CASe this Sketch #260

Hello Everyone,

Time to play along with CASe THis Sketch  I love the simple sketch for this week. I didn’t keep my “white space” quite as white as the sketch and I did turn things on their side too. Here is my card:

I used one of my favourite background stamps from Simon Says Stamp called Mod Flower Background - I stamped it in versamark and then heat embossed with silver. I coloured the big flowers with my Prisma colour pencils and the smaller flowers are done with my clear Wink of Stella to give a bit of shimmer. The “Happy” is from MFT’s “Happy Wonderful Christmas” and is die-cut from the silver glitter paper from this month’s MFT card kit. The banner sentiment is from a Simon Says Stamp set - have to check which one. The little glitter flower is an old die set I have -don’t remember where it is from. I used my purple Nuvo Glitter drops for the center of the flower. I popped the whole panel onto a mat made from the MFT silver glitter paper. Super-thrilled with the way it turned out!

Thanks for stopping by. Please feel free to leave a comment, as I love to hear your feedback!

Happy Stamping,

CASe This Sketch

Hello Everyone,

This week I am playing along with CASe this Sketch. If you rotate the sketch clockwise 90 degrees, you will see that I flipped this a bit. Here is my card:

I used a “Thanks” from  the MFT “Twice the Thanks” die-namics and the sentiments are from the stamp set that matches called “Kind Thanks”. I actually made this card to send to a YouTube blogger named Christopher Allen. He vlogs about lifestyle, organization and luxury items, but the heart of  his channel is really a message of kindness. I encourage people to check him out. I have been enjoying his channel so much that I thought I would send some handmade kindness his way. 

To make this card I die-cut some stencil sheets with the second largest heart from MFTs stacked hearts dies. Then I sponged the heart with Delicata gold and clear embossed - it is shiny and glittery! Then I die cut the “thanks” sentiment out and stamped the other sentiments in versafine Black Onyx (I clear embossed those as well). I die cut four extra thanks from Neenah Solar White and stacked them up with the original die cut on top. Then I inlaid it. I love the clean and simple style of this.

Thanks so much for stopping by - I would love to hear what you think, so please feel free to leave a comment!

CASology: Swoon

Hello Everyone,

This week over at CASology the cue card is “Swoon” - perfect for Valentine’s month. I am sure I am not the only one busily creating Valentine’s Day cards. Every year I bring a bunch in to work for my co-worker’s; they are so popular, that they start asking in January if I am going to bring the cards in.

Of course I have been playing with some of my new sets, but for this card I combined old and new together.

The stamped heart is from a Concord and 9th set that came out last year called “Big Hugs” (I think) and the banners are from a new set by MFT called “From the Heart”. I love the sentiments in this set - like all MFT sets they are very versatile.

Thanks for stopping by. I hope you are enjoying your weekend. Feel free to leave a comment - I always love to hear from you.

Happy Stamping,

Meg
