Cas(e) This Sketch 212

Hello - I am back again this time with a card for Cas(e) This Sketch 212.

Here is the sketch I followed:

I thought it was rather fun to have pretty paper be the focus of the card rather than a stamped image.

Designer paper is from Doodlebug Designs.

Hello die is from Simon Says Stamp. Sequins are from Pretty Pink Posh.

Thinking spring on this chilly day in Minnesota.

Thanks for stopping!

Tag You're It Challenge #55

Hello ! Happy Labor Day weekend! Finally had a moment to myself to make a tag. This one is for Tag You're It Challenge #55.
Here is the inspiration tag:

I was inspired to make a double tag. I love double tags -they are so much fun to make. From Melissa's design, I used some washi tape, a word and a rounded top tag.

The tag die is from Pretty Pink Posh, the ghost is a Cuttlebug die and the spooky word is from Lil Inker Designs. I thought the googly eyes added some fun dimension to the tag.

Thanks for stopping by today. Hope to see you again.
Enjoy the rest of your day!

Birthday cards!

Todays cards are birthday cards I made for two of my co workers who share a birthday today! The first card is for Dayle. She love horses so I colored the pony image to loosely resemble her pony! It's her 29th birthday, so I couldn't resist using my new number die cuts!

This adorable stamp is from Whipper Snapper. The number die cuts are from Sugar Pea Designs. Silly Stitched dies are from Lil Inker Designs. Image is colored with colored pencil. Sequins for sparkle.

Next is Linda's card. For this card I used the adorable Fairy set from Lawn Fawn.

I cut the tag (Simon Says Stamp) out of watercolor paper then stamped the images. I watercolored and used a little Wink of Stella marker. Silly stitched dies give a little texture.

Some pretty sequins from Pretty Pink Posh add some sparkle!

Thanks for visiting today!

See you next time!

Case this sketch # 168

Here is my entry for Case This Sketch challenge # 168.

For my card I used die cuts from Lil Inker Designs. Word bubbles and Stitched Mats. The word stamps are also from Lil Inker Designs.

I had this yearning to use kraft paper today. I really like how it goes with the olive color!
Sequins give just the right amount of bling to this card. They are quickly becoming my favorite embelishment!

Sequins are from Pretty Pink Posh. Thanks for checking out my blog today! I'd love it if you left me a comment! See you next time!

Color yourself!

Today's card I made just for fun. Feeling a little blue and out of sorts. Then I remembered I had this cute stamp that I had never inked up. Felt like just the perfect thing for today!

I cut a circle from watercolor paper, stamped the words and then embossed them. Next I took some blue Distress ink and made a splatter background, I then added some green and then a spritz of gold.

I cut the scallop circle from some gingham paper I had and then layered it onto a white panel.

Some pretty sequins for bling. I didn't have enough of the gingham paper so I made another card with different paper.

This card I used more blue ink.





















Funny how the same card can look so different by just changing a couple of things!

Here are the ingredients I used:

Scalloped die and the sequins are from Pretty Pink Posh. Stamp is from Inkadinkado!

Inspired by all the little things.....

I found another challenge blog! OH BOY! Lol Any reason at all to keep stamping! Inspired by all the little things!  The inspiration for this weeks challenge is this photo:

Love the colors and of course the succulents! Just back from a trip to Arizona, myself, I dug out this old Copper Creek collections stamp and made this card:

I watercolored the image. The dies are from Lil Inker Designs. I smudged the edges with some chalk ink. Then I added a few sequins and a bit of twine.

 

Thanks for visiting today.  I hope you will come by again soon!

Casology 190- Weather

 Back again with another challenge card. This one is for this week's Casology challenge. Cue card WEATHER.

I just happened to have the perfect stamp I have never inked up!

Here is my card:

Stamp is one of Unity Stamps, stamp of the week.  I just love owls. Unity Stamps has some of the cutest ones! I water colored the image. Scalloped circle die and sequins are from Pretty Pink Posh. The cloud die is from Lil Inker Designs border builder set. Patterned paper is also from Lil Inker.

I used some mounting tape to pop up the cloud and give some dimension.

Whatever the weather, owl always love you!

Thanks for stopping today!

Mojo Monday 440

Happy Monday! I am playing along with Mojo Monday today! My card today uses a new die cut I just got from Pretty Pink Posh.

I love the look of black and white. It just looks so clean and sharp!

 I think it works well with this sketch! 

Detail view:

The word die is from Simon says stamp. I cut the word out of white paper first and then out of black paper then adhered them together to make it a little more sturdy. I then popped it up with mounting tape for dimension.

Papers are from Lawn Fawn

Thanks for visiting!
