Snowflake Christmas - TMS #623
Happy Tuesday to you! It's time for Tuesday Morning Sketches! Still working on Christmas cards...
I used a piece of shiny paper from my scrap box for my snowflakes. (See the close up below.) I used Sweet N Sassy Stamps Small Snowflakes die. My sentiment is from Raisin Boat "Merry Nature" and it's heat embossed and cut out with Spellbinders Petite Ovals.
See the pretty shimmer? :)

baby - TMS #622
Happy Tuesday to you! It's time for Tuesday Morning Sketches!
I recently got some stamps from The Project Bin and thought this sketch was perfect to try out one of them. My paper is AC My Baby, and the sentiment is from The Project Bin "Defined." ((All of their stamps are on sale right now!)) I used a small punch and layered several circles to give the corner element some dimension. Easy peasy!
Here' our fun sketch...

A full stocking - SCC #128
It's September!!! Fall is on it's way, then.... Christmas!! We celebrate (by that I mean work on our cards) all year at Sparkles Christmas Challenge, so we're ready when Christmas comes! :)
This month's theme is "Stockings"! And here's my card...
This is a Doodle Pantry (a long closed digi store) image. I can see that I need to replace some of my markers. They are not blending well at all, but if you squint, it looks all good. LOL
My paper is Echo Park Christmas. My panels are cut with Kat Scrappiness Wavy Wonky Stitched Rectangles. My sentiment is from Simon Says Stamp Build A Snowman.
Please come play along at Sparkles Christmas Challenge!!

Aged to perfection - TMS #620
Happy Tuesday to you! It's time for Tuesday Morning Sketches! I went through and organized my card stash recently and realized that I have very few masculine birthday cards, so that's what I made this week...

Wedding day wishes - TMS #619
Happy Tuesday to you! It's time for Tuesday Morning Sketches! I'm been making lots of sympathy cards lately, but this one is a happy card! :)
I needed a card for a wedding, and had made one that was very traditional. Then I decided I wanted to make one a little less so, and this is it.
I embossed my background with Darice Crackle. My flower is Technique Tuesday Cosmos. My paper was from my scrap box, and the green twine was from my stash. My sentiment is Papertrey Ink Wedding Mini Stamp Set and cut out with Kat Scrappiness Stitched Fishtail Banners.
Here is our sketch...

Wishing you comfort - TMS #618
Happy Tuesday to you! It's time for Tuesday Morning Sketches! I hope it doesn't make you sad to see the many sympathy cards I'm making. These are tough, but I always want them to be an encouragement to the recipient. I've sent several and am trying to create some to have a few on hand.
A very simply patterned paper from Heidi Grace Daydream, a sentiment from Justrite Sympathy Handwritten Sentiments, and layered stamped flowers from The Ton Peony Memories.
Here's our sketch that can be kept CAS or embellished plenty...

You're awesome - TMS #617
Happy Tuesday to you! It's time for Tuesday Morning Sketches!
Here's my card for this week's sketch challenge...
This was fun to make! Because of the bright paper, I let my card base be the background. My DP is Colorbok Light Bright. My sentiment from Jillibean Pizza was in my "extras" box along with the TH Small Tattered Flowers. I added an adhesive dot to the center. All my circles are cut with Die-versions Stitched Circles. Here's the fun sketch...

Joy to the World - SCC #127
Good morning! It is August 1, and that means it is time for Sparkles Christmas Challenge!

My paper is the Paper Studio Pine St. Square. Dies used are Memory Box Virtuoso Music, Die-versions Nativity Border. and Spellbinders Lacey Pennants. My sentiment is from Kraftin' Kimmie Nativity Sentiments.

In sympathy - TMS #616
Happy Tuesday to you! It's time for Tuesday Morning Sketches! Here's my card for this week. Unfortunately, I've needed too many of this kind of card recently.
My paper is Heidi Grace Daydream. My sentiment is from Raisin Boat Stunning Silhouettes. I actually used 3 brads on this. I don't often use brads, but I still have lots so probably should.
Here's our sketch...

I miss you - TMS #615
Happy Tuesday to you! It's time for Tuesday Morning Sketches! I'm last minute getting this card made, so no time for chit chat. ;)
My flowers and butterflies are Sizzix/Hero Arts Butterflies #3. They are colored with my Spectrum Noir markers. My sentiment is Raisin Boat You Said It! I also used Spellbinders A2 Matting Basics. (I use that set pretty much on every card!) I inked the edges with Hero Arts Navy.

A blossoming day - TMS #614
Happy Tuesday to you! It's time for Tuesday Morning Sketches!
This week, we've got such a versatile sketch!! It can be CAS or fancy. Mine is more on the CAS side. I started with a black card base. My image (and sentiment) are from MHKDesigns and are colored with my Spectrum Noir markers. I cut the sentiment with Spellbinders Petite Ovals, framed it, adhered it to the flower panel and cut them with Spellbinders A2 Matting Basics. Here's the sketch...

Dad - the man, the myth, the legend - TMS #613
Happy Tuesday to you! It's time for Tuesday Morning Sketches! Here is this week's card...
I had a plan for this card, but when I got to my craft table, another thought came to me, so I tried it, and this is the result. I am not a mixed media or watercolor person, nor do I try a lot of special techniques, but when I saw my square TH distress "stormy sky" ink pad, I wondered if I could make the squares of the sketch with it. I just stamped the whole pad on my card base. It worked. So then I needed another. I used my Hero Arts Navy cube. It's tiny, so I had to make the square. I like the non-perfection of it all. My sentiment is The Project Bin Classic Man. I like this because the inside could say happy birthday, happy father's day, or any other congratulatory message. The sentiment and frame are cut using Spellbinders Standard Squares.
If I try my other idea, I'll be sure to share it, too. :)Here's our sketch...

Snowflakes... - SCC #126
Happy Canada Day! I cannot wait until the border is open so I can go visit my parents and they can come visit me!!
On that note, I've got a Christmas card! LOL It's time for Sparkles Christmas Challenge #126 with a theme of "snowflakes (more than one)" so get your chill on and show us some snowflakes!
Here's my card...
I embossed white cardstock with Darice Dot Background and put it on the card base without a frame. I think the different texture of the embossing is frame enough. My snowflakes are cut from a scrap piece of paper. They are Spellbinders Die-Delites Snowflakes. My sentiment is from Simon Says Stamp Build-A-Snowman. White is so hard to photograph well, but I assure you this is very pretty IRL!
Thanks for stopping by and please come play along with us at Sparkles Christmas Challenge!!

A thrill of hope - TMS #612
Happy Tuesday to you! It's time for Tuesday Morning Sketches! I've not had as much craft time lately as I would like, but I know Christmas is coming quickly, so I try to make a Christmas card each week. (Even though I don't share them all on here.) So here is my most recent...
My DP is Graphic 45 Christmas Carol. My musical banner is Memory Box Virtuoso Music die. My sentiment is Neat & Tangled Joyful Sentiments. The adhesive dots are from the Paper Studio.
The sentiment is a phrase from "O Holy Night" which is pretty much my favorite Christmas Carol. I've been singing it to myself the whole time I created this card. :)
Here's our sketch...
Hope you try it, have fun with it, and share it with us at Tuesday Morning Sketches!

We'd love to have you play along with us this week!!

Simple birthday - TMS #611
Happy Tuesday to you! It's time for Tuesday Morning Sketches! I've just got a simple birthday card for you today...
A card base, a piece of paper from my stash, ribbon from my stash, and a stamped-and-waiting sentiment made this quick and easy.
Here's the "sketch"...

Be still and know - TMS #610
Happy Tuesday to you! It's time for Tuesday Morning Sketches!
This was an easy card to put together. The sentiment/focal point is a Paper Studio sticker that I had put on the circle for another project but never used. I grabbed 2 more pages from the same paper pack... Heidi Grace Daydream... and cut my pieces. I used liquid pearls for my dot element. Like I said, it was very easy.
Here's our sketch for the week...

Happy birthday - TMS #609
Happy Tuesday to you! It's time for Tuesday Morning Sketches! Here's my card for this sketch...
The main musical panel is from iralamija shop (Etsy). The back Kraft panel is embossed with Darice Damask. My sentiment is from My Pink Stamper Family & Friends. The flowers are TH Small Tattered Flowers. Here's the sketch...

Christmas skates - SCC #125
It's June 1st and that means it's time for another Sparkles Christmas Challenge!! This month our theme is "Krafty Christmas"! Here's my "krafty" card...
My DP is the Paper Studio Pine St Square. I cut my Papertrey Ink Kraft cardstock piece with Poppystamps Stitched Landscapes. I don't have a name for the set my sentiment came from, sorry. My skates are from Simon Says Stamp Snow Gear. I used a MS branch punch for some brown "greenery." LOL A triple bow of twine and a few adhesive dots finished it off.
Thanks for stopping by and I hope you find some time to come play along!!
Masculine thank you - TMS #608
Happy Tuesday to you! It's time for Tuesday Morning Sketches! Lately, the cards I've needed most are sympathy and thank you cards. I tend to make the flowery, pretty thank yous, but realized that I do need some for men, too, so this is my attempt at a more masculine thank you card.
My DP is the Paper Studio "the Classics" and my sentiment is from My Pink Stamper "Simply Sweet Occasions." I used Spellbinders Standard Circles Large and Small. Easy peasy. :) And I do have to say that it looks pretty dull in the pic, but there is more "life" to it IRL! Here's our sketch...

Floral thank you - TMS #607
Happy Tuesday to you! It's time for Tuesday Morning Sketches!
I'm using my layering flower stamps again! Actually, these were all in my little container where I store my "extras" when I stamp, so it was easy to pull them out, arrange them, and adhere them. I dry embossed the main panel with Darice Crackle. I inked the edge of all the pieces. My sentiment is from My Pink Stamper Family & Friends. My original plan was to make this a sympathy card but couldn't find that sentiment that would fit properly.
Here's our sketch for this week...

A piece of my heart - TMS #606
Happy Tuesday to you! It's time for Tuesday Morning Sketches! This week, I've got 2 cards with this sketch. I had 2 ideas, tried both, and liked both. :)
Here' s the first card...
My DP is from my scrap box. My images and sentiment are from Papertrey Ink "Perfect Match." It's stamped in Catherin Pooler Rockin' Red.
My second idea was for snowflakes on a Christmas card...
The BG paper is American Crafts Jack Frost. My sentiment is from Raison Boast Merry Nature. My large snowflake is an EK Success punch and the smaller are a Martha Stewart punch.
Here's the sketch...

Birthday blessings - TMS #605
Happy Tuesday to you! It's time for Tuesday Morning Sketches! Here's my card for this week...
I think I must be getting in a creative rut. I tend to use the same stamps, dies, and embossing folders over and over again, and just noticed that this is the same DP I used 2 weeks ago for TMS #603. Oh well! Still not sure who made it. ;) My mat, rectangles, and rose are DCWV Hippie Chic all cut with Spellbinders A2 Matting Basics. My flower is Die-Namites Rosy Rose. My sentiment is from Sweet N Sassy Pennant Party and cut with Kat Scrappiness Stitched Fishtail Banners.
Here's our awesome sketch...

Do you want to throw a snowball? - TMS #604
Happy Tuesday to you! It's time for Tuesday Morning Sketches! As the weather is getting warmer, I've got a wintery card to share. LOL
My DP is the Paper Studio Pine St Square. My image is a pre colored digi "Emma & the Snowball" from Fred, She Said. Doesn't she look like she's ready to hit someone with that snowball??!? My sentiment is Raisin Boat. It's cut out with a fishtail banner from Spellbinders Lacey Pennants. My ricrac is MFT Die-namics Stitched RicRac.
Here's our fun sketch... (I missed the bow element! Oops!)

Merry Christmas to you - SCC #124
Good moring! It is a new month and time for a new challenge at Sparkles Christmas Challenges!
This month, our theme is "use a tag." Here's my card with a tag...
I made the black card base using Recollections 110 lb cardstock. The embossed dotted panel was in my made-it-but-didn't-use-it container. LOL The poinsettia is Darice Poinsettia die. My greenery is Spellbinders Foliage and a MS punch. My clear sentiment is from Simon Says Stamps Build a Snowman and was cut out with Simon Says Stamp Tiny Tags. It is tied with some twine from my stash.
Here you can see the sparkle on the poinsettia. It's so pretty IRL!!
We're 1/3 of the way through 2021, so get working on those cards for Christmas! :D If you do, come over and play along at Sparkles Christmas Challenges!
Thanks for stopping by and have a blessed day!
