Happy Birthday!

Hello everyone! 

I'm sharing a new card that I made last night for my girlfriend's daughter coming up in December. I know it is a bit early, but I was in the mood for purple and I wanted to use the beautiful sketch from Cardabilities #131. I seen that Heartfelt Creations is the sponsor this time and I loved being part of the DT once upon a time.... So I thought I would bring out some of my old papers from Heartfelt Creations to design this card. 

I distressed the edges of all the papers and fussy cut out the vines and butterflies from the HC patterned papers. The Olive Branches and French Doily are from Cheery Lynn Designs. I stamped the cake and sentiment from Verve. I seen the cake a while back and it was temporary out of stock. Finally when it came back I had to purchase it quick!

The flowers are from Recollections and the tiny roses I inked them up a bit darker to help match the card a little bit more. The cake was colored with purple pencils and I added a little shimmer to the top. I'm not so great with coloring, but I didn't realize that I didn't have any purple copics? On my list this upcoming weekend for the Scrapbooking Expo in Mesa, AZ

There are pop dots behind the cake and the sentiment. The purple lace border was cut with Martha Stewart punch. It is one of my favorites. 

Here is the sketch! Thank you so much! 

Have a wonderful day!

Hello everyone! TGIF

I have had a roller coaster of drama this week at work! Crazy and Stressful! Thank goodness I'm off this weekend and all next week! Off to Vegas Baby tomorrow! Excited! 

So today I'm sharing a new card that I made a few days ago, but I haven't had the chance to upload it until today. It is inspired by this week's cardabilities #127. 

Lots of mixed media here. No patterned paper, but lots of inking, flowers and bling.

Im so glad I was able to use some of my old stamps and old flowers from my stash. 

Here is the sketch # 127  Thanks 

Have a wonderful day!

Hi

Hi! 

Happy Father's Day! Today, I'm sharing with you a new card with a sketch from Cardabilities #125. When I seen the Flag stripes, I was thinking nautical theme. My father passed away several years ago, but he loved the beach just as I do. So that is how the flowers were Incorporated with the banner from Our Daily Bread.

I used 3 diecuts from Cheery Lynn Designs. The Ship's Anchor, Lighthouses and Pierced Banner. The papers I bought from Michael's called Seaside Yacht DCWV. I also placed one of my favorite diecuts from Memory Box Rue Le Flourish under the flowers. The flowers are in the dollar bins at Michael's too. 

No distressing on this card, just straight edges for a clean look. I did add thin pop dots under the anchor. 

Here is the sketch! Thank you Karen. 

Hope everyone has a nice day today. 

Be sure to stop by this week for more cards....

Hugs, Lisa

Hi Everyone, Its Monday!

 I have made a couple cards recently and was not able to to upload until today. I'm super excited to share this new shaker card. I'm sending it out soon. It was inspired by this week's Cardabilities #124. There is a circle in the background...lol But I wanted to use these diecuts from Our Daily Bread. 

LOVE THEM!  

The pink flowers are from Michael's in the dollar section. They have a little bit of glitter and pearls in the center. I also added little pearls on the edge of the heart and in the top right hand corner. The leaves, doily in the background, the banner with sentiment,  the pink strip in the background are all diecuts from cheery lynn designs. I also used my memory box diecut in the bottom left hand corner. If you want more details just comment below and I will happy to share. :0)

A little closer view....

You can see the foam between the layers... I might make a tutorial soon on this shaker card? 

Be sure to check back...

Here is the wonderful sketch! Thank you!

Have a great week! Lots of projects to share... coming soon! 

Hugs, Lisa 

You Are Special

Its Monday!

I'm sharing with you today a new card made for Cardabilities #123. It was also made for a card swap called angel swap. It is for a person that you feel needs an angel....my person need to feel special. So this is my angel card I'm sending...I hope that she loves it. 

A side look...I love the papers and the already embossed paper. I added lots of flowers too! 

The sketch has one tag but I added two and some pearls....I love the way it came out! 

The wonderful sketch! Thank you! 

Have a wonderful and memorable holiday! 

Hugs, Lisa

Merci Beaucoup!

 Hi! It's the weekend again! Yay! 

It's also getting pretty warm here in the valley...high 90's! Yuk! So Im thinking blues for a cool down and also for this week's Cardabilities #122 sketch. I had a few ideas rolling around so maybe I will do another card with the same sketch. :) You can never have enough "thank you cards" but I thought using another yet common saying for thank you was a nice change. 

 I have had this light blue flower for quite some time and it was perfect to use today! I also made a couple of extra flowers to go underneath using Cheery Lynn Diecuts throughout the card...

I added some pearl swirls and a few in the left hand top corner. Lots of distressing papers using my zutter....makes it super fast... no room for ribbon today! lol 

The amazing sketch! Merci Beaucoup! 

Thanks for stopping by today! More to come this week! 

Hugs Lisa 

Cherish Everyday

Hello everyone! 

Happy Friday! I'm off from work today and starting a 4 day weekend...yay! Its a good thing too because my left hip has been inflammed from work and I had it injected with cortisone yesterday to help...Its raining here today in the valley of the sun! lol  So that means I will be crafting all day and making new cards...hope to get more up during the week. 

Today, I'm sharing a card that I have been wanting to make and it is part of Cardabilities #121. I seen the sketch and immediately printed it up so I could make it as soon as I had time. I finished it last night and this is my interpretation of the sketch. 

I found this one sheet of paper from K and Company that I had left from a pack. So vintage looking and love the teal color with kraft. The punch is from Martha Stewart, my latest favorite one from Martha. Lots of leaves from Cheery Lynn Designs and the Fishtail Banner for my sentiment that was printed from the computer.  

The sentiment is layered over a spellbinder diecut and I added lots of flowers and a ribbon. 

I had some softer pearls that was a perfect match for adding just that little bit more without going overboard. 

Here is the wonderful and beautiful sketch...Thank you! 

Thanks for stopping by and have a wonderful day!

Your Kindness...

Good evening! Sharing a second card today! 

This afternoon I made a card that I have been wanting to make for over a week. 

It is from Cardabilities #118.

I recently just seen their sketches #116 and LOVE them! 

So here is my interpretation of the wonderful sketch. 

There was only one clock in the sketch but I added an extra two hidden behind the metal sentiment. This was an old stamp that I never used....about time! lol The paper is an old Pion Design paper....soooo vintage soooo beautiful! 

I added little flowers with grey brads and several leave diecuts from Cheery Lynn. 

I also added lace, MS punch and a metal brad for the closure.

Here is the beautiful sketch! 

Thanks for looking! 

Hugs

Just A Little Note

Hello everyone! 

Can you believe it is already Feb? Wow!! 

Today I'm sharing with you a card using a fabulous sketch from Cardabilities #116. This is my first time checking out the sketches there and wow is there some beautiful sketches and also amazing talent! Here is my interpretation of the sketch (bottom of the post) I wanted to use kraft paper and a bit of burlap on this card. I diecut out the heart and crimped it then punched tiny holes along the edges. 

I then layered a smaller heart cut with burlap on top. There is a bow made with cord on top. Some of the flowers were made with bitty blossoms and some made with miniature roses from cheery lynn. 3 of the them were store bought at my local Michael's in the dollar bins. Can you tell which is which? lol

I layered the flowers down first with greenery leaves in between from cheery lynn. Lately I have been using them a lot. They are just the right size for cards. The swirly spray is a diecut from memory box. I used it once in kraft and then the peach on top. 

One of my favorite parts of this card is my new stamp that I bought on clearance last week at Joann's for i think 2 dollars? I just love the wave to it and i just fussy cut it out and curled it a bit and glued it down in two spots. I also added a few green pearls that I have leftover from a project I while ago. The paper was stamped in the background and the heart diecuts are from Heartfelt Creations.  

So here is the beautiful sketch! It is perfect for this month!
