Kiwi Lane Design Team Call

Hello, I found this company a couple of months ago and I love their product. They are Kiwi Lane Designs. They have such a fun idea for scrapbooking. That can be used on cards altered items. This is one of 5 items I made for the design team call. 

I also made this for the Outlawz challenge blog. This is for the Creative Freebie challenge. Sandi and Ann send you one of their pieces of artwork. Then you play with it and post to the challenge. You have two weeks to do your challenge. Their are some wonderfully talent people to play with on this site. Go visit and make some new friends.

This card used a template from Madison Ave that is for a 12x12 page layout but I was easily able to use it for a card. The sentiment I made on my computer. I felt it was fitting with the mailbox.

I hope you enjoyed your visit. I enjoyed having you here today. May God fill your day with many blessings. Thank you for stopping by.

Gratitude Outlawz Challenge

Today over at the Outlawz, our CAS challenge for this week is gratitude. This is the month of Thanksgiving. We need to remember to give thanks for what we have.

For this card I used a set from Stampin’ Up. It is a retired set but I still love it so it was used. I stamped the dots in the background then put post-it-notes around it to sponge the same color as the dots. The flower is stamped in Espresso Brown. This color is becoming one of my most used colors for these kinds of cards. It is a strong color but not as harsh can be.

I hope you head over to the outlawz and play along. You never know you might even win a prize. I have twice. This group of crafters are just wonderful.

Thank you for visiting today. You brighten my day with your visits. May you see God’s blessing shining on you.

Holiday Card Workshop Card.....Snowflakes

I just finished up a class online by Online Card Classes. I like this because I can take them when ever I have time and they never go away. I also like they way they teach.

For this card I used a CTMH stamp set (the snowflakes). Distress ink in Peacock, Glass and Weathered.  I put a mask across the bottom and stamped the snowflakes over the mask. Then I sponge the ink and removed the mask. Stamped the sentiment added bling on the snowflake. The sentiment is from Stampin’ Up.  

The nice thing about this card is that there is no layers. So no extra postage and it went really quick.

Thank you for stopping by today. It always makes my day to see you stopped by. May your Holidays be filled with Joy. 

Have you Laugh today?

I love the images from The Greeting Farm. This is Audrey from the digital stamps area. Then I colored her with my Spectrum Noir markers. I love how they blend.

The sentiment “Have you had your Laugh today?” is from TLC Creations. The colorful band is the new cobblestone die from Sizzix and Ranger. I didn’t realize it was going to cut all the pieces out. When you look at the die it looks embossed. The purple is from SU and embossed with the woodgrain also from Sizzix/Rangers. 

I’m happy you came to visit today. I hope she makes you smile like she does me. You make me smile with your sweet comments and visits. May your day be filled with many blessings. 

Thank you for stopping by.

QKD’s Tea Mouse.

Here she is..... Tea Mouse from Queen Kat Design, November's release by Che Gilson. She is serving you a warm cup of holiday cheer. 

I have wanted to try the telescoping technique. I had the perfect die to try it with. They are from Spellbinders. To make the layers I traced around the edges of the die and cut them by hand.  

Thank you for visiting today. It always make me feel so good when 

you stop by. Have a wonderful day.

Make-A-Wish Outlawz Challenge.

I was honor over at the Outlawz challenge site. They asked if I would be a guest designer on the CAS (Clean and Simple) team. I was so surprised that they asked. This weeks challenge is “Make-A-Wish”. You make a card based on something you would wish on.

My wishes always go through God. So I used a cross die from Our Daily Bread, to make the cross out of mulberry paper. The woodgrain and wish stamp are from Stampin’ Up. The wish is only half of the sentiment. 

I am so glad you stopped by and celebrated with me today. I hope your day is full of blessings. May all your wishes come true.

Christmas is Coming...

So I thought I would start giving you some card ideas. This is a super easy mass making card. I found some vellum with snowflakes on it in my stash, long retired but found a new life. The tree is embossed and then I taped it under the greeting, so you don’t see the tape.

 Then I punched two holes to put the brad through all layers but the base so it leaves the inside clean. The vellum is placed on a gold paper.

The sentiment is from Stampin’ Up. I stamped it in Versa-Mark and embossed it in black. Then I used Distress ink in old paper to go around the edges. That way it had an aged look.

I was making this as a sample for my husbands approval for his company Christmas cards. He liked the layout but just wants the Gold not the vellum. That is ok less work in the end. I will post the altered one of this card later when I finish it.

Thank you so much for visiting today. You bring such joy when you stop by and when you comment you make my heart happy. I ask God to bring you many blessing this holiday season.
