Tuesday Morning Sketches #309

Good Morning!  Thank you for stopping by.  This week's sketch is up at Tuesday Morning Sketches and this one is by Jessi.  It's a lot of fun, great elements that can be twisted, turned, flipped - any way you want to do it.  Our sponsor this week is Deedee's Digis.

My card features Birthday Bunnies and I really couldn't resist turning the balloon into a little shaker.  This card is so fun and bright - perfect for a birthday card.

On my card, I'm using Hippie Chick mat stack by DCWV.  It's been my thing lately to emboss the base.  I also used some left over orange glitter paper.  I made tags for the Dazzlers (dance team) to go on goodie bags.  Their logo is pair of pointe shoes, so I cut 110 of those out of the glitter paper.  I'm glad the girls liked them enough to put them on their dance bags!

Anyway, here's a close of up that balloon.  I just out it out, put a small piece of transparency down and then filled with stars.  So fun and so easy.

Please join us at the TMS blog so you can see what the team created and while you're there, you may as well play along.  Have a great day.

Tuesday Morning Sketches #308

Good Morning! Thank you so much for stopping by.  The sketch is up and ready to go at Tuesday Morning Sketches and I think it's a fun one.  I hope you do, too.

This week's sponsor is Stitchy Bear Digital Outlet.  I am featuring a fun image called Tea Time.

I really like how this card turned out.  I started to pull fall colors but it ended bright and happy.  I have some really old SU! In Color card stock - this is Crushed Curry.  I thought it went well with the colors I chose for the image.  Then this paper that I have had around for awhile just sort of fit.  I embellished with some cork.  I purchased a couple of kits from Freckled Fawn - these were irregulars.  I don't see what was irregular, but it was a good deal.  In these kits are these mini cork pieces, they look like coasters.  I cut a piece to make the strips (above) and then used an old Cuttlebug die to cut out the flower/leaves.  I love how these little pieces accented this card!

Please join us for the sketch this week and be sure to visit the team - leave them some love.

Tuesday Morning Sketches #307

Good Morning!  Happy Tuesday.  The sketch is up at Tuesday Morning Sketches and I like this one because it was inspired by a creative cut card.  Our sponsor this week is All Dressed Up and you'll want to head over to the TMS blog anyway, because the Dressy Girls joined in our always inspirational line up.

Here is my card, I am featuring Little Flower Fairy.  I really reduced the size of this image to fit my card.  The card base and elements are by Lori Whitlock (svg file).

The paper is from Linen Closet matstack.  My base is Tiki Hut from Raisin Boat.  The sentiment is also from Raisin Boat.

Thank you for stopping by and we'll see you at TMS.

Tuesday Morning Sketches #305

Good Morning!  It's Tuesday and we all know what that means.  Monday is over!  And the newest sketch is up at Tuesday Morning Sketches.  This week I'm sponsoring and I'll be giving a $10 voucher to Ellen Hutson away.

I really love this sketch that Jessi created for us.  I got to play with some cut files on my Silhouette and I really like how my card turned out.  I'm sorry, I still can't photograph purple.

The tag w/flower is from a set of tags by Snapdragon Snippets, the  sentiment is from the Your Friendship stamp set by Sweet n Sassy Stamps, the paper is from Latte matstack (DCWV)  and the green grosgrain ribbon is from my stash.

This card was a snap to put together.  I hope to see you over at the TMS blog and thank you for stopping by.

Tuesday Morning Sketches #304

Good Morning!  Thank you for stopping by.  The sketch is up at Tuesday Morning Sketches and it's a fun one created by Debbie.  Our sponsor this week is Patti Rowe, CTMH Independent Demonstrator.  You're going to want to join us because she's got a lot special offers because it's her birthday!

Here's my card....

HAPPY BIRTHDAY PATTI!!!

I hope you're day is a special one.

I made this card with some washi tape that Patti sent to secure a cute little pocket that looks like purse and some that I had too.  The flames were created by covering a piece of card stock with yellow washi and then punching it out with a flower punch and then cutting off the petals.  It's a clean and simple card and the colors of the candles just pop with that white background.

Head on over to the TMS blog to play along with us!

Luminary for DigiPlayground

Hello Everyone,

I have a fun project featuring the beautiful 3D Leafy House Box by Samantha Walker.  This is a super cute box for gift giving, but when I first saw it, I immediately saw a luminary.  This is an easy project to put together and would look great outside or just somewhere in your home to add a nice decorative touch.

So here's the box.  You can cut solid card stock for the inside panels if you're using this as a gift box, however, I cut the inside panels from vellum.  Also, if you're using as a gift box, you'll not want to glue the top "roof" tabs together as I have done.  The paper I used is actually from a Christmas stack of papers, but I loved the burlap pattern and thought it would be just perfect for this leafy pattern.

Now, as you can see I cut the design out of the back panel so that I can easily put an electronic tealight candle inside.  If you're going to put this outside, be sure to put some decorative pebbles around the candle to weigh it down so the wind doesn't take it down the street... although your neighbors might enjoy having one.

This is what it looks like with the candle blazing.  Gorgeous isn't it?  I love it.  And make sure you check out Samantha Walker's other designs that are just like this.... there's one's with Halloween motifs that would be so cool!!

Thank you for stopping by!  Be sure to scroll down for my Tuesday Morning Sketches post, too.

Tuesday Morning Sketches #303

Good Morning!  The newest TMS sketch is up and this one was create by Kris.  I love this sketch, not only did the sketch turn out cute but it's sure to produce cute results in cards.  I also used this sketch for my scrapbook page that I'll be sharing on Saturday for my Deedee's Digis post.  Be sure to come back and check it out.

Anyway, our sponsor this week is Sweet n Sassy Stamps and I'm featuring Thankful Tommy Turtle colored digi stamp.  I also pulled out some very very very old SU! stickers that came in the Simply Scrappin' kits.  I don't even think they do those anymore.  I also used some epoxy stars from Freckled Fawn.

I did want daisies but I couldn't find any in my stash but I think this turned out well anyway.  It's a happy card.

Be sure to stop by to see the cards created by the team - they are all great!
