Hero Arts: CAS/Sketch Challenge

CAS-ual Fridays: Banners & Flags

Word Art Wednesday: Joy

Such a fun card!  I just adore this little birdie, don't you?!  And the sentiment is so fun.  I think this card will be for my sister who adores birds and just started her junior year of high school.  I think she'd appreciate a little note, don't you?

Thanks for stopping by and taking a peek at my card!  I appreciate you being here and  hope you come and join in these challenges!  Happy stamping! :)

An eventful few days...

So, it's been an interesting week.  My DH's car died and I broke my foot.  Bad things happen in 3s.  I'm hoping the 3rd bad thing was when my DH's glasses broke a few weeks ago.  Otherwise, I'm on my guard! ;)  The only thing that has made this week completely bearable was receiving my Hero Arts winnings!!!  They had contacted me to say that the Heyday Sentiments was not available so I was a bit bummed...but guess what?!  It was in the package!!!

See~

Of course, I automatically had to start using these sets!!!  I received the Heyday Sentiments set, the Life Is Fun set, the Delicate Blossoms set, along with some pearls.  *SIGH*  So happy!!!  I'll be sharing the cards I've made throughout today!!!

Here's the first one~

Hero Arts: CAS/Sketch Challenge

CAS-ual Fridays: Banners & Flags

Less is More: 3, 2, 1

(I used 3 rhinestones, 2 words, and 1 color of paper.)

I have adored this gorgeous poppy image (and the other one in this set) for a l-o-n-g time!!!  I was SOOOOO excited to get it for my very own!!! :)  I started by stamping it on white cardstock and then water coloring it in.  I then dry embossed the panel, added some glitter, rhinestones, and a sentiment, and voila!  I love the way it turned out!

Thanks for stopping by and taking a peek at my card--I hope that you've been inspired to make something today that fits your creative needs and style!  Happy stamping!!! :)

It was my first day back to work full time.  WOW.  That's all I have to say...let's move on, shall we?  Well, I've two more cards to show ya!  They're both CAS and I had tons of fun making them!  I hope you like them, too! ;)

Hero Arts: August CAS Challenge + Sketches

CAS-ual Fridays: Square Cards

Paper & Such: Just Stamp On It

(stamp on patterned paper)

This one was fun to make!  I used some fun grid patterned paper that had a bit of an antique finish.  I decided to go semi-monochrome and go with autumn colors as I am hoping for cooler weather. ;)

Die Cuttin' Divas: Anything Goes w/ a die cut

(Like my little clouds to create a scene? My new favorite dies!)

Another little pup colored to look like my baby fur girl.  Scrunched up the image and then spritzed it with glimmer mist, sorta flattened it, and then heat dried it.  Layered it on and added all the extras!  I think it's darling!

Thanks for stopping by--sorry to be so short!  Happy stamping! :)

Globes & Doggies

Hi, friends!  It's coming down to the wire for us to leave, and so I am trying very hard to get all my cards posted!  You may hear a lot from me tonight...let's get started!  I'm doing 2 cards per post right now so I can show these things off! ;)

CAS-ual Fridays: Color Inspiration

Simon Says Stamp & Show: What do you say?

Sentimental Sundays: Ink/Paint

I had TONS of fun with this card!   As soon as I saw the colors at CASF, I KNEW I had to use my new globe stamp sent to my from my dear blogging friend, Katy, from a Jillybean Soup set.  The sentiment is from Stampin' Up!  I also knew I wanted to watercolor and use my homemade glimmer mist to add paint splatters.  A large layered pennant seemed appropriate and some dry embossed gears by Tim Holtz as a background and to add texture for the white on white, a bit of bling and there it is! ;)  And now onto another card!

Here it is~

The Stamping Boutique: Anything Goes

Paper Makeup Stamps: Endless Summer

This one was so fun to make--I colored the doggie to look like my sweet fur baby then added some glitter glue for some added interested.  Layered it onto fun summery paper and added a sentiment and some bling and there you go!

Thanks for taking some time out of your day to come and look at my cards--your kind words and encouragement mean the world to me!  Happy stamping, friends! :)

Who's ready...

...for a bunch of cards from Mynnette?!  That's right, kids!  I've been making cards but haven't had time to show them to you, so now you have to endure tons of pictures in posts and multiple posts from me tonight!!! ;)  Let's get right to it--this post will feature my CAS cards and then we'll do another post for non-CAS cards! :)  Let's start with some faux stitching, shall we?

Here's my first "stitched" card & details~

My second "stitched" card & details~

For these fabulous challenges~

Less is More: Sewing

Paper & Such: Stitching--real or faux

Paper Pretties: CAS

One Layer Wednesday: Lines

These cards were SO MUCH FUN to create!!!  I have a PTI set called "Faux Ribbon" that I usually just use the sentiments out of, but I knew immediately when I saw the stitching challenges that I'd have to use the stitched faux ribbon image in this set!  I had lots of fun randomly stamping my lines and then finding the perfect place for my sentiments and rhinestones.  I will definitely have to use this idea next time I need a super quick card!

Here's another CAS card~

For these challenges~

CASual Fridays: Back in Black

 

Papertake Weekly: Make Your Own

(I made my own designer paper...)

Stampin' Sisters in Christ: CAS card

When I saw that the challenge at CAS-ual Fridays, I immediately thought sympathy card.  But I didn't want it to be completely black, so to make my own designer paper, I started by dry embossing a piece of black cardstock with my Sizzix purse.  After it had gone through the machine, I sponged on  some silver ink and added some rhinestones.  Then I stamped a sentiment in the silver onto another small piece of black cardstock and punched it out, cut it down, and added it to my card.  Easy peasy, and I LOVE the way it turned out!

Thanks for taking a peek at my CAS cards--come back in a bit to see some non-CAS cards!  Happy stamping, friends! ;)
