RHSSC - Warmest Wishes

Well, I took a break this past week from blogging, but definitely not card making.  Friday our church had an all day craft day and one thing I did was figure out the design for my Christmas card and cut my card stock for all ninety cards...woo who!!   I also spent last Sunday and Monday traveling home from a wedding, shopping a little in Michigan City with the family, then stopping to pick up our two doggies, Slinky and Buster, from our wonderful friends who are willing to watch them when we travel.
Ok, now on to the Red Hot Stamper's sketch challenge for this week...  I wasn't sure what to do for this sketch at first, but after I grabbed the Flowering Flourishes set it seemed to just fall together.  Hmm...it just might be one of this month's stamp a stack cards.  To see a few more cards using this sketch click  here.




Thanks for looking and have a great day!

RHSSC - Forever & Always

Today's Red Hot Stampers' sketch challenge turned into a wedding card.  I was working ahead for the challenge (which I rarely do!) and realized I never made a card for my niece's wedding that I had coming up.  Well, it quickly turned into a card with her wedding colors on it.  I loved how it turned out...and it could be used for a lot of other types of cards too.  To see a few more cards from the Red Hot Stampers sketch challenge click here. I decided to also enter this into the Less Is More challenge also after seeing it goes perfectly with this week's theme...the colors blue and green.





Thanks for looking and have a great day!

Blooming with Kindness

It seems like the last card I come up with for my stamp a stack always happens to be my favorite out of the group.  This card was pretty simple to make and only took Whisper White card stock.  I'm not usually a ribbon person even though I put it on a lot of cards.  I like how it looks, but it's not always the easiest to work with.  Believe it or not I love the new In Color satin ribbon!

Need for Speed

Good morning...today's card is the only masculine card the ladies made at my July stamp a stack.  I think it was the easiest of the five cards to make this time too.  Yup, guy cards are usually pretty simple and to the point.  Not so sure they'd enjoy getting a card with a lot of flourishes and flowers on it anyway. lol  



To those of you who are new to my blog via my facebook page, welcome, and thanks for liking my page!  I've already posted one of the five cards earlier that we made.  I think (yes, think) this one was my second favorite for the month.  To see the card click here...it's the second card. :)  

Thanks for looking and have a great day!

RHSSC Bird Builder

It's Sunday so that means it's time for another Red Hot Stampers' sketch challenge.  I'll admit I had no idea what I should put on today's card, but my mom pointed out a bird on a card using the Bird Builder punch at my last stamp a stack, and I thought I should give it a try.  Yup, I've had the punch for quite a while and never made a bird out of it.  Guess there's a first time for everything!


Head over to the Red Hot Stampers' blog here to check out a few more cards with this sketch.

Delicate Doilies - 2

Well, I see I have a couple of cards that I never posted just hanging out in my blog waiting to be shown. lol  These were made to feature the Delicate Doilies die.

 


This second card was inspired by Lauri over at Paperville Crafts...such a cute card.  I didn't have the delicate designs embossing folder yet, so I improvised a little bit.  That's what's so great about making cards.  You can see a card to get ideas, but improvise when you don't have "everything" out there...although I was pretty close with this one!
