Simon Says: Use A Stencil

I went to my go to challenge: CAS (E) this sketch. At first I wasn't sure what to make but then decided to use some of my new Poppystamp, stamps and dies. All linked below. That background  is a bit older from Memory box called Texture Mesh. I used my Taylored Expressions blending brushes and Ranger Oxide Inks . If you look closely you can see the I also used the memory box 3d embossing folder EF1006 Heart Bouquet. The patterned paper is from Simple Stories called simple vintage My Valentine.

As a Green Bay Packer fan , we cannot wait for the big game on Sunday .

Birthday Card for Mom

CAS(E) this Sketch #344

Hello, kind crafty friends.  I wanted to play with one of my new stamp sets from Concord and 9th, 

so I made this card for my mom.

 I used my Crimped Frame Die from The Greetery, ( I use this a lot now) I heat embossed the frame and greenery, then fussy cut it out and raised it with foam tape. I watercolored using my Zig Brush Pens. I splattered the sides to go with the sketch .

The guest designer this time is Darnell, Darnell has a beautiful card on the Cas(E) this Sketch blog.

Hope you all have a wonderful week!

 I had many die cut blooms so it was fun to just assemble 

this card as I followed the sketch above .

Most of the products I used are listed below.

Take care friends.

Thank you for the visit.

As I write this post I am sad to say I am watching (tv) Notre Dame Cathedral burn. So very sad.

Happy Friday to you all! This darling Sweet On You die from Wplus9 came in the mail last night (super fast shipping)First thing this morning I made this sweet pin. I have a very deep cut on my right thumb so I could only sew the beads and the rest is hot glued. ( I would prefer to sew it all. Good to know the hot glue worked just fine. 

Front of pin
I used glitter felt from
The Felt Pod

back of ice cream cone pin.
this is lightly stuffed

I know I will be making more of of these and I can't wait for the Pup to come back in stock at Wplus9.

We will be celebrating our very first grandchilds birthday this weekend he will be 16 ..... Time is going by so fast, first with our own beautiful children now the grandkids. Blessed beyond measure. 

It's a good thing I am not getting any older 😉.

God Bless

Simon Says: Add A Sentiment

This is the table my husband gave me over 30 years ago. 

 Easter-time I fill it to the brim with Easter eggs, Christmas...etc.

  I repainted the the lower part of the table, last week, and a happy accident

 ( using  a piece of the wood to prop up what I was painting) I decided to fill it with birch

 branches from one of our trees that blew down in strong winds. 

So far my husband and I love it and it's a perfect fit for our family room .

My husband made all the cuts, and we love how it turned out.

Thank you so much for the visit today! I hope your week 

is a beautiful one!

Simon Says: It’s A Frame Up

 At fist I thought this was the printed version of the blooms then I remembered I stamped it ! 

I know I use it a lot but that's why I bought it :)

 Nice to have stamped blooms ready to go.

I needed a card for a family getting a new trailer and I was inspired by Tracey layout! Love her CAS style!

Hello! I am so excited to be the Guest Designer for CAS(E) this sketch! 

I received an email from Chrissy Larson and of course I said yes! 

I was also very excited when I saw this sketch by N@ Ali ! I knew I would have fun making a card.

Funny thing, I sent this card to a dear friend for her birthday and then I realized I was about 3 weeks early. I guess its better than late.

I stamped the flowers in two colors and stamped with a bit darker in at the edged. 

 Thanks so much for stopping by!
