CAS Colours & Sketches Challenge #132

I have three friends who will have surgery in the next week and this is the last of three cards I am making. . The chick from this PS stamp set is cheerful so I decided it would be cute on a get well card. First I stamped the round image with three different colors and then I stamped and heat embossed the chick three times. Next I chose a piece of decorator card stock (double sided) and cut some pieces for the top and bottom of the card. For the sentiment I chose a smaller circle stamp, and heat embossed and cut with a punch. 

Stamps - Paper Smooches "My Peeps" and "Chit Chat"

Simon Says "Favorite Flowers"

Ink - VersaFine, SU!, SU! Strawberry Slush, Coastal Cabana, Pistachio Pudding

Sorry for the glare on the embossed portion of the card.

CASology and Happy Little Stampers

Today I am submitting two cards for two different challenges. This card is for CASology with the cue word of repeat and this is the second card I am submitting for this challenge. Wednesday is our 48th wedding anniversary and typically we do nothing other than go out to eat (which we do numerous times in the course of a week). This will be special as we are taking the train from Carlsbad CA to San Diego about an hours trip. Once there we will go to a well known sea food restaurant for lunch and then a little trip to Blick's Art Supply. For the four years we have lived here I have wanted to take the train to SD but the mister was not interested, so I am happy. This card will be my anniversary card to my mister, not beautiful or romantic but the sentiment is sincere.

Paper - Neenah

Ink - Memento and Copics

Stamp - Unity "Smiley Hearts"

Other - Wink of Stella, Bakers Twine

This is my second card for today and this is for Happy Little Stampers and the theme of "Stamping."

For this card I stamped one image three times with three different colors of ink, a stroke or two of Wink of Stella and then stamped the hummingbird and heat embossed. The sentiment was also stamped and heat embossed. I mounted this design piece  onto a mat, then mounted it onto white card stock and lastly a touch of bling.

CASology: Week 154 REPEAT

There are times when we are in need of specific cards for instance baby, sympathy or masculine. I found this week a need for get well cards for three of my card making ladies, one has had to have surgery on her jaw, another will have back surgery and the third her second knee replacement. So this week I will replenish my get well cards and this is the first one on my list. This is a NBUS stamp from Paper Smooches. I used three of my favorite SU! colors Pumpkin Pie, Old Olive and Taken With Teal and stamped three times (repeat) and then added the sentiment from Stamplorations in black ink. I matted this piece with PP (probably my favorite SU! color, but not in real life), and then attached to the card base. A touch of bling for the finishing touch - just like putting on lipstick.

Stamps - Paper Smooches "Cyber Cafe," Stamplorations "Eat.Drink.Be Merry."

Ink - SU! Pumpkin Pie, Old Olive, Taken with Teal, Memento

Paper - Michael's white card stock, SU! PP

Other - Michael's bling, mounting tape

Merry Monday Christmas Challenge #166 Penquin

My first card of the year for Merry Monday Christmas challenge. I selected this cute skating penquin with a matching sentiment. I stamped on Neenah paper and colored with copics and around the skating/movement marks I sponged some blue ink. Different accent supplies were used Wink of Stella, Glossy Accents, Pearl Pen and a Gelly Roll pen.  I used two pieces of colored snippets and stamped a piece of white card stock for the fish tail. I mounted the image and added some clear crystal.

Happy Little Stampers July Sketch Challenge

In preparing for a craft garage sale I threw this stamp in my bag and then thought "wait, I can use it for HLS sketch challenge" and then I will sell it. I stamped the tree and then heat embossed and colored with SU! pens and for the sky I rubbed SU! bashful blue on my craft mat and then lightly tapped the ink around the tree. The image was matted with SU! gumball green and mounted onto the base card. Lastly I stamped the image which I think suited the child-like tree.

  Stamps - Stampendous "Tree Swing," Purple Onion sentiment

Paper - SU! whisper white, gumball green

Ink - VersaFine, SU! markers and ink pad

Addicted to CAS: PATRIOTIC

Oh I love this bear stamp which I have had for at least three years and I found it in a "lovingly used" bin at the stamp store. I heat embossed the bear and colored with copics and mounted on a piece of glittery gold card stock. These pieces were mounted onto the white card base. I added gold stickels and some crystal bling. The sentiment is inside the card and reads, "Happy 4th of July!"

Seize the Birthday: Red, White and Blue

For this challenge for  Seize the Birthday I chose an old SU! set. My husband questioned the blue hummingbird but I found it on google, the flowers are similar to what we have in our yard. I stamped on watercolor paper and used distress inks and an aqua brush, The light sky is a stampinwriter and an aqua brush. I matted the image and then attached with mounting tape  onto the embossed cardstock and attached to the blue card stock. The sentiment was stamped with VersaMark and heat embossed.
