RHSSC 34 - Thoughts of You

Welcome to another Red Hot Stampers sketch challenge.  I really wasn't sure what I was going to do for this sketch, but finally decided to use one of my favorite color combos with the stamp set Inspired by Nature...one of my favorite sets that's retiring. :(   Head on over to the Red Hot Stampers blog to check out a few more sketches.  If you're game play along. :)

Happy Mother's Day

My last card for my April stamp a stack was a Mother's Day card.  I couldn't decide between the pink and purple so I went with both and let them decide what color they wanted to do.  I got my inspiration for this card from mamaxsix on Splitcoaststampers.  Hopefully  you can view her lovely card here.

Inspired by Nature

Thought I would share the last two cards that I made for my April stamp a stack today and tomorrow.  I found my design for this card from Patty Gorka while looking around on Splitcoaststampers, and you can see her lovely card here.  I thought for sure the ladies would think this card was too simple, but for some reason we had a few problems with this one.  We had a lot of laughs by the time the night was done though!

Thanks for looking and have a great day!

Well, I almost forgot about our Red Hot Challenge because I've been under the weather for half of the week, so this post is going to be short and sweet!  I was SO glad the sketch was a basic one!

I even managed to do the inside. :)  

That's because this is also going to be one of my April stamp a stack cards.

Head on over to the Red Hot Stampers here to check out a few other cards.

Growing Green Anniversary

Well, I have been laid back about posting things on my blog lately, but I have a pretty card to show you today.  I've been looking for ideas for cards for my next stamp a stack and came across this card...at least this is my version of it. :)

I don't case a card very often, but I was looking for an anniversary card too while getting my stamp a stack ideas and loved the colors on this one.  Not too bright for the guy, and not too masculine for the girl.  I might even end up using it for my stamp a stack too, who knows. ;)  This came from Deb Fearns and you can check out her card here. I must say she has the shadowing effect down a lot better than me!   I just sponged and spritzed my flowers.  I guess I need to take some classes or study up on that technique a little bit!  If you like this stamp set you might want to look into buying it because it's on the retired list!  I love the flower from it that I've cut out...and I've done it quite a few times.  I hope they have something similar to it in the new catalog!

Thanks for looking and have a great day!

Today's card is another Red Hot Stamper's sketch challenge card.  I went masculine this week instead of doing another flower.  It was time to switch it up a bit, plus I need to start planning cards for my next stamp a stack.  This just might be one of them.  

I did change the sketch up just a little bit.  I wanted to put a birthday greeting on the front of the card and did that in some of the empty space at the top.  If you have time, make up your own card and join us in our challenge here .

Thanks for looking and have a great day!

Well, I'm cheating a little with today's post.  I don't have a card, but a project instead...that I didn't have to plan at all.  We had our Red Hot Stamper's demo meeting last night and Glenda had these cute purses for us to make.  They would make great shower, wedding or girl birthday favors that's for sure.  One thing I like about them is they are very quick and easy to make! :)

Thanks for looking and have a great day!
