On My Mind Card with Bear

Hello! This evening I made this On My Mind Card with Bear to send to a friend who lost her mother a couple of months ago. I sent a sympathy card but I think it's important to reach out again after all the shock has worn off and the true grieving starts. 

This card was made using the December 2020 Paper Pumpkin kit called Beary Comforting. The layout was created using parts of the kit and adding a matting piece of Soft Sea Foam cardstock. HERE is another card I made using the cute bear, it followed the kit directions. Everything was adhered flat for easy shipping and that's it. Thanks for stopping by and enjoy the rest of your day!

Love & Prayers Card - TMS #590

Well... it's Tuesday again and that means the start of another sketch at Tuesday Morning Sketches. This week we are revisiting Magreet's favorite sketch from April 28, 2020 and you can see the original post HERE. Can you tell I'm longing for Spring flowers? It's been gloomy for a few days, so I wanted to create something with color. The sketch was designed by Melissa Craig and the design team created some wonderful inspiration. We would love for you to join us this week! Click HERE for all the challenge details and design team inspiration. The deadline to link your creation is 8 pm EST on Sunday. Thanks for stopping by and enjoy the rest of your day!

Purple Flower Card

Hello and happy Friday! While recently cleaning my crafty space I got distracted with a stencil. It was found between some patterned papers which wasn't where it belonged. Earlier I had found this purple flower and it was already colored just waiting to be used. So, I made a quick background and created this Purple Flower Card. The flower is from a retired stamp set by Stampin' Up! called You've Got This and it was colored with Copic markers. A thinking of you sentiment and a blue butterfly from my stash were added and this card came together quickly. This Purple Flower Card is entered in the Simon Says Wednesday challenge to Make Your Own Background and Anything Goes challenge at Word Art Wednesday. Thanks for stopping by and have a wonderful day!

Sending Happy Card

Good day! If you're a fan of Stampin' Up! then you probably know right now is the annual SALE-a-bration promotion. There is always wonderful free products with each $50 purchase. The paper on this Sending Happy Card is from one of the free dsp selections called Paper Blooms. It is designed to coordinate with the Pretty Perennials stamp set which I've used for the flower and sentiment. The yellow flower is certainly happy and it was adhered flat for easy shipping. That's it! A simple card that's easy to make. Thanks for stopping by and I hope you enjoy the rest of your day.  

Tall Heart Card - TMS #589

Hello! It's time to revisit another sketch from 2020 at Tuesday Morning Sketches and this week Debi picked one I designed. It was originally posted on March 10, 2020 challenge #545 and you can see that post HERE. The sketch is a tall and skinny design with simple elements, no fancy supplies needed. Feel free to make whatever size of tall and skinny card you prefer. Several years ago when I started making this size card I made them to fit into a #10 envelope, the finished size of this Tall Heart Card is 4" x 8 1/2". This was way before slimline border dies were a thing. It's a nice size to break up the routine and do something different. I would love for you to give it a try and join us this week at Tuesday Morning Sketches. To view all the wonderful design team inspiration and for all the challenge details click HERE. You have until 8 pm EST on Sunday to link your creation. 

This Tall Heart Card features papers from the new Cupid & Co. paper pad by Echo Park. The heart image was made using a Hero Arts stamp and the Love You die cuts were made using dies from Momenta. That's it! Thanks for stopping by and enjoy the rest of your day!

Hedgie Birthday Card

Hooray for Friday! 😊 Although my hubby had his hair cut on Tuesday and Thursday he got a text from the lady who cut his hair, she tested positive for Covid. They were both wearing masks, but he is now on quarantine at home. We are praying he doesn't get it!

I made another birthday card to play along with the 11th Birthday Bash at Catch The Bug. This Hedgie Birthday Card is for day 4 which is a bingo challenge. I used the middle row across: die cut, Bugaboo image, 3 layers. The papers might look familiar... I used the boy colors on the card posted on Monday. I arranged the papers the same but changed the image shape and sentiment placement. I think it turned out pretty cute! This card is also entered into the Anything Goes challenge at Aud Sentiments. Thanks for stopping by and enjoy your day.

Owl Birthday Card

Happy Wednesday! I have a quick post to share this Owl Birthday Card that I made using the Birthday Bash Sketch at Catch The Bug. The image is called Cute Owl by Bugaboo Stamps and it was colored with Copic markers. Since the image has flowers I decided on floral paper from the Sunshine and Blue Skies paper pad by Simple Stories (2019) along with a blue polka dot by Bo Bunny. Everything was adhered flat and the sentiment is from a retired Stampin' Up! set called Avant-Garden. I'm also entering this card in the All About Occasions challenge at Watercooler Wednesday. That's it! Thanks for stopping by and enjoy the rest of your day.
