Sweet Sunday Sketch#68

I love this week's Sunday Sketch Challenge! Those clean lines are just up my alley :) I saw a few people use faux-stitching and I really liked it, so I thought I'd do it too:) When I first cut my pp pieces I thought they were too small and now that's it done I realize it was probably better the way it was. Ah well, an excuse to make another one:)


Supplies:
-whisper white and old olive cardstock
-old olive DSP
-white gel pen
-versamark, white embossing powder
-"Thoughts and Prayers" and "Whimsical Words"

Thanks for stopping by!

Mojo Monday #137

It's funny how sometimes as soon as you see a sketch an idea pops into your head right away and others it takes days to figure out what you want to make. This was a quick one for me. I really like this week's sketch and this is what I came up with.


Supplies:
-melon mambo, whisper white, basic black, pumpkin pie, and taken with teal cardstock
-Welcome Neighbour and Sweet Pea DSP
-basic black ink
-pink thread
-"Happy Moments" stamp set from SU!

Bright Sunday Morning

Well it's been awhile since I've spent much time in my craft room. I've been loving spending some time outside with the nice weather we've been having. In fact I had plans to work on my garden this weekend, but seeing as I'm feeling a tad bit under the weather I decided to hang out inside instead. I used a couple of challenges this morning. I love the current embellish challenge! The colours are so bright and cheerful! I wouldn't normally choose these colours together, but they look pretty good:) I had to get a card made for next Sunday morning and when I saw the current Card Patterns sketch I thought it would be perfect for an acetate card. I love acetate cards and I hope the recipient of this one does too:)



I'm digging the embossed layer behind the circle, but the bow is not doing it for me, I might have to change it to a knot instead

Supplies:
-taken with teal, summer sun, whisper white, and garden green cs
-basic black, and melon mambo ink
-white organza ribbon
-SU! Little Leaves Sizzlit die
-flower embossing folder
-"For All You Do" and "Vintage Vogue" stamp sets
-Staz-on white
-acetate
-dimensionals, white brads, mini dots

Brayer Crazy!

I love what people have been doing with their brayers. Some of their backgrounds are incredible! I couldn't wait to get a brayer of my own. It finally came and with some practice (well...a lot of practice) I think I've got the hang of it. Here's a couple of cards I made recently using it:


Supplies:
-basic black, whisper white cs
-Good Morning Sunshine DSP
-twine
-crushed curry, pumpkin pie, dusty durango ink
-"Kind and Caring Thoughts" stamp set
-black embossing powder



Supplies:
-basic black, whisper white cs
-black embossing powder
-tempting turquoise, whisper white, not quite navy ink
-snowflake embossing folder

Sweet Sunday Sketch #65

Yay, for Sundays spent in my craft room!:) I got a few cards made yesterday which is good seeing as I'm hoping to sell some at the Farmer's Market this year (better get my but in gear!) The first one I made using this week's sweet sunday sketch challenge. I love these sketches, they are a great jumping point and everyone's cards are great inspiration! I knew I wanted to use my "Great Friend" Stamp set on this one and decided to make a small square card. (4.5 x 4.5)



Supplies:
-very vanilla, chocolate chip and melon mambo cs
-scalloped trim border punch
-Good Morning Sunshine DSP (currently on the clearance rack at SU!)
-very vanilla satin ribbon
-melon mambo and basic black ink

It's always nice to have generic cards on hand that can be given for any occasion:)

I stole the idea for this next card from Mary Fish. I saw her us the bird from the "Sweetheart" stamp set with buttons not too long ago and was super excited! I've been coveting other company's stamp sets that intentionally use buttons, but have never thought to look at what SU! sets could be used that way. She managed to fit three of these cute little birdies on her card (must have been bigger than the norm:) I used another sheet of the Good Morning Sunshine dsp on this one, isn't it perfect!


Supplies:
-basic gray, whisper white, melon mambo, not quite navy cs
-good morning sunshine dsp
-pretty in pink satin ribbon
-pink buttons from stash
-scalloped edge punch
-circle punches
-"Sweetheart" and "Pun Fun" stamp sets from SU!

Mojo Monday #134

Alright, I'm back on track:) I finally got a Mojo Monday card done again before the weekend:) My card is a pretty loose interpretation of this week's sketch, but I did use it for inspiration:) I've seen quite a few quilt cards out there using SU!'s top note die, and I really wanted to give it a go. I have the most christmas paper scraps, so even though it's April I made a holiday card.


I used some scraps from SU!'s "Merry Moments" DSP in order to make my quilt. Even though I didn't add any stitching I still think it looks cute:)

Supplies:
-real red, whisper white cs
-Merry Moments dsp
-snowflake punch
-snowflake embossing folder
-red satin ribbon
-real red ink
-"Delightful Decorations" from SU!

thanks for stopping by!
