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(C4C190).  

This week is all about our monthly sketch challenge ! 

 

For my card I am using Verve's  Words of Wisdom, Serenity, and So Fluttery stamp sets.  I am also using Verve's Cut Above Flutterby  and Scalloped Trim Trio die sets.

For my card I am using some Fancy Pants designer papers.  For my focal point I stamped one of the sentiments from Words of Wisdom and I used one of the sprigs from Serenity stamp set and stamp it in different colors behind the sentiment.  I added my Flutterby butterfly and finished it all off with a Verve Truly Madly Deeply Ribbon Collection bow.

Birthday Blessings and a MOJO!

 

Happy Friday!  I have been out of school for 1 week today!  Yay!  Of course, that just means summer cleaning time.  I have spent quite a bit of time in my crafty space doing to cleaning and rearranging.   Once the spaced look okay, I just had to mess it up and get inky.  I have a card to share today using Verve stamps and this week Mojo Monday Sketch.  I need a fun teen girl birthday card for someone special.  Cannot say as she may see this post on Facebook.

For my card I am using some Echo Park papers.  I combined Verve's newly released On Occasion stamp set with Bountiful Backgrounds and  Purely Sentimental sets.  I am also using Verve's Cut Above Occasion Frame, Wavy Hearts, and Scalloped Trim Trio die sets.

I did a lot of edge distressing, sewing, and white embossing, along with some inked up edges and layering to create this fun Birthday card.   I finished with a bow using Verve's Spring Fling Ribbon Collection in Sunshine.  I did use some Ranger Antique Linen to ink distress the ribbon a bit.  Love that effect. 

As always thanks so much for stopping by!

ODBD For the Love of Vintage!

Welcome to Our Daily Bread Design's Alumni feature of For the Love of Vintage.  This month the Alumni team will be sharing creations made with sets that focus on Vintage sets  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, Vintage Border Background, Antique Label Designs, and Flourished Verses stamp sets.  I decided to keep it simple.  I could have focused more on a more vintage look with these vintage stamps, but I thought using vintage stamps for a less vintage look is possible with these stamps as well.    

I am using the sketch from this week's JUGS Sketch Challenge #191.

I have a Graduation card to share today.  I think every neighbor, niece, and family friend's child graduated this year.     I am using Verve's Love Notes, Starstruck, Words of Wisdom, With Love, and Happy Graduation plain jane stamp sets.  I combined these stamps with Verve's Scalloped Trim Trio, Jotted Heart, and Starry dies.


I created a monochromatic card to use for a guys graduation.  I distressed the edges and added some corrugated cardboard for texture and to man it up a bit more since I did use polka dots and hounds tooth prints. I am using this week's MojoMonday sketch.

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.

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!
