Tuesday Morning Sketches Challenge #748

Welcome to my blog, where I have
a new card to share with you each week for

Tuesday Morning Sketches

Here is the sketch for this week:

Using some patterned paper a friend recently sent me, I made this card.
This card doesn't exactly follow the sketch, but it did use up some of the scraps from the first card.

Thanks so much for stopping by my blog.

Tuesday Morning Sketches #598

Welcome to my blog, where I have
a new card to share with you each week for

Tuesday Morning Sketches

You would never believe how long it took me to make this relatively simple top fold card. I wanted to duplicate the postage stamp die cut in the sketch. Only one problem, I don't have a postage stamp die. I do have a set of scalloped border dies from Pink and Main. How hard could it be to make that shape with a border die? Pretty darn hard! I'm sure I spent well over an hour making that one piece of this card. Next time I see a stamp die on sale, I am buying it!

The Penny Black fussy cut bunny was colored with water color pencils and markers then blended. The sentiment stamp is CTMH, dp is from SU, the large scalloped border is from P&M also, and the embossing folder is by Darice.

I hope you'll have time to play along at

Tuesday Morning Sketches

this week.

The Design Team would love it if you'd visit our blogs.

Double Trouble Challenge #23

They are sporting lots of green with a touch of gold over at

Double Trouble Challenge #23. And they've paired up with this week's Heart 2 Heart Challenge, as well.

I started out making an altered double display card. It turned out so nicely I decided to save it for the March Joyful Stars Blog Hop this coming Sunday. You might want to check back to see it.

Consequently, I was back to needing a card for this week's Double Trouble Challenge. I decided to pull out one of the card fronts I made the other day using a baggie of CTMH paper scraps. Things are pieced here and there, but you'd never know it.

The stamps I used are from the retired March Word Puzzle stamp set from Close to My Heart.

Additional challenges:

Cut It Up Challenge #168 - Clovers (I used dies for the stitched rectangle and the scalloped strip.)

Inkspirational Challenge #181 - Use your stash

Tuesday Throwdown Challenge #391 with Sweet n Sassy

This week we are making shaped cards for the

Tuesday Throwdown Challenge.

My DH and I attend a lot of soccer games to watch our grandson. At this time of year, the soccer moms are wearing their pretty boots to walk in the often wet grass.

That was my inspiration for this shaped card featuring the

tulips digital stamp from Sweet n Sassy, our sponsor this month.

This is a top fold card. The tulips were printed directly on the yellow paper. After coloring them with markers, I put a piece of gold foil adhesive over top for an easy shiny, glittery effect, before adhering the red border.

Sweet'n Sassy Stamps is a small, family-owned, Christian company offering exclusive images,designs and sentiments in both clear and digital stamps. They also carry a small number of exclusive die designs, some of which coordinate with their stamps. A wonderful Bible Journaling line of stamps is also available.

I hope you'll join us at Tuesday Throwdown Challenge thisweek with a shaped card of your own. My wonderful teamies all have creations of their own to show you.

And, please don't forget to stop by Sweet n Sassy Stamps to check out more of the great items available.

Tuesday Throwdown Challenge #383 with Lacy Sunshine & buttons

Welcome to my Tuesday Throwdown Challenge post.

Today I'm using Rory's April Showers May Flowers a coloring page/digi stamp by Lacy Sunshine

for this center step card with buttons.

I thought a center step card was the best way to feature this darling image. I'm sorry you can't see the tiny drops Liquid Glass on each of the raindrops and the puddle.
