Thank You

This is my second card I made for this week's Tuesday Throwdown challenge using the Valentine Birds set from MyGrafico. I colored in the image using Copic markers and fussy cut it.

Thank You

Hello! Today's tag is made for Sweet Stamps new challenge. The theme is "Anything But a Card." I created this tag using the Flutterby Sweet Cuts die and the French Writing stamp for the background.

Thankful For You

Happy Tuesday! The weather is getting chilly in my neck of the woods lately. It's also the perfect time for a Fall inspired card. Tuesday Throwdown's challenge theme this week is "Thank You" and DeeDee's Digis is sponsoring with a fun prize to give away.

Thankful

Happy Tuesday! Fall has official begun. I sure wish the weather would get cooler but not so in my neck of the woods. We don't really have Fall and I miss it so much. This week's Tuesday Throwdown challenge and our sponsor's (Sugar Pea Designs) stamp set makes it feel like fall as I was working on my card. I chose Nuts About You because it's such a fun set with so many possibilities.

Thanks

 Hello Stampers! Welcome to another fun challenge over at Tuesday Throwdown. This week we are being sponsored by Lawn Fawn and Lawn Fawn has generously given the DT products to use. I am using this beautiful stamp set called Summertime Charm. This week's challenge theme is "Texture".

Gratitude

Hello Stampers! It's time for another fun challenge over at Tuesday Throwdown. This week it's all about "Gratitude." Thanksgiving is right around the corner. It is such a wonderful time of the year to reflect on all the blessings that we've been given and to spend time with those we love. 

CCM DT…So Sweet

Hello Stampers! Things have been busy in my studio getting my shop ready to open. I am happy to say it's up and running but there's more inventory that I need to add in the coming days. I took a little breather to create a card for CCM's DT Showcase. Are you loving the new Baking Time set? It's so fun and sweet.

Apples CAS

Hello Stampers! Whew it's been so hot! I am looking forward to Fall and cooler weather. Today I decided to join a couple CAS challenges. I looked around and found an apple stamp in my drawer. I stamped the apples multiple times, then colored it in using Copic markers.

Thank You

Hello Stampers! Today I am using a stamp set from SU called Easy Events. It's been in my drawer for quite some time. I could always use more thank you cards. 

Thanks

This card came about because I was attempting to do a Mother's Day card but it didn't turn out the way I wanted. I took off the image and stamped a new one. 

Tuesday Throwdown - Thank You

Hello Stampers and a happy Tuesday!

It's time again for another fun challenge over at Tuesday Throwdown. This week we have Bugaboo Stamps sponsoring us and giving the DT some fun images to use. The theme for this week is "Thank You Teacher". Teacher appreciation week is upon us shortly so now is a perfect time to get started on those teacher cards and gifts.

Tuesday Throwdown #115

It's time for Tuesday Throwdown's challenge. This week My Heart Pieces is sponsoring and giving the design team some adorable images to use. This little girl is so cute picking up her mangoes. I colored her in using Copics and added some green shading to the mangoes to show it partially ripened. The challenge is to use gems on your card. I added some medium size rhinestones, added a punch border and finished it with some stitching. This card is going to a nice lady who helped us out with our cat.

Go on over to the challenge blog and check out the DT's cards and enter to win some adorable stamps.

MFT - Thank You

I recently got some MFT die-namics and a PI stamp set. I went to MFT's blog to see what challenges they have going on and what did I find? A guest designer sketch challenge. Music to my ears so I had to join in.

I used this adorable PI stamp. I stamped her using Memento Tuxedo black ink then colored her in with Copic markers. I used one of the smaller oval dies for the sentiment. I cut out the die, stamped the sentiment, then trimmed off the excess to adhere to the right of the image. I added zigzags and straight stitches then used a die-namics mini rolled rose die to create my rose and add it to the top of the ribbon. 

Here's the sketch I used.

The ladies over at Crafty Ribbons Challenge is having a DT call so I thought it would be fun to toss my name in the pot.

10 Minute Challenge

I was looking at the Flourishes blog and noticed they had a 10 minute creations challenge. I quickly pulled this card together and snapped a photo of it since I only had about 20 minutes left to enter the challenge. I used a 2-step stamping technique on my flower, cut it out and used 3-D foam tape to mount it onto the scalloped square mat. I added some pearls to the corner for a bit of bling and stamped the sentiment at the bottom of the card front. That's all there is to it. Quick and easy.

Thank You Card

I needed to make some more thank you cards since I don't have that much left. I always make a habit of writing thank you cards when people do something for me. As I was making this card, I thought to myself about what style carmaker I am. I guess it would be more on the clean and simple side even though at times I would love to do something on the lines of shabby chic so for now CAS will do. This card was easy to put together. I cut out a half circle and stamped on the white part, colored it in with my Copic markers, added some stitching and various embellishments. That's it.

Give Thanks

It's Thanksgiving soon and a wonderful time to reflect on all the blessings that have come into our lives and be thankful not only at this time of year but always. This beautiful pumpkin image is from SNS. I imported the image into my Word document and resized it to the size I would like, printed and colored it using Kohi-Noor pencils. I used a piece of oval chipboard and stamped the sentiment onto it, then sponged it with pumpkin ink. I finished off the card by adding some brads and the orange ribbon.
