Thinking of You!

My Mom is my biggest fan and insists on "purchasing" all her cards from me.

You heard that right, she insists on paying me although I'd be happy to give them to her.

She recently asked me to make her some "masculine" Thinking of You cards.

I thought the recent sketch at Freshly Made Sketches lent it itself perfectly for just that type of card.

For my card I used some patterned paper I picked up at Target of all places, and a leaf die by Sizzix.

The sentiment is from a stamp set by Simon Says Stamp that I received in their latest card kit.

Supplies used: card stock - kraft, orange and blue; patterned paper from a 6X6 pad in the Target dollar aisle; die - Sizzix; stamps set - Nutty Over You by Simon Says Stamp; enamel dots - Recollections; Versamark ink; embossing powder from my stash; Pop Dots

Keep Shining Bright

Just popping in on this Saturday afternoon to share a card I created for the challenge over at Freshly Made Sketches

For my card I decided to play with elements from the August Simon Says Stamp card kit.

I choose the giant polka dot paper, I thought it was so fun! I matted it in blue card stock and added a gold star that I cut out with the die included in the kit.

The sentiment is from the stamp set included in the kit and I stamped it with Versamark and used Blue embossing powder. I added a twine bow with some gold and white twine I purchase through Pick Your Plumb.

Supplies used: card stock - white, blue; patterned paper by Pebbles; die by Simon Says Stamp; gold paper by Bazill; stamp by Simon Says Stamp; twine - Pick Your Plumb; Versamark stamp pad; embossing powder from my stash: Pop Dots.

So Sweet Thanks

Just popping in today to share a card that I created for this weeks challenge over at
Freshly Made Sketches.

We've had some lovely sunny days here lately and I guess it put me in a sunny mood because I picked a sunshine yellow color palette for my card.

I cut the cute strawberries out with my Cricut using the Preserves cartridge.

For the sentiment I used a stamp by Whimsical Designs and a die from Simon Says Stamp.

Supplies used: card stock - white, yellow, vanilla, 2 shades of red, green; patterned papers by October Afternoon and Alegra Creatives; die - Simon Says Stamp; stamp - Whimsical Designs.

Got to spend a little time in my craft room today.

Your Love Ties Us Together

I've been busy in my craft room working on some Fathers Day cards.

For this creation I decided to play with the sketch for this week over at Freshly Made Sketches!

I used a couple of cut files from Silhouette Studio. One was a border cut  from a file called Chevron Borders, which I place on my mat at an angle before cutting my patterned paper with it. The other file was a Dad Icons file, which I used the tie icon from.

My stamp was from the new Paper Smooches set called Daddy Yo. A little twine bow to reinforce the "tie us together" theme and a few enamel dots.

Supplies used: cardstock - blue, tan; patterned paper from the Durable 6X6 pad by Authentique; Silhouette Studio cut files; stamps - Daddy Yo by Paper Smooches; ink - Faded Denim by Tim Holtz; enamel dots - Sugardot Stickers by Prima; twine - my stash; Pop Dots.

Thanks for popping by!!!
