A little Thanks

Hi Everyone!

I hope your weekend was just wonderful.

Today I am sharing some cards I made over the 

weekend using some sketches

for the November Scrapbook.com card sketch challenge 

and the Pink & Main Challenge.

I know I always need thank you cards, 

so what a perfect opportunity with the 

November Pink & Main stamps challenge: Thanks/Gratitude.

I  used some papers I received in the 

Simon Says Stamp November 2015 card kit and 

the Stitched Greetings from Pink & Main Stamps 

stamped with Chocolate Brown MFT hybrid ink.

I added a scalloped stitched border using 

the Stitched Border 1 die from Pretty Pink Posh.

Then to finish the card, I added some

Totally Pumpkin Trendy Twine to the bottom.

A little faux stitching to the edge and it was done.

The second card I used the adorable Christmouse stamp 

from Pink & Main stamps.

I colored her with my copic markers, added some Wink of Stella clear glitter, Glossy accents and some of my favorite Stardust stickles. I embossed the sentiment that comes with the set in White from SU!. The papers are Snow Day from The paper studio and I added some Real Red and Pool Party cardstock from SU! I added a few pearls from Queen and Co and ribbon from Hobby Lobby.

Thank you so much for stopping by! 

Make sure to join this month's Pink & Main Challenge, there is still time!

Have a wonderful day!

 

Happy Birthday, Lesley!!

Hi Everyone!! 

I'm so excited to wish the owner of Annie's Paper Boutique, 

Trendy Twine and my friend, Lesley

a HAPPY, HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!
I hope you have a wonderful day!!

The Trendy Twine Design Team has 
all made some cards for her special day!

Here is the card I made for Lesley.

I wanted to use one of Lesley's favorite colors, 

Pink on my card for her 

so I wrapped the Raspberry Cupcake Trendy Twine around the cardstock like a gift

then I added a twine bow with a heart button.

I die cut the word "Wishing" from 

the Sending and Wishing stamp 

and die set from Simon Says Stamps 

with some pink Recollections cardstock.

Then I added some Wink of Stella clear glitter brush pen to the "Wishing" and stamped my sentiment in Versafine Onyx Black ink from the same set. I added a few stamped hearts from the set with some Melon Mambo ink.

Card Harmony- Thankful Mice

Hi Everyone! 

Today is the 3rd Monday of the month, 

so that means it's Card Harmony time with my BFF, Stacey! 

This month Stacey picked 

Thankful Mice from Lawn Fawn 

and instead of a card we are doing a 3D project with this set.

These mice are just so adorable!! 

I mean come on, it's Lawn Fawn!! 

For my project, I made a notebook with my cinch.

 I made the notebook 4x6 and used chipboard 

from JoAnn's and all the papers are 

from DCWV Harvest Gathering Matstack. I colored those cute mice with my copic markers and 

added some Wink of Stella in clear.

 I decided to add some stamping on the 

first few pages for some fun.

Of course, I had to make a cute 3x3 card to go 

with the notebook. I heat embossed the sentiment using some Pirate gold embossing powder and versamark ink. 

Thank you so much for stopping by! 

Make sure to check out Stacey's project {Here} 

and leave some love! 

Have a wonderful day!

Fall Hello and Thank you cards

Hi everyone!

Happy Friday!

Are you ready for the weekend yet?

I know I am. We have had colds around here, 

well hubby and I,

thankfully not the kids and I hope they don't get it.

So being off, makes for a long week!

Today I am sharing a few cards I made last week and this week to say Thank You

to a few of our son's Therapists, 

case manager and a lady who shares her time to watch our kids while we attend a parenting group for Autism once a week.

I made these cards for them and also a goodie bag with some yummy chocolate.

For the first two card, I used Jennifer McGuire's Faux metallic background {here} using a few distress inks and some Gold perfect pearls powder. 

The panel is so shimmery and gorgeous!

I then die cut the Lawn Fawn Stitched leaves out of it, added some pretty sequins behind the first card panel. I used the woodgrain embossing folder from Stampin Up 

and made a layer for my card.
I then die cut the Painted Hello from the Simon Says Stamp October 2015 card kit out of

 Gold glitter cardstock from Michaels.

 I used the leaves I die cut from the first card 

for the second card and added another 

Painted Hello to the card panel. I really like 

how clean and simple the card came out.

For my third card, I made another panel using the technique but this panel was much bigger, so I embossed this panel using Fall leaves swirl from Darice. Then I added the Expressions thinlits die from Stampin Up for the Thankful. I added a some chocolate chip cardstock as a mat.

Thanks so much for stopping by!

I'm joining this challenge, everyone needs Kindness and I love this idea!! 

Have a wonderful day!!

Don't forget to spread some love and kindness!

 

APB Stamps- Fall inspired Project Life

Hi Everyone!! 

Today, I am sharing some project life cards inspired
 by Fall and Thanksgiving.

I used the brand new Hello Fall stamp set.

For the first card, I cut some Crumb Cake cardstock to 4x6.

Then I stamped the cute images from 
the stamp set in the same color ink.

I used some Totally Chocolate and 
some Totally Pumpkin Trendy Twines from 

the Newest release to add some handwriting 
touches to my card. 

I lightly drew in pencil the "So Thankful" then 
adhered the Twines using Multi Matte Medium from Ranger.

For the next two cards, I used some 
Project Life 3x4 grid and lined cards.

I stamped the images on colored card stock and cut them out by hand and adhered them to the cards.

I added some sponging to the card edges and images.

I stamped the sentiments in matching colors 
from the sets to be journaling spots.

The smaller cards together. 

I can't wait to use them in my November layout.

I used these products from Annie's Paper Boutique:

because who doesn't love getting candy and in a cute bag!

I used the Lawn Fawn goodie bag die 

and made a shaker front for my bag.

I added some of the Grape Licorice Batty 

- Halloween Sequins to the shaker.

I heat embossed the sentiment and stars in white

Panda Birthday card #2

Hi Everyone!

I am back to share my second card for the 

Pink and Main Challenge #2 Birthdays.

This card is also made with those super cute pandas 

from Pandamonium and the sentiments are from Stitched Greetings.

I used a few sketches that I had on Pinterest 

to make these two cards.

This paper is from Hip, Hip Hooray (American Crafts).

I used Versafine Onyx black for both  

the pandas and sentiments.

The balloons are from the Big Birthday Wishes 

from Simon Says Stamps and those are stamped in 

Pumpkin pie, Melon Mambo and 

Pool Party inks(Stampin Up). 

Then I added some wink of stella and glossy accents to them.
Also, some Totally White Trendy Twine for the strings.

I had to added some cute cheeks to the pandas 

with some stampin pastels.

I used my Uniball signo white gel pen to add some accents.

Then a few enamel dots from recollections 

and Doodlebug to finish off the cards.

Here are the cards together.

Thank you so much for stopping by!
