Just a note - TMS #510

Happy Tuesday to you!  It's time for Tuesday Morning Sketches!  I've got a note for you! :)

My image is from MilkCoffee Digital Stamps and colored with my Spectrum Noir markers.  The sentiment is from TPC Studios.  The unbranded Scallop Stitch Rectangles are from Cheapo Dies.    My chipboard butterfly is Heidi Swapp.  

Challenges...
Crafty Friends #113 - things beginning with B (butterfly)
Make My Monday #99 - begins with the letter B (butterfly)
Crafty Cardmakers #237 - dies or punches (stitched scalloped dies)


I also made another card with this sketch.  This is a lovey-dovey card for my hubby.  

My sentiment is Sweet n Sassy Stamps.  I used the same Cross Stiched Rectangles as above.  The heart is CC Designs Big Hearts dies.  I embossed the Kraft panel with Cuttlebug Love Language EF.  I heat embossed the sentiment panel with Bo Bunny I Heart Stars clear stamp and clear embossing powder.  It's hard to see in the pic, but is really cool IRL.  Here's a closeup...

Here's our fun sketch for the week...

Fun Valentine cards

Today is Valentine's Day!  I always make a mushy card for my husband, but this year I also made fun cards for my kids.   The first one is my son's card.  He LOVES kitties!!

I used Stampendous Pop Up Kitties Stamp and Die set. I colored the kitties with my Spectrum Noir markers.  I don't have the official pop up die for this set, so I used an Action Wobble on the head.  My DP is DCWV Playful Pets.  The hearts are cut with Spellbinders Scalloped Hearts.   The "Happy Valentine's Day" is Raisin Boat Playing Cupid.

Hello - TMS #480

Happy Tuesday to you!  It's time for Tuesday Morning Sketches!  We're well into fall and winter is on it's way, but I've got a floral, much more spring-ish card for you. :)  

My DP is Pebbles Family Ties.  I used Spellbinders A2 Matting Basics, Spellbinders Standard Circles, Spellbinders Petite Scalloped Circles, Spellbinders Blossom 5, and  Die-Versions "hello" Curly Words.  I cut the word in fun foam and layered it under the cardstock to give some dimension. MS branch punch for the foliage, and a brad from my stash finished it off. 


Here's our sketch...

Crafty Cardmakers #222 - lots of layers

Bundles of hearts - TMS #369

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

My card is a sweet one today.  At least in my opinion. ;)

Don't you agree that this little guy is just adorable???   He's Bundle of Hearts from Crafty Sentiments.  He's fussy cut then attached to a Spellbinders Standard Circle and Petite Scalloped Circle.  The main panel is embossed with Darice Dot Background.  All my paper is from my scrap box.  The little charm was out of its pkg, so I don't know where it came from.  Here's a close up...

My image was from our sponsor for this week... Crafty Sentiments!  The prize is 3 digis of the winners choice.  They have some sweet, sweet images!!!

Big Blossom - TMS #246

Happy Tuesday to you!!  It's time for Tuesday Morning Sketches!!  It is finally beginning to look like spring around here, so I've got a flowery Mother's Day wish to show you!

I kept my card pretty clean and simple.  I started with a Kraft base, stamped my Stampendous sentiment in Memento Rich Cocoa, added 3 strips of washi tape,  and the flower.  This was cut in the 3 smallest sizes then crumpled.  I inked the edges with TH walnut stain.   The blossom is Spellbinders Blossom Five (available at Dies R Us)......

Dies R Us just happens to be our sponsor for this week!  :)  I wish I could win!!!  I love my dies almost as much as my many (I don't dare count!) wonderful embossing folders!

Jessi created our fun sketch for this week...
