High Hopes recipe

This card was made using the High Hopes sketch from last week that I missed but it so happens that the embellies I added to my card fit into this weeks challenge too so I am entering it -- woohoo!!

I only have a few High Hopes stamps and love each and every one of them so decided to use two on this card. The front of the card has a little 'cleaner' and she is covered with paint. I used dimensional snow for this so the splotches of paint actually stand up on the image.

The High Hopes challenge calls for three flowers, two brads and one sentiment. The flowers each have a brad as the center of their flower. Here is a close up of the image.


The inside of the card has another High Hopes image with the remaining portion of the sentiment.
Here is a close up of the second image.

Thanks for taking the time to visit and hope you have a great week!!

WSC27 - Watercolors

This week the challenge at Whimsy Stamps is to use watercolors in your project. I had to ask the DT how they worked with them and then someone said you can use watercolor pencils. Duh!! I have my priscma watercolors that I used before I purchased my Copics. Boy, did I feel dumb!!

So, I dusted them off and this is what I came up with.

I used the Whimsy stamp of the cat with her paw in the fishbowl. The cat looks happy but the poor fish looks a little scared .... LOL. I used my Cricut for the sentiment, two sided paper for the mat and a couple of pink gems for the corners. Here is a close up of the coloring.

Thanks for stopping by and I hope you will join us this week over at Whimsy.

Stampavie DT call

Stampavie is looking for two new design team members. How I would love to be a part of that team! I love all of their creations and the stamps. Here is my entry for this call.

I used the sketch for the current challenge, which I am also entering, and on of my new Sarah Kay stamps, Noel Joy.I was looking for a vintage look so I used some DP from DCWV Luxury stack that I purchased from JoAnn's. I made this a gate fold card with more space on the left than on the right. This sketch fit just perfect for this!

I added some roses, ribbon and pearls around the matted picture. I also embossed a stamp with gold embossing that says Thinking of You. This stamp is from Whimsy Stamps.

I added a small brass envelope to the upper corner with more ribbon and some snow on the ground and the mailbox. Here is a close up of Noel Joy. I matted her using my oval Nesties and then cut out a matting behind using the outside of the largest Nestie.

The shadow that is across her is from the wonderful sunshine, and warm temps, that we had this weekend.

On the inside of the card I again used my Nesties, a few more pearls the same dp.

Whimsy challenge 26 - Round and round

Happy Monday,

This week at Whimsy challenges the challenge is round and round. We were asked to create something with lots of circles.

I found that rather easy because of the dp that I used for this card. It has circles everywhere!! I love the stripes in it also.


For my image I chose the Whimsy lion. He is so cute and so easy to color. Here is a close up.

Thanks for stopping by and hope to hear from you.

Recipe for Friendship

This card qualifies for four challenges:

• Cupcake craft - sketch
• Spoonfull - kitchen, cooking
• Cute card Thursday - Drinks/cocktail theme
• Daring Cardmakers - latest craft punch

I used Tilda from the Yummy Collection and DCWV kitchen collection for the dp.


I colored her with Copics to match the papers. I also used a new MS punch. I added some flowers and a cute little set of spoons. Here is a close up of Tilda.


She is just too cute holding that wooden spoon behind her back and her little pigeon toed feet!

For the inside I found a poem that describes friendship.

Winter Butterflies

This card is made for five challenges:

• Stamp with fun - scene
• Creative Card Crew - snowflakes
• Whiff of Joy - red, cream and 1 other color
• Our Creative Corner - vintage or vintage inspired
• Simon Says - all that sparkles
  

This card uses one of the new stamps from the Whiff of Joy winter collection. She is so elegant, I just love her.

I colored her with Copics and placed her on a swing from Magnolia. I added some now on the branches and also on the leaves of the flowers. Here is a close up.


And of the flowers

And the sentiment

Peppermint candy

I made this card and it fits into three challenges:

• House Mouse - aperture
• Mojo Monday - sketch
• Stamp Something - cute and fuzzy

I used this cute little image that was sent to me by a friend and it is so adorable!!

I used Christmas papers from DCWV, a red ribbon with gold trim, two small bells and a couple of candy canes.

For my circle I have a round stamp that says Merry Christmas. I embossed it with Gold embossing powder from SU! and then cut out the center and outer circle. After I assembled the card for the sketch I cut out the circle part of the card so it would be open.

Here is a close up of this cute and cuddly little house mouse. Isn't he just too adorable??

For the inside of the card I embossed a sentiment and placed it above and over the circle.


Thanks for stopping by and taking a peek at this little fella!!
