Mother's Day Box Card

Happy Tuesday everyone.  This is a new one for me as I have not had much time to stamp much less share and this week, I have quite a few to share with you.  I will start today by sharing my mother's day card (box card).  I can't wait for her to open the envelope and see this.  I just love it.

 

 

Here is a side view of it!

 

 

And then a close up of it so you can see the glitter on the butterflies.  I embossed the flowers with white embossing powder and the punched them out.

 

 

The designer paper I used is a retired paper from stampin up and as I was going through my papers, I found it and knew I would use it to make this box card.

 

You can find the tutorial here and my first box card here!

 

Hope you like it and hope you have a wonderful Thursday!

 

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!

 

 

A side view to show the dimension.

 

 

And of course the inside!

Clean & Simple Banner

 

Happy Tuesday to you!  I had a few moments last night and saw the sketch from Clean & Simple  Sketch and just had to use my banners framelits and the Perfect Pennant stamp set.  It was perfect for this set.  Also, I have a friend that is going through some tough times and thought this was the perfect sentiment for the card.  I also used a scripture on the inside from Our Daily Bread Designs.  It just seemed to add the final touch to the card.

 

Here is the inside.

 

 

When all else seems to be going wrong, I can always depend on God and how he will bring rest to my soul.  He has been my fortress through all these last two months with my brother and mother.  When my sister's and I thought we could not do any more, God showed us just how strong we were with him.  I am so thankful to be able to lean on Him.

 

All items are Stampin' Up! unless otherwise noted.

LNS Challenge 231 / Sketch 279 - Monday Lunchtime Sketch

Well it is Monday Morning and I am here to share my samples with for our Late Night Stampers challenge - Teacher Gift, and our Monday Lunchtime Sketch from Mary Jo.  Again Mary Jo has a wonderful sketch for us and please go over and see her sample along with the rest of the DT and please join in.  And, how did I combine the challenges?  I actually used her sketch to make a pack of cards for the Teacher Gift.  So here are the cards! 

 

I actually started off making this card which was a 4 layer card and when I was finished, I thought this is just too busy for me.  You will have to tell me what you think and I may make another to match the others for the gift.  Just let me know what you think in the comments and it will help me to make my decision.  Maybe I am becoming a more of a clean and simple stamper.

 

 

Now here are the rest of the cards starting with the one that will be in the front of the pack.

 

 

 

And with this one, it shows the envelope that I made to go along with each card!

 

 

And on the inside of each, I did a sentiment, but not the same.  This is just to give you an idea of what it looks like.

 

 

And of course here is the pack of cards for my Teacher's gift!

 

 

I may put a ribbon around it or something to give it a little more of the gift look, but it really does not need it.  What do you think about that.  Love these easy cards.

 

All items used are Stampin' Up!

Stamp Sets: Papillon Potpourri, Curvy Verses, Word Play

Card Stock: Gumball Green, Whisper White, Midnight Muse, Primrose Petals

Ink: Midnight Muse, Gumball Green, Primrose Petals

Monday Lunchtime Sketch Challenge 275--TSSC275

Good Monday Morning and welcome to this weeks Monday Lunchtime Sketch Challenge.  Mary Jo has certainly given us a Clean and Simple sketch this week and I am loving it.  And, as soon as I saw it, I decided to use the Venetian Romance Designer Series Paper and make either a Wedding Card or a Anniversary Card.  While I was looking for the sentiment to go with it, I realized I really did not have anything current for a Wedding, so I went back to an original stamp set that I just love, Whimsical Words.  I just love the way it looks on a card and really adds to the overall card.  So now on to the card!

 

 

Here is a side view of the card!

 

 

And yes the inside of the card!

 

 

I wanted to add this scripture as it seems so appropriate for someone getting married.

LNS Challenge 228 - Fancy Fold

Good Morning all and welcome to this weeks Late Night Stampers Challenge.  If you are looking for the Monday Lunch Time Sketch Challenge please see the post prior to this one here.  This week we will be doing fancy fold cards, so you really want to come on over and see all the great cards we have for you to look at, plus we would love for you to join us so we can see what you create. 

I have created a Z fold card, but I folded mine a little different as I wanted to use my new stamp set called Backyard Basics along with the fabulous framelits that go with it.  First let's look at my card!  I have four views for you to see the whole card.  When closed it is 5 1/2 X 4 1/4.

Here is how I made it:

Cut Card Stock to 5 1/2 X 9 1/4.  Score the 9 1/4 side at 4 1/4 and 7 1/4.  Fold them opposite of each other as you see in the second photo.  Then decorate as you see fit.  That is all there is to it.  So simple and love the way the flower looks popped up on this card.

All items used are Stampin' Up!

Stamp Sets: Backyard Basics (flower), Itty Bitty Banners (sentiment), Papillon Potpourri (butterflies)

Card Stock: Very Vanilla, Pool Party

Designer Series Paper: This and That Epic Day

Clean & Simple 4 Card Set

Last Night I made a 4 pack set of cards for a friend of mine who is having a surprise birthday party today.  She loves butterflies and so I did a Happy Birthday, Get Well, and 2 Thinking of you cards.  I also added sentiments to the inside.  I was really pleased with how they turned out, but not so much my photos, but this was a quick take so I could get them wrapped.

Here is one of the cards with the envelope!

And another card by itself!

Each card was made just alike except for a different sentiment added!

Butterfly Birthday card

 

Good Sunday Morning to you!  Looks like we may have a rainy day today, but that is OK.  I still can't do a lot of getting out with this foot healing, but it is doing a lot better and I can sit at my craft table for a while and get something done.  This is a card I worked on yesterday for a little while and was inspired by this weeks sketch over at Paper Craft Crew Challenges.  It kind of goes back to spring, but I was needing some more birthday cards to send out and this just seemed to be the perfect birthday card.  Don't you think so?

 

Here is a side view of the card!

 

 

And I did use some of my shimmer paint spray, so there is a little sparkle. I tried to get some of that sparkle in a photo so this is the best I could do with that.  Not the best but it shows some of the sparkle.

 

 

And here is the inside.  Did not add a sentiment as yet to the inside.

 

 

All items used are Stampin' Up!

Thanks for stopping by on this wonderful Sunday and now I must go and get ready for church as I am teaching this morning.  Blessings on this Lord's Day!

 

Elegant Butterfly Punch

 

Wow, can you believe I made a card tonight.  Well my husband is back into the football mode with high school, so I am the Friday night widow for the next 3 months.  I am excited when it starts but love to see it end also.  This card was inspired by the sketch frenzy Friday sketch this week.  This is another item I have been wanting to use and just got around to it.  I am loving the new butterfly punch and the stamp set that goes along with it.  Now this embossing folder is one I found at AC Moore by Darice and it was on sale for under $3, so I could not resist.  And after making this card I now know why.

 

Here is a side view of the card.

 

 

I also spritzed it with Gold Glow Smooch Spritz.  Here is a close up which gives you a little idea of what it looks like.  Click on the photo and you will see a bigger image.

 

 

And yes, I did do the inside.  It has just become a habit now.
