I Owe You One


Tonight I'm posting another card, but this one will be added to two challenges.  This site, coffee loving cardmakers blog I just ran across this week. What a fun Blog. I will also be linking this over at Mojo Monday Sketch Challenge 537. A great sketch to turn into a coffee themed card.



I used all MFT products except the Stitched Circle which is by SU. The MFT products were Stitched Rectangles, Cup of Love Stamp, Mini Cafe' All Day Die-namics, and Distressed Patterns.

I'm going to link these cards and then off to bed for me. I apologize for the color of the photo. It was taken at night with not the best lighting available.

Have a great Friday. Stay Safe and Stay Well...

Tonight I'm here posting a card that will be linking to the Paper Players sketch challenge #492. I'm just getting it in under just the wire, but the week has been busy. I got started doing blinds, woodwork, and reorganizing. Making cards is so, so much more fun!




We just had a neighbor buy a home out of state and I decided to use this as a New Home card. She's quite a gardener and I felt the flowers were appropriate. I started with an A2 card base of Neenah Solar White 110#, added an inner panel of the same paper,  and embossed it with Dotted EF. The flowers are from Altenews Spophisicated Wreath stamp set with coordinating dies and I used Altenews color cubes to layer the flowers. The MFT's Stitched Rectangle Frames die-namics was used to create a frame for the flowers and I used one MFT Essential Sentiments. 

That is it for this evening. I hope you have a wonderful Friday and upcoming weekend. 
Stay Safe and Stay Well!

Blessings

Congratulations


Tonight I'm posting a card that I made for my daughter and husband who just purchased a new home. My inspiration came from a gal that is on the MFT Design Team. What drew me to the card was the Black and White Birdhouse.  Their new home is the same color combination!



The products I choose were the MFT Birds of a Feather Card Kit, MFT Essential Sentiments, MFT Stitched Sentiment Strips. I used the paper from the kit for the bird, flowers, and birdhouse. I embossed the front of the birdhouse with a SU Wood Texture EF, which I believe is retired. The base of the card Neenah 110# and the Black and White paper is by SU Botanical Butterfly DSP.

I'll be posting this over at Splitcoast Stampers tonight. I have been negligent to visit that site and I'm determined to do it much more frequently. So many great challenges and techniques.

Have a wonderful evening and I hope you ENJOY Memorial Day tomorrow. Stay well and stay safe!

Blessings,
