You're in My thoughts Today

I'm here posting a second card for MOJO Monday today.  This was using some of my last strips of paper by SU, Frosted Floral SP. I believe after looking today that I do have one more 6x6 pieces left. It's better then thinking I haven't more!

I paired this piece with Gray Granite and Blackberry Bliss. I then embossed the gray layer with SU's  Subtle Dynamic Embossing folder. After I had finished gluing down the pieces, I was disappointed that I did not emboss the Blackberry Bliss piece.Oh well, it is what it is. The sentiment is from an old Papertey Ink set that I embossed with WOW silver embossing powder. I used my MISTI and GinaK's Wreath Builder template and one of the stamps from the original Wreath Builder set. I then cut it with SU's Stitched Shapes Framelits.

That's it for tonight. Have a wonderful evening and go do something you LOVE!

Warmest Birthday Wishes

Good afternoon everyone. I finished a couple of cards last night and I'll be posting the one below and linking it to Seize the Birthday.  

I'm down to one 6x6 sheet of this Frosted Floral SP by SU. Sad but true. I order the 6x6 sample paper stacks when Linda Heller offers the new papers. I didn't realize how much I would enjoy using it. Oh well, there will certainly be more paper I will like in the upcoming catalogs. ;}

I used Tranquil Tide for the middle strip that I embossed with a Dots folder and Soft Suede for the middle layer. Neenah #80 lb. was used for the base and sentiment oval. The sentiment is from a retired SU stamp set "Blooming with Kindness". I found some old Copper Pearls in my stash and thought they would finish the oval off nicely. That's about it.

I hope you have a wonderful weekend and are able to do something you LOVE!

Blessings, BernieB

MOJO Sketch/Isaiah 61:3

MojoSketch511

I just finished up this card this afternoon to post here and to link over at MOJO Monday  I made this for a friend who just lost her husband last week. I did send her a sympathy card, but thought this verse would be comforting to her as it was to me when I lost my 1st. almost 39 years ago.

I used Verve stamp Scripture Medley 1, SU Layered Leaves dynamic for the first layer, SU Frosted Florals,SU Blackberry Bliss paper and ink,and SU Stitched Shapes Framelits Dies, and older scallop and round die, and Neenah #80 pound paper.

Make it a wonderful day and go do something you LOVE!

Hello Friend

Just stopping by today with a quick note card that I'm using to send to some friends of mine. I have really been working at trying to send a card a month to my long distance friends to let them know I'm thinking of them. Some months they are little more stepped up, but I keep this one fairly simple.

I used my MISTI to line up the two trees and sentiment and inked them with SU Soft Suede. This made a very quick process. Love my MISTI!

Note Card - cut at 7x5, scored at 3 1/2"

I broke out an old SU set, Totally Trees and paired it with a GinaK sentiment from , Inspiring Poppies.  SU Lucky Limeade paper, Lucky Limeade and Pear Pizzazz ink finished up the trees.

Well, I'm off to finish the other 5 of these note cards. I hope you have a great day and are able to do something you LOVE!


Blessings,

Happy Second Birthday

Good afternoon all! Just dropping by today to post a card I just made for one of my grandsons who is turning 2 on St. Patrick's Day. The lime green paper nods to that.

I created this card and linking it to the new Seize the Birthday Challenge, although I do not have stripes incorporated in the design for the Toppings challenge, I have incorporated the dots. I realized this morning that I had not linked this card. Oops!

The animals, and the sentiment are from MFT's Safari Party stamp set with matching die-namics, the stitched rectangle is from a MFT set, the #2 from the Days and Dates Cartridge by Cricut cut on my Explore Air, the paper is SU. I also used my white Signo pen to add dots to the #2. The animals were colored with my Prismacolored pencils and blended with Gamsol.

I hope you have a wondeful and blessed day, AND as always, go do something you LOVE!

Another Birthday Card

I'm back again today to post another Birthday card.  This one is for one of my daughters whose birthday is Tuesday. I had already created a card, but wanted something a little different . So I pulled out my MFT Stitched Flower dies, got some inspiration from a card on Pinterest created by Lisa Addesa, and went to work.

I haven't played much with these dies, although I love them. They are a little intimidating to me. The shapes, the sizes and having to chose colors, Oh my! But I'm going to leave them on my craft desk and work with them more.

All the product on this card is from MFT, Stitched Flowers and sentiment, except the leaves. They are from an older Sizzix leaf die. 

That's it for today. I will be linking this over Seize the Birthday #159

We do have rain again today, but I'm glad I can get some neede card creating done. I hope you have a great weekend. And go do something you LOVE!

Happy Birthday

Just popping in this morning with a Birthday card that I will be linking over at Seize the Birthday#159 and Freshly Made Sketches#376.

I love the simplicity of the FMS sketch and always need Birthday cards so needed to make a much needed birthday card.  

My card base is Neenah Solar White 110lb. and the Pink CS is some card stock that I had in my stash. I cut the Pink CS with one of the Stitched Rectangles by MFT. The Black and White paper is from SU and so are the little pearls. I stamped and die cut the Floral image from GinaK's Bundled Stamps and Dies-Stippled Flowers. The flower was stamped with Tim Holtz Distress Ink, Picked Raspberry, the leaves with Tim Holtz Distress Ink, Mowed Lawn. I then took a water brush and feathered the ink to fill in the white spaces. My sentiment is from a old Happy Birthday stamp set that I stamped in Versamark and heat embossed with GinaK fine detail Embossing Powder. And that's it. Clean and simple!

Have a wonderful Friday and a great weekend. I think I'll be doing more crafting since we have had rain,rain,rain, and more expected here in North Carolina. I good excuse to be housebound CRAFTING! 

And I hope you get to do something you LOVE!

Blessings, Bernadette
