Serene Silhouettes Samples

Here are a couple more cards I made for my upline's open house last week using the set Serene Silhouettes.  Love this set!  You can do so much with it as you'll see with a few more cards that I'll be showing you this week...or maybe next week. 

I think this first card is a nice soft one and very easy to make.  I did get the design from someone, but can't seem to find it again...err!  I'll look for it and post it when I find it again.  I finally found it! lol  The design is from Deb Currier and you can check out her card here.

This one was a little more work, but I loved how it turned out.  I stamped with a couple of different colors on whisper white, sponged all over it, then stamped it againgwith versa mark slightly over the colors and embossed it with white embossing powder.

Thanks for looking and have a great day!

Sorry no recipes today.  I just needed a break from it, plus I don't have any of my samples anymore and I don't remember all the colors of ink I used.  How horrible is that! lol

It's Sunday and time for another Red Hot Stamper's sketch challenge.  I loved today's sketch and how this card turned out...hope you all like it too. :)  I must admit I had a few ideas going through my head, so it took me a bit to decide which one to do.  That's always a good thing.  Better than trying to come up with one idea and wishing it would pop in a little faster! lol  To see a few other sketches head over to the Red Hot Stamper's blog here.

Thanks for looking and have a great day!

Today I have 3x3 thank you's in a gift box and a small gift bag (perfect for any kind of chocolate! lol) to show you.  I really enjoyed making the cards and box because I was just staring out with my first of sixteen things. lol  My gift bag was the last thing, but I didn't want to just do cards.  Yup, I was running out of steam (and time), but loved every minute I had to sit and create everything.  It had been so long since I was able to take a couple of days to be crafty for more than one quick thing at a time.  

Thanks for looking and have a great day!

Today's card is one of the last of eight cards/projects that I came up with using the Delicate Doilies Sizzlets Die.  I couldn't wait to post this one because it's one of my favorites. lol  Anyway, I had decided cut the blue doily out, put heat and stick powder on it, then dazzling diamonds to see if I liked it.  I did like it, but didn't know what I was going to do with the piece so I set it aside.  I finally decided to put it with all white and make it into a wedding card.  I also said I had wanted to start doing some sketch challenges again and thought this card would be perfect for the SU-Only Fancy Frills challenge.

Thanks for looking and have a great day!

Well, it's been a while since I've posted regularly.  Let's see if I can break that habit and get into the swing of things again.  The rest of this week and into next week I'll be posting a couple of pics each day of the things I made for my upline's open house.  I made eight things using the new Serene Silhouettes set and eight using the new Delicate Doilies Sizzlet, so that will give me a few days worth of posts.  Now let's see if I can add a sketch challenge in here every now and then too.  I wanted to make something more than just cards so I started with a set of book markers using each of the stamps along with sayings from a few other sets that are in the current catalog.

I know it's a little early for Christmas, but I wanted to copy something similar to what I made a while back using the Paper Doily die, but this one was smaller and much easier!  I made another ornament and box to put it in where you can see through the cover.  It takes a little bit of work, but it wasn't difficult at all.  

Thanks for looking and have a great day!

Well, it's Father's Day today and what did I forget to do?  Give my dad his card yesterday because he's gone today!  I can't believe I did that, but it's too late now.  :(  So now on to today's Red Hot Stamper's card.  It's far from a Father's Day card though. lol  I really liked this sketch because I was able to quickly figure out and make what I wanted.  I did flip it though because that's what looked better with the set I used.  To see a few other cards with this sketch click here.

Yup, you know it's Sunday because I'm finally posting again for another Red Hot Stamper's Sketch challenge.  I had to think a little bit for today's card, but I knew I wanted it to be for a bridal shower because my niece is here from out of state and we have a shower for her today.
