Kindness

I'm playing along with CASology's last challenge of the year  focusing on the word...

I decided to make a thank you card for someone who has shown me kindness this year!

This card was so hard for me to keep CAS!  I ended up adding the Sizzix folder embossed background because I just couldn't leave it white all alone, lol!

The pretty flowers are from Reverse Confetti's "Blooms 'N Buds" and a sentiment stamp from Hampton Art. I traced over the letters a bit with a white pencil to make it look more like a chalkboard.  I was almost done, but then I just had to add 5 teeny tiny pearls to round out my card!

Chalkboard Sketch

I got to play along with CAS(E) This Sketch this week!

The dotted line made me think of a school-themed card.  This one uses some old images from AMuse Studio and a sentiment from Hampton Arts.

The ruler was stamped on some gold woodgrain paper and the sentiment and dotted line were heat-embossed in white.

I stamped the alphabet on denim paper hearts that I cut with a PTI die.  The apple is stamped on PTI's white linen paper so the texture showed right through!

So much fun!  Thanks for stopping by!

Curtain Call Challenge Guest!

I was thrilled to be asked to be a guest designer for the Curtain Call Inspiration Challenge this week!  Then I got even MORE excited when this adorable photo arrived...

I found this sweet fox mother and baby stamp by Hampton Arts and decided to make a cozy winter scene...

I stamped the foxes and colored them with Copic markers.  The scene was built with a sheet of white paper embossed with PTI's Woodgrain Impression plate, a piece of vellum embossed with a Sizzix snowflake folder placed over a die cut tree cut from chocolate brown cardstock. The little greenery is a combination of die cut pine boughs from PTI's Tinsel and Tags Kit, and a branch die from Memory Box.

I paper-pieced the baby fox for dimension and added a "Warm Wishes" sentiment from Waltzingmouse Stamps, which I chose after seeing that "Foxy" was a coffee cup!

Now it's your turn to play along!  Visit the Curtain Call Challenge Blog to see the Design Team's wonderful samples and to upload your own creation!  

Thanks so much for visiting!

Just for Fun

I started this card for a sketch challenge, but it took so long that it ended up being just for fun! The birthday stamp is a wooden block stamp from Hampton Art, the flowers are "Fresh Cut Florals" from WPlus9, and the banners and hearts are cut with a Mama Elephant die!

Bottom of My Heart Sketch

I loved the mini collage sketch created by Narelle this week at Freshly Made Sketches and wanted to play along!

I got this stamp from Hampton Arts.  I rarely buy wood block stamps anymore, but I loved the sentiment and the font so much!

I heat embossed the sentiment in white on PTI's Ocean Tides cardstock, then added some white ink with a blender.

The flowers are from WPlus9's Fresh Cut Florals and the patterned paper is from Pink Paislee.  The gingham is linen washi tape that I popped up with dimensionals.

Loved this sketch! It was just in time for all the thank you cards for the teachers that I need to make :)
