Hi peeps!  Hope you had a good weekend….I had many plans of leisurely stamping the weekend away, but somehow my other chores got in my way!  Taxes, laundry, paying bills…..you know how it is!  I did have some nice news, that one of my Easter cards from last year made it into the “Hobby Craft Easter Cards for Expert Crafters” issue!  How exciting!  You can see it HERE.  It’s the one shaped like an Easter egg!  Anyway, I played with  sketch challenge this week from Sunday Stamps:

and made this really simple card using the SAB sets You Brighten My Day and Simply Wonderful:

We have a friend who just bought a house, so once I get her new address, this will be going to her!  It was fun to let the Lullaby DSP do most of the work!  I simply stamped the house in Soft Suede and colored it lightly with my reinkers and an aquapainter.  I took the liberty of adding the banner so I would have a place for my sentiment!  The card base is the In Color of Hello Honey, which I haven’t used much this year, so it was fun to play with that a bit! 

Thanks for stopping in today!

Happy Wednesday, peeps!  I have a cheerful card today using scraps!  The City Crafter Challenge Blog wants us to use up some scraps today and I sure have a lot of them!

 

I also used Karen’s Sweet Sunday Sketch:

I pulled out a bunch of scraps from the Best Year Ever SAB DSP package, along with a few scraps of cardstock, to create my card:

I had some Calypso Coral cardstock already embossed, so I punched out a circle along with the cute little banner from You Brighten My Day for my embellishment:

Some twine and a punched border finished it off!

Happy Wednesday, peeps!  I have a couple of quick cards for you today; both of them are inspired by cards I’ve seen on blogs or on Pinterest!  My sweet friend Nance had a wonderful card (it’s the second one in the post)  this week on her blog, which inspired me to create this card:

I haven’t talked too much about my Paper Pumpkin kits, but I am growing to like them a lot!  December’s kit features shaker cards with these little pre-punched stars that have to be popped out, leaving these cool negative pieces.  I cut one into a strip, backed it with some Basic Black cardstock and created my cut-out word panel with the Little Letters dies.  The stars were diecut with a star from the Circle Card thinlit in Dazzling Diamond and Silver Glimmer paper.  And I used the Paper Pumpkin stamps from the kit for my inside:

I saw this fabulous card on Pinterest from Heather Klump, and recreated it using Little Letters again, this time in Red Glimmer paper:

I had some pretty yarn that matched Soft Sky, so I used it under my letters; the hearts were stamped in Soft Sky, Real Red, Coastal Cabana and Strawberry Slush:

And of course, the In Color sequins were a perfect match!  Thanks for visiting today!

Pudding face!

Happy Saturday, peeps!  Brrr, we are still freezin’ here in the NE section of the country!  Good time to stay inside and stamp!  I’ve been trying to make some samples and I was able to make a couple of cards using some fun sketches!  My first one is from Match The Sketch:

and it uses Big Day (just love this fun set!) and Best Year Ever DSP, both Sale-a-bration items:

The images are stamped with Stazon then colored with markers!  The ribbon is from the Best Year Ever Accessory Park…yummo!

My next one uses the Freshly Made Sketches sketch 168, and I totally missed the sentiment position; hope they don’t throw me out!  Here’s the sketch:

And here’s my simple Valentine card:

I used some fun Valentine papers from the Stacked with Love pack; the large heart is from Epic Alphabet, the small heart is from You Brighten My Day (SAB also), and the sentiment is from Petite Pairs.  Check out the little clear epoxy heart that fits right over the little heart…I just love it!

And here’s the inside; the sentiment is from Teeny Tiny Wishes, and the little hearts are also from You Brighten My Day!  This just makes me smile!

I am entering this one in the Color Throwdown challenge for this week too:

Be sure to come back tomorrow for our next Paper Players challenge!!

Just take a guess as to what she’s saying!
