Week of 4/11/20 Cards

 FS687 - the super talented feature stamper this week is Sharon (sharonwisely). I found this set of TAGS. I was inspired by the individual tag with the leaf.

I stamped the DRS Designs tree image and masked the setting sun with a white punched circle.

Sponging light yellow, orange, mauve, purple and navy from bottom to top and then back down to blend the colors. Next I removed the masked circle and lightly added the light yellow to give it some color.

I hand drew in the hill and finished off with white gel for stars.

Stamped the birthday sentiment and popped the image and sentiment on dimensionals on the birch tree embossed background.

Seeing the Beauty...in Nature

 CAS580 - Baby Love - use a baby something on your card, human, animal, etc. (baby Jesus & sheep)

CCC20APR - Non traditional colors (Brown & Blue)

These manger images were sent to me by Jan (Precious Kitty). I colored all of them up and used them for a stack of cards.

The panel was masked and used 3 different blues to sponge the sky. Then punched yellow paper and put it behind the manger scene. Popped the image on dimensionals.

Used white gel pen and die cut the star for the sky and stamped the sentiment.

Wishing You...

 MMTPT611 - Use a stencil, purple, and of course, stamping. Spiritual cards are welcome

Sponged the BG with a leaf stencil in green. Die cut the butterflies and added green to the large butterfly. Heat embossed the sentiment and popped on dimensionals. Finished off with sequins.

I decided that a few family and friends that are single and can't get out to see people also needed cards and this was a super quick card to make so I made a couple extra to send to some other sweet ladies. I hope it brightens their day. It seems many can use some extra card love right now.

 WT787 - Ways to use Purple

USEIT2020 - Die cut Purple Heart

These cards started out with me wanting to use up the die cut purple heart from my tote. Then I decided I needed to get a few more pet sympathy cards for my monthly donation.

Cut a coordinating purple DP for the first layer then a light purple layer all layered over a black layer. The light purple layer was embossed with a script EF.

Used the purple heart under the die cut dog and for the cat I added a punched purple heart. Finished with the sentiment and a couple of black banners.

Week of 4/4/20 Cards

 FS686 - the incredibly talented Featured Stamper is Betty (gabbygal). I found this CARD and this CARD and could not decide between them. So I merged them to my card.

I used the inspiration of the black and white long strips of paper and used the DRS Designs Tassel stamp for my long strips. I put them across the entire BG and then cut it down to mirror the second card of the white strip. I trimmed with gold and then the black card base to mirror the layout of the second card.

I then used the DRS Designs let the Adventure BEGIN sentiment stamp and trimmed it in gold.

I finished the card off with the graduation cap and stars stickers.

IC748 - Today's inspiration American Meadows where I found this great IMAGE.

My sister requested an anniversary card as this year is her 20th anniversary. She wanted an arch on the card and left the rest up to me.

When I saw the inspiration of pink and blue I wanted to incorporate her 4 amazing kids and so I added 1 pink and 3 blue flowers for those sweet babies.

Shaped the flowers, used this great bride and groom die cut sent to me from Jan (Precious Kitty) and popped the arch and couple on dimensionals. Added the flowers and leaves and finished with nuvo drops and the bow.
