Just Because

Happy Tuesday! I wanted to swing by to share a card I made and shipped off to a friend.   

This is a pretty CAS card, which is difficult for me to do.  But I was coloring these lovely Power Poppy pots and I was thinking of shelves on the wall and didn't feel it needed anything else.  For some reason when I was making this it reminded me of miss Michelle Ferguson (I Card Everyone), so I sent it her way.  I used my Copics for coloring.  I cut some woodgrain paper for my shelves.  I stamped and embossed this sentiment from Crafter's Companion and threw on a few sequins.

Thanks for the visit!

What a wonderful world

Hello Wonderful!  Yes, I am talking to you! J Thank you for visiting me today to see my creation.

I’ll keep this short and sweet as this one is pretty simple.  I used the Concord & 9^th Wonderful Florals Stamp.  I stamped on watercolor paper and used Archival Ink, I used my Misti to make sure I got it dark enough.  Once I had her down on paper, I used my Zigs to add color.  I love the soft subtle hues, they make me swoon. 

I MADE my husband send this one to my MIL for Mother’s Day- you know how that goes for most men.  I hope she liked it!

 Thanks for the visit!

Spring/Summer CLC Bloghop Day 8

Well, the final day of the Spring/Summer CLC Bloghop is here.  Sniff.  But it was a fun ride wasn't it?!?!  I have one final card for you before all is said and done and it features products from FOUR super sponsors!

This last one features stamps from SS Honey Bee Stamps Coffee Break set.  I stamped them on watercolor paper and colored them using my SN Aquablend pencils and water pen.  I placed this on the cut circle from SS SugarPea Designs Zig Zag Stitched Circles.  On which I stamped the sentiment from SS Lawn Fawn's Life is Good set. The DP is from American Crafts Sunny collection.  Lastly, you'll notice that I used SS Avery Elle Scalloped Frame Die. 

Now we all make mistakes and being able to admit it is a good thing.  Honestly, I probably need a whole stack of these card with a Sbux gift card enclosed so I can make up for mine!  :)

Well, I hope you have enjoyed the hop as much as I have!  Happy Friday!

Spring/Summer CLC Bloghop Day 7

One more day after today.  Boo-hoo, I don't want the CLC hop to end!

But today I have a bonus for you, this post has not one, but TWO cards.  So grab your cup and sit down and enjoy!

Can I start by saying I LOVE this card.  Those cute and tiny cups!  And they are perfect on the ephemera squares from the Pink Paislee Pick Me Up collection that I won from Super Sponsor Drive By Crafts.  I cut the cups from the same paper pack.  It makes me happy to read them, "Big Ideas... Coffee, Remember...Coffee, Goals...Coffee, The Sweet Life...Coffee (Or TEA)!"  The darling cups are actually charms!!!  They are from this darling die set from Karen Burniston shown below. And the background paper is velum with the sprinkles, so fun.  The twine from timeless twine is the perfect compliment. 

This next card is a compliment to the first.  They make a nice 4X4 pair, perhaps a gift set. 

This card features the same cute little die set from above.  Here you can see is being used as a charm (where as above, I cut off the circle portion that would make it a charm).  I used the same paper collection and twine.  This card also features the sentiment from Super Sponsor Neat & Tangled in gold.  This is laid upon the fun DP that supports the message that is cut from a circle die from Super Sponsor Lawn Fawn. 

I do hope you will come back tomorrow for a final post!

Spring/Summer CLC Bloghop Day 6

Happy Day 6!

Phew, this hop is keeping me busy!  I have hardly commented, I never get to them all or even close but I def have some ground to make up.  Wish me luck!

Today's card features this absolutely DARLING image from Super Sponsor Your Next Stamp.  I love this image because it is about as sweet as can be.  AND it reminds me a bit of my sweet daughter who just adores cats of all kind.  You can see her sweetness in her photo below. :)

I so enjoy coloring, my copics get more use that almost anything in my craft room.  After I colored this image I cut it using an MFT stitched rectangle die.  There is a bit of ephemera on the side from the Pink Paislee Pick Me Up Collection  On which I stamped the happiness sentiment from the YNS set.  The largest rectangle is from a Gina Marie Designs set. I have also included some twine from Timeless Twine. I just love how the design and color come together, so cute. 

Have a wonderful day!

Spring/Summer CLC Bloghop Day 5

Wow, I can't believe the Spring/Summer CLC bloghop is a little more than halfway over already!  I am exhausted and sure could GOPHER a coffee...

Bu-dum-dum!  OK, I am totally cheesy, anyone who knows me is aware!  Sorry I didn't warn you first.

Today's card features the Gopher It! by Super Sponsor Gerda Steiner Designs.  This dude is adorbs and I love his glasses!  Super Nerdy Cute!   I colored him with my copics and mounted him on this yellow die cut oval from MFT.  On which I also put the die cut sentiment from Hello Bluebird.  This fun DP is from Photoplay and I cut it using my Super Sponsor Gina Marie Designs scalloped rectangle (which I use ALL the time!) and mounted on my white cardstock.

I feel like this is a good card for a guy.  I wonder, do you make many masculine cards?  Why or why not?

Thanks for stopping by!

Spring/Summer CLC Bloghop Day 4

Have you had enough of this hop yet?  HINT- the answer is NO WAY!  Me either, so let's enjoy a little more shall we? 

Here is my card for Day 4. 

This card seriously just makes me giggle.  I do love cute things and these trolls from Super Sponsor Craftin' Desert Divas nailed it!  The funnest (is that a word?) part is coloring the hair, which I did, along with the rest, using my Copics.  I am really into blue always, and right now I seem to be into yellow, so those are my primary colors.  The backdrop uses a cloud stencil and Distress Oxide ink.  On top of that is this fun die cut from Hello Bluebird.

I think I could hang out with that little dude and his HUGE cup of coffee while chilling in the sunshine.  How about you? 

Thanks for visiting again today!  Happy Memorial Day to my US friends!
