Two cards today and one for MIM
I loved this Botanical Blocks Stamp Set and I have to say I love the way this card turned out. I don't say that too often.
The Thinking of You is from Stamps by Judith . Sequins from Pretty Pink Posh.
My top card uses this sketch turned on its side.
I also forgot to add that I used the Papertrey Ink
Ice cream cone die for my pie scrap.
My first Card for MIM I got wrong.
I think I have this one done correctly!
I used Propose a Toast Stamp and die from Papertrey Ink,Soft Stone cardstock and sequins from Pretty Pink Posh.
Helo my sweet friends, so many of you asked me how I was because of the fire. The Rancho Cucamonga Etiwanda fire was my neighborhood . We are all fine after a very emotional and crazy day yesterday. Thank you!
This what we saw from our front door.
Everyone is fine, but it was scary.
Oh My Gosh, Marybeth, how very scary for that fire to be so close. Happy you are safe~it must have been a very upsetting and emotional day for you and your neighbors! Thanks for letting us know you are okay.
ReplyDeletePS: I LOVE both of your amazing cards so much (the Botanical Blocks Stamp Set on my wish list now) :-) The pie chart card looks so pretty with those yummy scraps!
Prayers of thanksgiving that you all are safe. I can't begin to imagine what you've gone through, but I also pray that this is all past. You can have some of our rain, if you want! Your cards are gorgeous, and quite therapeutic at such a time. Love those little champagne glasses. Beautiful colors in your "pie." Bev
ReplyDeleteI can't imagine how scary that must have been to see that fire so close from your front door, but so glad to hear that you are ok! We just never know what each day holds for us, do we?! (probably best we don't!!)
ReplyDeleteBoth of your cards are so pretty! I told myself I didn't "NEED" the flower block stamp set, but sure am wishing I had ordered it...your card is absolutely beautiful! And your pie chart card is delightful too! (I'm glad I'm not the only one who doesn't read directions too carefully sometimes!)
So glad that you are back home and safe my friend. I was very worried about you. Both of your cards are fabulous, great job with the colours and your pie is awesome! Thank you so much for sharing with us at the colourQ!

ReplyDeleteYour cards are beautiful...love the gold embossing you die with the Botanical Block set!
Thank God things are better in your neighborhood. The photos are frightening!
ReplyDeleteYour beautiful card with sunflower is so Marybeth. Clean, elegant, shows off that stamp (which I haven't even used yet!) to it's max! And the sweet blue one toasting with bubbles made me smile. Lovely and in no way scrappy!
I still cannot believe those pictures. Yikes. So very happy to hear that you and all your loved ones are well. And, you are crafting again, so that is another good thing. Your first card is just gorgeous. I love the gold embossing with those deep rich colors. And, your MIM is so cute and perfect. The sequins are fabulous bubbles.

I passed on getting that and after seeing your card could just kick myself, this is simply amazing! And your scraps card too, so sweet and so perfect for an anniversary, just so romantic.
ReplyDeleteThe first card is just stunning Marybeth! It was scary listening to the news reports and know that they couldn't fight the fire from the air - so thankful things have calmed down.

ReplyDeleteOh I'm so happy to hear that everything is alright after that fire! That would be so scary! We've had quite a few fires in our area this year too. Your first card is stunning! I've seen it on Pinterest many times! If it were mine I would say I loved it too ;) The second one is gorgeous too! Love the pretty shades of blue and stamps and dies you chose for this technique! Looks so intriguing!
ReplyDeleteSo glad you're OK, Marybeth! I feel so bad for those who lost their homes :( Both of your cards are really gorgeous, I particularly love the card you made for MIM, it's FANTASTIC!!

ReplyDeleteThis is way to close for comfort. I'm so glad you are fine and escaped any of the fire. These things are so very sad for the people involved and my heart goes out to them. These two cards are beautiful. The gold embossing sure sets that card off.
ReplyDeleteVery Pretty!!!
ReplyDeleteThose pictures are still so shocking. I'm am SO glad you are all okay. And that this last weekend was relaxing and enjoyable. Your cards are fantastic. I can't believe you were able to create them after such a stressful day. I especially love the propose a toast card....I was thinking the ice cream cone die would work great for this technique.
ReplyDeleteYour cards are wonderful! Love the embossing on the first and the soft colors on the second one. The fire pictures are very scary! Glad you are all okay!
