FMS192, CASology & The Challenge...Nautical Thank You Card

Hey everyone,

 

Today, I am sharing a card I made using the sketch this week at Freshly Made Sketches, the cue word from CASology - Nautical, and the theme challenge at The Challenge - Nautical:

 



                             

 

 

 

 

                                

 

 

 

 

My card:

 

 

Since I had SU! By the Tide Stamp Set on my craft table, I decided to create a Nautical thank you card.  Using the skewer for the rod and some twine for the line is not my original design.  I actually saw this great idea on Pinterest a year ago, but unfortunately, I was unable to find the card.

 

Supplies:

Paper: Whisper White, Night of Navy, Real Red (SU!); Stamps: By the Tide (SU!), Thanks a Bunch (Hero Arts); Ink: Not Quite Navy, Sahara Sand, Early Espresso; Tools: Classic Circle (Spellbinders), Other: Skewer, Hemp Twine, Stamp-a-ma-jig, Sticky Strip

 

 

Thanks for stopping by today,

Happy Monday!

It was nice to have a day off from work today!  I have quick card to share for this week's Dynamic Duos.  We were asked to use Black and Daffodil  Delight.

My card:

A sweet friend gave me a few spool chipboards she no longer wanted, so I decided incorporate one on my card this week.  The card base is Basic Black, followed by Whisper White.  I simply wrapped some yellow embroidery floss from my cross-stitching days around the spool, and added a safety pin as an accent.  The sentiment was computer generated.  A very quick and easy card!

Thanks for stopping by,

CMCC#6 ... Thank You Card

Hi Everyone,

Today's card was created for this week's Colour Me..! Challenge - Monochromatic Wisteria Wonder.

My card:

My card begins with a Whisper White case base.  For a bit of subtle interest, I stamped at the bottom of the card some texture using SU! Summer Silhouettes in Wisteria Wonder ink.  The vase was die-cut with the PTI  Mega Gracious Vases Dies.  I then inserted what looks like wooden tree branches using Memory Box Woodland Branch.  The sentiment is from Inspired by Stamping Small Fancy Labels 18, and was stamped in Crumb Cake ink.  I was inspired by an arrangement of pots and flowers at Home Goods.

I'm also linking up to Inspired by Stamping - February Customer Gallery Contest.

Hello Friends!

Happy New Year! 

There is a brand new creative challenge called Colour Me...!  This week, we are asked to use Island Indigo + neutral.

                                       

My card:

Today, I decided to go with a clean and simple card.  The card base is Crumb Cake, with a layer of Very Vanilla card stock adhered on the right-hand side.  Using the Memory Box Petite Umbrella, I die-cut 2 umbrellas and layered the negatives over some Island Indigo card stock.  To add some texture, I adhered a scalloped edging underneath the Very Vanilla card stock panel.  The sentiment is SU! Wetlands, and was stamped with Island Indigo ink.  As a final touch, I added two small pearls to the umbrellas.

Thanks for taking a peek,

Happy Monday!

I'm popping in very quickly to share a card for this week's Dynamic Duos.  We were asked to use Kraft and Black with the option of Wet Embossing.

My card:

This is definitely a CAS card.  I began with Crumb Cake cardstock, paired with layers of Basic Black and Very Vanilla.  I stamped the image from Technique Tuesday Wildflowers in Memento Basic Black, and adhered the three squares onto a piece of Basic Black cardstock.  I stamped the sentiment from Wetlands Stamp Set with more black ink, and there you have it!

I'm linking up at Link Up Tuesday.

Have a wonderful evening!

The Kraft Journal: Use Any Sketch & The Paper Players #147

Hello my friends,

I'm here to share a card for this week's The Kraft Journal Challenge.  We were asked to use any sketch, so I decided to use this week's The Paper Players Challenge.  LeAnne has a fabulous sketch for us:

  



My card:

The base of the card is Crumb Cake, followed by Chocolate Chip cardstock.  The patterned papers are from SU! Bella Rose DSP.  I love the Ruby Red, Old Olive and Crumb Cake color combo!  The little teacups are from the Tea Shoppe Stamp Set.  I fussy cut each cup and placed them on top of each other.  To jazz it up a bit, I added a flower using the Boho Blossoms Punch and adhered a tiny pearl in the middle.

Thanks so much for stopping by,
