Thank You card

I made this card for the "Tutti Frutti" challenge #25 at wee Memories. I don't have any fruit stamps so I had to take a little creative license here, ha ha. I stamped the background with the Hero Art "Friendship Definition" stamp and then stamped over that with my $1 tree stamp from Michaels. Since it was a fruit challenge, I used a pencil eraser inked in red to make my "apples" and then put a touch of Glossy Accents on them to shine them up. The birdie was misted with a mixture of perfect pearls and water.

Thanks to Prickley Pear for sponsoring this week's wee Memories challenge!

Supplies:

Stamps: Lawn Fawn's "Harolds ABCs" and "Bannerific" (birdie), HA "Friendship Definition", $1 tree stamp from M's

Inks: Stampin Up! in Real Red, Distress Vintage Photo and Antique Linen

Thanks for stopping by today. Have a GREAT day! -Kelly

Espresso My Thanks

Hello. Today's card is inspired by two challenges. The design is inspired by 2 Sketches 4 You challenge #62 and the colors are from Off the Wall Craftiness challenge #27.

Not sure I have ever attempted this much paper piecing for one card. The coffee mug was stamped five times to create the focal point. I added Glossy Accents to the coffee and steam.

Supplies:
Paper: SEI "Granny's Kitchen", glitter paper from Target; Stamps: Stampin Up's "Espresso Yourself"; Stampin Up Basic Brown ink and Distress Faded Jeans; Martha Stewart "Loops" Punch; Glossy Accents; Stampin Up ribbon

Thanks for looking. May something make you giggle today! -Kelly

Thanks

Hi Everyone. Today's card was prompted by Sketch #57 at Limelight Papercrafts. The challenge was to use the sketch as the design inspiration and LEAVES as the focal point. I stamped the leaves on cardstock. The orange and blue leaves were accented with Stickles and the red leaves were misted with a mixture of water and Perfect Pearls (hard to see in picture). I am so glad I picked up a new pair of scissors this week in time for this challenge. Those leaves can be tricky!

This card will be sent to one of our teen helpers at church. Each week my teaching partner and I have a teen help us in the age three class. Each teen works one Sunday a month. They are such a huge help to us and I want to be sure they know how much they are appreciated!

The Sketch:

Supplies:

Paper: MME "Academy" stack and cardstock

Stamp: Lawn Fawn "thanks" and Stampin Up! leaf

Inks: Ranger Distress Inks in Aged Mahogany and Vintage Photo, Memento black

Other: Jute string, MM brads, Stickles, Perfect Pearls, pop dots

Have a wonderful day! Thanks for looking! -Kelly

Clean and Simple

I am sharing a card I have made for the Off the Wall Craftiness Challenge sponsored by Plaid Crafts which features FOUR beautiful colors: yellow, blue-teal, pink and green. I am also submitting this card to the wee Memories challenge #24 this week which prompts us to use Clean and Simple design or tags and is generously sponsored by Simon Says Stamp.

This card literally took only a couple minutes to make. I embossed the front, added the ribbon and floss and adhered the flowers. VIOLA! A quick, but cute card for any occasion.

Supplies: cardstock from stash; flowers by Recollections; gems and brads; floss; AC ribbon; Cuttlebug

Thanks for stopping by today. May this day bring many smiles! -Kelly

Halloween Invite: Version #5

Ahhh, the last invite to share. Now I really need to pick a date and complete the details for the inside! Our church's trunk-or-treat is scheduled on the date I originally wanted.

This version is really different from the others. I hadn't ripped paper in a long time so I ripped it on the diagonal and inked it with Distress. The banner is held by those cute little MM crystal looking brads and the spider is hanging from the staples. I added the little bat on this one too. He's resting up for the party, tee hee. I considered putting some Stickles on him but I wanted the spider to be the focal point. Hmmmm... I may go back and Stickle him anyway.

Supplies:
Stamps: Lawn Fawn's "Bannerific", "Heebie Jeebies" and "Harold's ABCs"
Papers: MME "The Spider's Web" and cardstock
Inks: Memento black and Distress Spiced Marmalade
Cricut: Doodlecharms
Other: MM brads, Studio G flocking powder, stapler, floss, google eyes, pop dots

Thanks for stopping by today.

I hope you enjoyed this invitation as well as the others. I have so many yummy goodies for big hunt for the kids. Next, I need to organize a few games. One will be the "popcorn" game where all the kids hold on to a blanket and possibly a few relay races in costume.

They will also decorate a bat to take home too.

Back to "regular" cards next time! Have a great day! -Kelly

Halloween Invite: Version #4

Back again with the fourth version of my Halloween Party invitation. This one is similar to the last one, but here Mr. Spider is holding the party banner, I added Stickles to the polka dot paper and separated the papers with orange ribbon that I stamped with "boo!".

Supplies:

Paper: MME "The Spider's Web" and cardstock

Stamps: Lawn Fawn's "Bannerific", "Harold's ABCs" and "Heebie Jeebies"
Inks: Memento black, Stazon black and Distress Spiced Marmalade
Tools: Cricut "Doodlecharms" for Mr. Spider
Other: Studio G flocking powder, Stickles, google eyes, floss, pop dots

Thank you such much for stopping by!

Curious, this was my first time using flocking powder on a project.

Have you tried it? Like it? What kind of project did you use it on?

It was such a horrible mess, I am not sure I'll use it much, but my wheels are turning for Christmas..... advice with this stuff?

Have a great day! -Kelly
