Busy around here

Wow, I can't believe I haven't posted in 4 days! We have been pretty busy around here getting ready for school to start up again :( Here are some things that I have created in the last couple of days. I hope you enjoy them. This card I made for the SCS challenge SC239, a sketch challenge. If you have not been to Splitcoaststampers before, you have to check it out. There is a link in my sidebar. I made this card using the scraps I had from the bridal party cards I made for my sister. The image was colored with Sharpies. The image is called Blossoms and it's a Snag'em clear stamp from imaginisce.


I made this little bag of goodies for a friend. Our boys had swimming lessons together and the last week we didn't get to go because Tanner injured his ear and had to stay out of the water. She kept updating his swim teacher and then grabbed his certificate on the last day of lessons for us. I thought this would be a fun way to show her my appreciation! This little bag is made from an envelope. I stamped the candy all over it and colored them in with sharpies. To prevent bleeding I cut down a 4x6 index card so it would fit into the envelope, then colored in the images. I used my Cutterpede scallop blade for the top design. Make sure you score your envelope before stamping it :) I forgot to do that step first on this one and that's why the many thanks is so close to the bottom and right edge of the bag. This bag is holding 6 of the covered Hershey's nuggets. I stamped the images on address labels and then wrapped them around it. The images are from Studio G clear stamps that I got in Michael's Crafts dollar bins awhile back. The card is 2x2 and I attached it to the bag using an office clip so that it would work for Thursdays challenge at SCS WT229. Then I tied a piece of red ribbon around one side of the metal piece.

Wedding Party cards

I just finished making three cards for my sister. She needed a bachelorette card, a bridal shower card and a wedding card all for one of her friends. She told me that the colors were brown and that she was having wildflowers. I picked up the printed paper from American Crafts at Michaels along with the passionate (pink) paper by Bazzill. I love two sided papers for cards like this so you don't have to try and match up colors. I also used white card stock. The first card is for her bachelorette party. The Martini stamp is from Vap! scrap.



The next card is for the shower. The stack
of presents is by katie & co. Both images
were stamped with Stazon Timber brown.

The last card is for the wedding. The

three-tiered cake is also from katie & co. The ribbon is Martha Stewart- dove white craft seam binding.

Cards

Here are some cards that I have been working on. This birthday card is for one of my moms relatives that is turning 90! The paper is from basicgrey. Button is from Bag 'O Buttons by the Paper Studio (picked it up at the local HL- Hobby Lobby). Rustic Jute Button Twine is from Papertrey Ink. Birthday wishes stamp- Kolette Hall ($1.00 bin stamp). No source for the cram and orange card stock...probably came from HL though :)

I found out a few weeks ago that my boss is engaged and getting married soon, so here is a card for her. I couldn't resist these fun summertime colors. I got the top note set at Michaels crafts. They are supposed to be table cards for weddings but I saw them and knew they would look great on cards ;). I am continuing to try and use up scraps in my scrap box so I don't know where the striped paper came from. It's covering white cs. The leaves are clear stamps from We R Memory Makers- team. I picked those up at the local scrapbook store. The sentiment is has no info. on it...picked it up at a local stamp store years ago. Ribbon is Offray (grabbed it from Michaels Crafts).

Here's a card I made for my Grandma who had surgery last week. I was so excited to get to play with my new On My Couch set from Papertrey Ink!!

I covered the top part of the brown cs with a two Post-it notes. Then I stamped the the design using a stamp from Martha Stewart's clear pattern stamps. I used ColorBox chalk chestnut roan. The image is Stampabilities cattails and dragonflies. I stamped that in the chestnut roan and then colored it using Sharpies. I tied it with rustic jute twine from Papertrey ink and tied a rustic wood vintage button on it...also from Papertrey ink.

Here is another sympathy card I made. I used white cs and paper from my scrap box. The image is Mother Fern from Hero Arts. I stamped it in Olive Pastel and lime green pastel from ColorBox chalks. Rustic jute button twine and wood vintage button from PTI (papertrey ink).
