Some winter love...OWH sketch 191

I used OWH sketch 191 for a winter love card. I like how the red card stock pops against the brown design paper and the black card stock gives everything a bit more definition. I stamped the Paper Smooches sentiment in Memento Lady Bug on white card stock and used Scotch pop up adhesive for the sentiment element. The bling is from my stash.

 

I love the fonts used for Paper Smooches sentiments. Do you have a favorite stamp company for sentiments?

OWH sketch 194

This OWH sketch is loaded with layers which I love. The patterned paper is DCWV. I used brown, red and tan Bazzill for my layers and some white card stock for the sentiment piece. The Stampendous sentiment is stamped in Fresh Ink Chocolate and the whole thing is finished off with an American Crafts brown brad. The layered center square is popped up with Scotch adhesive.  

 

Enjoy your day!

Fun with SEI

I have this 6x6 pad of SEI papers that kinda match, but not really match...know what I mean? So I decided to use this card from Pinterest as my inspiration since it only uses small strips of different papers. I used Fresh Ink Chocolate for the Hero Arts image and Hot Off the Press sentiment. It goes so well with the dark brown Bazzill circle layer and bottom strip. I wanted to use a dark color at the bottom to help anchor the card. I added a black brad by American Crafts to give the whole thing some extra dimension. The circle sentiment is done with Nesties and popped up.

 

These will likely go into my "gift" drawer and be part of a Christmas present.

Many Authentique Thanks

Today I chose OWH sketch 151 and some 6x6 Authentique Loyal papers. I love how these two pieces seem to flow together and look like one piece. The blue and green circles are Bazzill and cut with Nestabilities. The DeNami sentiment is stamped in SU Old Olive and SU Night of Navy onto some ivory card stock. The circles are all popped up with some Scotch adhesive.

 

Are you ready for Halloween? Have you mailed your spooky cards yet?

Thank you x3

I had fun using this Mojo Monday 298 sketch. It's busier than I usually use but I think it turned out quite well. The DP is Basic Grey and the blue and green are Bazzill. The stars are done with Nestabilities. They are held together with an American Crafts brad and popped with some Scotch adhesive. I used SU Old Olive and Fresh Ink Chocolate to stamp the Inkadinkado sentiments.

 

 

I hope you have time to get inky today!

Thank you...OWH sketch 185

These two cards use OWH sketch 185. The papers are Authentique and green Bazzill. The sentiment is DeNami and stamped in Memento Tuxedo Black. The little square is popped up.

Have a wonderful Sunday!

Miss You

I just opened a new 6x6 Authentique: Loyal pad and I'm really loving the colors. The green and blue go great together and it's easy to make some more masculine type cards. This card idea came from Pinterest. The solid blue and green are Bazzill. I was at my LSS for the day when I made these two cards and the owner, Kelle, make the buttons for me on her Cricut since I didn't have my button punch with me. The brads are from Bazzill and hold the two button layers together. It's popped up with some Scotch adhesive. The sentiment is by Daisy Bucket Designs and stamped in Fresh Ink Chocolate.

 

 

Enjoy your weekend!

OWH VCMP, Day 2

I hope everyone is enjoying all of the inspiration! I know I am and I'm looking forward to the challenges for day 2. Let's get started, shall we?

Challenge 6: This is a challenge we all know well, the Sunday sketch. The colored papers on this are Doodlebug, except for the grey which is DeNami. I used a random metal balloon embellishment I had in my stash. I didn't put a sentiment on it, so it can be used for any kind of celebration.

Challenge 7: This is a two part challenge, make a kid's card and follow the tic-tac-toe recipe. I chose things with wings, paper piecing and embossing. I used an adorable Fiskars penguin for my focal point. The scarf and boots are paper pieced from scraps and glued with Scotch Quick-Dry Adhesive. The white is all SU Whisper White and the grey is DeNami. Everything is stamped in VersaFine Onyx Black. The embossing is the Cuttlebug Snowflakes folder gently tapped with an Encore Ultimate Metallic Silver.

Challenge 8: I really had to dig for some fall papers for this challenge. I used my last piece of "leaf" paper already. The patterned papers are all Colorbok. The SU sentiment is embossed in Recollections white. I used OWH sketch 186.

Challenge 9: This one calls for a bee and a "bee" sentiment. It was an easy choice since I only have one bee stamp from a Recollections set which I colored with Copics. The yellow papers are all from SU. I used the Cuttlebug Honeycomb embossing folder and typed the sentiment on the computer. The brads are by American Crafts.

Challenge 10: I loved this challenge, use the negative space of a die or punch, because I've had this idea in my head for awhile. The green stripe star is Colorbok and the red squares star is DCWV; all the stars were done with Nesties. All of the other papers are from my card stock stash. Both sentiments are Paper Smooches, the one on green is embossed with Recollections white as is the white star; the other one is stamped in VersaFine Onyx Black. For the faux stitching, I used a white Gelly Roll pen and black Copic Multi Liner. The embossing folders are Plaid by Darice and Diamond Plate by Cuttlebug. The brown and black layers are popped.

 

What a fun and amazing Virtual Card Making Party this has been to kick off OWH's birthday month. I hope you all had as much fun as I did!
