Bird Thinking of You Card

 
Happy Friday! I hope everyone had a great week. Mine went pretty fast and that is always a good thing. My card today was made for a sketch challenge at Created With Love Challenges. I love sketch challenges, it helps take the guess work out of where to start with your card design. This Bird Thinking of You card was made combining the sketch and colours from the weekly ColourQ challenge. I also used polka dotted paper to be included in the Use Your Stuff challenge. Three is usually my limit on combining challenges, any more than that and I'm never happy with the results. I hope you will play along at Created With Love Challenges!!! This week is a triple challenge week. Make sure you check out the other two challenges:

Bird Thinking of You Card Supplies:
  • Paper: White card stock, gumball green and basic gray card stock by Stampin' Up! / tropical blue and tan card stock by The Paper Studio / and polka dot patterned paper by My Mind's Eye.
  • Stamps: Birds Galore by Inkadinkado (97625), sentiment stamp by TPC Studio (Greetings ST93416), and Language of Friendship by Stampin' Up! (122752).

Great Birthday Card

It is evident that I have fallen behind on some of my favorite challenges. There are so many that it's hard to keep up. This afternoon I realized that I only had a few hours left to create a card for The Play Date Cafe's color splash challenge. Since I was pressed for time I went with my favorite glittered zebra patterned paper and created this Great Birthday Card. The splash of green is lucky limeade by Stampin' Up! and the bling is by Recollections.  Thanks for stopping by my blog!

Smallest Things Card

Good afternoon! I was sifting through the challenges on my desk and realized I needed to make a card for the CR84FN61 Color Challenge. I love color challenges and I love combining them with a sketch challenge. I found a wonderful sketch at My Favorite Things Wednesday Stamp Club Challenge. The two challenges worked really well together to create this Smallest Things Card.

Stained Glass Sympathy Card

Good morning! Today is another challenge at Created With Love Challenges. The theme is to create a sympathy card with a Bible verse. For my card I used the stained glass cross digital stamp from Sweet n' Sassy stamps. I colored the image with various Copic markers and used diamond Stickles to accent the cross. For the design of the card I wanted to keep it simple. The stained glass image is beautiful and I wanted the card to have a classic look. To create the decorative edges I used a Fiskars three petal corner punch on the black patterned paper by My Minds Eye. The iridescent white ribbon helps to soften the look and I used foam squares to adhere the center image. Thanks for stopping by my blog and I hope you will play along with the challenge.

Fancy Favor by Stampin' Up!


Once a month I meet with a Stampin' Up! club and we use the Big Shot to create our projects. Recently, we created a treat bag using the Fancy Favor Bigz die. The Bordering on Romance floral image was stamped on watercolor paper and we used stampin' write markers and the blending marker to color the image. The butterfly image was stamped with Papillon Potpourri and punched with the Elegant Butterfly punch. We also used the Itty Bitty Banners and Framelits Dies and stampin' dimensionals. It turned out really pretty. We also created a small matching enclosure card and envelope using the Simply Scored Scoring Tool. Thanks for stopping by my blog and have a crafty day!

Caring Thoughts Card

Fall continues to be on my mind, it can't get here soon enough. I love the sound of crunching leaves beneath my feet. My husband laughs at me because I walk through leaf pills just to hear the crunching noise. Unfortunately, with our really hot dry summer the leaves have already started to fall here in Oklahoma. It looks like we won't have a pretty display of colorful leaves this year. The trees are turning from green to brown.

Now, onto the card that you stopped by to see. This Caring Thoughts Card was made using this weeks Freshly Made Sketch designed by Jen Mitchell. I was inspired by Allisa Chilton's Thanksgiving card that features some really pretty stamped leaves. The smaller leaves on my card were punched with a Creative Memories punch. The larger leaf was part of a package of die cuts.  Thanks for stopping by my blog!

Caring Thoughts Card Supplies:
  • Paper: Brown card stock, pumpkin card stock, yellow card stock, and patterned paper by Creative Imaginations (Samantha Walker designs). 
  • Stamps: Hero Arts, CL476 With Sympathy.
  • Inks: ColorBox chalk ink in chestnut roan.
  • Other Stuff: Orchard harvest die cuts (28569) by Creative Imaginations, leaf punch by Creative Memories, brown colored pencil, and stampin' dimensionals.

Stop and Smell the Coffee Card


Oh! COFFEE..... where do I start? I could probably write a book about my love for coffee, but you came to my blog to see a card. This Stop and Smell the Coffee Card was made using a digital stamp by Bugaboo Stamps. I used the Stella Says Sketch challenge at Catch The Bug to create this card. You probably noticed that I did a little distressing, which is not something I do often, but I saw a lot of it at the CKC Convention over the weekend and thought I would give it a try. Thanks for stopping by my blog and have a crafty day!

Un"frog"etable Card

I'm running a little behind entering my usual challenges. I guess I'll go with the saying that it's better late than never. The theme challenge at CAS-ual Fridays: Splish Splash prompted me to create this Un"frog"etable Card. I couldn't resist using this cute frog image and sentiment from Rubbernecker Stamps. I colored the frog with stampin' write and Copic markers. For the water I sponged on two different blue colors and then went over it with tahitian colored twinkling H2O's to give the water a little shimmer. I fussy cut the frog image and adhered with dimensionals. Twinkling H2O's is a product I saw demonstrated at the CKC convention. You use it with water and a paint brush. I really like the subtle shimmer it adds. Thanks for stopping by my blog.

Have a Cherry Day Card


Well, yesterday was a whirlwind of various classes at the CKC Scrapbook Convention in Tulsa, Oklahoma. This was the first time for me to attend the convention. I took several classes and did a little shopping. Here is the Have a Cherry Day Card I made during the Artful Card Creations class. We used a Hot Off the Press kit to create this card, which I never do, but it is a quick way to make multiple cards. I love the colors and the class was a lot of fun.

Cat Thinking of You Card

There are two things I obviously can't do well together and they are watch the final Olympics ceremony and make a card. Therefore, this Cat Thinking of You Card took much longer to finish than normal. I created this card for the Four Legged Friends challenge at the DYSU Challenge Blog.

Triple Butterfly Card

Two of my favorite colors are included in the CR84FN color challenge. Those colors are purple and green, so of course I had to play along. I knew I wanted to use butterflies and the blue zebra patterned paper. This triple butterfly card design evolved from my first idea. I originally had the zebra paper turned horizontally but, I just didn't like it. After I played around a bit and added some twine, this is how it ended up.
