OMG Card - TMS #599

Hello! Can you believe it's the last Tuesday of the month? March just flew by! I hope you will have time to play along with us this week at Tuesday Morning Sketches. This weeks sketch was designed by me and I would love to see how you use it! My card was made for my niece who is a junior in high school. She recently received a couple of leadership honors and a card was definitely needed. I used the fun OMG stamp set by Reverse Confetti along with the coordinating die. Her school colors are red, black and white, so I tried to stick as close to those colors as possible. I went through every paper pad I had until I found the star paper from an American Crafts paper pad called Little by Little (2016). It has extra colors, but I thought it worked well. 😊 The design team did a fantastic job and you can click HERE to see their work and all the challenge details. I hope you're inspired to join us this week and don't forget to link your card by 8 pm EST on Sunday. Thanks for stopping by and enjoy your day!

Simple Easter Cards

Good day! There was a lot going on this past month and I have successfully procrastinated on making my Easter Cards. Since time is now an issue, I'm making several Simple Easter Cards. A pretty floral patterned paper accented with coordinating polka dots along with a bold Happy Easter die cut by Reverse Confetti came together quickly. Then I decided to stamp the cute little rabbit from the Hop Into Spring stamp set by Reverse Confetti and used the coordinating die cuts. The little rabbit was centered above the sentiment and that's it. Thanks for stopping by and enjoy the rest of your day!  

Birthday Card - TMS #598

Hello! Are you ready to play along with another sketch at Tuesday Morning Sketches? This weeks sketch is designed by Melissa Craig and we would love for you to give it a try. I ventured away from my creative process this week and did something a little different. Instead of picking patterned paper that I love to start my card, I picked a piece from a paper pad that I truly don't know why I bought. Then I found the gray polka dot border in a package that had been forgotten. I matched the cardstock and decided to use the Happy Birthday die. The final decision was what to do with the postage stamp element, I decided to use a subtle stamp with a coordinating ink color. That's it! This card is definitely different than most of my makes. The design team did a fantastic job! To view their designs and for all the challenge details click HERE. Thanks for stopping by!

Happy Easter Card

Hello and happy Sunday! This morning I woke up determined to make a card for the Try Stampin' On Tuesday challenge before it closes today. I was waiting for my Hop Into Spring stamp set by Reverse Confetti to arrive in the mail and I got it. So, I made this Happy Easter Card using the challenge sketch and large sentiment option. The Happy Easter die cut is also by Reverse Confetti and the tiny floral paper is from the Hoppy Easter paper pad by Doodlebug Design. Copic markers were used to color the images and they were die cut with the coordinating dies. That's it! Thanks for stopping by and enjoy the rest of your day.

Bunny Thinking of You Card

Good day! It's been gloomy outside today, so I stayed in my craft room and played. This Bunny Thinking of You Card is what I made. It features the Dottie Bunny stamp set from Unity Stamps and it was colored pink with Copic markers (RV11 & RV32). The patterned papers are from the Shine On paper pad by Amy Tangerine (American Crafts/2018) and that's it. 

Challenges entered:

• Animal Friends: Rabbits/Hares
• Paper Craft Crew: Critters
• Stinkin' Inkers: Hop To It   

I adore rabbits and this time of year there are so many cute things featuring this critter that I have to be careful to not go on a rabbit crazy shopping spree. How many rabbit stamps are too many?🐇🐇🐇🐇🐇🐇🐇🐇🐇🐇🐇🐇 Thanks for stopping by and enjoy the rest of your day! 

Mouse St. Patrick's Day Card

Happy St. Patrick's Day! Did you wear green today? It's one of my favorite colors, so I always embrace the wearing of the green. Although that's about the extent of my St. Patrick's Day celebrating. I don't drink, so no green beer for me!☘☘☘

This afternoon I made this Mouse St. Patrick's Day Card using a digital image called Little Shamrock Mouse that I found at Whimsy Stamps. It was colored with Copic markers and then die cut with a stitched circle die. The green patterned papers are from the Lots O' Luck paper pad by Doodlebug Design (2018). The black and white polka dots help break up all the green and I decided to add a little bit of gold glitter paper for some sparkle. A sentiment was the final touch and everything was adhered flat. This card is entered into the 2 Crafty Critter Crazies March Anything with a Critter challenge and Crafty Gals Corner Make It Green challenge. Thanks for stopping by!☘
