Sympathy

I hope everyone had a wonderful Easter.  Mine was very quiet.  But the weather cooperated so it was a good day.

This week we are making sympathy cards at the Sweet Stamps Challenge Blog. 

 

I used For God So Loved Vertical 9052.  Stamped it on craft.  The DP is from the Frond paper pack by Memorybox.  I stitched around the border and added punched flowers to give depth and finish the card.

Come on over to our blog and give the challenge a try.  You have a chance to win $20 to use in the Sweet Stamp Store.  Make sure to check out all the design team member blogs for some awesome inspiration.

Have a great week! :)

Frame It

This weeks theme is "Frame It" at the Sweet Stamps blog.  The Sweet Stamps Store has so many beautiful frame stamps it was hard to choose which to use.   I decided to make an Easter card. 

Although, from the sights that we Michiganders woke up to yesterday you'd be hard pressed to think it is half way through the month of April.  You guessed it SNOW!  All my pretty tulips, daffodils, and hyacinths that were just beginning to sprout were totally covered with snow.  Thank goodness it all melted by the evening.

On to my card...

 

I used Swirly Parchment Frame 472 and Large Cross 848.  Colored it up with copics and used Bazzill Basic cardstock as the base.

Sunflower Quilt

Happy Tuesday All!!  Wow can you believe April is almost half over?  I have to admit that I love Spring and watching all the flowers bloom.  So I don't mind that the cold weather is almost behind us.  This is that funny time of year here in Michigan when the weather doesn't know what it wants to do.  One day it's 70 degrees F the next might be 35!  It's on these colder days that you just want to snuggle up under a warm quilt.  And that was my inspiration for this weeks challenge over at Sweet Stamps.

Our challenge this week is "For The Ladies".  We want to see some girly projects.  Easy one right?  So come on over and join us! 

 

 

I used 2 stamps to create this quilt card Sunflower Blocked Stitched 124 and Patch Square Small 107 .  The Patch Square was stamped onto various design papers and then cut out placed on end then onto another design paper and finally stitched in place on Bazzill cardstock to create the block foundation of the quilt card.  The Sunflower stamp was colored with copic markers, cut out and placed in center over the blocks.  Finally, I added small buttons on the center of the blocks to finish off the card.

I had a lot of fun making this card and with these stamps the possibilities are endless.  A flowery quilt is just my idea of a girly project.  What's yours??

Come on over the the Sweet Stamps Blog and check out the rules and join us this week!!  I can't wait to see what you come up with!

Sweet Stamps Recipe Challenge

Welcome to this weeks recipe challenge at Sweet Stamps!  The recipe is 1 ribbon or border, 2 design papers, and 3 gems or brads.  I decided this week I wanted something bright and fun!  I needed a pick me up.  I took one look at this adorable whimsical duck and just couldn't resist!  I needed a baby card and so a congratulations card was in order.

  

The stamps I used were Stuffed Duck 238 and Congratulations Swirly 913.  Colored up with copics this little guy just wants to fly off the card!
