Sweet Sunday Sketch #95

HELLOOOO!!!!! I'm Back!!!!... well quite possibly minus a serious amount of MOJO... but I'm Back.. and my first creation since my beautiful family and I went on holiday is of course a GORGEOUS Sweet Sunday Sketch!!!!

Before I show you my card.. and I hope you're not disappointed... I have to say THANKYOU for all bearing with me during my little hiatus!! I'm hoping to do much better!! :D

Ok so onto my card:-

 

And here is the gorgeous sketch:-

I've made another Chrissy card... well it is almost Christmas.. and well you know me.. I still haven't gotten all of my Christmas cards ready to be sent out!!! 

I've used just a little bit of my FAVE Chrissy set at the moment, Contempo Christmas.. in the form of just the sentiment... I didn't want to send you all into complete shock by omitting it completely from my first project back.. haha. And.. I thought it might be nice to use my OH SO CUTE Owl Punch.. and deck him out in some Christmas attire!!.. What do you think??

This layout is FABULOUS.. quick, simple and GORGEOUS. I definately think I'll be using this one again, and again!!

Oki.. I'm running out of time..and given it's my first week back I'd best be getting this posted on time.. Right???

Here's what I used:-

Ink:- Cherry Cobler
Accessories:- Dimensionals, Owl Punch, Pearl Jewels

Christmas in {pink and chocolate}

Now... don't fall off your chair in shock!!!.. I know it's mid week and I... Yes I, the one and only SJ have a card to show you.... ooohh!!!.. haha

I was recently asked to make a Christmas card in Pink and Chocolate, two of my VERY favourite colours.. yes I know you're all shocked to hear that!! hahah

The problem with being asked to make a particular card is that I tend to OVER THINK the whole thing... you know, start something, put it down, start another, look at the first thing, put it back down, look at the second thing, put that back down, start another thing... blah, blah.. you get the idea, Right?! Does anyone else have this "over thinking" problem or am I all alone?

Anyhoo... I came up with this, although the photo isn't really doing this Shimmery little card the justice it deserves. I LOVE the new Shimmer Paints, NO REALLY!!! I LOVE the new Shimmer Paints. All that gorgeous shimmery goodness in one little pot.. BUT... it's SOOOO hard to photograph!!!

Right... I'll stop blabbering and show you the card:-


The colour combo is Pink Pirouette, with Early Espresso, which has been put through my Big Shot with the GORGEOUS Vintage Wallpaper Impression Folder... LOVE!!! The baubles are from... can you guess???? YEP.. Contempo Christmas and are stamped in Espresso and then covered with SHIMMER PAINT!!! LOVE, LOVE!! Oh and the ribbon comes in the form of some satiny Pretty in Pink goodness... YUMMMMMM!!!!

So, what do you think??? YES or NO?

Thanks so much for stopping by.

Sweet Sunday Sketch #91

Happy Sunday!!! It's time for another FABULOUS Sweet Sunday Sketch!!!

Today I've kept mine nice and CAS!!! Oh and a little Christmassy too!!! Gotta get that STASH all ready ... there isn't really that long to go!!! And when it comes to mass producing Christmas cards... i've found (the HARD way) that CAS is definately the way to go!!

Soooo.... here is my card:-


And here is the Sketch:-


I've used a little creative license this week... and flipped the oval but left the stripes going the same way as the sketch... oohhh.. RULE BREAKER.. right?... bwhahah

I am LOVING my Contemp Christmas set at the moment... oh wait.. you've probably guessed that considering my last .. um.. FOUR posts have all used it!!! .. I can't promise that there will be a break in that transmission any time soon... hahaha.

I've used Crumb Cake (Kraft), Very Vanilla and Cherry Cobbler (LOVING!!!) for this card. The tree was stamped in Old Olive and the base coloured using my Marker and stamped onto Vanilla cardstock and then a little Rhinestone was put up onto the star.... Chrissy trees need sparkle ... right? hahah. I then added a scalloped border around the image in Cherry Cobbler ( did I mention LOVE at the moment!!) To get the little scallop border I punched out two Scallop Ovals using my SU! Punch then Cut one of the in half length ways and attached to either side of the the tree image then cut the top and bottom of the other scallop and attached to the top and bottom of the image... have I confused you???? if you want more deets just let me know!!

The strips going across the card are made by attaching double sided tape and plonking the entire contents of my Dazzling Diamonds pot on to them then replonking the contents back into the pot before brushing away the left over sparkles... my desk and I are VERY sparkly at the moment!! hahaha

That's pretty much it!!! See CAS!!!

Sweet Sunday Sketch #90

Happy Sunday!!! It's time for another Sweet Sunday Sketch Challenge!!!

Today's sketch was AMAZING to work with.. REALLY it was... I had my card whipped up in no time... which is AWESOME.. considering I started making it about an hour BEFORE it was due to be posted.. tsk.. tsk.. hahaha

So here is my card for this week:-


And here is the FABULOUS sketch:-


I've used my NEW and FABULOUS stamp set Contemp Christmas!! LOVING this set!! and MY NEW Jolly Holiday DSP.. LOVELY!!! I've also used some retired Kiwi Kiss (only because I've got a Stamp-a-Stack this week and need EVERY scrap of my Old Olive.. oops!!!) The scallop along the width of the card is Cherry Cobler and I've added some also retired Riding Hood Red Taffeta Ribbon, although if you had some white taffeta ribbon you could colour it to Cherry Cobbler.. CLEVER.. right?!!!

The tree is stamped in Kiwi Kiss and Choc Chip for the trunk and the sentiment in Cherry Cobbler!! Ooh and I've also added a little Rhinestone to the top of the tree for a little bling!!
