really like fun/fancy folds though I don't make them often.  So a challenge like this helps me.  I made a pinwheel tower card...  

It stands up well.

I made one main panel, but...

you can decorate all the sides.

Even with all the layers that make it stand up well and all the sides decorated, it still fits in an A2 envelope.  (There are lots of tutorials for pinwheel tower cards on YouTube.)  This was fun and easy to make!

My paper is some more of the leftover pages from some Christmas pads.  My car is clipart from Creative Fabrica.  The "cool Christmas" sentiment is from MFT Cool Christmas.  The other is Sum More Fun Tangled Tinsel.  The fancy die cut is CC Designs Winter Wonderland.  And I added a few snowflakes from an old tiny punch.  

Please come play along at Sparkles Christmas Challenge!

Thanks for stopping by and have a blessed day!
