Just a Note

Good morning!

 

Lizzie is hosting this week's Papertrey MIM Challenge and she has a video on how to make a spinner card. This is my very first one so I wanted to keep it simple.

 

Here are the supplies I used:

 

What the Doodle Butterfly and coordinating die.

A sentiment from Topiary Trio

Ombre Stripes patterned paper.

 

The center was die cut using the rectangle Peek-A-Boo Window die by MFT and the images were colored in with Zig Real Color Brush Markers.

 

Have a fabulous weekend!

Celebrate Today

Good morning!

 

We are currently in the middle of a winter storm here in Southeastern Wisconsin and expecting up to eight inches by early morning. Perfect stamping weather!! I have my crafting table positioned right in front of a fairly large window so I can watch it snow while I stamp.

 

My card today was created and entered into Papertrey's January Blog Hop inspired by the photo pictured below. Aren't these cookies gorgeous?

 

 

 Here are all the Papertrey Ink goodies I used.

 

Scalloped A2 Vertical Die

Floral Bouquet from Don't Forget to Write Make-It-Market Kit

Word Die from Color Pop Florals Mini Kit

Clear Sequins from Sunshine and Rainbows Mini Kit

 

Thanks so much for stopping by and a fabulous day!

ATSM Challenge #226 - Anything Goes

Hello friends!

 

This week at ATSM it's every one's favorite challenge.

 

Anything Goes



I have chosen to use this beautiful image from the set Especially for You by Happy Little Stampers and make a sympathy card. Not my favorite type of card to make but it's always handy to keep a few on hand. I lightly colored the image with Gelatos and framed it with the A2 Scalloped Vertical die by PTI.

 

We would love to have you stop by and play along. Visit the rest of the design team and see their take on the challenge.  

 

Peace, love and joy!

Christmas Card Chalenge #4

Welcome friends and happy 2017!

 

Here is your photo inspiration for the next two weeks at Christmas Card Challenges. It's optional and you don't have to use it.  Just remember to make a Christmas themed project.

 

 

I kept my card very simply by stamping just a couple of images from Jingle All the Way by MFT and a sentiment by Lil' Inkers onto a die cut stitched rectangle wafer die by Simon Says Stamp. Images were colored in with my Zig Real Brush Markers.

 

Now it's your turn. We would love to see you in our gallery. Please do stop by and see what the rest of the designers created and leave them some comment love.
