Joy

 

Hello, happy Sunday! I hope everyone had a wonderful weekend. Today's card was created for the latest Just Us Girls card challenge. I created this card by layering some basic black cardstock onto my white A2 card base. Then, using piece of patterned paper from The Paper Studio's Vintage Christmas 6x6 paper pack, I created a frame that I popped up off of the card base using thin foam tape. I then die cut the word Joy using Echo Park's Santa Claus Lane Wreath Of Joy die and red and green cardstocks. I adhered all of the elements to the card, and finished it all off with red gem stickers from Honey Bee Stamps Harvest Festival sticker pack and white gel pen details. Thank you for stopping today, and if you like my card, be sure to leave a comment. I appreciate and read them all!

Thinking Of You

 

Hello, and happy Sunday! My card today was created for the latest Color Throwdown card challenge. I created my card by layering a square panel of kraft cardstock onto my ivory A2 card base. I then cut a small square panel using more ivory cardstock and embossed it using a Spellbinders embossing folder. I adhered it to the kraft panel and added some fun kraft colored twine almost to the top. I die cut 3 maple leaves using the stitched detail leaf dies from Jillian Vance, one in terra cotta and the other two in mustard. I popped them up off of the focal panel using foam squares. I stamped the sentiment from Stampabilities Card Phrases stamp set using Gina K ink in warm cocoa below the focal panel. I finished this card off with some pretty mustard colored gems from Honey Bee Stamps Harvest Festival gem sticker pack. I love how clean and simple this card turned out. Thank you for stopping by my blog this evening!

Happiest Of Birthdays-Send A Smile 4 Kids

This month at Send A Smile 4 Kids were are celebrating dads/special guys. I was browsing through my local Tuesday Morning and stumbled upon some really amazing deals on Simple Stories 6x8 paper pads. One of the ones I picked up was the Vintage Seas paper pack. It's full of beautiful vintage nautical-themed papers. My father is a sailor and lives near the sea, so I thought this paper pack would be perfect to create cards with him in mind. The pack comes with several sheets of cut-aparts that create a beautiful scene. So, this card was created with that single paper pad with the exception of some Stampin' UP cherry cobbler cardstock and the sentiment, which is from Papertrey Inks Celebrations stamp set that I stamped in Gina K Designs navy ink and trimmed into a sentiment strip and adhered to the card. To finish the card off, I added some ephemera from the Nautical bits collection and added a few Harvest Festival gem stickers from Honey Bee. I love when I can put a card together with very few supplies and for next to nothing in the way of cost! Now, be sure to stop by the Send A Smile 4 Kids blog and see how the rest of the design team was inspired this month.
