Wedding day wishes - TMS #673

 Happy Tuesday to you!  It's time for Tuesday Morning Sketches!  This week I've got a wedding card to share.  I tend to struggle with wedding cards, but I am happy with how this one turned out.  Take a look...


This was just white cardstock.  I dry embossed the bottom half with the Paper Studio Script.  The flowers are The Ton Peony Memories Cardmaking.  "Best wishes" is from Sunny Studio Heartfelt Wishes.  "on your wedding day" is from Papertrey Ink Wedding Stamp Set.  The ribbon is from my stash, and I added some Liquid Pearls to finish it off. 

Here's our sketch...  ((Which do you think I created first... my card or the sketch?))

Thanks for stopping by!  Be sure to go check out the creations from the TMS DT...

Butterfly birthday - C4G #180

 Welcome!  Today is another challenge at Cardz 4 Galz!  Our theme for this challenge is "use 3 of anything." I've got 3 (and many more on the BG) butterflies...


My paper is Simple Stories "Simple Vintage Botanicals" and I cut it with Poppystamps Stitched Landscapes.  My sentiment is from Sweet n Sassy Birthday Greetings. The butterflies were on the paper and I cut them with a butterfly die from that is part of Uchi's Design Animation Card set from American Crafts.  I have yet to figure out how to make the animation card but I use the butterfly and banner dies from the set. :) 

Please come play along with us at Cardz 4 Galz!! 

Thanks for stopping by and have a blessed day!

Hello - C4G #179

 Hi!  It's time for another challenge at Cardz 4 Galz!!  Our theme is "check it out" so we want to see your checks or plaids.

You can check out the plaid I created... ;)


My plaid was created with DRS Designs "Woven Plaid" rubber stamp and Pinkfresh Studio "Sunshine" ink.  I inked the edges with Hero Arts Navy.  My flowers are The Ton "Peony Memories" Cardmaking layered stamp and die set.  My sentiment is from Raisin Boat "Flourishing Thoughts" and cut out with Spellbinders Lacy Pennants.  I added a few adhesive dots to finish it off.  (Though I'm not as happy with them as I thought I'd be. Oh well, too late now!)

Thanks for stopping by!  Come on over to Cardz 4 Galz and play along!!

Lifting you up - TMS #670

 Happy Tuesday to you!  It's time for Tuesday Morning Sketches!  Here's my card...


This was pretty quick and easy to put together.  The image is a colored digi stamp from Love Lifts You from Imagine That! Digis by Kris (which is sadly closed) and was in my printed-and-waiting-to-be-used box.  It was cut out with CottageCutz Double Stitched Ovals.  I try to be very careful with my crafting budget, but I have actually bought a few new things recently and felt justified because I am using up my stash that has been sitting around waiting.  This card is all stash. :)

The BG panel was created with DRS Designs Woven Plaid.  I made it for another card and wasn't happy with it (the angle of the plaid is off), so it's been sitting on my desk.  After seeing it several times and wondering why I hadn't used it, I realized that the problem probably wasn't noticeable unless I would draw attention to it.  Which I obviously just did. LOL

A small piece of green cardstock dry embossed with Darice Dots BG and some baker's twine from my stash, and it was done. 

Here's our sketch...

Glory to God - TMS #669

 Happy Tuesday to you!  It's time for Tuesday Morning Sketches!  I made a Christmas card. for this week's challenge.  I'm hoping to actually send out cards this year to more than just my immediate family, so I need to get creating! 


My paper is Scrapbook Customs Christmas Watercolor Collection.  I trimmed down a Recollections Kraft tag to get the shape and size I wanted and inked the edges.  My sentiment and image are from CTMH Glory to God.  The ribbon is from my stash.  I used a Sweet N Sassy Stamps star die and cut a couple of stars.  I glued them together  to give the star some stability and a bit of dimension, then I swiped it with VersaMark, and heat embossed it with Martha Stewart gold EP. 

Here's our sketch...

Have a very Merry Christmas - SCC #139

This year is flying by!  How can it be August 1 already??!??  That means it's time for Sparkles Christmas Challenge #139!  This month our theme is "sentiment as the focus." 


My paper is the Paper Studio Pine St Square.  My sentiment is Colorado Craft Co Merry Everything and is heat embossed with MS embossing powder.   It's cut out with CottageCutz Stitched Rectangles and inked on the edge before removing it from the die.  The flower is from my stash, and the leaves are Poppystamps Orchard Leaves. 

Here's a closeup of the embossing.  It's so pretty!


Time's flying, so get making those Christmas cards and share them with us at Sparkles Christmas Challenge

Thanks for stopping and have a blessed day!
