Happy birthday - TMS #681

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

I cut a Kraft card base and added strips of Carta Bella Metropolitan Girl DP.  I embossed the CottageCutz Double Stitched oval with CB Swill Dots.  My MS Bird stamp was colored with my Spectrum Noir markers, fussy cut, and popped up.  The sentiment is Sweet n Sassy Pennant Party. 

Here's our sketch...

It's time for another challenge at Cardz 4 Galz!  This time, the theme is Halloween or any or all of these Halloween colors: orange, purple, and black.  I used a couple of the colors for my card...

My DP is Prima Believe.  My butterflies are cut with a die from AC Uchi's Design Animation Card set.  I cut them in black, too, and layered them so they stand out a little better, especially IRL.  I used Spellbinders A2 Matting Basics and CottageCutz Stitched Rectangles.  My sentiment is from Papertrey Ink Leaf Stamp Set.  It's stamped in VersaFine Clair Nocturne then clear heat embossed.  

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

Merry Christmas - TMS #680

 Happy Tuesday to you!  It's time for Tuesday Morning Sketches!  I'm still working on Christmas cards...

I started by cutting the main panel from DCWV Glitter Mat Stack.  I cut the white circle and embossed it with CB Swiss Dots. The poinsettia is Darice Poinsettia.  (I will leave the die cuts in the die and run through with an embossing mat next time so the embossing will be more prominent.)  I cut one layer of the flower from green and used that as the leaves.  (I don't remember who I saw do this, but it's a great idea!  So much easier than cutting individual leaves!)  The flourish is Darice Swirl Vine.  The sentiment is Sweet n Sassy Christmas Tags and heat embossed.  It's cut out with Kat Scrappiness Stitched Fishtail Banner.

Love & Appreciation - TMS #679

 Happy Tuesday to you!  It's time for Tuesday Morning Sketches!  Here's what I created this week...

This card (with a gift card enclosed) was made for our new pastor and family.  The church is another colored digi from Doodle Pantry that I've had printed for a long time. The main panel is embossed with Lifestyle Crafts Whimsy and the edges were inked with Hero Arts Soft Granite.  I inked the edge of the image oval, too, to tone down the start whiteness.  The sentiment is from McMahon Five Designs.  It was heat embossed and cut out with Kat Scrappiness Stitched Fishtail Banners. 

Here's our sketch...  I love this!  It's so versatile!

For a cause - C4G #183

It's time for another challenge at Cardz 4 Galz!   This challenge is "for a cause."  It could be breast cancer or any other cancer awareness, autism awareness, adoption, earth day, or whatever other cause you want to create a card for.  Mine is for breast cancer awareness as October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month.  

My die is Die-versions Whispers Awareness Square.  I've made a few cards with this recently in different colors for different cancers, but this one is pink for BCA.  I cut it in pink 2 times and stacked them.  I cut it once in black for the bottom to make it stand out against the pink BG.  The paper is Colorbok Love.  The sentiment is one I've had printed for a long time and I don't remember where it's from, but I have multiple sheets printed and use it often!  It's cut out using Kat Scrappiness Stitched Fishtail Banners. 

Come play along at Cardz 4 Galz and show us what cause is dear to your heart!

Thanks for stopping by and have a blessed day!!

Great is Thy faithfulness - TMS #678

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

 

My DP is Prima Epiphany cut out with Kat Scrappiness Wonky Wavy Stitched Rectangles.  My heat embossed sentiment is from Sweet n Sassy Hymn Blocks and cut out with the same die set.  The banner is a side of a pennant from Spellbinders Lacey Pennants.  I made a little snip between each hoop so I could bend it.  

Great Is Thy Faithfulness is one of my favorite hymns!  Here's a couple of the verses...

Great is Thy faithfulness, O God my Father
There is no shadow of turning with Thee
Thou changest not, Thy compassions, they fail not
As Thou hast been, Thou forever will be

Great is Thy faithfulness
Great is Thy faithfulness
Morning by morning new mercies I see
All I have needed Thy hand hath provided
Great is Thy faithfulness, Lord, unto me

Pardon for sin and a peace that endureth
Thine own dear presence to cheer and to guide
Strength for today and bright hope for tomorrow
Blessings all mine with ten thousand beside

Great is Thy faithfulness
Great is Thy faithfulness
Morning by morning new mercies I see
All I have needed Thy hand hath provided
Great is Thy faithfulness, Lord, unto me

God is so good!!!

Glory to the newborn King - SCC #141

 Christmas is getting closer and closer!!  :)  And to help us prepare, it's time for another challenge at Sparkles Christmas Challenge! Our theme this month is "holly and/or ivy."  

I've got some holly on my card...

My main panel is Scrapbook Customs Christmas Watercolor DP.  I cut Yvonne Creations Holly Jolly Music Border die in black, then red and green and trimmed the birds and holly.  I added used my Wink of Stella pen on the holly for some shimmer.  (See closeup below.) My heat embossed sentiment is Neat & Tangled Joyful Sentiments. 

Maybe it's my laptop or my eyesight, but this looks kind of blah on my computer, but I really am pleased with how it turned out IRL. 

Come on over and play along at Sparkles Christmas Challenge!!
