Darkness Card - TMS #634

Well... it's time to say goodbye to November and it was a really rough month for me. Taking care of my hubby after his ankle reconstruction was a lot of hard work and sleepless nights. We go back to the doctor today and hopefully he will be able to put weight on his foot and walk again. I'm certainly ready to get back to a normal routine. 

I'm pretty sure I made this Darkness Card for myself using this weeks sketch at Tuesday Morning Sketches. The sketch is designed by Melissa Craig and I used it for a mini slimline card which is 3.5" x 6". The sentiment is from Unity Stamps and it's called A Certain Darkness. Some stars were stamped and heat embossed with Wow! Glow-in-the-Dark embossing powder along with punched stars for the sketch detail. The star paper is from a Halloween paper pad and everything was adhered flat. Well, we would love for you to join us this week.

Holiday Dearies Card

Hello! I hope you're having a great day. Today I'm sharing this Holiday Dearies Card I made using a stamp set from Unity Stamps. The deer were colored with Copic markers in varying brown tones. For this card I didn't want to use the traditional red and green, so I picked a blue patterned paper from the Snow Much Fun paper pad by Carta Bella (2019). The layout is very simple and everything was adhered flat for easy shipping. That's it! Thanks for stopping by!

Thanksgiving Owl Card - TMS #631

Oh my... the end of the year is going by way too fast!!! My hubby had ankle reconstruction surgery last Monday and taking care of him is a full-time job. Thankfully I still have time to make cards! 

This Thanksgiving Owl Card was made using this weeks sketch at Tuesday Morning Sketches. When I finished my Halloween cards I went straight to Christmas and left out Thanksgiving. So, I dug out the Bountiful Owl stamp set from Unity Stamps for this weeks sketch challenge. The design team created a variety of inspiration and we would love to see how you use the sketch. For all the challenge details and design team inspiration click HERE. Just remember to link your creation by 8 pm EST on Sunday. Thanks for stopping by!🦃

Christmas Frog Card

Hello crafty friends! If you're thinking that you've seen a card made with this image lately, then you are right I posted it (HERE) a couple of days ago. Since I had the Cuddlebug Frog stamp out I just had to make another Christmas Frog Card. The design for this card was cased from a card by Karen Maldonado. I love how she used a holly stamp at the top of the focal panel and her card is probably the reason I bought the stamp set. My holly stamp isn't as pretty but it's what I had, it's from the Happy Holly-Days stamp set by Stampin' Up!. The images were stamped with Memento black ink and colored with Copic markers. A die set by Newton's Nook called Frames & Flags was used to create the layers and that's it. Thanks for stopping by!🎄

Cuddlebug Frog Card - TMS #630

Good day! When it comes to making Christmas cards I tend to procraftinate, but I'm trying to do better. So, using this weeks sketch from Tuesday Morning Sketches I made this Cuddlebug Frog Card. The image is from Unity Stamps and was colored with Copic markers. When it came to patterned paper selection I promise you I went through every Christmas 6 x 6 paper pad I have and finally decided to cut into the 12 x 12 Painted Christmas dsp by Stampin' Up!. It just had the look I wanted and I love all the different shades of green. We would love for you to join us this week at Tuesday Morning Sketches! Just use the sketch for your creation and link up HERE by 8 pm EST on Sunday. The design team did a terrific job and I know they look forward to seeing what you create. Thanks for stopping by and enjoy the rest of your day! 🎄
