Stampin Up Only Challenge, Embossing

Well here I am again. how great is that. I am playing almost everyday with my stamps for at least 30 minutes or so.  I am just looking at my stamps and picking one.  Here is one I used called Apothecary Art, and then I water colored the flowers with a blending pen. tThe sentiment in the middle came from  Messages for Mom, another old stamp set.  I then used an embossing folder from Stampin Up, unsure of name, ran it through the big shot and then ran my white ink pad over the top.  You  just got to love it.  Thought this card would be great to send out for some encouragement right now.  

I am using this card for the Stampin Up Only challenge.  Hope you enjoy!

Hope you have a wonderful and blessed day!

Mother's Day Card #2

Wow, I have posted everyday this week and yes, I have another Mother's Day card for you today that I also did for the gentleman in our church.  This is the second one.

 

I actually printed the sentiment from My Digital Studio so I could make it bigger and almost made it too big, but I did like it.  The inside was also printed from My Digital Studio which for some reason I did not take a photo of it.  Thanks to Clean and Simple for their sketch this week which made this a quick and easy card.  Gotta love it!!!!

 

 

So what do you think?  I really enjoyed putting this one together and loved the ribbon as the border.

 

Thanks for stopping by again and hope your day is blessed.



Different Cut Mother's Day Card

I was asked to make two Mother's Day cards for a gentlemen in our church and today I am going to share one of those cards with you.  Actually last Thursday night we did this type card in our stamping class and I loved it.  So I decided to make this card in the same way.  So here it is.

 

 

Here it is partially open so you can kind of see how it is cut.

 

 

If you cut a piece of card stock in half on the 8 1/2" side, which would be 4 1/4 X 11, then take the 4 1/4 X 11 and place on the 9 3/4" mark and cut, you will have the size of this.  You will still score it at the 5 1/2 inch mark, but the one side will be shorter.  Then you can add the top portion of the card and to be honest I am not home and cannot remember the size I cut that piece.  I think it was 3 3/4 X 3 and the white piece would be 3 1/2 X 2 3/4.  I will check when I get home and correct this as needed.  Sorry about that.  But in reality you can decorate as you see fit.

 

So here is the inside.

 

 

I really think he was happy with this card. I had to make two, one for mom and one for the girlfriend.  Not sure which he will give to who, but I tried to make them so he could choose and they would work for both.

 

Thanks for stopping by today and hope your Wednesday is blessed.



LNS Challenge 247/Sketch 311- Monday Lunchtime Sketch

Happy Monday!  I can't believe it has been almost two weeks since I posted.  Went to my daughter's last weekend and was unable to get one completed before I left.  But I am excited about being back and completing the one for this week for both challenges.

 

This week the challenge for LNS is Mother's Day, so I really liked this weeks Monday Lunchtime sketch.  It just fit what I wanted for a mother's day card!

 

 

Here is a close up of the front!
