Weekend Quick Cards – Jun 26th

 

Hello everyone~

It’s almost Sunday here and I hope you are having a wonderful weekend :) I made 3 quick cards for the weekend with combining some CAS challenges. I hope you will like them :)

 

 

 

This card was created for CAS-tastic Wednesday Challenge 9 (CWC009) – create a CAS card using a BLUE, YELLOW and NEUTRAL. I knew this cute image from Unity Stamps March Kit of Month would work wonderfully for the color combo! I paper pieced the umbrella and colored the rest of the image with Copic markers.

 

Stamps: lady with umbrella, cloud sentiment - KOM set (Unity Stamp Co.) 
Paper: classic ivory (Flourishes), tempting turquoise (SU), designer paper (KI Memories) 
Ink: Memento tuxedo black (Tsukineko) Copic markers 
Accessories: ribbon

 

 

 

 

The next card was used the sketch from SCS Clean & Simple challenge (CAS72). I was kind of inspired the color from the card too….so, I should claim it “casing” ;)

Again, I used the same Kit of Month from Unity Stamps and colored the gumball machine with Copic markers. The lid was stamped with riding hood red ink and adhered on the image. I used some scraps designer papers from my left over stash. The inside of the card, I stamped the sentiment that coordinated with the one on the card front. I love the cute sentiment :)

 

Stamps: gumball machine, sentiments - KOM set (Unity Stamp Co.) 
Paper: classic white (Flourishes), designer paper (WRMK)
Ink: Memento tuxedo black (Tsukineko), riding hood red (SU), Copic markers 
Accessories: rhinestones

 

 

 

 

OK, this is the last one…for this card, I used the sketch from Clean & Simple Stamping (FTL96). The fern images from Verve Stamps were simply & randomly stamped on the white cardstock with rich razzleberry ink and sponged the edge with always artichoke ink. I embellished with scalloped edge ribbon and pearls to complete the card.

 

Stamps: Forever in Our Hearts (Verve Stamps), Beyond the Basics (SU) 
Paper: classic white (Flourishes), rich razzleberry (SU), kraft (PTI)
Ink: rich razzleberry, always artichoke (SU)
Accessories: ribbon, pearls

 

 

Well…that’s it for today from me. Thank you for stopping by.

Enjoy the rest of your weekend!

Weekend Quick Cards – Jun 19th

 

Hello everyone~

I made a couple quick cards for the weekend…this Weekend Quickie thingy is becoming my new stamping routine. I hope you like it…and thank you for taking your time to look at my work :)

 

The card above is submitted to Susan’s One-Layer Wednesday challenge (OLW9) – Use Flourish and SCS CAS challenge 71 (CAS71) – Things That Fly. All stamps were used from Unity Stamp Co. and the butterfly was colored with Copic markers. The blue background was just sponged inside of the rectangle that was masked with Post-It.

Paper: classic ivory (Flourishes)
Ink: Memento tuxedo black, paris dusk, summer sky (Tsukineko) Copic markers

The next card is just perfect for Dad who loves to ride :):)

I used the sketch from Clean & Simple Stamping (FTL95) and also combined with CAS-tastic Wednesday challenge 8 (CWC008). The motorcycle from SU was colored with Copic markers. I matched the Harley-Davidson designer paper and embellishment. They were actually hand picked by my hubby when he went to Hobby Lobby a while ago :)  I think the sentiment “thank you DAD for being you” from Unity Stamp Co. is wonderful for the image, don’t you think?

Weekend Quick Card – Jun 12th

 

Hello everyone,

I hope your weekend is wonderful so far…I went to my husband’s family reunion today and had a wonderful visit. It’s great to catch up the family members at least once a year…I wish my family could do with my family once a year like that…I just need time and money at the same time, lol.

 

Anyway, my weekend was little busy so I decided to try some challenges with quickie cards :)

The first card (on top) is used the color combo from The Color Throwdown (CTD96) and combined with CAS-tastic Wednesday Challenge 7 (CWC007) – Create a CAS card using button.

The stamps are Kit of the Month from Unity Stamp Company (don’t know which month…but it’s one of my favorite KOM sets!) and I colored the flowers with Copic markers. I simply attached the yellow & blue small buttons.

 

Stamps: KOM set (Unity Stamp Co. 
Paper: classic white (Flourishes), cool caribbean, pumpkin pie (SU)
Ink: Memento tuxedo black (Tsukineko) Copic markers 
Accessories: buttons 
Tools: label 1 Nestablities, border punch, Scor-Pal 

 

 

 

 

The next card was used the sketch from Clean & Simple Stamping (FTL93) and the color combination from Curtain Call Color Challenge (ACT33) . The both challenges were last week’s challenge and I’m a kind of catching up, lol.

The stamps are from all Stampin’ Up! I used the corner punches for the blue mat and the border punch for the sentiment strip. To complete the card, I embellished with pearls.

 

Stamps: Watercolor Trio, Kindred Sprit (SU) 
Paper: classic white (Flourishes), bashful blue, certainly celery (SU)
Ink: bashful blue, certainly celery, night of navy (SU)

CC273 & CWC006

 

Hello everyone~

It’s almost Friday here…this week went so fast!! I made a card with two challenges combined today.

The color combo was used from SCS Color Combination challenge 273 (CC273). I also discovered CAS-tastic Wednesday challenge from my favorite bloggers (you know who you are…and thanks) and decided to join this week’s challenge (CWC006) – Create a CAS card with the sentiment as the main focus.

 

The sentiment is from Flourishes Around the Arbor. I simply stamped on the label 9 Nestabilities mat and embellished with pearls and scallop circle flower embellishment – I just punched 5 scallop circles, distressed them and put together with a brad. I think the gorgeous Webster Pages designer paper did the rest of the work ;)

 

 

 

Stamps: Around the Arbor (Flourishes)
Paper: close to cocoa, garden green, barely banana, retired DP (SU), Life’s Portrait DP (Webster Pages)
Ink: close to cocoa (SU) 
Accessories: pearls, button, Prima leaves,  
Tools: Label 9 Nestabilities, border punch

 

 

Thank you for stopping by.
