FTTC173–For Father’s Day

 

Hello and happy Tuesday!!

It is time for another Timeless Tuesday Challenge from Flourishes (FTTC173)!! Heather is challenging us to create a Father’s Day card/project. Great way to whip the card for all of Fathers out there before this coming Sunday! Please visit Flourishes blog for more information about the challenge.

 

For my card, I used Father’s Day set. I die cut the classic white cardstock and yellow cardstock with Tailor-Made Classic Keyhole die set. Then I stamped the image with Memento london fog and the sentiment with Memento tuxedo black. I added the shadow with W03 Copic marker around the image and sponged with Memento desert sand with the blending tool. I die cut the neutral cardstock with the keyhole die and grey cardstock with SB label 11 for the layers. The card was designed with Basic Grey Little Black Dress designer paper and colored cardstock. To finish off, two tone braided cotton trim and natural linen ribbon (5/8”) with vintage twine were embellished.

FTTC142–Out of the Box!

 

Hello and happy Tuesday everyone~

I hope you had a great Halloween! I am sorry for hearing some of you could not do trick-or-treating last night due to the bad weather…I hope the weather will get better and back to normal … it is just too early to be winter!

I made this card for today’s Flourishes Timeless Tuesday Challenge (FTTC142). Beate is challenging us a *Out of the Box* challenge – Stamp your image and let it partially hang out its frame/shape. She has a great tutorial HERE over Splitcoaststampers if you need to know how. Please visit Flourishes Blog for more information about the challenge. Looking forward to seeing your creation!!

For my card, I used Zinnias. I followed the tutorial to create my out-of-the-box design. The image was colored with Copic markers. The card was designed with the cardstocks and the designer papers. To finish off, I added the lace trim and swirl rhinestones.

FTTC139–Christmas Ornaments

 

Happy Tuesday everyone~

It’s time for Flourishes Timeless Tuesday Challenge (FTTC139). We are also previewing the October release set, Holiday Sparkle! The challenge from Cindy is to use *ornament images/elements* for your creation. Please visit Flourishes Blog for more information about the challenge. Looking forward to seeing your creation!!

 

Here is my take :)

 

I enjoyed making this card so much…I am so ready for working holiday cards now…hope it will last until I make plenty enough for sending out!

I colored the image with Copic markers and added sparkles with glitter pens – It is hard to see the sparkles from the photo though :( The image mat was cut with Nestabilities  and the pines were stamped around the edge.  The card was designed with the cardstocks and designer papers. The red background was dry embossed and the designer paper were punched with border punch. The kraft circle mat was cut with Nestabilities. For the sentiment, the word “sparkle” was drawn with the red glitter pen and attached above the bow. To finish off, the ribbon, poinsettias and rhinestones were embellished.

This card has been submitted to CR84FN Color Challenge 40 (CR84FN40) and Sweet Stop Sketch 129 – revisiting SSS37 (SSS129).

FTTC137–Set the Table

 

Hello everyone~

Hope your place is cooler than my place…I don’t know where the cool fall days went but I’d love to see them come back!! At least I can feel the fall season with my creation ;)

It’s time for Flourishes Timeless Tuesday Challenge (FTTC137)! Tammy is challenging us to make something for *a holiday table setting*. Please visit Flourishes Blog for more information about the challenge. Looking forward to seeing your creation!!

 

To be honest, I had never made anything for a table setting before…not even a place card! I had some ideas and things I wanted to do for the challenge but those ideas are getting bigger in my head and they were getting overwhelming…So, I decided to get some inspirations from SCS Resources and I found a tutorial of triangle box. I thought it would be a cute box to put mints or chocolates in for each guest. Then I decided to make a matching place card and napkin ring.

 

I used a new stamp set, A Season of Thanks set for the place/tent card. The image was colored with Copic markers. The stamp from Country Charm Labels was used for the name plate (Kim is my daughter’s name). The inside of the card, I stamped the sentiment, “a note of Thanksgiving” so that I can leave *thank you* message for my guests :) I also used the retired stamp, Autumn Flourishes for the all projects.

This has been submitted to CR84FN Color Challenge 39 (CR84FN39).

KS Monday–Yee Haw!

 

 

Hello everyone~

It’s time for Kitchen Sink Monday!! First of all, my thoughts and prayers are people in TX, who has been fighting for the large wild fire since Sunday…mostly the fires are in the central TX but fires popped from here and there in northeast Texas where I live too. The winds from the hurricane are not helping at all :( God, please bring a lot of rain, not just winds!!

 

 

I made this cowboy boots card, using Friday Sketch Carte Challenge (FSCC35). I used the inspiration of the boots from My daughter’s new boots. The boots are from Multi Cowboy Boots and the words are from Multi Step Cowboy Hat.

The boots were stamped as following these steps: 3rd – SU pool party, 2nd – SU soft suede (1 x stamp off), 1st – SU crumb cake, 4th – SU turquoise blue, 5th – SU not quite navy.

The hemp twine was looped around the lacey circle mat and also used for the border accent. To finish off, the vintage rhinestone brads were attached on the card.

This card has been submitted to the CR84FN Color Challenge 37 (CR84FN37).

FTTC132- Focus on Sentiments

 

Hello and happy Tuesday everyone~

I am happy to tell you that my kids had a great first day of school yesterday! I went back to my taxi mom job again too :) As much as I love the lazy days of summer, I also love these busy school schedule too!

I made one card for Flourishes Timeless Tuesday Challenge (FTTC132) . Cindy is challenging us to use a sentiment(s) as a focal point of your creation! Please visit Flourishes Blog for more information about the challenge. Can’t wait to see your creation!

 

I decided to use Bee My Honey for today’s card. To try not to make the image for the focal point, I stamped it with VersaMark and heat embossed with white embossing powder. Then I lightly colored with Copic markers. The sentiment was stamped on the lacey circle panel and I sponged with ink. The sentiment panel was mounted on the yellow fancy tag panel. and embellished with linen ribbon. I hope the way I designed the card will bring your eyes to the sentiment more than the image :)

This card is also submitted to CR84FN Color Challenge 36 (CR84FN36) and Crazy 4 Challenges 101 (C4C101) - I did the row of Embossing, Die Cuts and Ribbon.

Hello everyone~

It’s Monday and also time for Kitchen Sink Monday! I made one card using the sketch from Friday Sketch Carte Challenge (FSCC31) and CR84FN Color Challenge 35 (CR84FN35).

 

As soon as I saw the color combo, I knew what I wanted to use for the image ;) I used Multi Step Lilacs, and Simple Sentiments for the saying. I kept clean to emphasize the softness of the lilac… I can say, “Less is More” for this one :)

I stamped the lilac was stamped as following these steps: 4th – Memento grape jelly, 3rd – Memento lilac posies, 2nd – Memento lulu lavender, 1st – lulu lavender (1 x stamp off). Then, I masked the lilac and stamped leaves & step with : 3rd – Memento bamboo leaves, 2nd – Memento new sprout, 1st – new sprout (1 x stamp off).
