Grateful for You/Mojo437/ctd382

I worked on this card yesterday for several hours. Yes I know, buying a Hallmark card would have been easier and less frustrating, but you know how us card makers are. Why buy it when you can make it!

Unfortunately after all that time, I'm not all that impressed with my choice of  patterned papers. Although, the colors are in line with the Color Throwdown challenge and the layout with the MOJO Monday sketch.

I used 3 stamp sets on this card, framelits, an EF, and 3 punches.  I usually don't do that, but I really needed things to come together and I wasn't achieving it with fewer choices. Oh well, it gives some of my poor neglected "stash" some love.

I hope you have a wonderful weekend.  Go do something CRAFTY!

Crafty Hugs,
Bernie Bee

A Combined Challenge today

Today I actually was able to sit down and create a card.

I had a copy of this Mojo319 sketch on my desk and knew I wanted to try

 my hand at creating a card with it. I scooted over to the Word Art Wednesday

challenge, loved the verse and I started playing with paper and colors.

This is the card that I finally put together.

Harvest of Blessings

Today I am posting another card using Harvest of Thanks #131739.

I used the MOJO Monday 311 sketch, just flipping it.

I used the Sweater Weather DSP again and made a matching envelope from the Crushed Curry CS using the Envelope Punch Board.

The base of the card is Very Vanilla and I accented it with Soft Suede paper and stamped the image in Soft Suede ink. The corn was highlighted using Crushed Curry ink applied with a Blender Pen.

I cut out the sentiment with  a Apothecary Accents framlits that I used on yesterdays card. Just stamp, run through the Big Shot or other die cutting machine, and done! No fussy cutting. Love it!

I finished the card using the Square Envelop Lattice folder, Circle Punch, Ticket Punch (retired) , Adorning Accents edgelits, some cute little Candy Dots and Very Vanilla Ribbon Seam Binding. Finished...

Make it a great day and do something CRAFTY!

A Blue "Lobsta"?

Boy, did I have a hard time stamping this great Lobster image from By the Tide in blue! But it needed to be done. I wanted to use the 2 new beautiful 2013-2014 In Colors, Coastal Cabana and Baked Brown Sugar paper, and just thought the blue would give me a softer look.

This is for a young lady who just was hired for a teller position at a bank in Maine, and I wanted to keep the colors on the feminine side. I hope she likes it.
