Happy Birthday - TMS #726

Happy Tuesday to you!  It's time for Tuesday Morning Sketches!  I've got a pretty simple birthday card to share this week...

I used a couple of scraps of Heidi Grace Daydream DP.  My banner is CC Designs Corner Banner die.   My image is DRS Designs Dogwood Branch and the sentiment is DRS Designs Small One Line Happy Birthday.  I colored 2 images and fussy cut the larger flowers (and yes, I know dogwoods are not blue!) and layered them to give a little dimension. 

Here's our sketch... (I put the banner too high, so my card is a little off, but shhhhh!) 

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

Happy birthday - C4G #208

It's time again for a new challenge at Cardz 4 Galz!  This time we've got a "recipe" for you... a stencil, a sentiment, and an image.  Pretty easy recipe. :) 

Here's my card with a stencil, sentiment, and image...

My stencil was the first stencil I ever bought... it's from a set that was actually meant for cookies, but it's never been in my kitchen! ;)  I inked it with TH peeled paint.  My image is Hero Arts Mum Stem stamp and die set.  Colored with my Spectrum Noir markers.  My sentiment is from Sweet n Sassy Stamps Birthday Greetings. 

As you can see from my card, you can use anything for a stencil. :)  Come play along with us at Cardz 4 Galz! 

Thanks for stopping by and have a blessed day! 

Warm thoughts - TMS #725

Happy Tuesday to you!  It's time for Tuesday Morning Sketches!  We're only 4 days from official fall!!  I love winter, but fall has to come first, so I'm always happy for fall. ;) 

Cardstock and ink and dies and embossing folders all came together to make this card.   I inked Darice Fall Leaves Background EF with TH peeled paint then embossed a Kraft panel.  My pumkins are made using a technique I learned from our fearless TMS leader, Melissa.  It's 3 ovals put together to make the pumpkins.  I embossed the ovals with Sizzix Eileen Hull 3D Sweater EF.  (I got the idea from pumpkins at Walmart that looked like a knitted sweater.  They would be destroyed too quickly by my cat or I'd have bought a couple.  They were so cute!!) My leaves are leftover Poppystamps Orchard Leaves I had cut when making last week's card.  My sentiment is from Spellbinders Warm and Cozy Medallion Labels and cut out with a stitched banner.   It turned out a little busier than I wished, but it is pretty IRL! 

Here's our sketch...  And my card is an example of using different shapes than the sketch portrays for the elements...

Happy Tuesday to you!  It's time for Tuesday Morning Sketches!   Here's a fall-ish thank you card...

Leafy thank you - C4G #207

 Good morning!  It's time for another challenge at Cardz 4 Galz!  Since fall is just around the corner, we want to see leaves!   Here are my leaves on my very CAS card...

My leaves are cut from 3 colors of the Paper Studio cardstock using Spellbinders Orchard Harvest Tags and Accents.  I added a bow from twine in my stash.  The sentiment is Poppystamps Playful Thank You.  I cut 3 layers to give it some dimension.  Easy peasy! 

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

Thanks for stopping by and have a blessed day!

Praying for you - TMS #723

 Happy Tuesday to you!  It's time for Tuesday Morning Sketches!  Today, I have a simple, but pretty card to encourage...

Black, Kraft, and a small piece of white cardstock was all this took.  My sentiment is Clear Dollar Pretty Little Scriptures.  My dies are Poppystamps Orchard Leaf Square Frame and Slim Leafy Collage.  And Spellbinders A2 Matting Basics which I use on just about every card. 

Here's our sketch...

Snowman greetings - SCC #152

 Another new month and another new challenge at Sparkles Christmas Challenge!  This month, we like you to "Build Me a Snowman"!   (I really hope we get enough snow where I live to build a snowman this winter!!)  

I embossed a panel with Darice Snowflake Swirl.  I cut a "hill" with Poppystamps Stitched Landscapes and colored the edge.  My snowman is Simon Says Stamp Build a Snowman.  The sentiment was ready and waiting in my extra box.  The plaid frame and scarf are Recollections Christmas Plaid. 

Fall is almost here.  Then comes the Christmas season, so come play along, build a snowman, and join us at Sparkles Christmas Challenge!

Thanks for stopping by and have a blessed day!
