ColourQ #194

I made these two cards using a never inked PTI set With All My Heart. Thought I would have used this set more but I don't really make 'I love you' cards for my husband. Back in the day before I made my own cards, we used to buy Hallmark or greeting store cards. It was getting expensive to mark each occasion with these cards - can't believe some are over $5! So we started a little journal that we pass back and forth to each other when we want to mark each celebration or milestone. Its wonderful to read what we wrote to each other over the years.

Color inspiration is from ColourQ this week.



And BIG THANKS to you all who stop by here regularly and leave wonderful comments and kind words. I appreciate all of you!

Supplies:
Paper: Neenah White
Stamps: PTI With All My Heart
Ink: PTI Pure Poppy, Hawaiian Shores, New Leaf, and Melon Berry

Happy Pinwheels

I decided to make another card using this week's ColourQ colors. Since the scheme was summery, I pulled out an old wooden stamp I have (wood, ahhhh! Long time no see!) of one of my favorite pinwheel images.

Layout inspiration is from the sketch at the Fusion challenge #11 (Jackie's hypothesis) this week.

Thanks for taking a look! Hope you are having a great weekend.

Supplies:
Paper: Memory Box, Neenah White, PTI Simply Chartreuse
Ink: Momento Teal Zeal, PTI Pure Poppy & Hawaiian Shores, Stampin Up Certainly Celery

CAS(E) This Sketch #32

Hi!

For this week's CAS(E) This Sketch challenge, I made a birthday card with a little bit of sparkle. Been wanting to glitter up a line of Scor-Tape since I see this done so many times but was a little weary of how well the glitter would stick and stay on. I hate random glitter everywhere in the house. But surprisingly this technique worked out really well and I will be glittering things like this more often!

Thanks for stopping by!

Supplies:
Stamps: PTI Tremendous Treats Birthday
Ink: Archival Black
Paper: Memory Box
Other: PTI Double Ended Banner Die, Copic Markers, Scor-Tape, Fine Glitter, Cuttlebug Swirls embossing folder

ColourQ #193

The gals at ColourQ this week have a great color combination. Its seriously screams summer and fun.

I made two cards for this challenge.

Here's my second card:

My first card was not really a success. Know how you have something in your head that you think is gonna be SO GREAT? And then you spend a half hour creating it and doesn't quite look right. The ink gets smeared. There's a random blot because of some extra ink on the block. UGH. Then you keep adding this hoping to make it look better (here, the stars) but it doesn't always work. So you go back to the drawing board hoping to redeem yourself and make yourself feel better. Hence, my first card above!

Has this ever happened to you?

Supplies for Thank You:
Stamps: PTI Tiny Triangles and Birthday Basics
Ink: Momento Teal Zeal, Stampin Up Certainly Celery, PTI Hawaiian Shores & Pure Poppy
Cardstock: Neenah White and PTI Hawaiian Shores

PTI Make It Monday #120 Overlapping Ombre

I LOVE the Make It Monday theme for this week. The ombre look is so trendy right now and relatively easy to recreate. Think I'm gonna have to try this technique again!

I think the hardest part about creating ombre is selecting the colors & shades to use. For my card I used PTI Raspberry Fizz, Hibiscus Burst, and Sweet Blush because with three little girls in my house, pink is always a good choice. And what little girl wouldn't like pink ice cream?

Thanks for stopping by!

Supplies:
Stamps: PTI Sweet As Can Be, Birthday Basics
Ink: PTI Raspberry Fizz, Hibiscus Burst, Sweet Blush, & Pure Poppy
Paper: Neenah White, PTI Kraft
Other: Lifestyle Crafts Dotted Embossing Folder and PTI Half and Half Dies

Merci

Before I show you the thank you cards I made last week, just wanted to say THANKS to all of you who take the time to visit and comment. I really appreciate your sweet words and encouragement.

So here's a card I made using this week's CAS(E) This Sketch challenge. I don't have any feather stamps so I substituted a floral arrangement instead. The bottom panel is made up of layered heart borders.

I like the look of the raised panel over the card base, especially with the border on the bottom. I see this done all the time but have never really done it.

Next card is using the color story at Play Date Cafe this week.

Thanks for stopping by!

I just made several cards with banners so decided to try something else in place of the banners for the challenge at Freshly Made Sketches this week.

Hope you like the change. Thanks for stopping by!
