Thankful For You

Hi Everyone!  I hope you are keeping warm, and for anyone on the east coast, please stay safe.  My thoughts and prayers are with you.  Here is the card I created for this weeks Wednesday Sketch Challenge at MFT. 

 

 

I used the cute PI Pumpkin Patch Girl stamp set for this card.  I colored her with my Spectrum Noir markers on Ultra Smooth Premium Cardstock by Crafter's Companion.  The designer paper is from the Autumn Spice collection by Lily Bee Designs.   The flower and sentiment banner are cut from the Flower and Leaf Trio and Sentiment Strips Die-Namics.  I added Stickles in Orange Peel to give the pumpkins a little extra bling. 

 

 

I finished the inside with the same materials as the outside of the card.  I hope you like this little fall card I whipped up for the challenge over at MFT.  Have a wonderful week!



Bounty of the Season

Hi everyone!  I just got back from a wonderful scrapbooking and card making weekend with friends.  It was just wonderful!  I created this card for this Weeks Sketch challenge at TSG.

I used the Bountiful Blessings TSG stamp set, and paper from the Autumn Spice line by Lily Bee Designs.  The stamp is colored in with my Spectrum Noir Markers on Ultra Smooth Premium Cardstock by Crafter's Companion.  I added a little Stickles in Diamond to make it sparkle. 

 

The inside is finished using the same materials.  Thank you so much for droping by and viewing my blog.  Have a great week!

Best Witches

I made this card for the sketch challenge this week over at MFT (MFTWSC94).  I used the Little Witch stamp set for this card along with the Spider Web sentiments.

 

The DP I used is from DCWV Bewitched.  I used my Spectrum Noir markers to color parts of the witch in, and then paper pieced her dress and hat.  I then fussy cut her out and adhered her with pop dots to maker her stand out from the background.  I embossed the plain orange cardstock with my Swiss dots folder to make it stand out a bit.

 



The inside was finished with the same materials.  I added the sentiment to the inside, and left some blank space for a personal message.  I hope all of you enjoy this card.  Have a wonderful week, and as always, stay crafty!

Happy Halloween!

Hi everyone!  After a super long hiatus, I am back doing what I love again.  I apologize for my long absence. I was struggling with some personal things for the last month, and really just needed to focus on getting myself back to myself so to speak.  I am so happy to say my first project back is for this weeks Challenge #177 over at There She Goes.

 I got to use one of my favorite Halloween sets "Bugs and Hisses" from TSG.  The DP is "Black Widow" from We R Memory Keepers.  I used my Tim Holtz Distress inks in Spiced Marmalade, Dusty Concord, Wild Honey and Shabby Shutters to ink up a spooky background.  The twine is Halloween twine from Doodlebug. 

Of course, none of my cards would be complete without a little bling.  I used orange peel stickles for the tree and ghosts.  The sentiment was inked in white pigment ink, and then heat embossed with some glitter embossing powder.  I thought it gave it a spooky iridescent look.

 

I finished the inside with another cute stamp and sentiment from the same set.  I hope all of you enjoy my card.  I promise there will be plenty more to come now that I am feeling better.  Have a wonderful fall weekend, and as always stay crafty!

Let's Eat Cake!

I created this card for the SSSC166 challenge.  My dads birthday is coming up at the end of this month, and I thought this would be the perfect opportunity to make his card.

I used stamps from the Simple Stories and Unity Happy Day set called "Life's Short... Eat Cake".  I stamped the cake in Distress Ink Spiced Marmalade.  The sentiment is stamped in Distress Ink  Tumbled Glass.  The papers I used are from MME Follow Your Heart Be Amazing collection.  I really wanted to keep this card simple and masculine for my dad, but I had to add a little flair with Stickles on the cake and a Spellbinders Picot Circles Die.  The banners are canvas banners from Prima.  The burlap twine is from MME.  I machine stitched around the papers with white thread.

 

The inside is finished with all of the same materials as the outside.  I left a little area blank for adding a personal message.  I hope you enjoy this card.  Please leave comments or questions below.  I always love hearing from you.  Have a wonderful Labor Day, and as always, stay crafty!

Welcome Fall

I created this card for the Wednesday Sketch Challenge (MFTWSC87) over at MFT.  I just love this little ALM stamp.  It makes me long for crisp weather and the leaves turning colors.

I stamped on to Ultra Smooth Premium cardstock from Crafter's Companion with Versafine Onyx Black ink.  I then colored her using my Spectrum Noir markers.  The paper collection is an oldie but goodie from We R Memory Keepers called Autumn Splendor.  This is one of my favorite fall collections of all time, so I bought a lot when it came out last year, lol!  The scallop border, layered rose, and mini tab are Die-Namics from MFT.  I tied the button off with natural twine from the Prairie Trims kit at Montana Misfits.  I used brown thread to do a messy machine stitch around my papers.  Last but not least I added a little sparkle to the pumpkin using Stickles in Orange Peel.

 

I finished the inside with the same materials as the outside.  I added another little sentiment, and left the rest blank for a personal message.

 





I hope you enjoy this little card, and start welcoming fall!  Please leave any comments or questions below.  I always love hearing from you!  Happy Labor Day Weekend, and as always stay crafty!

Poppies!

Today I am featuring a card I made for the TSG171 sketch challenge.  I used a set that I have had around for a while, but it is still one of my favorites. 

I used some papers from Basic Gray's Paper Cottage collection.  I stamped my image on Ultra Smooth Premium cardstock from Crafter's Companion.  The image is colored using my Spectrum Noir markers.  The natural linen weft is from Montana Misfits Prairie Trims kit.  I used my sewing machine to do some messy stitching in brown thread.   To finish it off, I added a little sparkle to the butterfly and the Poppy in the sentiment with some Stickles in Diamond.

The inside is finished using the same materials.  I added a sentiment and left a blank area for a personal message.

I hope you enjoy the card.  Please leave any questions or comments below.  I always love to hear from you!  Enjoy this wonderful holiday weekend, and as always, stay crafty!
