Made Especially For You Sketch Challenge: May

Hello Crafty Friends!

"Your Kindess Warms My Heart"

Here is my submission for the

Made Especially For You "May" Sketch Challenge

and the

Die Cuttin' Divas "Color" Challenge #64

(Incorporate Purple, Orange & Black)

inside

My card base is size A2 (black cardstock paper).  The patterned paper is from DCWV.  I used my Creative Memories square punch.  To cut the oval, I used the "Stamping" Cricut Cartridge.  For the hot cocoa stamp and sentiment, I used Fiskars "Latte Love" clear stamps.

Mojo Monday Sketch Challenge #234

Hello Crafty Friends!

"ROUND CARD"

Here is my submission for the

Mojo Monday Sketch Challenge #234

and the

Made Especially For You Challenge -- Distressed Ink

I used A Happy Heart 6x6 paper pad by My Mind's Eye:

Back

So, for this card, I used the Cricut Craft Room Basics (preloaded in the Cricut Craft Room) to make the scalloped circle and shadow.  For the center circle, I used the "donut" from the Love You A Latte Cricut Cartridge.  I made a rosette using the Martha Stewart Scoring Board.  Cut the small circle center with the 1" MS circle punch.  I used 7Gypsies Binding Ribbon to tie the card, and for the bow.  To punch the holes on top and to set gold eyelets, I used my Crop-A-Dile.  I distressed all the edges with Vintage Photo Distress Ink by Tim Holtz.  I used foam dots to give each layer dimension.  Also, each paper was mounted on Kraft paper by Recollections to make it more sturdy.

BTW, we had a choice between 2 sketches:

Mojo Monday Sketch Challenge #233

Hello Crafty Friends!

"LAUGH OUT LOUD"

Here is my submission for the

Mojo Monday Sketch Challenge #233

For this challenge, all of the papers I used are from DCWV -- "Everyday" Extreme Paper Stack.  I guess if I put some of my scraps away, you guys would get a different color palette!  But, I do love this stack, so I want to use it all! :-)  Anyway, I used a Martha Stewart punch (1" scalloped circle), and 3 gold buttons from my stash to create the "flower".  I also used some pink and white twine, and a gold metallic marker to trace the edges so they would pop.  I used foam dots so the flower would have some dimension.  I also used a Martha Stewart border punch for the heart strip.  For the inside of the card, I used one of my trusty $1.00 stamps from Michael's.

Made Especially For You Sketch Challenge - March

Hello Crafty Friends!

"THANK YOU"

This is my submission for the

Made Especially For You Sketch Challenge - March

For this challenge at Made Especially For You, it's sketch week.  So, all you had to do is follow the above sketch and put your own flavor into it.  I used The Sweet Stack from DCWV for all the paper.  For the banner, I used my Crop-A-Dile to punch the holes and set the eyelets, then I used some green and white twine to "tie" the pieces together.  I made a rosette with a punched scalloped circle as the center, and a cute winky Peachy Keen Stamp.  I also used 3 gold rhinestones from my stash.
