Violet Thanks Card

Hello! I have a quick post to share this Violet Thanks Card I made using the Stella Says Sketch #809 challenge. Purple and green are my favorite colors and I love it when they are paired together. The Violet Watering Can image is digital and it's by Bugaboo Stamps and was colored with Copic markers. All the papers were sitting on my craft desk from other recent cards. You really can't go wrong with gingham and polka dots! The thanks sentiment is retired by Stampin' Up! and that's it. So glad you stopped by and enjoy the rest of your day!

Sketch #552:

 

Pretty Squirrel Card

Hello! I have a quick post to share this Pretty Squirrel Card I made. It features the Nibbles stamp by Unity Stamps and was colored with Copic markers. I adore squirrels and find them to be very entertaining! This card along with a donation will be sent to a local wildlife rehab facility called Wild Heart Ranch. They raise hundreds of orphaned or injured squirrels every year. I've been to their facility a few times and I truly admire the work they do for the wild critters. Thanks for stopping by and enjoy the rest of your day!

Beautiful Day Card

Hope you're having a Beautiful Day! Since Mother's Day will be here in a few weeks, I decided to start making a few card options. I recently purchased the new Cheerful Daisies stamp set by Sunny Studio Stamps and decided to use it to create this Beautiful Day Card. It was a lot of fun stamping all the images once I found the ink colors I wanted to use. The flower colors were inspired by a Gerber Daisy plant I rescued last year. Ink colors include: Guava by Lawn Fawn, Flirty Flamingo by Stampin' Up!, Sunflower by Lawn Fawn, Crushed Curry by Stampin' Up!, Jalapeno by Lawn Fawn and Call Me Clover by Stampin' Up!. The sentiment stamp is from the WPlus 9 Doodle Buds stamp set and the lattice background is from a Sunny Studio die called Frilly Frames Lattice. A little butterfly was added for extra detail and everything was adhered flat for easy shipping.

So glad you stopped by!

Noel Card - TMS #551

Welcome back to the start of another sketch challenge at Tuesday Morning Sketches. This card features a Noel image by Power Poppy and it was colored with Copic markers. It's unusual for me to make Christmas cards this early in the year, but the image worked well with the sketch so I went with it. Whatever occasion you need a card for we would love for you to join us this week and try this sketch designed by Debbie Foster. For all the challenge details and design team inspiration click HERE. Don't forget to link your creation by 8 pm EST on Sunday.

Happy Cake Day Card

Hello and happy Saturday! The sun is shining here and it looks like it's going to be a nice day. Our state is still under a shelter in place order, so I haven't left the house much lately. The hubby will take me on a drive for a few miles to get some sunshine but that's about it. Hopefully you are doing well!

This Happy Cake Day Card was made with my nieces in mind. Fun bright colors and a cute cat eating cake, because birthdays are all about the cake. The stamp set is called Newton Loves Cake by Newton's Nook and Copic markers were used to color the image. After coloring the images the coordinating dies were used to cut out them out. The background papers are from the Summer Splash paper pad by Pink & Main, three 1 1/4" circles were added along with a little strip of green scrap paper for extra detail. That's it! Everything was adhered flat for easy shipping. Thanks for stopping by and enjoy the rest of your day!

Floral Congratulations Card

Hello! I have a quick post to share this Floral Congratulations Card I made this afternoon. Hopefully I'll have a reason to use it sometime soon. The Knock on Wood challenge at Simon Says stamp is what prompted the design. I used patterned paper from the Pretty Things paper pad by MME and Old Olive cardstock by Stampin' Up! for the matting. The flowers are from the Everything is Rosy stamp set by Stampin' Up! and were die cut with the coordinating dies. Ink colors include: So Saffron, Crushed Curry, Crumb Cake and Old Olive. The congratulations sentiment is from Impression Obsession and everything was adhered flat for easy shipping. That's it! Thanks for stopping by and enjoy the rest of your day!
