I miss you

Hello!  Thank you for stopping by

 

This week I am participating in the Cas-ual Fridays Tic Tac Toe Challenge.

I could have went many different ways in this challenge.  The board was amazing to work with.  In the end, I went with Butterflies, Add a tag and texture.

 

I decided to dig out my stencils to see what I had.  I definitely do not use them enough.   I came across a TCW Stencil and knew it was my golden ticket.  I then took Faber Castell whipped spackle and mixed a reinker from Cather Pooler Designs.   If you have reinkers, put them to use!  I hoard them, but also need to get them used even more.

 

To put the final touch on my card, I got out my Tim Holtz tag die set.   From Cas-ual Fridays, I used I Miss You from the Calm and Gentle stamp set (embossed in white).

 

I entered this card into the Cas-ual Fridays challenge:  Tic Tac Toe

Cas-ual Fridays Stamp products used:

Be

Full on Floral

Hope Fri-die 

 

 

 

1.  To start the card I embossed in gold the Full on Floral stamp. 

2.  I then took a blending tool and covered the entire background.

3.  From the Be stamp set, I took the butterflies and embossed those gold.  I lightly blended some ink on those as well. 

4.  For the hope die, I heat embossed a patch of gold and then die cut from that heat embossed area. 

5.  I took a piece of ribbon and decided diagonal placement for the hope and butterflies. 

6.  After placing the hope I took the butterflies and lightly with a pen rounded the wings to make them lift off the card.

Happy Birthday

Hello!  Thanks so much for stopping by.

 

Today I want to share a card made for the Cas-ual Fridays Red, Pink and White challenge.

 

 

The new release from Cas-ual Fridays caught my eye.  I purchased a few goodies and thought I'd use them for my challenge card.

 

I used:

Full On Floral (background)

Heartfelt Sayings

 

To make my background,  I embossed in white from Brutus Monroe.  I just love his embossing powders.  I then took Rockin Red from Catherine Pooler Designs and with the ink blending tool started heavy red and the made the ombre look .  I then tied some white ribbon and stamped Happy Birthday from the Heartfelt Sayings in Red from Brutus Monroe.

 

The card is super cute and will definitely make someone's birthday a little brighter!

My card this month is super simple, but super meaningful.   You see, a former co-worker of mine was a 2 time breast cancer survivor.. first round dating back 20 years.  This past Christmas she got some devastating news.  She had fallen and found out through that fall she had cancer in her body... again.   This card is more than just a card.. it's a card to remind her that she is loved and so many are praying for her.   So no matter what is going on in your life.. just remember to Be Brave.  ~With Love From Your Sistah

I used from Cas-ual Fridays - Calm & Loving
Pretty Pink Posh sequins - Sisterhood Sparkle
Twine

My card uses the new stamp set from last months release called Powerful Words. I simply lined up the 3 stamps on my MISTI and stamped with Versa Fine Black Onyx.  I then heat embossed clear to give it a shine.

I tied a bow below and that is my card!  It is a simple but powerful card for anyone going through a battle.

Here is the card I created for this month. I was wanting to do a different, but simple kind of card and I had done a collar fold card in the past and it turned out cute.  So this style is a collar fold card. 
 

I used Dream Then Do stamp set for my card. 

 

Here is my card to remind a friend "You've got This"

 

 

Your next stop is Kelly!  Thanks so much for stopping by and remind a friend to do a self check as well!
