A Couple of Valentine's

Happy Thursday everyone!! Just popping in to post a couple of cards I created yesterday. I am kind of on a roll with creating Valentine's cards as I have received a few orders from some companies as of late. I went from having no stamps for Valentine's day to having a ton!!

My first card was inspired by the new Freshly Made Sketches #419.


Below is the sketch I used for my inspiration.


The splattered paper in the back was not supposed to be for this card BUT the card I created it for needed something different so I decided to use it for this card.


The sentiments are from Altenew's "Circle Sentiments," Hero Arts Kit of the Month, and the Ink Blot Shop's Sentiment Label Blocks. The hearts are stickers from Elle's Studio.


I like the layering of the sentiments, though that is NOT what I had in mind in the first place.

My second card was inspired by the Paper Craft Crew's Challenge #367 Inspiration photo. I was inspired by the red of the flowers and the glasses.


Instead of wine glasses, I used champagne glasses on my card.


I am attempting to use more pattern paper on my cards as I have a mountain of it to use up. I decided to use some from Pebbles "Be Mine" 6" by 6" paper pad on this card.


The sentiment is from MFT's new "Little Love Notes" stamp set and the champagne glasses are from Reverse Confetti's "Cake and Champagne" stamp set. I adore this Cake and Champagne set and have a couple cards coming up that I will be posting.


I added clear sequins with little dots of Diamond Stickles to mimic champagne "bubbles" on and above the glasses. The heart is one that was from my stash.


On another note, remember that glass fusing class I took? My friend picked up my piece for me and I really like how it came out!!!


I want to learn how to use this to make jewelry now. It was so fun to do!!!

I thank you for taking the time to stop by today. Have a FABULOUS afternoon!!

Sunday with CAS(E) this Sketch Challenge #261 and As You See It Challenge #170

Happy Sunday everyone!! I hope you are all having a great day.

I am a little grouchy today. Did a lot of errands and laundry this weekend, but not much fun stuff. I am in a funk. I think a couple days of sunshine would help as it has been gray, gray, gray!!

Today I am sharing two cards I created. The first one is for CAS(E) this Sketch #261, though it is a retro sketch. I created this card using Stamping Bella's "I Have a Secret" stamp and the "Stacked Heart" die from Simon Says Stamp.


I kept this really simple, using white card stock and a scrap of patterned paper from my stash.

Here is the sketch that inspired this card:


I loosely colored in the image using Copic Markers. I LOVE this image and want to make a bunch up to send to some close friends.


I left off the sentiment because I didn't want to use the one that came with the stamp set. The little dots from the sketch were replaced with the hearts die.


I filled in some of the hearts and used clear Sparkle marker over them.

For my second card, I used the sketch from As You See It Challenge #170. Again, I kept it very simple.


The image is from Inky Antics "Wine Time #1" stamp set and the sentiment is from their "Wine Time #2" set.

Here is the sketch that inspired me:


Again, I colored this image in with Copic markers and used a stencil with some Broken China Distress ink for the polka dots.


Instead of the hearts, I chose to add a word bubble with the sentiment.


If only this lady was sipping a beer and I would use it for my friend's birthday instead of having to make her a card now!!

That is all from me tonight. I hope you have a fabulous Monday!!

Sip Sip Hooray!!

Happy Monday everyone!!

I am popping in quick to show you another card that I created this weekend. I used another Inky Antic stamp set-"Wine Time #2"-for my card. Again, I had colored these images in a while ago and am just using them on a card. Does anyone else do this?


I used the "As You See it Challenge #167" as my inspiration for this card. Instead of using the word balloon on the rectangle, I used it above. I thought is was the perfect way to get my sentiment on the card.


I thought that all these whites matched until I started editing my photo. I have so many different white papers that sometimes I mess up!! I still like the card anyway.


I also created an inside to adhere to the card. I have been trying to do this more. I don't adhere it, though, until I use it.

I thank you for taking the time to stop by!! Have a FABULOUS day!!

A Few Challenges with the Mess on my Desk

Happy Sunday everyone!! I hope you are all enjoyed your weekend.

Today I am here with a couple cards I created using the mess on my desk and some scraps.

First I created a card for Freshly Made Sketches #319  using the "Lounging Wine Lady" from Inky Antics. I have to admit, I am kind of obsessed with wine stamps and had to add this one to my collection. The funny thing is that I really DO NOT love wine. I prefer margaritas IF I drink, which is not all that often.


I had previously colored in the wine lady with Copic markers while I was watching TV with my husband. I pulled her out and then layered her over a patterned paper scrap and a piece of MFT Sno Cone card stock that I had cut in half and folded to make a 4 1/4" by 5 1/2" card.


Here is the sketch I used as my inspiration:

When I looked at the sentiments on the stamp set, I decided to use this one because I could use a strip for the last line.


My next card I created a birthday card using the "Spring Chicken" stamp set by Art Impressions. Once again, I had colored in the chickens months ago and did nothing. When I saw the sketch for TGIF Challenge #142, I knew that I had to use this. I am also entering this into Seize the Birthday: Anything Goes.

 

I decided to flip the sketch so that the white panel would be on the bottom.


I adhered orange patterned paper over the background of the card and used a Lawn Fawn "Stitched Scalloped Border" die to cut the blue, scalloped border.


I then die cut my chicken panel with the Lawn Fawn "Stitched Journaling Card" die and adhered it over the scalloped border to the card front.


My last step was to add the stamped sentiment and then use a Nuvo Aqua Shimmer Pen, as well as some Glossy Accents and glitter glue to spruce some of the little elements up.

Well that is all from me today. I thank you for taking the time to stop by. Have a FABULOUS day!!

Wish List Wednesday

Happy Hump Day everyone!! It seems like a Tuesday to me since we had Monday off but I am glad it isn't. One day closer to the weekend!!

Since I do not want my blog to be so quiet, I thought I would post a few things that I have been drooling over lately. I am holding off buying right this moment but know that it will only be a matter of time!!

First, from Mama Elephant I have "Little Dog Agenda" and "Sticky Notes." Aren't they adorable?



You know I made some cards using the cats from my Mama Elephant's "Little Cat Agenda," and I would LOVE to pair them with both of these fun stamp sets!!

I also want the new stencils from Simon Says Stamp! I have seen some really cool techniques that I want to try with them!! (click on the images below to go directly to the SSS store)


I adore the "Twisted Stitch Borders" from Simon Says Stamp! but they are on backorder right now. Good thing as my pocket book is empty!!
I also want the new Clearly Besotted "Raise a Glass II" stamps. As you know, I am kind of obsessed with the Simon Says Stamps "Time for Wine" set (as seen by my projects on these blog posts) and think that the "Raise a Glass II" would fit right in!!


Last but not least, I am dying to get my hands on these fun "Rainbow Sparkle Jewels" by Lucy's Cards. Do I need one more embellishment? No but these would be so much FUN!!


Is there anything you are dying to play with? Would love to hear from you!! I always enjoy knowing what other people wish for-whether is is scrap supplies or not!!

I thank you for stopping by and have a FABULOUS Wednesday!!

Another Wine Card for Mojo Monday #488

Happy Tuesday!! We have had a snow day today due to a Nor'easter but all is good. It has warmed up to 41 degrees and is now raining. Supposed to freeze again tonight, though, so here is hoping we don't lose power due to ice!!

Since I am home bound, I have been hanging out in my pj's doing laundry and did make a card for the Mojo Monday #488 Sketch Challenge. I used the pile that is on my desk that I put in yesterday's post.

Once again, I used Simon Says Stamp's "Time for Wine" stamp and die set for my card.


My inspiration was the sketch below, which I flipped 180 degrees.


I adored this sketch because it was very simple. I also liked it because it let me layer my stamped and die cut images.


All the images were colored in with Copic markers. I used Spectrum Noir Clear Sparkle Marker over the Copics and then added Glossy Accents over that.


I used a piece of gold and white polka dot paper for the strip that was in the sketch.


I really like how this came out.

I thank you for stopping by today. Stay safe and warm all my friends that live in the Northeast!!

Nora

Fab Friday #107

Hello! I am here today with yet another card that I created this weekend. Again, I used stuff on my desk to layer together using the "Fab Friday" Sketch #107 as my inspiration.

I think I have said this before that I am having fun with sketches as of late because you can use any kind of product on them. I would love to do some color challenges but find them really...um, challenging.

I used Simon Says Stamps "Time for Wine" stamp and dies to create my card. I colored a bunch of these images in awhile ago and never used them. I don't know why I am obsessed with this set but I am. It is not like I send out wine cards that often. (I could, though. I have A LOT of friends who enjoy a nice bottle, oh I mean a glass of wine!!)


The sentiment is from PaperTrey Ink's "Fillable Frames #5." I have used this sentiment a ton because it just seems to go with everything!! I also stamped a matching envelope for this card. This is my new "thing!"


I used Glossy Accents and Spectrum Clear Sparkle Marker over these elements. The doily is a retired MFT die.

Here is the sketch I used:


This is one of those sketches I could have made a ton of cards from. I think I might duplicate this card with some purple wine images I have from my last color spree. (though it is purple and wine is not purple!)


Here is another angle of the card. I cannot tell you how much I love how this came out!!

Well, enough of me today. I thank you for taking the time to stop by. Comments are always welcome!!
