You Are The Best

I have another card using Kendra's Card Challenge #22 today! Today's card uses Sketch #3! 

This is a fun sketch and one I think would be great for scraps! I used an old paper pad from 2011 for my papers today! I'm {this close} to using up this pad, My Mind's Eye Lime Twist Happy Go Lucky 6x6 Paper Pad.

I went with a sentiment only for today's card. Sometimes just a sentiment makes a great card!

Have the best day! Go do something for yourself and go get crafty!

Happy You're My Friend

I am entering this card into the Sweet November Stamps March Challenge in their Facebook group which is Anything Goes but if you have green on your card, you get a double entry.

I recently got the newly released Lottie Love stamp. She is just SO adorable!! I just love her! I paired her with some happy and bright papers from Doodlebug! She will also work for the rainbow challenge in my group since the papers are rainbow colors!

Have a delightful day! Go do something for yourself and go get crafty!

Challenge #4- Green | Tiki Gnomes

Today starts Challenge #4 in my Facebook group. Challenge #4 is a color challenge: Use Green!! I originally thought about making St. Patrick's Day cards, and I still might, but then decided to show some other "green" you could use.

I went with a Tiki theme for these cards to show that green is more than St. Patrick's Day!

I think the Build A Booth is one of my favorite dies from Jaded Blossom. It's just so versatile!

Have a wonderful day! Go do something for yourself and go get crafty!

Sending Happy Thoughts

I think the digital stamp, Rory from Sweet November Stamps is so darn cute! I just had to color her up!!

I remembered I had a background stamp, City Block Background, from MFT and I thought it would be perfect with Rory, I was right!!

I really wanted Rory to stand out so I kept the background/sidewalk or road neutral colors. I colored Rory with copics and used lots of fun bright colors!

To finish the card I found a sentiment in the Simon Says Stamp Tiny Words stamp set and die cut a little strip (I believe it was with a Simon Says Stamp sentiment strip die). I think Rory is definitely sending very happy thoughts!!

Have a happy day! Go do something for yourself and go get crafty!

Slow Ride

The Sweet November Stamps Facebook challenge for February is Anything Goes but you get double entries if you use a fairy. You can enter 3 times so this is my second entry!

I found the Slow Ride digital stamp in my collection and thought it was such a sweet image so I printed and colored it up. I had the papers fresh on my mind from the Cecily Fairy Card so I pulled them out for this card too but used a greenery pattern for the little bit of designer series paper that would show.

Have a wonderful day! Go do something for yourself and go get crafty!

I'm really enjoying using sketches a bit more this month so I thought I'd use Kendra's Card Challenge #2 for some cards! You can find out about Kendra's Card Challenge HERE!

Today I'm using Sketch 6! I am still trying to get some wedding cards created that I like. This one I think is closer to me liking it than some others I've created. It's very pink but since that's my favorite color, I didn't mind it.

Have a marvelous day! Go do something for yourself and go get crafty!

Wedding Cards Part 2

Here are a few more wedding cards I created. 

My first card uses the February 2020 SheetLoad of Cards. My sentiment was a bit bigger than the sketch so I altered it a bit.

Next I used the fun Simon Says Stamps Dot Scallop Border die along with pretty paper from Echo Park to create the design of the card.

I used the July 2019 SheetLoad of Cards for my layout! Once again my sentiment was larger than the sketch called for so I altered it a bit.

I used some pretty papers along with the great sentiment for the next card.

I felt like I could just keep going and creating these but needed to stop and do work on design team projects.

Have a wonderful day!! Go do something for yourself and go get crafty!

Wedding Cards Part 1

Today I'm sharing several wedding cards that I created. Several were for friends/family for my daughter's wedding so I'm posting this after her wedding so she doesn't see any of them ahead of time. I will have a part 2 as I just kept creating and didn't want this post to be too long.

The first one uses the March 2024 SheetLoad of Cards sketch!

My next card uses the October 2024 SheetLoad of Cards sketch!

Next I used the Happily Ever After die from Simon Says Stamp for my sentiment/focal point. I stamped a second sentiment on the inside. 

My next card uses a sketch I saved from a blog challenge that is no longer active.

The Wedded Bliss stamp set from Sunny Studio is just adorable!
