FMS450

Made a few quick cards using SEI's Couture Paper Pad. Fell in love with these papers long ago, so bought both the 12 x 12 and 6 x 6 pads. Still find them perfect for so many different occasions. This one is card to cheer someone who is in the hospital. I made it following Sketch #450 at Freshly Made Sketches. Thanks for looking!

Supplies Used: 

Paper: SEI:Couture

Dies: Spellbinders circles, MFT Stitched Circle Stax, Sizzix: Swirls

Stamps: TSOL: Monograms2build

 

MOJO 462 #2

Here is the second Sympathy Card I made for Mojo Monday #462. This time I rotated both of the scalloped squares, added a white border and used a white swirl. The other card follows the sketch more closely, but I like this one a little better - I think the white makes it look a little brighter. TFL!

SUPPLIES USED:

Paper: Our Daily Bread Designs: Christian Faith

Dies: Our Daily Bread Designs: Ornamental Crosses, Sizzix: Swirls, Nestabilities: Scalloped Squares, EK Border Punch: Open Scallop

MOJO 462 #1

Sadly, I was in need of several Sympathy Cards. I always have such a hard time writing these cards out, so I prefer to stamp the sentiment inside while leaving the front free of words. I followed the sketch for Mojo Monday #462 using papers from Our Daily Bread Designs. Once I chose all the papers, I decided to rotate the inner square to frame the cross better. I struggled with what to use for a circle embellishment - buttons and bows didn't seem to belong on this sympathy card, I decided on using the swirl, but in retrospect I wish I would have die cut it in white so it would show up better. Thanks for stopping by!

Fab Friday 93

Oh how I just LOVE the color combo of ColourQ Challenge #354! This is the first of two cards I am entering in that challenge today. Wanted to use the gorgeous Vintage Roses Stamps & Dies and was very happy with how the cool blue rose turned out. When I saw the color challenge, I immediately decided to use my new diagonal stripe stencil in black. I cut a small scallop border on the blue paper before adhering my striped strip. The sentiment was stamped onto a piece of white cardstock I had die cut using the matting basics dies to which I added a black outline border with a marker. I stamped some plain, simple leaves in grey and tucked them under the rose and added a small scalloped strip of blue under the sentiment box. I'm also entering this card in the Fab Friday 93 Sketch Challenge. TFL!

I was inspired by this awesome card by Jen (sorry for not referencing sooner):

Embossed Flourishes

Created this lovely panel using the detailed Texture Flourish stencil from memory box. I stamped VersaMark over the stencil, sprinkled it with clear embossing powder, heat embossed it and sponged distress inks over the panel. I love the look of the finished panel! I added some flourishes, flowers and a button to complete the card.  I used TSOL's swirl stamps and a sentiment stamp from Our Daily Bread Designs to decorate the inside of the card. TFL!
