SSSC58 - Fox & Friends

It's time for another Sweet Sunday Sketch!  My post today is late in going up because most of my family has been fighting off colds and coughs and today I think I might have lost the battle to stay well myself.  Needless to say I will be staying in and drinking lots of hot tea and juice today.

The card and project for Karen's sketch uses the Occasions Mini Catalog stamp set Fox & Friends along with the new Bigz L Milk Carton Die.  The heads of the animals were stamped twice, cut and pop dotted to give them some fun dimension.

Supplies: Fox & Friends, Bigz L Milk Carton Die, Teeny Tiny Wishes, Welcome Neighbor DSP, Sweet Pea DSP, Word Window punch, Pinking Hearts border punch, Buttons, Ribbon, Square punches, Pop dots.  Colors: Chocolate Chip, So Saffron, Really Rust.

Spring Potted Pansies

Hello, today I have another project that we made at my Stamp Camp last week.  I had so much fun creating my Valentine Sweetheart Potted Flower card here that I decided I wanted to have the ladies from Stamp Camp create one that was springy.  I wanted the flowers to look like pansies so I went with the two shades of purple with the yellow centers for the flowers and used Really Rust for the pot to give it a clay pot look.  I gave each lady that came to Camp the option to make her card for what ever occasion she wanted by using the Teeny Tiny Wishes stamp set (love this set) for the tag on the front of the card.

Supplies: With All My Heart, Extra Large Fancy Flower punch, Sweetheart (for the leaves), Well Scripted, Trio Flower punch, Scallop border punch, Ribbon, Modern Label punch, Word Window punch, Piercer, Pop dot.  Colors: Elegant Eggplant, Lovely Lilac, Old Olive, Summer Sun, Really Rust.

Thank you for your visit!

SSSC57 - Sympathy

Good morning!  Today is Sunday which means Karen has another great sketch to share for the Sweet Sunday Sketch Challenge!  After first looking at this sketch I was a little skeptical with all of the horizontal strips behind the main circle but after I got going I really ended up liking how the strips of designer paper seemed almost quilt like.  For my card I used the stamp set For All You Do which I haven't used in a long time, I guess because when it first came out I stamped with it so much that I got burnt out of this combination of stamps and paper.

Supplies: For All You Do, Brighter Tomorrow, Cottage Wall DSP, Nesties, Ribbon, Pearls, Scallop Trim border punch, Piercer, White pen, Pop dots.  Colors: Rich Razzleberry, Old Olive, Pale Plum.

Birthday Butterflies

The card that I have for today is one that I used for my stamp camp yesterday, the initial idea for this card was from Melissa Huie's beautiful card which you can see here.  Instead of using the stamp set Flight of the Butterfly like Melissa did I wanted to showcase a card using the new Beautiful Wings Embosslit Die which is currently in the Occasions Mini Catalog. 

Supplies: Well Scripted, Inspired by Nature, Flight of the Butterfly(for the small flower), Beautiful Wings Embosslit Die, Beautiful Butterflies Sizzix Die, Ribbon, Scallop Trim border punch, Linen Thread.  Colors: Soft Suede, Kraft, Melon Mambo, Pumpkin Pie, Garden Green, Certainly Celery.
