9/6/19 - Class Card 1

Hi everyone - today I am sharing a card that we will be making in class on Sunday! If you are local to the Chicago area, check out my Meetup group and sign up for my classes there. The card is very quick and easy to make as I am not sure the level for the crafters so I am keeping it simple but still with some fun factors. I used the Daisy Punch to punch out the white petal and layer them together. The stem is Old Olive and the shimmer part is using Wink A Stealla (gold - retired) I left the sentiment blank so it can be use for any occasion!

8/29/19 - ICC & PPC - Birthday Wishes

Today's card is combining two challenges - Paper Craft Crew & Inspire.Create.Challenge. When I saw the sketch, right away I want to use one of the newer stamp set but haven't inked much - Butterfly Wishes. I wanted to use the branch as a horizontal piece and still keep the circle. I didn't want the white panel to look to plain so I added another butterfly on the top. Finished off with some silver pearls and a cute sentiment. The whole piece is layer on top of a basic black and it really pops up the whole image. Hope you like the card today.

8/26/19 - PP456 - We're the Best of Friends

Another week and another challenge! Today's card is using The Paper Players Challenge. I saw two DT members used the Bird Ballard DSP and decided to do the same as well. I saw a card before just cutting out the flock of birds from one of the sheet in DSP and I decided to do that as well. The rest of the layout is pretty easy to put together. I cut out of branches from Animal Expedition Framelits and then finished it off with the Very Vanilla Trim. I really like how this card turn out, pretty simple and elegant. I hope you have a great week.

8/23/19 - CAS(E) this Sketch - It's Your Birthday

Happy Friday - I went to lunch with my mom and Hunter and now chilling at home on a wonderful, sunny Friday afternoon. Today's card is using CASE this Sketch. When I saw the sketch, I knew I want to use my new stamp set and the happy birthday sentiment. The coloring is done with Stampin' Blends and I think I still need more practice on perfecting it. The card is quick and easy, I probably spend the most time cutting out the walrus. Hope you like this card today!

Hope everyone had a wonderful weekend! We spend some really awesome quality time together. On Saturday I took my mom/Hunter to Andersonville and visited the Vietnamese Town and had a blast. We also bought lots of yummy goodies home.
Today's card is using Mojo Monday's Sketch. I picked the Daisy Lane to use and paired it up with Bird Ballard DSP! I really love the soft colors of the DSP and the wonderful pattern. The card is quick and easy to make and straight forward to the sketch. Have a great week!
