Thank You...Yellow Rose

This week's challenge at Celebrate The Occasion  is a "Thank You" Card.

Finished Card: 4 1/4" x 5 1/2"

Materials:
Cardstock: White, Black and Patterned Paper

StazOn Jet Black Ink
sugarloaf Whispers Strokes Markers
CardzTV with Mary Clear Stamps Ticket Talk "Thank You!"

I actually made this card last month (but never posted it) when I first started playing around with stamping and coloring. (I'm definitely hooked now). I really like the way it turned out.  It reminds me of my mother. My mother told me that the day I was born, a white rose bloomed in our yard. So she always referred to a white rose as the "Dana Rose". Yea I know, this rose is yellow...well, her favorite color was yellow. So now you understand why it reminds me of her. (I miss her so much...it's been 20 years). (Oh my, where did the time go?)

Thanks for stopping by.

CardzTV DT Challenge #6 "Anything Goes!"

Pin It

This challenge at CardzTV is "Anything Goes!" Now I don't know about anyone else, but sometimes I find this type of challenge the hardest. Too many directions that you can go...

Here is what I came up with:

Finished Card: 4 1/4" x 5 1/2"

Materials:
Cardstock: White and Purple
Inkadinkado Clear Stamps, Doodle Flowers "Tulip"
CardzTV with Mary Clear Stamps, Think Spring, "Friends are Flowers in the Garden of Life"
Sugarloaf Whispers Strokes Markers
Spellbinders Nestabilities Labels Two, Largest
Cuttlebug Embossing Folder Herringbone
Black Pigment Ink
StazOn Jet Black Ink
Purple Ribbon
4 Small Purple Buttons
Mounting Tape

I stamped the tulip 3 times and added the grass at the bottom. Don't you think it came out nice?

I needed a birthday card, so I decided to stamp "Happy Birthday" from the CardzTV with Mary Clear Stamps "Ticket Talk" Set on the inside of the card underneath "in the garden of life". Also, don't forget that Mary is giving away a set of stamps on her blog (Click here).

Sketch...Die Cuttin' Diva's

At Die Cuttin' Diva's this week, the challenge is a sketch.

This is my card:

Here is the sketch:

Finished Card: 4 1/4" x 5 1/2"

Materials:
Cardstock: White, Green and 2 Different Patterned Papers
Inkadinkado Clear Stamps Doodle Flowers
Sugarfloaf Whispers Strokes Markers
StazOn Jet Black Ink
Spellbinders Nestabilities Labels Five, Largest
EKS Border Punch Scallop Diamond
Cuttlebug Embossing Folder Herringbone
Queen and Co Pearls, Grass Green 2 Small and 2 Large
Green Ribbon
Mounting Tape

I stamped the tulip image three times, colored and then cut it out. I single mounted the tulips on the Nestabilities cut (which is the same paper as the largest background). The "grass" at the bottom is double mounted. No sentiment as of yet. I figure I could use it for a variety of occasions...Birthday, Anniversary, Mother's Day, Thinking of you, Get well or even a Just Because.

Been playing with the markers lately, but I need to get back to the Cricut...I know it misses me...lol. It's fun to "play" with other tools that we seem to forget. Maybe there is something that you have not used in awhile? Think about it...I would love to hear what it is. Leave me a comment.

Ladybug Hugs and Daisy Kisses

Pin It

If you saw yesterday's post, you know I bought some new stamps (for practically nothing!). I "colored" another daisy (like the one yesterday, but with different colors). I was looking for some kind of paper to coordinate with it..and well it just came together so quickly...I LOVE it when that happens!

Here is my card:

Finished Card: 4 1/4" x 5 1/2"

Materials:
Cardstock: White, Dark Red and Patterned Paper
Inkadinkado Clear Stamps Doodle Flowers
CardzTV with Mary Clear Stamps, Think Spring "Ladybug Hugs and Daisy Kisses"
Queen and Co Pearls, Classy Red, 1Large and Berry Red, 1 Large, 1 Medium and 1 Small
Small Circle Punch
Mounting Tape

I mounted the Daisy and the Ladybug (although I think it is hard to tell in the picture).

I am entering this into two challenges: The Craft Spot (Anything Goes) and Die Cuttin' Diva's (Anything Goes). Wish me luck! Let me know what you think...

Thank You

The Celebrate The Occasion challenge this week is to make a Thank You card and you must use a punch. I had a rewards certificate (for $10) from AC Moore and bought a new stamp set today (actually I got two different sets and only paid a little over $2 after the certificate...the stamps are 40% off also...woo hoo...I love a bargain!!!). I've been wanting to try my hand at a little "coloring" with markers.

Here is my card:

Finished Card: 4 1/4" x 5 1/2"

Materials:
Cardstock: White, Yellow, Mustard, Green and Patterned Paper
McGill Botanicals Pine Punch
Inkadinkado Clear Stamps Doodle Flowers
Inkadinkado Clear Stamps All Occasions "Thank You"
StazOn Ink, Jet Black
Sugarloaf Whispers Strokes Markers, Various Colors
Queen and Co Pearls, Sunflower Yellow 2 Large, 2 Medium and 3 Small

Not too bad, I guess. I'll keep playing...lol.

Thank you for dropping by...I would love to hear what you think...

You never know what you can do unless you try...
