With Sympathy

Good morning, It is with sad news that my best friend lost her mother recently. So I made this card to snail mail to her with my deepest sympathy. I knew her mother ever since we were in HS....lots of years....

A side view....

I added a dove on top....it has wink of stella, but it is hard t see..

Hope everyone stays well....

Mom

Hi, TGIF....well I'm on another 4 day weekend from the hospital. It has been slow in surgery and with only urgent cases going on right now. I hope everyone is staying at home and keeping well. Meanwhile, I made this card for my mother. I love her so much. I decided to use the inspirational colors from this week's Color Throwdown #586. 

Lately, I have been loving to make these 5 x 5 inch cards and going a bit crazy with layers....

A closer view...the pearl pearls are liquid pearls...much faster and tedious...except you have to patient and let it dry a bit....lol 

The awesome colors....

Thanks for stopping by today...

Mother's Day Wishes

Good Morning! Today I'm sharing with you a card that I made for my mother for this upcoming Mothers Day. She loves reds and pink so I made this pink card using beautiful flowers from Prima. The sentiment is from Verve before it closed down....miss you! Trying to keep busy during this time of social isolation....what are you doing? 

I wanted to make this card shabby chic so I added pearls and some cloth lace. I also distressed the papers and my mother loves cats so I had a tiny die cut from Cheery Lynn Designs. It is hard to see but it has glitter on the cat o give it an extra shine. 

I live these leaves from Creative Expressions. I think this time I made my lines a bit straighter too! LOL

Thanks for stopping by today! 

Keep safe and well!

A Nautical Happy Birthday

Hello again! Today, I'm sharing a new nautical card using lot of Dies R Us die cuts. This new sailboat from Impression Obsession is so adorable! It is perfect for birthdays, anniversaries, babies or any beach themed card or scrapbook page.

Lots of layering papers and die cuts here. 

Added some bling for bubbles for a finishing touch.

I die cut out the doodling frame twice. once in whit and once with a pattered paper for the center. Then layered them together.

The sails were die cut out in white and then layer3ed blue in the background. The center was die cut out in kraft paper and the boat bottom out of blue cardstock.

I inked up the fence and scrunched it up a bit.

Die cut bunches of coral and layered the ships helm in kraft and white paper. 

Die Cuts Used:

Impression Obsession - Dies - Sailboat

Impression Obsession - Dies - Beach Fence

Sue Wilson Designs - Fillables Collection - Nautical Accessories

ScrapMan - Dies - Doodling Frame

Thanks Bunches

Good Morning! It's Lisa back today sharing a thank you card for Dies R Us.

These new Impression Obsession die cuts are so fun! I love the color red so I knew I wanted to make strawberries to put in the cart. Yes they are on steroids! LOL 

Did I mention that I am in LOVE with the Mosaic Leaves by Sue Wilson! OMG! I can't stop making cards without using these leaves. They are sooooo beautiful! 

Let's not forget about my Lawn Fawn passion....I finally broke out these Just Stitching Double Rectangles. It works great because i can't sew. So it gives you a similar look. The stitched clouds are adorable and it has been something that I have been placing my sentiments on too. 

First, I die cut out the strawberries and used a black marker for the seeds. Then glued the leaves in green on top with pop dots underneath.

Layers of double stitching papers.

The amazing leaves! I have also used them in different colors too. 

Last but not least! The clouds with sentiments.

Die Cuts Used:

Impression Obsession - Dies - Jam Jar Fruits

Impression Obsession - Dies - Flower Cart

Sue Wilson Designs - Finishing Touches - Mosaic Leaves

Lawn Fawn - Just Stitching Double Rectangles Dies

Lawn Fawn - Spring Showers Dies

Sweet Baby Girl

Hello! Gosh I know it has been a while since my last post. Honestly, I have been creating but for future posts with Dies R Us. Be sure to come back for my posts coming up soon. Thanks! Meanwhile I have been wanting to make a card for a colleague who is having her first baby. Yep a baby girl! She loves giraffes and so hopefully she enjoys this adorable pink giraffe with pearl eyes. 

The die cut of the giraffe is from Cheery Lynn Designs. It actually has a much longer neck. However it wouldn't fit in the center of the oval....so I modified it to fit. Oh My Goodness do I love these new leaves that I recently purchased from Creative Expressions. The oval is from Spellbinders and the banner is from Cheery Lynn Designs too. The adorable small sentiment is from Verve.

The flowers are from my old stash. I added some pearls to the top and bottom edges. 

Thanks for stopping by today! 

Hope you enjoyed! 

Hugs Lisa
