Twiggy

Today is catch-up day on challenges!  This is my third and last post for the day...LOL!  Sentimental Sundays' Challenge was to use Kraft paper.  I've been working on my Christmas cards and also trying to keep them CAS and "thinner" to save on postage this year. 

My card base is Kraft cardstock.  I stamped the wreath and sentiment, colored the twigs with Copics, added red glitter berries sealed with Glossy Accents, and finished the twigs with some Icicle Stickles.  Thanks so much for stopping by ~ have a great weekend!

 

Supplies

Cardstock:  Bazzill Kraft

Stamp(s):  Impression Obsession "Twiggy Vine Wreath" & "Merry Christmas"

Ink:  VersaFine Vintage Sepia

Other:  Copics, Glossy Accents, Stickles

Bundle of Joy

Sentimental Sundays Challenge #220 is to use monochromatic colors.  I needed a new baby card, so I stuck with the monochromatic theme and used the adorable "Quirky Stork" image from Doodle Pantry.  I distressed the edges with Distress Ink (Evergreen Bough) for a little definition.  All the dies used are from My Favorite Things.  The twine is from The Twinery.  Thanks for stopping by!!

Snow Much Fun

Sunday brought a new sketch from Operation Write Home and Sentimental Sundays' Challenge is "Christmas in July".   My favorite cards to make!

For my Christmas card, I used a free download from Doodle Pantry called "Snowman Cheer."  You can grab one for yourself by clicking HERE:-)  I just love his gingham vest!!  It's close to 90 degrees here today so this card helped chill me out!  Thanks for stopping by and have a great week!

I Woof You

Hope everyone had a fabulous Father's Day!  I was happy to spend the day with my 92 year-old Dad and we had a great time.  The OWH Sketch Challenge #229 posted yesterday had me seeing spots in front of my eyes at first!

Sketch #229

I decided to use those cute digital puppies over at Doodle Pantry called "Puppy Presents" so I could enter the card over at Sentimental Sundays Challenge #211 where the theme is "Animals."  Each puppy is bringing a special present to someone special.  I just need to rescue one more dog and I could have used my own pics!  LOL!  Thanks for stopping by and I hope you have a great week!

Supplies:  Bazzill Brown Cardstock, Neenah Solar White Cardstock, MFT Kraft Cardstock (base), scrap DP, Doodle Pantry "Puppy Presents" Images & Sentiment, Fiskars Circle Punches, Hero Arts Metallic Décor (gold).

Stay the Course

Sentimental Sundays' Challenge #210 this week is ANY-Thing Goes.  I used the new June release from Doodle Pantry called "Smooth Sailing."  The set includes a great sailboat, DP, and sentiments.  I used some map paper from my stash, created a compass border from the image set, added the 'Stay the Course' sentiment and distressed with Ranger Tea Dye ink.  The wrapped twine is from May Arts and the gold dots were created with a Pearl Pen.

  
I really like this set and have used it for a couple of Father's Day cards too!  Thanks so much for stopping by and you may want to check out the Doodle Pantry Digital Challenge #47 going on right now (until June 24th).  The theme is "Make it Manly" and you can use any company's image.

Enjoy the week and Happy Sailing!

Things with Wings - Sentimental Sundays

Happy Sunday!  It's May 25th and Doodle Pantry is sponsoring the latest challenge over at Sentimental Sundays, Things with Wings!

My card for this challenge uses the adorable set called "Tweet House" which is currently a FREE download from Doodle Pantry.  Yep, FREE!  I printed the image a couple of times so I could fussy cut out a couple of extra "tweeters."  The background DP is also from Doodle Pantry, included in the "Jargon Mixes" set.  Doodle Pantry is having a fantastic sale this Memorial Weekend (24th - 26th).  Click here for the details and the special discount code!
