Bridal shower congratulations - TMS #757

Happy Tuesday to you!  It's time for Tuesday Morning Sketches!  My card is a bridal shower card... 


This was so simple to make, and I absolutely LOVE how it turned out!  My paper is DCWV Pastel Patterns.  I used Poppystamps Raining Frame and flipped the umbrella to the pattern on the other side.  I cut it again to get the handle from Kraft.  I added some small flowers from Sizzix TH Small Tattered Flowers with some greenery with MS Branch punch.  My die cut sentiment finished it off.  

Here's the sketch...

Just BEE-cause - C4G #225

Hi!  Glad you stopped by!  It's time for a new challenge at Cardz 4 Galz!  May 20 is World Bee Day, so that is our theme for this challenge.  Here's my bee-utiful card... ;) 


My paper is Crate Paper Bloom.  My images are There She Goes Bee Happy.  The honeycomb and tiny bee die cuts are Sizzix Impresslits Sweet Friend.  This set also has words and an EF which I used on the pink panel.  It embosses and cuts the hexagons.  

Challenges:
Word Art Wednesday #647-648 - AG as long as it's family friendly
Try It On Tuesday - small things
Simon Says Stamp Wednesday - use patterned paper
The Paper Shelter #596 - lots of layers

hello - TMS #756

 Happy Tuesday to you!  It's time for Tuesday Morning Sketches!  For this challenge, we are collaborating with Double Trouble's Twisted Sister Challenge.  They are adding our sketch to their options.  I also played along with Thing #1: in honor of "lost sock memorial day," find unused and unmatched items for our cards.  **Be sure to go there and enter your card, too.  



My image is from Beccy's Place.  My sentiment is Bo Bunny.  I often use my scrap box for cards, but tend to grab what I can see.  For this card, I dug through and found 4 pieces that I cannot tell you what pad they are from, but I can tell you that they are all from different paper pads.  Definitely, unused and unmatched like "lost socks"!  

Here's our sketch...


I'm entering my card in:
Double Trouble #166 - "Stash and Trash"

Happy Mother's Day Mum - C4G #224

Happy Thursday!  It's time for another challenge at Cardz 4 Galz!  Our theme is "Celebration" which can mean many things... Mother's Day, baby, graduation, wedding... we want to see what you are celebrating!  I made a Mother's Day card as that is coming soon here in the US and Canada, and I needed to make one for my mother...    


My flowers are Altenew Sweet Spring layered stencil.  I used Catherine Pooler Samba and Coral Cabana inks. The script sentiment is Raisin Boat Marvelous Mom, and the die cut word is Simon Says Stamp Mum.  I added a few Nuvo Crystal Drops in Caramel Cream.  (I was impatient and when I added my panel to my card base, a couple of them flattened, but I guess that's ok because they surely will be squished in the mail.)

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

Thanks for stopping by and have a blessed day!

Christmas presents - SCC #160

 A new month and a new challenge at Sparkles Christmas Challenge!  This month's theme is "ribbon or twine.'  I used to use ribbon on ALL of my cards but haven't done that as much recently.  I used ribbon as an accent, but on this card, it is part of the focal elements...


A piece of the Paper Studio Pine St. Square.  Presents (rectangles) cut from Kraft cardstock.  Ribbon from the Paper Studio.  My sentiment was a die that was an extra gift with an order long ago from who knows where. Simple, but cute.

Please come play along with us at Sparkles Christmas Challenge!

Thanks for stopping and have a blessed day!
