Sketch Challenge 119

Hey All!   There's a new sketch challenge up on the Stars and Stamps blog!! Make sure to go play along!
I made the sample for this weeks sketch challenge 119 and thought I'd share what I did.

Thanks

I love layers!  I think they just really help to make everything pop!  I used my Cuttle Bug to make the stars embossed background.  I used thin dimensionals to pop the camouflage layer and used hemp twine to separate the two pieces.  I popped the circle layer and then added some liquid pearls to match the scallop border on the camouflage layer.  The star is just a Sizzix die that I popped and added the sentiment straight to.  The sentiment is by Verve and came free with one of my recent orders.

Thanks for stopping by!

S&S Sketch Challenge #116

Oh my! I haven't blogged on here since February!  I do apologize to my followers.  Sometimes I just find myself in a deep rut.  No mojo.  No desire to make cards or even sew.  I'm back though.  I made 5 cards in 1 day.  5.  Me.  I'm quite proud and happy to finally have something to share with all of you.

thinking of you

I used this weeks S&S Sketch Challenge 116.  The papers are from a DCWV stack that has been in my stash for way too long.  The image is Daffodil Charlotte by Sparkle Creations Rubber Stamps.  I used my Copics to color her and then added a ton of stitching before assembling all the layers.  The sentiment was hard to place so I cut it up like Pam did on her card and it worked!

Seeing Green!

Hey All!

The Crafty Contagion is holding another challenge and today's is the color green!  Make sure to stop by and play along with the rest of the Divas!

I Love You

I'm still using my Hero Arts Year Round Sentiments for a lot of my cards lately.  I stamped three hearts and then fussy cut them and popped them with dimensionals.  I then added some bakers twine followed by stamping the sentiment.  I'm loving the CAS phase that I'm stuck in these days!

OWH VCMP Fun!

Hey All!!  I'm catching up on life after CHA and DisneyLand and managed to sneak a card in to share with you!  While Sandy's out at sea, the OWH team is holding a Virtual Card Making Party!  How fun!!

I Miss You

I used a regular heart punch to get the heart effect.  Time consuming but worth it!  It also gave my 4yr old something to punch!  The sentiment used on my card is from the Hero Arts Year Round Sentiments set.  

Maile Belles

I was inspired by this card by Maile Belles.  Her card is totally adorable and sweet!

I'm submitting my card for the following VCMP challenges:
VCMP #6 Sand and Sea  Blue heart and twine and Kraft card stock as my tan!
VCMP #7 CAS  Though punching and adhering all those hearts may not really be simple!!

Thanks for stopping by!!

S&S Sketch Challenge #104

Hey All!  I am on a total patriotic Thank You kick it seems.  I'm not complaining though! I'm truly grateful for the sacrifices our Heroes make!  The following card is for the OWH S&S Sketch Challenge #104.

Thank You

I've been doing a lot of sewing lately so it felt really great to get my hands back on paper!  I used the Hero Arts Year Round Sentiments set for the stars and sentiment and some divine twine.

THANKS for stopping by!

S&S Sketch Challenge #102

Hey All!  I hope you all had a fabulous Christmas and New Year! Sketch 102 is up on the S&S blog so make sure you go play along!

We Salute You

I really like this sketch.  It's super simple and you could switch it up with twine or ribbon rather than those paper strips.  I used an Amuse stamp set given to me by a friend that I believe is called Hero Mail.  This card is off to my AnyHero pile.

Thanks for stopping by! Have a fabulous week!

S&S Midweek Throwdown

Hey All!  There's a new Midweek Throwdown Challenge up on the S&S Blog and the theme this week is Thank You cards!   Dixie, one of our awesome OWH shippers, has passed on her shipping duties after 2 years and OWH wants to share our gratitude with her.  So get into your craft zones and make some Thank You cards to send to our Nations Heroes!!

Thank You for your Service

I absolutely love my new stamps from La-La Land Crafts!  This one is Saluting Marci.  Isn't she just adorable!  I also have Saluting Luka but have yet to color him.  Part of the proceeds from both Marci and Luka will go to OWH.  The papers are from a K&Company Americana Specialty Pack and the sentiment is from Saluting Marci.  I hand cut out Marci and then popped her with some dimensional tape.  A little distressing to the flag layer and a few brads completed this card.

Thanks for checking out my card and make sure you go play along!!
