Mother's Day Card

I have been blessed with some wonderful mothers in my life; 2 daughters in law, a daughter, the mother of one of my sweet grandsons, my amazing mother-in-law and my dear mother. So I have been busy making cards for each one of them.

This qualifies as an easy card for me. The stamps are new from GKD -love them. I stamped the texture stamp with some Vivid Taupe and then embossed the flower on it with white. The tags were cut with Spellbinder dies and a couple of white brads on them Added the ribbon for softness. That's it.

Thanks for stopping by and for leaving a comment! Come back tomorrow for another Mother's Day card.

I have been blessed with some wonderful mothers in my life; 2 daughters in law, a daughter, the mother of one of my sweet grandsons, my amazing mother-in-law and my dear mother. So I have been busy making cards for each one of them. Yesterday's post was my first card and here is my second. This one I followed the sketch from The Sweet Shop.


I tried a fun technique with this card. I colored the chunky (solid) stamps then spritzed some water on the stamps before stamping on GKD Pure Luxury white cs. Such fun and a different look. I also used some colors not usually associated with Mother's Day cards, just for a change. I used an Impressibility for the green panel.

Another Sunday and so glad that you could join us for another challenge at Stampin' Sisters in Christ.

This card was made without me reading the full directions! The challenge was to not use designer paper and my brain just thought of background. Silly me! But I liked the card so I decided to post it anyway and then make a second card that DOES follow the directions!

I made this card using ODBD stamps and stamped the tulips right on the DP. I stamped it several times and then popped up a few of the petals. I used two different Cuttlebug folders on the ivory paper. I loved that I had ribbon to match too!

Challenges: 
Our Daily Bread Designs: Sketch
Fabulous Friday - Stripes and polka dots
Simon Says Stamps: Anything Goes

And then I made this one to correct my error!

This card was quickly tossed together to show that I do know how to make a card without DP. LOL! I used another Cuttlebug folder to create the background using some of my distress inks, Bundles Sage and Victorian Velvet. I used the emboss resist technique for the flower image from ODBD. The sentiment was from an old stamps set from Sweet and Sassy Stamps. I threw a few tiny beads on the center of the flower. I know that it looks like the ink colors are different on the two white sections but it was the late afternoon light. I threw a hat pin on it for a fun addition.

Jugs: Emboss Resist

This week  MariLynn chose the verse for this week's challenge. The verse she chose is Romans 8:28.

And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose.

Right now one of our daughters is going through a difficult time and has some changes coming in her life. I know that she is totally in God's hands and that things will turn out okay for her. She is very much loved and very special to our Father! She is mentally challenged and does have total trust that everything will be okay. She trusts us and the people that are involved in her life totally. That is the trust that  we all must strive for.

The challenge this week is to use no designer paper, paper must start as a solid color.

Our sponsor this week is Clear Dollar Stamps with a cling stamp set.

CSS - StampTV Kit Blog Hop - 4/27/2011

It is another StampTV blog hop and this time it is a Treasure Hunt with the Stamp TV kits being the treasure!

My first card is from the most recent StampTV kit called Springtime Silhouettes. I love this set! I chose the butterfly and wet embossed it with black on GKD Pure Luxury Ivory, then cut it out. I took a panel of the ivory and "dirtied" it with some Black Soot and Pumice Stone Distress Inks. I used the Fleur De Lis Spellbinder Die and tossed a few pearls on it. I had some ivory lace and that little strip of DP from Graphics 45. I had the button and the ribbon. The small tag was a MS punch and the tiny butterfly was from the Sending Sunshine stamp set also from GKD.

 

My second card was a really quick last minute card. I have had the first Stamp TV set I purchased called Eclectic Summer and Eclectic Summer Sayings, sitting on my craft table for a week but inspiration did not strike until I opened my order from GinaK and one of her new paper packs was in there. It is from Echo Park and is called "A Walk in the Park". Aha, now I knew what I was going to make. I stamped and colored the hot air balloon and then used some clear embossing powder on it. Then I used the scalloped circle Spellbinder and sponged them a bit to look a little like clouds. I used a Cuttlebug folder on some of the DP and just kind of threw it together. I took the picture just an hour ago and now I am thinking it needed something else on it. But - too late. Here it is as it is.

You should have arrived from Sharri Seffens blog where you were undoubtedly very impressed! If you want to start at the beginning  or get lost along the way, just jump directly to the links for all of the wonderful creations on StampTV.

As always, your comments really do mean a lot to me. Thank you for leaving them.

Birthday Dress

To see the Stampin Sisters in Christ Challenge post please scroll down.

A simple birthday card. I had still not used this cute stamp from GinaK Designs called Celebrate in Style. This image just begged to be paper pieced! And with 2 daughters and 2 DIL and 6 granddaughters I am sure I will use this card! 


I had that polka dot paper in my scrap bin and no clue where it came from! I am usually pretty good about putting things back but that one escaped me! I used my Swiss Dot Cuttlebug folder and that yellow ribbon worked.

Peaceful Swan

To see the Stampin Sisters in Christ Challenge post please scroll down.

I made this card for the Release Party contest at StampTV. The contest challenge is to use 3 different DP on the card. All three of these papers were from one of the new Basic Grey paper packs called Sweet Threads. I love those colors and seemed perfect for the swan. 


I colored the swan and the water with Distress Inks and pen nubs. I really like this technique - fun and a different than coloring with Copics. I then embossed the image using UTEE (Ultra Thick Embossing Enamel) to make it look like water. 


The sketch is for the Mojo Monday Challenge.

He is Risen! - Luke 24:46-47

He is risen, Alleluia! Happy Easter dear friends. So glad you could join us for  another challenge at Stampin' Sisters in Christ.

This week sweet Rebekka chose the verse for this Easter challenge. The verse she chose is Luke 24:46-47.

... and (Jesus) said to them, "Thus it is written, that the Christ should suffer and on the third day rise from the dead, and that repentance and forgiveness of sins should be proclaimed in his name to all nations, beginning from Jerusalem...

This week my reflection would be very redundant - the verse and the day says it all - He is risen.  Please read Rebekka's wonderful devotional on the main page.
 

The challenge this week is to create a round Easter card.

Frieda at the Gate

Have you heard that Lisa (co-founder of SSIC) has opened her own store? Did you know that Nina Bracket is now going to be designing for her? Were you aware that Little Frieda is just at her store? Oh Yeah! 

For this card I used 3 stamps sets from TCM (The Craft's Meow). First I stamped the gate and roses, then colored the image and distressed the entire pane. I sponged distress inks over the panel several times wetting in between sponging. Then I cut it out rather raggedly and curled over the edges to make it look REALLY old! Frieda was stamped, colored with Copics and cut out. I also fussy cut the flowers again and popped them up a bit. I left the background panel plain, other then distressing, and placed the embossed lace stamped image just behind Frieda. Added the sentiment and the buttons and there she is!


On May 1st TCM will have some new additions too - can't wait to see what she will have for us! I am so excited and you should be too.

Baptism: Matthew 16:23

Palm Sunday - such a special day in the liturgical calendar. And another challenge from Stampin' Sisters in Christ.

This week it is Peggysue who chose the verse for the challenge. The verse she chose is  Matthew 16:23 . Perfect for this season of Palm Sunday.

Jesus turned and said to Peter, "Get behind me, Satan!"

Temptation - we all face it daily in one form or another. Sometimes is is easy to resist, other times not so much. Satan is always so busy trying to get us to make bad choices, we have to work harder to resist. It is a good thing that we can call for help - Jesus did in the Garden of Gethsemane when He asked His father to let the cup pass from him. When we are in constant communication with Our Father we have help keeping Satan behind us more often.

Use Versamark for a tone on tone background somewhere on your card. 

Next Saturday night at the Easter Vigil service our 6 newest (through adoption this past year) grandchildren will be welcomed into the church through baptism, 1st Holy Communion, and Confirmation. We are so happy for them and for our family. I made each one of them a different card and posted them all on my blog in previous posts. This is the last card and it is for the youngest, 5 year old Victoria.

We have 5 grandchildren receiving their First Holy Communion and Confirmation at the Easter Vigil Mass next week. Another one is being baptized. For those of you who follow my blog these are the children that our oldest son and his wife adopted. We are lucky grandparents and I am a busy card maker! I am trying to make them all different. The first 2 cards (for the boys) was my previous blog post. These are for the three middle girls (9, 8, 7). Sunday morning I will post the last one on my Stampin Sisters in Christ post. 


I really like the way these turned out. There is nothing better than making a card for specific people (kids) who are very close to my heart.

Thank you for looking and for your comments.

Iris Thoughts: Mark 15:17

Another busy week. Sadly work is really interfering with my stamping! Very ready for a vacation! Another Super Special Sunday with a challenge from Stampin' Sisters in Christ.

This week the wonderful Kristine chose the verse for this week's challenge. The verse she chose is Mark 15:17. Perfect for this season of Lent.

"They put a purple robe on him, then twisted together a crown of thorns and set it on him."

Oh how He loves us! That is in a song by The David Crowder Band (contemporary Christian) and this verse made me think of that song. The sacrifice Jesus made for us is almost beyond what I can imagine. I was talking to my husband about this verse and wondering how I was going to relate it in a now way. He told me that it reminds him of my dad. My father (86) takes care of my mother (84) 24 hours a day. She has had several strokes and needs  around the clock care. He changes her diapers and bathes her and tries to meet all of her physical and emotional needs. My brother and sister and I do come by and help as do the wonderful people from Hospice. But my dad really is giving his "quality" of life to the love of his life - my mom!

This week the challenge is to use shades of purple as your main color AND/OR use wood paper or elements on your card.

I am always amazed at how many shades of purple there are! My card has several and none of them seemed to match - however - they did not clash either! The iris is really purples although it photographed a little more blue than it is IRL. I used the baby white technique to create the panel behind the image and rather than a circle for the main image I put the circle behind it using vellum after sponging the edges a bit. The sentiment is a rub on in white. Some lace and pearls and a ribbon and the card is done!

Our sponsor this week is Simon Says Stamps with the "Why do Birds Fall in Love" stamp set.

CSS - Inspiration Blog Hop - 4/8/2011

It is another StampTV blog hop and this time it is an Inspiration challenge. 

There were so many options with this inspiration, all of them lovely and fun. The first card was based on Premier 6 and I went with the colors of pink, black and white. I had still not had a chance to play with the newest StampTV kit and really wanted to use that. I love the bird cage and decided to emboss it in black and cut it out. On the background I took out Melanie's Wild at Heart and stamped it with Victorian Velvet Distress Ink. Then highlighted it a little with my Sakura pen. A black bow and some silver cord to look like a chain. The sentiment was from a rub on. 

The second card was from the Premier 9 and I followed the sketch and the monochromatic white. I stuck with the StampTV kit and used one of the butterflies. I stamped it on velum four times and used some pearl ex to make them sparkle 2 in a blue and two in white. I then carefully cut them out and popped them up. I added some of the flowers and put some pearls around it.  

You should have arrived from Melissa Cash blog where you were undoubtedly very impressed! If you want to start at the beginning  or get lost along the way, just jump directly to the links for all of the wonderful creations on StampTV.

I am the last stop on this hop. Thank you for joining us and be sure to come back soon.

As always, your comments really do mean a lot to me. Thank you for leaving them.

Birthday Basket

To see the Stampin Sisters in Christ and Craft's Meow post please scroll down.

A birthday basket of flowers. I stamped the basket on Tan Leather and the flowers on white. Then cut and colored. I cut up some yarn that I had and glued that into the middle of the flowers. I also popped up the flowers. I used an Impressibility for the green background and a MS border punch for the little bit of peach.  

A quick and easy put together card since I already had the flowers colored and the basket stamped. They were just waiting to be used. Now they are home and on their way to a birthday of a friend.

Thanks for looking and for the comments!

Well Wishes: Luke 18:17

I did not get a lot of other cards made this week. Some weeks are just busier than others. But I did get my card done for my favorite day of the week; Sunday's challenge at Stampin' Sisters in Christ.

This week it was my turn to choose the verse for this week's challenge. The verse I chose is from the book of Luke chapter 18 verse 17.

"Amen I say to you, whoever does not accept the kingdom of God like a child will not enter it."

About an hour before Mass tonight my phone rang. It was one of the ladies from church who was scheduled to do tonight's readings. She had broken a hip and after a somewhat lengthy recovery (at age 89) she was back in the rotation. Well, Martha asked me to cover for her saying that she felt a little uncertain, so I said I would. Normally when it is my turn to do the readings I practice several times during the week so I was a bit nervous myself. When we arrived at church I was surprised to see  Martha. She felt better and was still going to do the reading but wanted me to sit with her and take over if she could not finish. She just needed a little support - she did great too. Trust - she placed her trust in me and together we placed our trust in God.

Please see my full devotion at the home page of Stampin Sisters in Christ.

This week the challenge is to create a card or project for a child.

I made this card for my granddaughter who had to have her tonsils out this week. It is scary for an 8 year old to go through a surgery and I wanted to send her a little comfort. I stamped the image, colored it and cut it out. Then I used several pages from the BG Olivia DP. I found the charm in my stash and placed a few dew drops on it. The seam binding ribbon was a gift!

He is the Lamb

Oh my, I love it when a mistake turns out well! I had made the lamb a few weeks ago not sure how I was going to use it. Then I found some of my flocking which I do not use very often. So I decided to make the lamb look a little wooly. I then found the sketch challenge over at CPS and was going to use this lamb in that sketch. Okay so far. I really liked the kraft card stock with this and was so pleased to find the DP from DCWV that matched it so perfectly. 

My mistake was when I stamped the sentiment at the very end it totally smeared. After growling for a bit I decided to stamp it on some of the solid paper and just cut around the words. Loved how it turned out!
