Happy Saturday!   It is time for another Crazy 4 Challenge with the Crazies!   Check out the C4C blog for more challenge details with the crazies at Crazy 4 Challenges(C4C186).  

This week we have a Sketch! 


 

 

For my card I am using Verve's No Matter What and Wonderfully Made stamp sets. I  also used Verve's Cut Above Scalloped Trio Trim die.

For my card I blended some fun pattern papers from my paper collection.  I stitched some of the edges and added  some glitter coloring on the focal image.  I finished with a bow using Verve's Polka Dot Basics Ribbon Collection in Licorice Cream.

You Make Me Smile! Crazy 4 Challenges C4C185!

 

Happy Saturday!   It is time for another Crazy 4 Challenge with the Crazies!   Check out the C4C blog for more challenge details with the crazies at Crazy 4 Challenges(C4C185).  

This week we have an Inspiration Photo!  

 

For my card I am using Verve's Surely Goodness and Smile Plain Jane  stamp sets.  I also used Verve's Cut Above Banner Bundle, Rounded Scallop, and Goodness Flowers dies along with the newly released Occasion Frame die.  

For my card I focused on shapes, colors, and textures.  I thought the background pattern I chose focused on the starfish shape in inspiration picture.  I chose to emphasize some orange pattern papers in different hues and patterns.  I continued with added textures from the soft felt stitched starfish from picture to the contrasting rocks underneath with distressed edges, stitching, rounded corners, sharp corners, and dimension.   I masked the Smile Plain Jane stamp.  I stamped the Make Me Smile portion in Morocco Memento ink.  I then masked the banner portion and inked with Ocean Tide ink.  I cut this banner out by hand and layered over one of the Banner Bundle dies.  I then stamped the coordinating flower from Surely Goodness in a

soft golden yellow ink.  I then used the largest flower with leaves and stamped directly to the coordinating die cut image from pattern paper.  I added a some coloring touches to the leaves with Spectrum Noir markers.   For the bow I used Verve's Signature Ribbon Collection in Cream.
I am using this week's Mojo292 Sketch.

Welcome to Our Daily Bread Design's Alumni feature of For the Love of Patriotism and Service!!  This month the Alumni team will be sharing creations made with sets that focus on Patriotism and Service!  While we are including the cards and sets used by the designers for their creations, I know the designers would appreciate if you would click on the links below to leave them a little love as well.

For my card I am using Our Daily Bread Designs, I Pledge Allegiance stamp set.  I decided to keep it real and simple, but very poignant in black and ivory.

Happy Sunday!  I have a Birthday Cheer card to share today.  I  played around with some fun bold pattern papers from my stash.  I am using Verve's Borderline and Big Wish stamp sets.  I combined these stamps with Verve's Curvy Bookplate die and matching Mini Bookplate dies.
 I stamped the frame and sentiment in a Memento nautical blue.  I popped up each frame layer for added dimension.  I added a few die cut stars from Verve's Cut Above Starry die in coordinating pattern paper.  A quick and easy Birthday card perfect for a guy!

As always thanks so much for stopping by!  Jessica is next on the hop!

Loving Kindness! C4C and More!

 

 

Happy Saturday!   It is time for another Crazy 4 Challenge with the Crazies!   Check out the C4C blog for more challenge details with the crazies at Crazy 4 Challenges(C4C181).  

This week is all about WOOD!  

Use either real wood, stamped wood, wood elements or decorative paper

For my card I am using Verve's Psalm 63:3 Plain Jane and  Blessing stamp set.  I also used Verve's Cut Above Banner Bundle and Rounded Rectangle dies.   I combined some designer papers, stitching, and ink distressing.  I like the contrast of the silver doily to the vintage ink distressed papers.  However, I thought that the images of clocks, keys, and silverware as well as scrollwork all lend themselves to a metal so the silver doily accent works.  For my wood element I used a half of a popsicle stamped with the flourished image from Verve's Blessings. Topped the card with a bow and a few silver pearls. For the bow I used Verve's Signature Ribbon Collection in Cream.
