Congratulations Teresa!

Today's Featured Stamper on SCS is none other than my dear friend Teresa. The card I CASED was done in pink, so did mine in blue and used the other snowman image from SNSS Snow Friends designed by Korin Sutherland. I chose SU Night of Navy for the base, layering with Bashful Blue and dsp. I heat embossed the image in silver, colored the hat in Bashful Blue and used Dazzling Diamond glitter for snow. This didn't show up on my scanning as it does in real life. I found this ribbon from Oriental Trading in my stash deciding to use it because of it's shimmering qualities. The sentiment is stamped in Silver Encore ink which also was used to edge the Navy scallop layer. I used the CB Swirl folder to emboss the white panel.
Teresa, this has been your day, I hope you have enjoyed it!

Red, White & Blue Super Hero!

This week's SweetStopSketch challenge is to make a card with the sketch and also the added twist of using red, white and blue. I used SNSS set Super Hero to make a birthday card. My card stock is Night of Navy, Whisper White and Real Red patterned paper all SU as well as the ink and markers in Brilliant Blue and Real Red. I added white gel pen accent dots.

Home Sweet Home Father's Day

The current Belli Challenge combines the Sweet Stop Sketch #7 and a Father's Day card. I decided to use the house from SNSS "Home Sweet Home" set. The house is colored with SU Watercolor Pencils and mounted on Naturals cs which also form the base. The accent paper is from the SU "To the Nines Specialty" collection and Kraft patterned paper. The 'Family' brad is from Oriental Trading, brown ribbon: JoAnn's(gift), printed twill tape: Michael's and Happy Father's Day stamp: SNSS "Cool Dude". I wanted to go with a different look on this card since my husband really likes being at home. This card also meets the challenge at Paper Blooms to make a Father's Day card for a man of influence in your life.

A Very Pink Birthday!

This week's color challenge on SCS is to use Riding Hood Red, Pink Pirouette, and Chocolate chip. I had started two cards using the pink and red a month or so ago and only completed one, so I already had the basis for this challenge. The base cs is white with the top layer scalloped and the bottom edged in some of the Bella Rose dsp. The top layer is textured Pink Pirouette stamped with Rose Red Craft ink and clear embossed using the Pretty Petals background stamp. The sentiment and inside are printed with words from SNS Birthday Wishes. I trimmed the card with Chocolate Chip ribbon, a fleurette flower in R.H. Red, Pink Piro. and white with a pink rhrinestone brad ceter. I really like the SNS Birthday Wished set because you are able to use the words to create whatever wishes you care to convey both inside and on the front. I find I turn to this set more and more.

March Birthday Wishes

Made for SNS Monday DT challenge for this week with a theme of Pastels. I chose these shades because they are my dear friend's favorite.

Paper is SU Almost Amethyst, Whisper white, watercolor paper and unknown dsp. Ink is Almost Amethyst, Lovely Lilac and Mellow Moss with Stickles accenting. White organza ribbon, Martha Stewart lace edge punch, SU oval and Marvy scallop oval punches were also used.
