Anniversary Card

I made this card for my daughter and her husband's 10th anniversary coming up April 2nd. I've had this Verve image awhile (it's hers), and I knew I wanted to use it for this card. I colored the image with Prismacolor pencils and Gamsol, and raised it up on diminsionals. I used Kaisercraft pearls over the image pearls around her neck. Isn't that a cute look! I cut the image out with Nesties Ovals. I used a MS corner punch on the corners of the BasicGrey dp. The cs is Stampin'Up. The ribbon is Offray, and the larger pearls are Kaisercraft. I used the green cs inside the card and punched the corners of it as well. Don't have a message/sentiment inside yet, as Kerri looks at my blog.

This card fits Cute Card Thursday's Theme Happy Anniversary (#104) and the sketch follows Sketch and  Stash #31.

Thanks a bunch for lookin'. Think my daughter and husband will like the card?

Cute Card Thurs #100, MAWTT #33, CCEE1007

This card was made for two challenges, but then i realized that it fit 3. But then I read MAWTT again after I made the card, and it was supposed to have "Mom" on it. I think I spaced that because I lost my mom 30 years ago. So it's a birthday card... but Mom could take the cake as well :-)

I used MAWTT's challenge #33, Sketch and Theme, combined it with Cute Card Thurs #100, to use Metal, and it fit CCEE 1007, something "sweet", and cake is sweet!

The image is Whipper Snapper. I colored it with Prisma color pencils and Gamsol. I layered brown, pink and yellow with BG's Sugared. I put little metal hinges on each end of the long layer, and metal brads on the image. The flower(s) are Prima with a metal brad in the center.

That's about it. No Nesties were used on this card :-). The yellow and pink cs are SU, and the brown is DCWV. Thanks a bunch for lookin'!

CPS111, Cute Card Thursday #55

This card combines CPS111 with Cute Card Thursday #55 to use pink and brown. All paper is from my stash (don't know what it is!). There is a light designer paper that has the pinks and a light brown in it. I used it on top of the cinnimin colored brown cs, layered again with it and a pink cs, layered the pink sc with the ds paper and one rectangle of the brown. All the rectangles are popped up with foam dots. I cut the phrase/image out as well after cutting it with Nestabilities. The image is colored with Copics. I also stitched the dp onto the cs with brown thread. There is a dark brown ribbon from Offray angled behind the image and rectangles.

That's it! Thanks a bunch for lookin'!

Cute Card Thursday #54

This Cute Card Thursday was a color challenge to use citrus colors: hot pink, lime, lemon and orange. I used a hot pink cardstock as the background base of the card (unknown cardstock). The dp is Basic Grey Urban Prairie as are the frog and butterfly. I cut the frog, butterfly and flowers from Cuttlebug dies I have. I layered the flower on the right and topped it with a button. I layered the middle card by using orange in the center. I used a yellow (lemon) ribbon and yellow Kaiser pearls in the upper left corner. I put small black Kaiser pearls for the frog's eyes and the spots on his back. I cut the butterfly twice and layered it to look like it's flying. I placed the flowers over flowers on the dp. The frog is "sitting" on another flower. All the colors are on this card. I rarely use my cuttlebug dies, so this was fun!

Thanks a bunch for lookin'!

Friday Sketchers #45, Cute Card Thursday #53

This card was made for Cute Card Thursday #53, to make a card for a family member. This is for my hubby just 'cuz! I used Friday Sketchers #45 for my guide. I used blue DCWV, and the pink and green are from Basic Grey. The image is Great Impressions. I colored it with Copics. I sponged the background of the image with chalk, blue and green. The sentiment is from SU. The flower is Prima and the button is a guess :). I finished it with a pink gingham ribbon and attached the sentiment with a spiral clip. That's it! Pretty simple

Basic Grey #26

Good Friday morning, folks! My husband was out of town yesterday, so I gathered up my card making materials and took them to the family room to be close to my mum-in-law and to watch the NCAA basketball championship games. I was very productive! I made the following cards for various challenges for this past week. Hope you enjoy looking at them as much as I enjoyed making them!

Basic Grey #26 no square corners

This card was made for Basic Grey's challenge not to use any pointed or square corners. The card was made with BG's Two Scoops. I put the yellow paper behind the image after cutting it with Nestabilities circle scallops. The image is also cut with Nesties circle. I used a Fiskers corner punch on the main panel corners and used my corner rounder on the cardstock for the card body. The stamp is Fluffles the Cat from Stampendous. I colored the image with Copic markers. Embellishments are ribbon, a spiral clip, Prima flowers and Latte pearls from Kaiser. It's a simple card, but I think it turned out really cute!

Mojo Monday #78

This card was for the Mojo Monday sketch challenge #78. Again, I used Basic Grey Cupcake for my background paper. The image is from SU (I think... it's from my daughter's collection). I colored the image with Copics and tied a short piece of ribbon in a knot and glued it onto the image. The pale blue is sponged on using my chalk. I haven't sponged with chalk before, and I really like the results! I used two strips of ribbon because it's pretty narrow, and doubled the bow. I used Kaiser pearls in Latte to complete the card. What do you think???

My Favorie Things Sketch Challege #73

This was probably the most fun card I made. I wanted to use this ribbon, so I colored the awning red and left part of it white. I colored the dress blue and the suit red and pink, giving her red boots. I love the look of a white card with dry embossing, so I used my CB Swiss Dots embossing folder on the background and also on the phrase. The phrase is cut out with my narrow rectangle Nesties scallop, but it's hard to see. I raised the image panel on foam dots, glued the top of the awning to the background panel and raised it again at the front on foam dots to give it a 3-D look. I had to use cotton on the poodle. I may have gotten a wee bit too much... what do you think? I finished the card with three Kaiser red pearls. I colored it all with Copics. So, what do you think? I think it's pretty cute myself :)

Cute Card Thursday #52 - a recipe

This card was made for yesterday's Cute Card Thursday. The recipe was to use something torn or ripped, two papers and four embellishments. I ripped/tore the image and ruffled the edges. I used a brown chalk around the edges as well. I colored the image with Copics. The image is from SU, my daughter's collection. My embellishments are two flowers (Prima) stacked with a brad in the center (that's 3) and a ribbon through the sentiment (that makes 4). The paper is from Basic Grey's Infuse. I also punched the bottom of the floral dp with a border punch, but it doesn't show up very well. I thought it turned out pretty cute for such a limited card. What do you think?

Penny Black Sketch Challenge #40

Clean and Simple 05 (blue and green)

As simple as this card is, I think it turned out really cute! But I love the colors together. The image is Penny Black, colored with Copics, and sponged with chalk (told you I liked the results!). There is a green ribbon behind the image, but it got hidden with the Prima flowers. I popped the image up on foam squares. The image is cut out using Nesties ovals and scallops. I used silver brads in the corners. This could definitely be a CAS card!

Hey, thanks a bunch for lookin'! I'll have to make some more during the tournament again today! :)

It's still love ABC Anniversary Challenge

Hey there! It's Wednesday and a beautiful day today in Northern Fla! I made this card for 3 challenges, actually. I used today's SCS sketch challenge215 as my guide, I made an anniversary card for today's ABC - A = Anniversary, and I used metal for last Thursday's cute card challenge to use some metal :-).

I used green cardstock as the base of the card (over white), put hearts dp for the anniversary part, and used a House Mouse stamp for the cute part! I used blue (to go with the wheelbarrow) as a second layer for the sc, and paper pierced it. You can almost see it! Then I used red (to go with the flowers and heart dp) as the mat for the image. The image is colored with Prismacolor pencils and Gamsol. I used a double ribbon (again as part of the sc), and created a bow with the sheer ribbon and attached it with a metal clip. I popped out the image part (including red mat) on foam squares.

Thanks a bunch for lookin' and have a blessed Wednesday!
