A Viva La Verve Sketch

Hello everyone, I have a card to share that I made following a sketch

at Viva La Verve, you all know I love to follow sketches.

The deadline is later today so I am running right on the edge with posting this.

Here is the sketch

And here is my card following the sketch.

The papers are all from the Graphic45 By the Sea paper stack.  This is my first and only Graphic 45 paper. but I am sure it won't be my last.  I love the patterns on the papers.

I added some Mt Minds Eye brads and stamped the sentiment with a Verve stamp.

Thanks so much for stopping by.  Off to finish up another card for Viva La Verve sketches.

Mojo Monday #347

Hi, I am back to share another Mojo Monday card with you.

Here is this weeks sketch #347

I made mine a little taller than this looks.

It measures 8 by 3.5. 

 The papers I used are from DCWV Flower Shower and K&Company Best of Stack.

The oval is stamped with my new set of Just Rite stamps.  I colored the cake using my Copic markers, cut it out then pop dotted it on top.

Thanks for stopping by and you still have a couple days to get in on the fun at Mojo Monday.

Mojo Monday Sketch 346

Hello, I back to share another Mojo Monday card with you.

I love to follow sketches so try to play along on Monday's when I can.

The background paper pack is from the DCWV French Country paper stack that I got at Michaels a couple weeks ago for $5 and it is a full 12 x 12 stack.

I stamped the sentiment using an old Stampin Up stamp and heat embossed.

I cut the ribbon banner using my Cameo, and added some lace border along the edge.

Thanks for stopping by and you still have a couple days if you want to join in the fun at Mojo Monday this week. 

A few more birthday cards

Hello everyone, boy I am on a roll clearing out my waiting to post basket, I told you I was behind on posting.  LOL

Today I have 3 more birthday cards to share with you.

Birthday Greetings

Lots of different texture and embossing on this card.  The background paper is pearl off white that I embossed using my butterfly embossing folder and my eBosser.  The center image I got off of Google and cut out. Sorry I stand corrected I actually got this image off of Pinterest.

Fabric buttons

A while back I bought a package of embellishments from Michael's dollar bin.  I loved the bright colors and have had it sitting on my desk waiting to use it.  Well FINALLY months later I did use it on a card.  The three buttons are covered with fabric and the pink rick-rack behind them also came in that embellishment package.  The happy birthday I cut using a new die I recently bought.

Spring Chicken

I love chicken things and have a collection of different ones on top of my kitchen cabinet, so when I saw this stamp set at Mark's Finest I just had to get it, not to mention the humor behind it.  I embossed the background with my chicken wire embossing folder.  I stamped the chickens in colors to match the paper, then stamped the chicken wire over the top of them with my Versa Mark stamp pad.

This one you have to see the inside also.

I thought this was funny, now I have to figure out who to send it to that would not be offended.

Thanks for stopping by again, will keep working on that basket of cards. 

Party Pig

Hello everyone, I have a fun card to share with you today.

I was challenged to make an animal shaped card so this is what I came  up with.

The pig is from the Animal Kingdom cartridge.  I "highlighted" the cut marking with ink to make them stand out a bit more..  Stamped a sentiment then embossed it like the pig and mounted on the front.

  Using Cricut Craft room I welded two pigs together at the top to make it into a card.  The inside sentiment is computer generated.  

Well thanks for stopping by, I hope enjoy my fun card.

Thank you strawberries

Hello everyone, hope everyone will have a great weekend of crafting.

Today I have a cute thank you card to share with you.

The papers I used are from the DCWV Nana's Nursery stack.  I cut the strawberries from the Preserves cartridge, then covered them with Crystal Lacquer.  The sentiment is a Gina K stamp.

Thanks so much for stopping by, I will try and continue to do some more posting to clear out my "waiting to post" basket.

Some birthday cards to share

Hello everyone, I am so far behind in posting on my blog that I thought I would share with you a few birthday cards I have made over the past couple of months.

I keep my cards in a basket till I post them before putting them away in my stash boxes so I can keep track of which ones I have posted.  Well my basket is getting a bit full so I thought I would do a group post.

First one "a little birdie told me"

The stamp is one of CTMH stamps of the month from last year.  I had the birdie bling for a while and decided it was time to use it.

Make a Wish

This one is nice and shiny. The background chevron paper is glossy and all the banners are glitter paper.  The make a wish is a DavidTutera sticker.

Birthday clouds

I tried to make this one look a bit like the grass and the sky so I used my Darcie clouds embossing folder.  The happy birthday I "wrote" using one of my Silhouette sketch pens.

Happy birthday wishes.

This one is pretty bright and cheery.  Lots of spots and embossing.  I put a piece of washi tape on a strip of white card stock and slipped it through a CTMH metal slide.  The center is a Rubberneceker stamp.

Well that's it for today.  Will try and come back tomorrow and share some more cards with you. 

Thanks so much for stopping by.

Mojo Monday #344 - Celebrate

Hello everyone, I have another Mojo Monday card to share with you today.

I made this one using the papers from the CTMH Tommy paper pack and coordinating canvas stickers.

I stamped the "celebrate" using CTMH tulip ink 3 times without re-inking the stamp to give it a faded effect.  I also used CTMH stitching stamp around the edges and that's it!

You still have time to join in the fun at Mojo Monday, thanks for stopping by.

A Baptism Card

Over the past weekend one of our great-granddaughters was baptised. 

Here is the card I created for this blessed event.

There is a lot of embossing on this.  All the papers are pearl white paper and the purple tones are also pearl.  I embossed the background with Design Objective folder, this folder is 8 1/2 by 11 in size and fits in my eBosser.  I love the larger size for making bigger cards.  The cross is cut using the Cricut New Testament cartridge.  I embossed it with a Cuttlebug folder, but did not want the pattern too deep so it would no clash with the background so I ran it through the Cuttlebug a second time putting it under the plates and not in the folder (hope this makes sense).  This way it flattened out the embossing a bit but left a slight impression.

The center is a resin flower from CTMH.  I stamped the sentiment with a GinaK stamp, the colors matched better is person than it does in the picture.

Here is the inside and the sentiment is computer generated. 

This week at Sentimental Sunday the challenge is to use embossing wet or dry, I have used both on this card.  The sentiment is heat embossed.

Thanks for stopping by today, I hope you enjoy my card.
