Lawnscaping Challenge 113

Hey Friends and Lawn Fawn Fans, Here's my card for the texture challenge at Lawnscaping 113. Right off the bat I'll tell you my texture is the stitched detail around the die cut and the embossed sentiment banner. I was going to dry emboss the tiny striped background paper but it would have been too busy.

I used Doodlebug Paper and the ever so cute Baked with Love stamp set and dies by Lawn Fawn colored with Copic Markers. I also used Riley's alphabet (I think) for the word "wishes". Bannerific stamps and dies were used for the banner. Pretty Pink Posh sequins finish it off. Links are below.

Hi Friends, Happy Labor Day Weekend! I'm here with a project I made for my Local Card Club. The challenge is "Anything but a card". I choose to case Beate Johns beautiful corner book mark. There is a tutorial on Splitcoast Stampers here. I didn't put a bow on mine or any raised embellies because it might dent the book pages but I did pop up the flower.  I'll probably make a matching thank you card. 

The image I used is retired Flourishes set. I don't have the name with me as I write this. I  used Crate Paper DP for the gingham and various brands of card stock scraps. The die cut is Spellbinders. I used Momento Summer Sky ink to sponge the background of the die cut while still in the die then stamped the sentiment with Versafine Black. 

These book marks make fabulous small gifts. The theme possibilities are endless! This one is going to my Mom's fabulous Realtor to helped sell Mom's house in 2 days! 

The challenges I'm submitting this to are below.

Thanks for Visiting. :)

Back to School-Simon says Stamp

Hi Friends, I thought I'd share my card today even tho it's not my best work. I just have to play in the Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge for the possibility of winning $50.00 at the SSS store. That's just too good to pass up.

I don't even have anyone I know going back to school except my teacher Daughter and her husband. Maybe I'll send it to them.  I do love to play with Lawn Fawn Stamps tho! My glossy accents was a epic fail! It had bubbles in it and also when it was drying the tip of the crayon curled up and cracked a little. ha ha ha, oh well.

The paper is an old line of DCWV, I think, I've had it forever.

HEY Friends, I'm here today with a Birthday card for one of my tennis-loving friends. I pulled out my Kraftin Kimmie set "Good Sports" for this. I hope Gerry likes it. I colored the image so long ago that I had to blow dust off of it! It was patiently waiting for me to finish. 

I had fun putting it together with the Kraftin Kimmie August Sketch. I used a MFT sentiment for the front but I used a KK sentiment on the inside that says "talk to the backhand!"

MM 410

Hey Friends, I'm sharing a summer card today with a bunch of different elements. The cute beach-y lady is, of course, Art Impression, but in conjunction with Hampton Arts for Michael's.

I'm very disappointed with the quality of this set. It's plastic or something, not photo polymer. Doesn't stamp well at all! But I made her look pretty good by tracing over many of the lines with a Copic multiliner.

My photo is dark because I didn't have access to my regular photo editing software yesterday. 

The paper and stickers are from the Simon Says Stamp July card kit which features Simple Stories paper. The sentiment is the SSS stamp set from the same kit. I used Mojo Monday Sketch 410. 

I am sooooo not ready to make fall cards. Summer is NOT over! LOL!

Thanks for stopping by!

Merry monday 168

Hey friends, I'm here with a pastel Christmas card today made for the Merry Monday challenge. I was in between part one and part 2 of my vacation yesterday and was dying to make a card and play with Distress Inks! 

So I got out my water color paper, inks and SU stamp set. Name unknown. I heat embossed the simon  says sentiment with liquid platinum. I stamped the pointsettia with spun sugar on copic paper and highlighted it with copies.  

This post took me HOURS to compose. I did it entirely on my new iPad because I'm not home now. And I did not know how to do it. I figured each part out under much diress. Yikes, what a pain😊

Excuse the crappy photo and anything I may have left out. The words are wonderfully shiny!
