ColourQ and Seize the Sketch

Seize the Sketch

colourQ challenge #215…

Hi, hope you are enjoying your weekend.  I am playing in a new sketch challenge today. The chevrons are washi tape from Stampin Up, the leaves are from Lawn Fawn, The sentiment is Paper Smooches. I also used paper from Stampin Up and Papertrey Ink. 

Saw this on pinterest and made a quick one.

I wanted to show you a box you can make with your envelope punch that we all had to have ! :) I guess you can make all kinds of boxes with it. This will hold 10 cards and envelopes and was so
easy to make.

Curtain Call’s

I couldn't wait to use my new stamps from Purple Onion Designs. A few of my blog friends are designers for this company, that is new to me . I love everything they have made with these new stamps KayM has made some gorgeous cards with these stamps. I placed the order and received my stamps in just a few days. Because the shipping cost less than I paid::::: I received cash back with my order! That was a first for me. I also received a few free stamps with my order.

 Since I am not the best colorer I took out my very old chalk cubes to color and shade the branch. Snowy the bird was colored with my Copic markers.

I hope you enjoy your weekend. 

We have cooled down in one day almost 25 degrees cooler. Nice!

sentiment stamp is from Stampabilities

Looks like I missed the boat with this one. 

Maybe it says thanks on the inside :) I only read one layer…uggg

Perfect for this challenge though!

Challenge #21 - One Layer Wonder! (Make a One Layer Card)

 I dont make one layer cards ver often.  For this one I used Clyde From Serendipity Stamps and heat embossed him with some very old gold embossing powder I had from way back when. I only colored a tiny bit. I have seen this stamp colored and its gorgeous! My sentiment stamp is from Papertrey Ink Think Big Favorites #20

 I used the largest stitched mat from Lil Inkers Design. Paper from Papertrey Ink Vintage Cream.

Hope you enjoy the rest of your week!

Merry Mondays

Merry Monday #83 {Stripes, Red, Chocolate with Stars or Hearts}

 This first one is a better picture but look closely and see what I forgot to add: 

My Dark Chocolate tree trunk from Lil Inkers tree. 

Good morning ! 

I want to take a min. and thank you all for your sweet comments. I am very grateful for each and every one of you.

I loved the inspiration photo with the deep red and dark chocolate. For this card…. at first... I used the stacked coffee cups then a different tree.  Then changed it all up again. 

The red and white polka dot is washi tape on cardstock then I made my cuts. The tree is from Papertrey Ink, the stars are from WPlus9,  sentiment is from PTI , frame and tree trunk are from Lil Inkers Design and embossing folder Cuttlegug. ( I don't think they make it anymore.)

Thank You!

Monday Mood Board #23

Happy Veterans Day to all our Veterans!

Thank You!

God Bless You!

Well, as you can see this tag was meant for the other mood board but I waited to long to post it. It has been such a busy weekend filled with lots of family. Friday night we had 9 of the 12 grandchildren spend the night! I didn't stop until my

 head hit the pillow. 

I see a few things : like a bit of pink, some leaves, the brown and white twine and the tags.  I stamped the pink leaves on the snowman with Woodland Wreaths and used the die from Stitched Holiday Icons Die So I am interring it for this weeks

The idea for the double tag is from Maile Belles love that idea.

Thanks for stoping by!

Happy Birthday Christina

Happy Birthday Christina!

Since I did not make an elegant card, I wanted you to have an elegant cake.

Thanks again Mrs. Party Planner Joyce!

Christina Is a sweet friend that I got to know from our 12 kits group. Christina is always so thoughtful and kind! When I grow up I would like to make cards just like her!  :) 

On limited time this week I thought I would try a few things : try and  Case one of Christina’s Cards , use the  PTI trees my sweet friend  Nancy sent me, and use this Lawn Fawn  snowman from another sweet friend  Sharron. This is what I came up with, not my normal style but a mix of a few things. 

Seize the Birthday with some Texture

Hope you have a wonderful day Christina!

Enjoy your hop!

Back with a quick card and post for MIM and

colourQ challenge #214...

I really love Dawn’s MIM . I have used other stamps for frames before, but loving using the words to make a frame.

For this card I used Gobble, Gobble Stamp Set from Papertrey Ink. When I stamped the frame I left the first word off … the stitched frame is from LID The paper is Rustic White.

Take Care!

Make It Monday #139: Stamped Square Frames

by Dawn McVey

I think I spent more time trying to get a photo than I did making the card.

Good Monday morning to you!

Edited to say I lied! The stitched square is from Lil Inkers Designs(I use them on almost every card so I sometimes forget to say that.)

Everything I used on this card is from Papertrey Ink. For the frame I used Postmarks Stamp Set. I left off two lines on each end and crossed them in the corner.  When I stamped the trees I picked up the stamp just a bit and re-stamped it for a bit of a shadow.  

I love reading all your sweet comments ! I thank you for taking the time to leave them, when you stop by to take a look.

Stamps: Winter Hills , Postmarks Stamp Set and Think Big Favorites #20
