This card was mailed to a couple of “love birds” in Belgium: my little sister and her husband of 11 years. Happy Anniversary, G²!
I combined the image from a brand-new SU! hostess set with the word love from an old Sell-A-Bration set, using the SC298 sketch from SCS. Together they fit nicely on the beaded oval die-cut, to which I added a little bit of Old Paper distress ink. Did I mention I love these glimmer brads? This time I used them to embellish a strip of Tasteful Trim, cut from Sahara Sand card stock.
Thanks for stopping by!

I’m back! And I’m here with my first Christmas card for the upcoming holiday season. Couldn’t resist Roxie’s 300th sketch challenge on SCS.
Sure love those new glimmer brads from SU! They add a nice sparkle to the card without leaving a trail of glitter all over my stamping table.
Thanks for stopping by!

The weather really was too nice to sit inside and make cards today, but I couldn’t resist Julee’s sketch for this month’s Mojo Monday contest. I selected a few papers from the Lap of Luxury DSP package for the various panels. With the tag in mind, I thought the words “hang in there” from the Always on My Mind set would be perfect to use on this card. I colored the white edges of the Concord Crush ribbon with a pinkish white Copic marker to match the papers.
Hope you had a nice Labor Day weekend, and thanks for stopping by!

My dear husband is celebrating a milestone birthday this week, and I wanted to make him a card that incorporated some of his passions. I could make you guess, but they are: bicycling, filming (shooting and editing), and reading.
I stamped the image and sentiment with black pigment ink and embossed them with clear powder. I pierced eight holes in opposite corners of the card and threaded black hemp twine through them. The edges of the patterned papers were distressed with Antique Linen ink. Only two layers of BasicGrey papers were used, which fits the 7 Kids College Fund Challenge of the week.

I enjoyed making this card for my aunt in Belgium, using this week’s Sketch For You To Try. The Dutch happy birthday sentiment was stamped with green ink on white card stock and cut out with a Spellbinders die. Baja Breeze ink was stippled onto the label while it was still inside the die. I layered the flowers from the Simple Friendship set on top of the Simple Flower embossed die cut. The Baja Breeze buttons matched the Kioshi paper from BasicGrey nicely.
