Sweet Strawberry

 Hello!

Believe it or not, I am back with another card- and a challenge or two! 

I combined a Impression Obsession sentiment with a Sweet n Sassy Stamps (now Creative Worship stamps) with the new sketch and Sunday Stamps.  

I am also linking up to Word Art Wednesday,   Simply Clean and Simple- anything goes. and Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge- Sweet Treats  and Love Those Pretty Papers.  

The strawberry was colored with Copics and fussy cut out.  I used a couple of pieces of scrap paper to create the look of a folded corner and finished things off with a few sequins.  

Thanks so much for stopping by and have a very blessed Easter,

Bold Blooms

Hello!

I hope you are enjoying your summer. Summer is wrapping up here and school just started.  Not sure how that can even be!  

I pulled out a Creative Worship Stamps floral and colored it with Copics.  An old background panel on my desk was the perfect backdrop.  Yes, I am still using up bits and pieces in my stash.  

 The image was fussy cut out and adhered to the background panel.  I outlined the flower centers with a white gel pen.  A sentiment from Stamp Simply was stamped with Versafine Clair Nocturne Ink.  

a few clear sequins finish the card.

Dancing Snowman

 Hello, Hello!  

Summer  is flying by- where the time goes I have no idea.  But once fall gets here, Christmas will be just around the corner, so it was time to make another Christmas card.  

I used a couple of retired stamp sets- one from SnSS and the other from Verve.  The sentiment is current at SnSS, now Creative Worship Stamps.  I went with a turquoise and red color palette as it makes for such as cheerful Christmas card.  

The snowman was colored with Copics and fussy cut out.  I stamped the background panel with my oldie but goodie snowflakes and then determined the placement of the image and sentiment.  

I decided to ground the snowman with a white ring that I made using IO Stamps Wacky Stitched Circle Dies.  everything was adhered to the card and a few sequins were added for shine.

Geranium Joy

 Hello Friends!  

I have been revisiting older stamps like this Geranium from Unity Stamps.  It has not seen ink for quite some time.  

I have also been trying to use bits and pieces sitting on my desk, such as the scalloped patterned paper.  It was the perfect green for the card.  I colored the image with Copics but kept it very loose to give it a bit of a watercolored look.  The image was then fussy cut out.  

The sentiment is from SnSS, now known as Creative Worship Stamps.  I stamped the 'count it all' on a strip of paper and then stamped the 'joy' separate and fussy cut it out.  

The background panel was in my stash- made with a stencil and distress ink, using the reverse stenciling technique. Everything was assembled- scrap paper was used to pop up parts of the flower.  

A few SSS Moonshine sequins finish the card.

Christmas Holly

 Hi Friends! 

Christmas in July!  It is stretch for me to make Christmas cards before autumn, but as it is July, I thought I would crank one or two out.  

I used a couple of my favorite Christmas sets from SnSS (now known as Creative Worship Stamps).  I used the Holly Christmas and Christmas Pine Stamp Sets for this card.  I also used the Diamond Tile Stencil.  

The images were colored with Copics and fussy cut out.  I used some Festive Berries Distress Ink with the stencil for my background panel.  I spattered a bit of water on the background as well as some white paint for a bit of a distressed look.  The sentiment was stamped and the card assembled.  As per usual, a few SSS Moonshine Sequins finish the card.

O, Sing!

 Happy July Fourth!  

Morning was rainy here, so I crafted a bit and finished up this card.  

I used the sketch from Freshly Made Sketches~ 

And colors from Color Dare Color Challenge~  

I used the center, vertical row.  

The bird and flowers were colored with Copics and fussy cut out.  I diecut a ring using IO Stamps Wacky Stitched Circle Dies.  

The card needed something else, so I heat embossed a retired IO Stamps background stamp in white in the center of the card base and fading out.  

Everything was adhered to the card base, with some of the flowers and bird being popped up on scraps of cs.  A few sequins finish the card.
