Dynamic Duos #57

Happy Saturday!

I have a card to share with you for this week's Dynamic Duos #57.  We were asked to use Pear Pizzazz and Basic Black with an optional plant theme.  The one thing that came to my mind was a masculine get well card!

My card:

The base of the card is Whisper White, then Basic Black cardstock. I frame cut 3 circles and placed on top of a piece of Whisper White cardstock.  The opening was sponged with Pear Pizzazz ink, then stamped with SU! French Foliage Stamp Set using Memento Tuxedo Black ink.  The sentiment is from SU! Thoughts and Prayers.  I really like the way it turned out.

Thank you for stopping by,





The Paper Players Challenge #131

Hello my friends,

I'm sharing a card I made for this week's The Paper Players Challenge.  This week's theme is sympathy cards.  Ironically, I created a sympathy card last week for another card challenge, so my stamp sets were still out! 

My card

I wanted to create a masculine sympathy card,which I think is a bit harder than a feminine sympathy card.  The case base is Whisper White, followed with Crumb Cake and Night of Navy cardstock.  The flower is from SU! Love & Sympathy and the sentiment is from SU! Thoughts & Prayers.  I didn't add any rhinestones or bows since it's a masculine card.   

Thanks so much for stopping by,

"Nothing But Kraft" Challenge

Hello my friends,

Yesterday, I posted a card for the Dynamic Duos & The Paper Players Card Challenges, and it slipped my mind that I can also enter it at the "Nothing But Kraft" Challenge - Thank you, Tammy!

Here is my card:

I created a simple and clean sympathy card.  The base is Crumb Cake, next is Soft Suede then another layer of Crumb Cake, embossed with Square Lattice Folder. The sentiment is from SU! Thoughts & Prayers Stamp Set.  I always like to add butterflies to sympathy cards.  It gives the card a peaceful feeling.  To finish it off, I simply added a small pearl to each butterfly and Very Vanilla Satin Ribbon across the bottom. 

Thanks so much for stopping by,



IBS #18 ~ Sketch Challenge

Hello my friends,

Yesterday, I created this card for this week's Inspired by Stamping Challenge #18

This is my card:

I once again used pretty paper from SU Sweet Pea Paper Pack ... I really love this pack.  The sentiment is from SU! Thoughts and Prayers stamp set.  I carefully cut out the yellow flowers and added a brad in the middle - I used SU Vintage Vogue.  Ribbon and pearls are from my stash. 

This card is for a dear friend of mine, who is scheduled to have surgery very soon.  I hope she likes it.

Thanks so much for looking!
