Mojo Monday Sketch- Thank You

Hello Blog Friends and good morning! Yesterday was a very busy day for me and I was not able to get my card posted so I'm posting it today. My card today was inspired by the Mojo Monday Sketch #247, either to make a square or round card.
I decided to make a round card using my cricut expression machine and my Elegant Edges cartridge. This card has many layers, all my cardstock used was by Bazzill and Paper Trey Ink.


The patterned papers are from the Almanac Collection by Prima. The squares are popped up on foam tape. My sentiment is a stamp from Lawn Fawn and I cut it out and framed it using my EK success
labels punch. I added a bow using some lawn trimmings cord and popped the sentiment up on foam tape as well.

I finished off my card adding some buttercup liquid pearls and some cute little roses by American Crafts. Well that is my card for today, thank you for stopping by!!

Sunny Skies~

Hello Friends! Hope all is well in your part of the world today! I was looking outside my living room window and saw how bright and sunny it was and it made me think of the new Lawn Fawn stamp set Sunny Skies. I just adore Lawn Fawn stamps and this set has to be my favorite! I just love the beautiful smileys that come along with this cheery and bright set. For my card today, I used Mojo Monday's Sketch 246 .


Here is my card:


Basically almost everything I used is Lawn Fawn! The white and black cardstock is from Bazzill. I paper pieced the sun and kites using papers from Lawn Fawn's Bright side petite 6x6 paper pad. I stamped the clouds using my momento summer sky ink and colored the kite tails using my copics Y08 and G14.

 

The kites, sun and the panel they are on, are all mounted on with foam adhesive for some added dimension. I tied cute bows using Lawn Fawn's Lawn trimmings cord and decided to put them in the squares for a cute look to compliment the smile on the sun's face! I even finished off the inside of the card using one of the sentiments in this stamp set that says, "You are my sunshine" and used some of the chevron patterned paper from the petite bright side paper pad.


Well thats it for my card today! I am entering this in the Mojo Monday challenge this week. Just a reminder that tomorrow the design team and I, over at Just A Scrappin' will be showcasing some fabulous projects to inspire you so be sure to stop by the blog and stop back here! You won't want to miss all the fun!

Happy Easter!

Hiya blog friends! Happy Hump Day! Can you believe how fast this week has flown by? It is so beautiful today, sunny and mid 80's but yesterday was a very scary day with all the tornados. On one hand I feel happiness that my home was untouched but then again, I feel sadness for all the homes that were destroyed. So to take my mind off the scary storms, I decided to get creative and make another Easter card. I used the Mojo Monday sketch #235 to build my card.



I had so much fun making this card, here is my take on the sketch.
My main focal stamp is a digital stamp by Pc Crafter. These little Easter pals are just so adorable! I put on a happy face while coloring these little guys in. I colored them in using my copic markers. I used Bazzill cardstock and the patterned papers are from the Sweet Summer collection by Colorbok. I made the sentiment by using two different stamps, the word "Happy" is from PTI's Handwritten Notes stamp set and the word "Easter" is from a dollar stamp at Michael's. I stamped the sentiment in Momento Rich Cocoa. I used the Martha Stewart Starburst border punch on the pretty yellow gingham paper and on the bottom of my card front.

I used some dew drops on the bottom of my card front along the punched border and in the center of the flower, some Buttercream twine, and a pretty pink stitched strip of Washi Tape that I purchased at Cute Tape to add more embellishing. I used antinque linen distress ink around my stamped image and I used some glossy accents on my flower that I cut out of one of the patterned papers. To finish it off, I used some faux stitching by piercing holes with my paper piercer and making my stitches with a white sakura pen. My favorite tool used with this card for the Simon Says challenge is starburst border punch. Well that is my card for today, thank you for stopping by!
