You Are The Only One For Me

 

Happy Friday my blogging friends.  Today I have a card I made for two challenges:
My Favorite Things WSC162 - here's the sketch.

And also for Classy Cards 'n Such #16 - Think Pink

Here is my card

The card base and mats are MFT Natural CS. The SU Blushing Bride panel is embossed with Cuttlebug Cross My Heart EF.  All the DSP is from MME Love Me 6x6 pad.  The sentiment is from MFT Lovey Dovey Sentiments stamped in SU Rose Red ink on MFT Smooth White CS and cut out with an MFT Blueprints 3 die, also available at Classy Cards 'n Such, and the mat is cut with a MFT Circle Stax 1 die. I added a cute little heart cut from a Blueprints 8 die, and added some sparkle with the Gelly Roll Stardust Clear Glitter Pen, and then mounted it with foam dimensionals. 

 The banners are cut with MFT Fishtail Flags Stax and Fishtail Flags Layers Stax.  I used 1/4" Scor-tape to adhere my papers & CS.

 

Thanks for stopping by.

Season's Greetings for JUGS #218

 

I used the sketch from Just Us Girls #218 for my card.  I substituted the poinsettia for the round panel. 

The card base is MFT Smooth White CS. The mats are SU Gumball Green and Rose Red CS.  The DSP is from MME Merry Little Christmas 6x6 pad, except the green is SU Gumball Green.  The Rose Red poinsettia is cut with Sizzix Tim Holtz Tattered Poinsettia die. I shaped the leaves with a stylus and my fingers, and added 3 rhinestones to the center.  The punched strip is made with SU Dotted Scallop Ribbon punch.  The sentiment is from Verve Holiday Treats in Rose Red ink.  I punched it out with a retired SU punch.

 

This also matches the colors at Pals Paper Arts, except I didn't have Wild Wasabi, so I used Gumball Green instead.

Hi for MFTWSC141

 

 

This is my card I made for MFTWSC141.  I used SU Whisper White and Sage Shadow CS.  The flower paper is from My Mind's Eye Dolled Up 6x6 pad.  The vertical strip is a piece of SU DSP (retired) from my stash.  I used the SU Woodgrain BG stamped in Sahara Sand ink for some texture on the main panel. The butterflies from LJD-Blissful Butterflies are stamped in SU Sage Shadow ink, cut out and adhered by putting Tombo glue on the bodies only.  I lifted the wings for dimension.  The Hi cutout is from MFT Blueprints 7 Dienamics.  The little half circle cutout is also from the same die set.  This panel is mounted with foam tape.

 

Thanks for stopping by.  I appreciate you taking the time to leave a comment.

It's A Good Day to Have A Good Day - MFTWSC131

 

I made this card for this week's My Favorite Things sketch #131.  I used the new MFT Chalkboard Greetings stamped with Versamark ink and embossed with White embossing powder on SU Basic Black CS.  I also smeared a little white ink around the sentiment.  I made the frame with SU Sahara Sand CS, Sahara Sand ink and MFT LJD Western Backgrounds stamps.  I cut the strips, joined them at the corners and rounded the corners with a SU Corner Rounder punch. The flower is made with MFT Upsy Daisy Die-namic and SU Rose Red and Pink Pirouette CS. I added some glitter to the center (and of course it got on the petals also).  I add the leaves with MFT Medium Leafy Flourish and cut it apart.  The DSP is from MME Dolled Up 6x6 pad, matted with Basic Black CS and mounted to an MFT Sweet Tooth CS base. 

Thanks for stopping by my blog.  I appreciate your comments.

Happy 4th of July and a Card for SC443

Happy 4th of July to you all!

Happy 237th Birthday America!
And I'm proud to be an American where at least I know I'm free.
And I won't forget the men who died, who gave that right to me.
And I'd gladly stand up next to you and defend her still today.
Cause there ain't no doubt I love this land God bless the U.S.A

I borrowed the above photo and sentiment from Joan's Gardens blog HERE. I love that song and it expresses my sentiments exactly.

Here is my card for the current sketch challenge at Splitcoast Stampers. I flipped the sketch sideways so I could use this cute (new to me) stamp image from Inkyantics Heart Benton. I got it at StampFest in Orlando this past weekend for the purpose of sending cards to OWH for our service men & women to send home to their families. It will go in a box I am mailing out tomorrow.

I stamped Benton on X-Press It Blending CS and colored him with Copics.  The sentiment is from the same set and is stamped in SU Choc. Chip ink on some ledger DSP from Echo Park's This & That. The other DSP is from MME Collectable-Unforgettable.  I matted all the papers with SU Choc. Chip CS and added them to a card base of Canvas Corp Heavy Weight White CS.  The image panel is mounted with foam tape.

Thanks for stopping by.  I appreciate your comments.

Love You More Today for OWH Sketch #179

I made my card using OWH Sketch #179. Love all the layers and I like how they put the measurements for each layer.  Check their blog out.  This card is going in my box that I will be mailing to OWH this week.  They send cards to our service men and women around the world so they will have cards to send home to thier family and friends.  I think it is a great way to appreciate their service for our country.  My husband served in the US Army for 20 years, but they didn't have this kind of organization when he was in the service.

 

My card base is Canvas Corp. Heavy Weight White CS.  The mats are SU Choc. Chip CS.  The DSP is from MME's Honey Cake 6x6 pad.  The sentiment from Verve's Hundred Hearts is stamped on SU Shimmery White CS (which doesn't show up in the photo) with Choc. Chip ink.  I punched 2 small hearts to place in opposite corners.  I used a SU border punch for the little border piece at the end of the sentiment panel. I attached the sentiment panel with foam tape.  I added the 3 small brown brads on the love paper panel before putting my card together.

 

That's it for my card.  Thanks for stopping by my blog.  I really appreciate your comments.

Here's my card I made following Freshly Made Sketces 86.  I will be sending this card to Operation Write Home to be sent to our military men and women overseas, so I used this new stamp set from Verve called Take Note.  I love that cute little envelope in the set and it has a lot of sentiments also.

 

The DSP is from MME Breeze 6x6 pad, except the text print is from Theresa Collins Vintage Finds.  The mats and ribbon are SU Basic Gray.  The card base and white panels are Canvas Corp Heavy Cardstock.
