Happy Holidays for JUGS Photo Week

I was inspired by the cute buggy of presents and bows over at Just Us Girls this week and made this card for their challenge.

I love this cute set by Lawn Fawn Toboggan Together and used the penguin with his sled full of presents.  I stamped the presents twice and layered them.  The images are colored with Promarkers and die cut with the matching dies.  I embossed the white panel with SU Softly Falling EF and added a little torn strip for snow at the bottom. The images are mounted with foam tape.  The sentiment is from the same set and is stamped in MFT Electric Red, cut with an MFT die and mounted with foam tape.

Seize the Birthday - Tags

Hello friends. It is time for a new challenge at Seize the Birthday and this will be our last challenge until January 2019.  We are taking December off for the holidays and our families.

Our "Toppings" option this time is to use tag(s) on your card.

I sponged 3 shades of Distress Oxide Inks on my paper and die cut the MFT Stitched Traditional Tags die, and then added a thin black mat.  I also used an inked piece to stamp and die cut the flowers from MFT Wildflowers stamps and dies.  I used a darker yellow marker to give the flowers dimension and then colored the centers with a brown marker.  The leaves are colored with Copics.  The sentment is from SU Elemntary Elegance (retired).  I added a Baker's Twine bow to the top and mounted the tag and flowers with foam tape.  The white panel was stenciled with lt. green ink and MFT Small Brick Wall Stencil for a subtle background which also has a think black mat.

Be sure to check out all the fabulous cards by my teammates over at Seize the Birthday.  I hope you will be inspired to play along.

Thanks so much for stopping by.  I hope you have a wonderful day.

Happy Anniversary

Good Morning friends.  I am sharing an anniversary card I made for a couple at church.  I am linking it to The Flower Challenge - A Special Occasion.

I used the flowers from Gina K. Designs Stippled Flowers Bundle and colored them with Promarkers.  I then die cut them with the matching dies.  The sentiment is a Stampabilities stamp from Hobby Lobby.  The white panel is cut with MFT Diagonal Sentiment Strip Cover Up die.  These are mounted to a thick black card base.  The flowers are mounted with foam tape.  I added Wink of Stella clear glitter to the flowers - it shows up in the photo below.

Thanks so much for stopping by.  I hope you have a wonderful day.

Warm Holiday Wishes

Hello friends.  I am sharing a Christmas card I made using Julee's Mojo Monday Sketch 502. I was so glad to see that Julee started Mojo Monday sketches again.  I always enjoyed playing with her fun sketches.

I used these cute MFT Sweet Holiday Penguins stamps and dies and colored them with Promarkers.  I die cut them and mounted them with foam tape.  The sentiment is from an older Inkadinkadoo stamp set (Warm Holiday Wishes), stamped on an MFT Stitched Circle die cut.  I colored in the stars with a yellow marker.  The green script paper and red/white dotted paper is from MFT Candy Land 6x6 pad and the red and green stripe paper is from an older DCWV Christmas Matstack.  All the papers are matted with black and I used an older SU punch for the scallop border.

Thanks so much for stopping by.  I hope you have a wonderful day.

Happy Birthday to You for the Flower Challenge

Hello friends.  I am sharing a card I made for a friend at church.  Her favorite color is purple.  I am linking it up to The Flower Challenge - Special Occasion.  This happens to be her 50th birthday and that is a special occasion. :)

I used the Floral Frame by Neat and Tangled along with the matching die.  I stamped the images with Memento Tuxedo Black ink and colored them with Promarkers.  I die cut the floral frame and the inner panel and a few extra flowers.  The sentiment is stamped with SU Elegant Eggplant ink and glued to the pattern paper, from my stash.  I mounted the frame with foam tape and added the extra flowers.  I think she will like this card.

Thanks so much for stopping by.  I hope you have a wonderful day.

CAS for Seize the Birthday

Hello friends.  It is time for a new challenge at Seize the Birthday and this time our "Toppings Option" is to make it CAS (clean and simple).  Of course the only requirement is that it be for a birthday.  Hope to see you in our gallery.

For my card I stamped one of the flowers from Honey Bee Cosmos set  on a panel that I scored a half inch from each side.  I then colored it with Promarkers.  The sentiment is from Simon Says Stamp It's Your Birthday.   I made a mask for the flower and splatter some yellow and tan DI (to match the flower) over the panel and then mounted it on a thick white card base and my card was done.  It is really clean and simple, and quick too.

Be sure to check out what the Design Team at Seize the Birthday created for your inspiration and I hope you will play along with us.

Thanks so much for stopping by.  I hope you have a wonderful day.

Happy Stamping,
