God is Love

Its been two weeks since I made a card!  Had some other things going on...  I've got to start getting my house in order (LOL).  But it needs to warm up a little.  Until then, I'll be designing cards.

I made this card using the January 2018 Viva La Verve Sketch.  I am entering it into the Simon Says Stamp "Winter Blues" Challenge as well.

I used a patterned paper which has been in my stash for years.  I believe it was Graphic 45 but I am not sure, its double sided.  I did not like the "branch" element too much so I photographed my creation with and without it.  I cut the top layer from the bottom layer using a stitched layering rectangle die set so the stripes would line up. For the greeting,  I used the new bundle from Stampin' Up!, Cross of Hope.  The white circle and scallop came from a card die set I purchased from Michael's by Stephanie Bernard.  I use these all the time, they are so cute.  I die cut the stitched fish tail banners from textured white card stock and layered those behind the top panel.  And finally, the flower was made from the blossom builder punch (retired from Stampin' Up!)  I glued each petal individually and when that dried, I added a black rhinestone to the center.  I'm working little by little on my flower embellishments.  Spring is fast approaching.  Thanks for Looking!

February 2018 Paper Pumpkin Unboxing and Alternative Projects

Happy Birthday to me! Today is my birthday and I received a sweet gift of 132 Prismacolor Premier pencils!  I may post those if I can find the time. Here is my Paper Pumpkin Alternative showcase for this month (Lol).  I put these together fairly quickly and still have lots of kit to spare!  My favorite item was the linen thread, so glad to add that to my growing collection.  I am currently a demonstrator but I'm not sure I will be after March, I may not have enough sales to remain a demonstrator.  However, I love Stampin' Up! products and I do plan to continue my Paper Pumpkin subscription for now, so I'll post my monthly projects.  I have two videos for these cards you can view them below.  TFL. I just saw my Paper Pumpkin unboxing video had 52 likes!  To see this video:  https://youtu.be/DLlxibr2pA8 My second video is uploading so I'll update the post once that video is live.

MOJO Monday Sketch 506

For this card I followed the Mojo Monday Sketch 506 .  I used Stampin' Up's Bottles & Bubbles dies and Stampin' Up's Bubble Over DSP which was a Sale-A-Bration item in 2018 and super cute!  I am a paper hoarder and sometimes find it difficult to cut the papers, but I'm coming around.  I took advantage of Stampin Up's current Demonstrator offer which gets you $175 worth of product for only $99.  Shipping is Free!  I loaded up on papers!   So all the papers, the bottle, and the caps, came from the same paper set.  I used Fresh Fig linen ribbon under the bottle and I added some dew drops to accent.  Don't you think it is so hard to place these little dew drops?  I think I did OK with this card, but often I find it don't look quite right.   Other people don't seem to have that problem.  Anyway, I added two 1/8" eyelets in black to balance off the card.  For the sentiment I used a Paper Pumpkin Stamp (I think February 2018, but not

Viva La Verve April 2018 Sketch

This is such a beautiful sketch!  I chose to keep the square the same as the base layer but I added an eyelet to the upper right corner.  I used the super cute and fun Stampin' Up! Bubble Over DSP, lemon lime twist cardstock and white cardstock.  I embossed the sentiment from Stapmin' Up! Picture Perfect and I'm down to the bottom of my jar and so that is why its bumpy as opposed to smooth so time to throw that out.  I can't find my other set of circle dies so until I do, I will have to use these wonky stitched circles.  I cut and layered various sizes because I usually layer my cards heavily!  For finishing touches, I added enamel dots and a lime green button plus a striped star and adhered looped, white bakers twine beneath the largest circle.  Thanks for taking a peek! I am also including this in the.   Inspire. Create Challenge #015 .  I created this for a male so I think it meets the criteria.
