PSC19: All Holiday and Seasons

It's time for another "Perfect Sentiment Challenge" and we could choose what ever Holiday we wanted so I chose to do St.Patties day.

This was fairly easy for me since I used dimentional stickers by Recollections. I love using these when time  just gets away from you and you need something quick.

I cut the St. Patrick's Day sentiment from the center of St.Patricks Day Paper from DCMV. I bordered it with white and poked my holes around the outside edge. I really needed a larger needle for making my holes but they are there. In the left corner I placed the good luck Horseshoe.

Along the left side I punched threading holes and weaved a strip of white paper through it. I really like the looks of this.

For the bow I used a shoe string with clovers on it. Just the perfect touch.

One last look at my card for the PSC.

Made Especially For You Sketch Design

Really had fun with this one. I started with a cream colored card and covered the front with this tan and brown striped paper. Under the lace it is framed with brown strips which you can't even see.

I got in my favorite ribbon box and found the fun pink lace with a pink ribbon running through the center of it.Then I put this really cute pink hand made flowerette to go with it.

In that same box of ribbon there was this cute old fashioned lace that I put all around the outside of the card. I loved this lace.

We were given 4 choices of stamp art by DIGI and I chose this cute little bear to place in the center of my card. Haven't done allot of coloring art but I think it turned out fine, and finally.

I had this adorable LOVE stamp that I stamped on brown paper and then just cute it out. I think it finished the card off very nicely.

Thanks for stopping by.



UNSCRIPTED SKETCHES #144

This is my first UNSCRIPTED SKETCHES Design. I'm really excited to be participating in this weeks challenge. So here is my take on the sketch challenge which I will show you later.

I used a creamy yellow card stock for the base of my card that I ran through one of my embossing packets from Sizzix . I went digging through my piles of scraps I found this really cool brightly striped card stock that I had used along time ago on a Scrapboooking page and it had the same color yellow in it. It went perfectly. I had made these very small layered flowers awhile back and stuck them in a  baby food jar and thought they would add the texture that the sketch had. I added the Birthday sentiment to the top and a flower rosette. I really like how it turned out.

For the inside I printed out this birthday sentiment on my computer and add another little flowerette to the corner.

One final look. Thank for stopping by. And now for the inspirational sketch.

PSC18: Inspired with Love

It's time for another LOVE inspired card challenge from a sketch. I really love the colors on this one. It brings out the love side as well as the colors of Spring.

For this card I used my Sizziz  decorative edged pre-cut card maker. I first cut it out in white then again in the green. I cut it apart at the score line and shortened it by 1", ran it through my checkered embossing pouch to represent the brick look, then layered it ontop of the white.

I found some scrap pieces that had the right color of flowers and fussy cut two of them with a couple of leave and placed one on top of the other with a strip of the cordinating dots along the side.

I found a piece of shear lace in my stash with some pearls and twisted the lace then hot glued them together for alittle textured pop.

I just love this LOVE stamp. It says both love and spring to me. And once again I stamped it on a scrap piece of cordinating paper and fussy cut it out.

For the inside I fussy cut another flower, placed a strip of cordinating paper onto of the same Bazzil green. Just love the finished product on the this card. And now for the inspiration of this piece.



First Design Team challenge card

Today I am presenting my first Design Team member card. Our task was to create a Valentine card with some kind of tag. This was my take on that challenge.

PSC17: Missing a Button

Perfect Sentiments Challenge

I started this card with a double sided card stock. Floral on one side and Polka dots on the other. Then I took white Bazille paper, ran it through a pretty card cutter that had this neat edging on it. Then I ran it through my cool Sizzix embossing folder.

I added three strips of olive green ribbon on the edge and place a Rosette from my Tim Holtzs Rosette cutter in the corner.

For the sentiment I used the contrasting side of the paper, cut a smaller piece of white for the top and wrote the I miss you. I found these two old buttons in my button jar and they were tented green so they matched perfectly and I had two of them, which is unusual for me. Usually I will have one.

The inside shows the back side of the card stock that I used. I chose to use the other side to make my smaller rosette. I am addicted to that die.

And this is the finished product. Love it.
