Hey Ghoulfriend

I saw the new sketch over at Case This Sketch, plus I had a brand new stamp set I was itching to try out, so I just had to play this afternoon.

Lawn Fawn has a brand new release that is all kinds of fun!! I think my favorite stamp set and dies is the Booyah set. I'm just loving the cute ghosts with all their different costumes. I decided to use the Bride of Frankenstein outfit for my ghost.

The sketch just seemed to lean to a little window for the ghost to be flying out of. 

Supplies used: card stock - white, patterned paper - Polka in the Dark 6 X 6 pad by Lawn Fawn; Copic blending paper; stamps and dies - Booyah by Lawn Fawn; Memento Tuxedo Black ink; Copic markers; sequins - my stash; Pop Dots.

Thanks for stopping by!

Hello Sunshine

Yay, it's Friday!!!

Looking forward to the weekend :) Sunday is my birthday and I get to go out to dinner with hubby, my daughter and her family! My daughters making me this dessert too:

Are you jealous?

Anyway, back to business, I am sharing a card I created for the challenge over at Case This Sketch.

I came up with a little "Sunshine" card using some paper by Pink Paislee, some die cuts by Jillibean and a die from Simon Says Stamp.

Oops, I almost forgot, I added a little smiley face with a stamp from Stamps Of Life.

Supplies used: card stock - vanilla; patterned paper - Citrus Bliss 6X6 pad by Pink Paislee; die cuts - Pea Pod Parts by Jillibean; sunshine die cut - Simon Says Stamp; stamps - faces4stamps by The Stamps of Life, Greetings by TPC Studios; ink - Jet Black Archival; Pop Dots

Have a wonderful weekend!!!

Love You Most

They have a fun sketch this week over at Case This Sketch!

It really had my mind swimming with possibilities.

I ended up altering a border cut file from Silhouette Studio for my take on the sketch.

To create my card I first started with a heart border cut file from Silhouette Studio. I duplicated the border file and took one of the borders and turned it upside down. To do this I hit Object, then Mirror, then Flip Vertically.  I then lined one on top of the other so that the straight line part was superimposed. I used the eraser tool to remove two hearts from the top right and the bottom left of the borders. I used the font "Perfect Susan" to type my sentiment "love you Most". I put "love you" on the top right corner where I had removed the hearts and put "Most" on the bottom left spot where I had removed hearts. I then used the welding tool to weld it all together,

Now, for some reason, when I welded the shapes together it removed the little cut out heart and I had to add those back again to each heart.

Then I just added a few little heart sequins.

Supplies used: card stock - white, red; Silhouette Studio cut files; sequins - Martha Stewart.

Grab Life By The Beans

They had an interesting sketch over at Case This Sketch this week.

It was a challenge for me, which is good. I need to stretch my creative mojo!

After looking at the sketch for quite some time I decided to do some masking on my card and then went for a fun stamp set by Paper Smooches called Cyber Cafe because I love the little coffee beans stamp. Oh, ok, I love the whole stamp set.

I stamped one of the little coffee cups and then fussy cut it out and popped it up on the card for just a little dimension.

Supplies: card stock - white; patterned paper was a scrap from my stash; stamps - Cyber Cafe by Paper Smooches; ink - Jet Black Archival and Vintage Photo Distress Ink; Pop Dots.

Tune In

Hi all, this is my second post for today.

I wanted to play along in another couple of challenges

The first challenge was at Casology and the cue word this week was music.

The second challenge I wanted to join was at Case This Sketch.

I went pretty simple with my card.  

I used the Music Sheet embossing folder by Tim Holtz to emboss a piece of Recycled White paper, then matted it with a border punched piece of black card stock. Cut a music Note out of black card stock also and then stamped the sentiment using Paper Smooches Boob Tubes.

Supplies Used: card stock - recycled white, black; embossing folder - Music Sheet by Tim Holtz for Sizzix; broder punch  - Fiskars; Silhouette Studio cut file; stamp - Boob Tubes by Paper Smooches; ink - jet Black Archival.
