I've been busy making cards today. This is my third post for the day too. That's more than I've done in a whole week in the past few weeks! It's so nice to have a break, but it's almost over and almost time to get ready for the work week. All of my cards in this post feature BasicGrey Wisteria . That seems to be my "go to" paper this weekend. First up is my card for the Cuttlebug Be Inspired challenge 32 - Butterflies. I don't have a Cuttlebug butterfly die, so I used a Sizzix die and embossed the wings with my Cuttlebug swiss dots folder. I also embossed a piece with the D'vine swirls and punched the small butterfly out of that so the little one is embossed too. The Dutch Dare Card challenge this week is to use glitter and or bling. I did both to my butterfly. And did I mention that I struggled with this? I made the butterfly and did not like the colors. I could not figure out what I wanted to do with it, but finally settled on what you see here. ...
I finally got motivated to make a Father's Day card. It will be here sooner than you think. I used the weekend sketch challenge sketch and also fulfilled the Flourishes challenge to make a square card. I even did a little to the inside of this one. Stamp : Tim Holtz; Hampton Arts Paper : BasicGrey Accent: Fiber, button Tools: Nestabilities labels two I've listed this one in my shop , just in case you run out of time or have trouble making masculine cards.
Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends. John 15:13 And in particular, the U.S. soldier, who lays down his life for friend, family, and those that don't support him, so we may all enjoy our freedoms. Happy Memorial Day. I hope you have lots of fun, as well as some time for reverence and reflection.
I used the sketch at Stamp Something for this card, along with StampTV's color challenge. I never have a sympathy card on hand when I need one, and I decided I like this color combo for a sympathy card after making the one I shared yesterday, so that's what I made. Paper : BasicGrey wisteria Stamp : A Year of Flowers, GinaK Designs Accents : brads
Hope everyone is having a great weekend. I found a little time to do some stamping. I'm catching up on some challenges. Here is my card for Mojo Monday 87. I'm a little late with this but fairly early to submit it for the OCC challenge this week, which is to use a sentiment as the focal. The sentiment on this card is from Verve. I love this quote. The colors were inspired by the PCP color challenge . Paper : HOTP; Bazzill Stamp : Verve Accents : rhinestone Tools : Cuttlebug swiss dots folder; Martha Stewart butterfly punch; Nestabilities circles and scalloped circles; scalloped scissors
I just squeezed in this card for the CPS sketch this week. Sympathy cards aren't my favorite to have to make, but I needed one so I used the CPS sketch 116 . Here is the card: Paper : BasicGrey Wisteria Stamps : Heidi Grace designs; Verve sentiment Accents : flower punch; brads; ribbon Tools : Paper piercer
