I am a crafter that has dabbled in all kinds of crafts such as cake decorating, embroidery, cross stitch, sewing, and quilting. My love for cardmaking grew out of scrapbooking which I only did a little of. I love the "relatively" quick results of making cards and sharing them with family and friends. I reside in Connecticut with my husband of 30 years and have 2 fantastic grown daughters.KimCreatehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09024416761388644973noreply@blogger.comBlogger674125tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4618262078558996179.post-34522171066973194442023-05-29T11:34:00.002-04:002023-05-29T11:38:18.916-04:00Freshly made sketch<p> Hi Friends, </p><p>I made a couple cards for the Freshly Made Challenge.

<span style="font-size: large;">Hey Friends, I was very inspired by <a href="https://thecardconcept.blogspot.com/2019/09/the-card-concept-119-beautiful.html">the Card Concept 119</a> inspiration photo this time. I decided to make a mixed media vintage card. I took out my MFT Butterfly wishes stamp set (maybe retired) and inked up the butterflies by stamping each in two shades of ink. I touched them up with some colored pencils. I then sponged around the edges with Antique Linen distress ink and splatter some gold spray and white paint on top. </span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">Using sketch 339 from <a href="https://casethissketch.blogspot.com/2019/09/case-this-sketch-339.html">Case this sketch</a> I diecut and vellum square and gold heat embossed the sentiment. Deviating somewhat from the sketch I placed a punched butterfly and gold thread in the right corner and added some gold bling. The photo does not capture this as pretty as it is in person. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">I had to pull out my WPlus9 Ranunculus stamp set. The golden flatware inspired me to gold heat emboss my image and I colored the blooms with Copic markers. I used more gold powder to heat emboss the Verve sentiment. (The inside says ...a happy anniversary). The Pretty Pink Posh scalloped frame was die cut with gold foil cardstock. I added a few tiny black splatters and sparkling clear sequins to finish it. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;">I'm playing in a few challenges with this card and had them all in mind while creating. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;">First was the <a href="https://colorthrowdown.blogspot.com/2019/08/color-throwdown-countdown-556.html">Color Throwdown 556 </a>. I knew I wanted to color the flower yellow so the colors were perfect for this. I used <a href="https://www.amazon.com/Kuretake-Clean-Watercolor-RB-6000AT-80V/dp/B01BLEISSY">Zig Clean Color Real Brush Pens</a> or whatever they are called! HaHa.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Next I wanted to use the 400th sketch challenge at <a href="https://freshlymadesketches.blogspot.com/2019/08/freshly-made-sketches-400th-sketch_14.html">Freshly Made Sketches</a>. The sky is the limit with this sketch. I sponged my background on Bristol with Tumbled Glass, Mermaid Lagoon and Chipped Sapphire.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;"> Then added some Mermaid Lagoon Spatters and some water spots. The third challenge is the SSS Instagram challenge which I can't link but this fits the <a href="https://www.simonsaysstampblog.com/wednesdaychallenge/simon-says-midsummer-blues/">SSS Wed. Challenge Mid-Summer Blues</a> so it's all good.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;">I hand cut a flag banner and stamped the sentiment, added a few sequins and called it done. </span></div>

Hey Friends, I made a card for <a href="https://thecardconcept.blogspot.com/2019/05/the-card-concept-115-mosaic-madness.html">The Card Concept 115 </a>challenge. I used SU Delicate Doilies to get the circle shapes similar to the inspiration photo. I heat embossed them and the SSS sentiment in clear powder. I then added a yellow and orange distress oxide inks with the smooshing technique. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I heat embossed a sentiment in white on black and added black and silver sequins. Other challenge below.</div>

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">Hey Friends, I'm playing in the <a href="https://www.lawnfawnatics.com/announcement/lawn-fawnatics-challenge-51-card-sketch">Lawn Fawnatics challenge 51</a> today. I love a sketch challenge so I had to play. I used Hello Baby from Lawn Fawn and colored with Copics with white gel pen accents. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">In the same coordinating die set is the cute little clouds dies so I cut them with patterned paper. I don't know which paper line this is, the cover on the 6x6 pad was missing but it's at least 5 years old. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">I used a butterfly punch to match the background paper. When creating this I was going by memory and forgot to add the horizontal element. Opps! </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">On another note, I stepped down from the <a href="https://thecardconcept.blogspot.com/2019/04/the-card-concept-113-spring-celebration.html">The Card Concept </a>Design Team. (to have more time for scrapbooking in travelers notebooks) But here I am playing in the challenge! The bunny is what inspired me to use this stamp set. I'll always love the Card Concept Challenge and my lovely team members. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Hey Friends, Welcome to <a href="http://thecardconcept.blogspot.com/">The Card Concept Challenge #111</a>. I love shells and all things beachy! I did buy a new-to-me stamp and die set from Avery Elle called The Reef. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;">I started with a piece of bristol card stock for distress inking of the background. I use Tumbled Glass, Vintage Photo and Antique linen. After sponging I used clean water and watered down distress inks for flicking. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;">I stamped the coral shapes on the background and stamped more shell shapes which were die cut out. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;">With a Pretty Pink Posh Scalloped frame die I cut out 5 frames and stacked them with a piece of acetate under the top one. I put the die cut shells and some sequins inside and adhered down. The sentiment is from the same set. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;">My mind is getting ready to think about the beach again. Winter is so long in New England but warm weather will be here eventually! Come play with us and visit the blog too!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">Hi Friends, Ya, March is here, spring is around the corner! <a href="http://thecardconcept.blogspot.com/">The Card Concept 110</a> has a great inspiration for you. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">I tried to go Vintage or Shabby Chic with this card. I used the colors from the pieced Shamrock in the photo for my shamrocks. Although I distress it, it wasn't enough. Just looking at it now, some splatters would have helped. I cut the shamrocks out with a die from Paper Smooches with various 6x6 papers. I machine-stitched thru the centers and added hand stitched buttons. I roughed up the edges of the panels with a Tim Holtz distress tool and added Antique Linen distress ink. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">I hope you join us this week. Stop by the blog and check out the fun!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;">"Puff the magic dragon, lives by the sea......." </span><br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Are you singing it? </span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;"> I am! </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;">I need a birthday card for a very special boy who will be 5 this week. I pulled out one of my favorite sets from Lawn Fawn, Critters Ever After, and colored up the cute Dragon.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;"> Boy, am I rusty with my copics! I haven't used them much in months. I am distracting you all from the bad coloring with the white gel pen dots which really add such a cute whimsical feel. I used Lawn Fawn's cloud border dies, MFT's cloud stencil and paper pieced balloons from Lawn Fawn's Party Animal set.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;">I gold embossed the sentiment and added teeny-tiny stars. The crown is diecut with gold foil paper, the camera caught the reflection in a strange way. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;">So for the challenge at <a href="https://www.lawnfawnatics.com/announcement/lawn-fawnatics-challenge-48-inspired-by-a-book-movie-or-song">Lawn Fawnatics 48</a>, the inspiration is Puff the Magic Dragon.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">Hey Friends, We have such a cute inspiration photo challenge for you this week at <a href="http://thecardconcept.blogspot.com/2019/02/the-card-concept-109-pineapple-party.html">The Card Concept 109! </a> It just so happened I had the fabulous birthday paper with the paper fans on it that matched the photo. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">I heat embossed my Avery Elle pineapple in gold powder and water colored it with zig markers. I fussy cut out because I don't have the dies. The sentiment is from the same set which I heat embossed in white. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">To put it together I dry embossed a white card stock panel with a star embossing folder, added a doodlebug doily and some enamel hearts.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">Hey Friends, welcome to the new <a href="http://thecardconcept.blogspot.com/">The Card Concept 108 challenge</a>! It's almost Valentine's Day so this inspiration photo should come in handy to get some cards done! It can work for other love related cards too. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">I tried to have large bold elements on my card like the pillows in the photo. For my clean and layered card I kept it mostly free of clutter and tried to have just one large focal point. I thought about it later that I could have sponged on Antique Linen Distress ink and roughed up the edges to make it Shabby Chic/Vintage. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: large;"> The stamp set is Simon Says Stamp "Really like you'. I heat embossed the sentiment in clear powder over VersaFine Black ink. The background paper is from a 2012 line of crate paper I believe. I added a doily and bow and called it done. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">Hey Friends, Welcome to <a href="http://thecardconcept.blogspot.com/2019/01/the-card-concept-107-rainbow-cupcakes.html">The Card Concept 107</a>! We all love a rainbow design, right? I do. I was inspired to make my clean and layered card from the rainbow cupcakes. It made me think of my Lawn Fawn set Baked with Love. Actually everything on this card is Lawn Fawn including the Really Rainbow paper and the Scalloped Box Die.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">I stamped the images on Copic Express It card stock and colored with Copics. I die cut them out and die cut the box die. The dies for the mats on the flaps come with the die set too. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">This was fun to put together and is earmarked for a sweet young adult in my family. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Hi Friends! We back from our break and ready to play at <a href="http://thecardconcept.blogspot.com/">The Card Concept 106</a>! I super love this inspiration photo! I did deviate a bit from the pinks in the flowers, not intentional but oh well, it's ok.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;">I like the black and white accents on the photo so I found some patterned papers that were close. They are much more black in real life but I over-lightened my photo and blacks got washed out a bit.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;">I stamped a stamp from Newton's Nook, Cocktail Mixer, colored with Copics and die cut it out with a stitched circle. I bundled up a nest of gold thread to put under the die cut and added some gold sequins and a gold clip. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;">The inside stamp from the same set says "why limit happy to an hour?" So funny! </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;">There are some gorgeous cards from the design team over at The Card Concept Blog so please check them out!</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;">I'm sharing one of my favorite cards. It was from February of 2018. I like this card because of the big gold heat embossing sentiment and pretty patterned papers. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;">I hope you are having a wonderful holiday. See you next time!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">Hey Friends, I've got some random Holiday cards to share today. The first one is a Gina K Designs/Simon Says Stamp Collab. set. The trees, reindeer and sentiment are from that set. The gingham stamp is Simon Says Stamp. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">I stamped the trees in green on a kraft base. After stamping the gingham in black on red CS, I die cut a circle, set the silver embossed reindeer on top and added a white embossed sentiment, sequins and a silver bow. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">I chose to use my Avery Elle cupcake stamp set for this clean and layered card. I stamped the 2 piece cupcake. The top and the bottom are separate, some on white card stock and some on patterned paper with ink colors to match the inspiration. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">I pulled out a MS holly punch and some puffy stickers from my stash to decorate said cupcakes. As I write this, darned if I know which set the sentiment comes from. Sorry!</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">A little patterned paper for the background and some rounded corners to complete. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">Hey Friends, Time sure is flying by! Time to make Christmas cards if you haven't started already! LOL. I'm way behind but will add to handmade cards with pre-made. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: large;"><a href="https://thecardconcept.blogspot.com/">The Card Concept Challenge 102</a> is a pretty one and can be interpreted any way you'd like. I focused on the gingham pillow and tree for my clean and layered card.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: large;"> I love this <a href="https://www.ellenhutson.com/hero-arts-clear-stamps-color-layering-snowy-tree/?_vsrefdom=adwords&gclid=EAIaIQobChMI4JvIoO7R3gIVg_hkCh1zxgP-EAkYBCABEgLqx_D_BwE">Hero Arts set</a> and was happy to use it. It's a color layering stamp so the trees are stamped with 2 colors of ink and another layer was heat embossed in white. I also embossed the deer, star and greeting. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">I hope you join us this week.Check out the design team's card too, they are gorgeous!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">Hey Friends, I wanted to play in the newest challenge at <a href="https://www.lawnfawnatics.com/announcement/lawn-fawnatics-challenge-40-color-inspiration">Lawn Fawnatics</a>. I recently picked up the Lawn Fawn Really Rainbow Christmas paper pad and it was perfect for the challenge. I pulled out my LF Snow Day set for this one. And I used the nice list from the Holiday Helpers set. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">I colored the images with Copics and die cut out. The tree and sentiment are from the same Snow Day set.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">I laid it all out with the help of<a href="https://poeticartistry.blogspot.com/2018/11/mojo-monday-502.html"> Mojo Monday 502 sketch</a>! Yay, they started have sketches again! I even pulled out Spellbinder dies for the scalloped circle and a punch for the scalloped border. Even tho distress ink backgrounds are the modern card norm, I so enjoyed making a card the way I used to. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">Hi Friends, it's time for our 101st challenge at <a href="https://thecardconcept.blogspot.com/2018/10/the-card-concept-rustic-fall.html?fbclid=IwAR1Dhf9iIhf_sypoSJl30Y8Ud3C-6_egaZHI4DnKpwu5bYKselaue06cpzI">The Card Concept</a>! I went quite literal with this one. I purchased Penny Black's Pumpkin Truck stamp because I have lots of men to make cards for. I really like it too! </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">I stamped it on watercolor paper with Versafine Ink and colored it with distress inks and a water brush. I then set it on a background of navy and white plaid patterned paper and then onto a navy card base. The sentiment is from Inky Antics. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">The card is a cross between mixed media and clean and layered.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Hey Friends, Welcome to our 100th challenge for <a href="https://thecardconcept.blogspot.com/2018/10/the-card-concept-100-elegant-fall.html">The Card Concept</a>! </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;">I have used a retired Flourishes stamp set. If you'd like something similar, head over to the <a href="https://powerpoppy.com/collections/clear-stamps">Power Poppy</a> store. I stamped my image in light ink and colored it with Prisma Colored Pencils. I then heat embossed the sentiment with white powder and cut it into a tag shape. I popped that up on foam tape onto my prepared card base. I added gold sequins and bakers twine.</span></div>
