Simple. Awesome.

Hello my lovely readers. I am so happy to be back on the craft room and be able to share some fun cards with you.

Today I have worked on a more fresh looking card, as our weather remains rather friendly and wonderful for December. The sketch is from the SSSC 298, which I worked on using the Flower Patch stamp set and its framelits for all the images and sentiment. Now, notice that the largest flower I simply stamped on the Very Vanilla layers, but the other flowers I cut to give dimension. The leaves were also stamped on the layer and to get them to be "behind" the flower, I just cut the flower form a scrap piece of paper and cover the stamped flower. Then I stamped it. I love to do that as I want to give the idea of layers. Simple, effective, and awesome.

Thank you so much for visiting today. I look forward to seeing you again tomorrow. Be well

Miriam

Which month?

I am in a bliss with our current weather. The days are beautiful and even warm, at a very comfortable 70F. I saw children wearing shorts and t-shirt today, and I think we are in September or so. It is wonderful.

Considering the temperatures, the birds are still chirping around, the plants are nice and green, the windows are open, and I still have some produce in my garden. I went to make this card for the SSSC 293 and the only set that came to mind had a bird in it... imagine why. I want a bit of interest in the back and after looking at my stash, the Typeset dsp was declared the winner. While the sentiment may look a bit on the shy side for a masculine card, I think this card can go for a guy who is not afraid of showing a bit of sensibility.

We shall continue

The birthday cards season that is. I am on a frenzy and I made several cards, which will not be showcased all in my blog, but I may upload the pictures  my gallery.

For today's card I used the SSSC 289 as a base sketch and pulled out all retired materials for the card. The paper is the ever so lovely Modern Medley DSP, the sentiment is from Perfectly Penned and I even add a bit of trim in Pistachio Pudding, a very lovely color, I must say. I cut both parts in angles, but I did not want the music part to be angled, so I made it straight, and then the center and top pieces angled up. I like to have the sentiment centered in the card, and when the sentiment is of a good size, it makes all better. A clear and happy message indeed.

Thank you for visiting today and please do come back again. Be well

This for you.

well, this week was not set for a good start, but it will all get much better as it goes by. It must be the first day of Autumn that threw me a curve ball. I sure need a reason to toast.

How about if I just celebrate the Autumn with a masculine card? Well then, here it is for you all. I pulled out an assortment of retired product to include: Mosaic Madness stamp set, Starburst Framelit, Argyle TIEF, the DSP paper and the sentiment are also retired. The sketch from the SSSC 287 is perfect for the Starburst framelit and that was my initial inspiration. Now, let's pull out some of our retired, combine with some new product and make some beautiful cards.

Thank you for your visit today. My doors are always open and I welcome all of you to come, see, share, enjoy, and be happy. Be well

Simply the best.

The labor day weekend had the perfect summer weather for all of us to enjoy. It was nice and hot and we all enjoy some time at the pool and soaking in all that wonderful heat and humidity. Honestly, as hot as it was, it felt so good to feel that hot. It has been a long time since I felt hot. This week may change all that, but the long weekend was indeed simply the best.

Back to our normal routine and still adapting to the virtual school, I am finding time to play a bit on my craft area. I know it will be a while before we have a nice routine settled, but we are working on it. I prepared a card for the Sweet Sunday Sketch challenge 285 and made it to honor all of you that are never afraid to show your very best. I used two dsp on this card: Pretty Petals and Farmers Market. The image is from the Bountiful Border which I hand cut to add a bit of dimension to the card. A touch of Calypso Coral chevron ribbon and this card is ready for the best!

Thank you for your visit. I enjoy it every bit and hope you did too.

Cheers!

This was a rather busy weekend for me. I have several things coming up next weekend and I needed to get ready as the week is gearing up to be a busy one too. I prepared over 100 cards for next weekend, some note pad covers, and did a good cleaning in  my craft area.

I feel so energized when I am productive. It pays off to plan and be on top of my game. Anyway, I did prepare a card based on the SSSC 280 using the Timeless Elegance DSP, the Filigree Frame TIEF, a touch of ribbon, and couple hearts. A very simple card for an anniversary or wedding event, that is sure to please bride & groom.

Thank you for visiting and please do come back again. Be well

He deserves it.

I like making masculine cards, but most of the time find myself not making them. I know, I know, it is weird., but that does not mean that I do not make them. I do and today that's precisely what I did.

I like to have some festive looks to the card, rather than somber and too serious. I know several men that would enjoy such a card. I used the SSSC 279 as a start point and paired that up nicely with the Bohemian DSP, the Sassy Salutations stamp set, which I cut using the Apothecary Accents framelits. A touch of Chevron Ribbon completed the looks. Will you not agree that he deserves it? A nice card is sure to bring a warm smile to his face.

Thank you for visiting today. Come back again soon. Be well

Blossoms for you!

The nice warm weather has taken a leave on us, but I sure hope to see it back soon. No warm days means more time in my craft room.

I have worked on some commissioned work but had time to prepare today's card for the Sweet Sunday Sketch Challenge 275. The new Birthday Blossoms stamp set was put to work here along with the Lovely Lace TIEF. I picked up some paper from my stash and the card was born, but not before I did a bit of fussy cutting for the sentiment. I love the simplicity of this card.

It is summer!

Did you do anything special for the summer solstice? As much as I would loved to have done something special, the weekend was too busy to do more. Besides Father's day, my husband and I celebrated out 18th anniversary and on Saturday I was at the Farmer's Market. The weather was extremely beautiful, so we all spent most of the day outdoors. I did not even go anywhere near my craft room.

But I could no longer resist the call coming from my craft room and went there, saw the Sweet Sunday Sketch Challenge 274 and immediately made this card. Very simple but with such a special touch of summer and warmth. The DSP is from the now retired Gold Soiree and the Butterfly Basics stamp set was used for both the flower and the butterfly. I used the blender pen to color the flower and note that I placed a punched Garden Green butterfly behind each of the stamped ones to give a bit of depth. A touch of ribbon and a marvelous bow using My Bow Maker and this card was completed.

Thank you for your visit today. Be well.

Amore.

I told you I was on a roll with Love themed card. Today is yet again another one that I can see been given to a Bride on her shower or even wedding day.

Do you agree? I love the sketch from the SSSC 272 and I will make other cards using the same sketch. Few variations of course. Making cards is like cooking for me. Lots of variations each time, except when baking. This card takes the sentiment from Seasonally Scattered and it was heat embossed in Silver. The paper is from the Modern Medley DSP long retired, but much loved, no pun intended. The hearts replace the banner from the original sketch as I thought it more suitable. As for the ribbon, is a Pink Pirouette, that I still have a good amount of it. Got love those retired products that always deliver!

Grateful

With a busy weekend, and it appears that lots of students had a busy weekend too with graduation, I can say that I am grateful for times like there. The feeling of accomplishment is a tremendous pay off.

I found some time on Sunday to play in my craft room and get some cards made. My husband took the children for a bit of nature time and I had the house all to myself. The silence, sometimes is a precious thing. I then looked up challenges for today, did a bit of perusing in the internet, and got busy with the Sweet Sunday Sketch Challenge 269 for this cards. I am working on clearing up space for the new catalog products and DSP are just something that I must move. Today's choice is the Confetti Celebration along with the Let your Hair Down stamp set. The Labels Collection framelit cut the sentiment and a bit of retired trim to finish up this card. Loved it.

On a completely separate note, as a child I loved reading dictionaries. For the sake of learning words and its meaning. Today I saw one that I never encountered before: Haberdasher. Do you know the meaning of it? Of course I looked up, but if you have not, take a moment and do it. Have fun!

Sooth your soul.

How do we arrive at the wish to make a Sympathy card? Well, for me it is impossible not to feel some sympathy and sadness when any life is lost and particularly now with the earth quake in Nepal when so many lives were taken. I hope the survivors find peace and comfort during this difficult time.

Inspirations for today's card - layout and color that is - are from the Sweet Sunday Sketch Challenge 266 and the colors are from the Splitcoast Stampers Color challenge 528. Some of the materials used are soon going to retire and others are already retired. The Beautiful Wings Embosslits, Window Framelits Collection, Painted Petals, and Love & Sympathy stamp set are all going to retire as of June 2nd. If you like them, this may be your final chance to get them. The background paper is a retired DSP.
I hope you will find inspiration here today. Go ahead, get some of those retiring products and let the creative juices flow freely. Thanks for visiting today. Be well.

May Flowers? Well, make it April.

 

After Thursday's torrential rains, and a gloomy Friday, the skies opened up and we had am absolutely gorgeous weekend. Saturday was a beautiful sunny day, and Sunday was not to a disappointment either, just a bit more breeze.

And with the good weather yesterday, we were all able to enjoy a wonderful birthday party of a wonderful little girl. The weather was perfect, the children played and played outside, while the adults had the chance to chat, mingle, and enjoy the fresh air too. The card you see today I prepare for the birthday girl, using both The Paper Players challenge 240 and the Sweetest Sunday Sketch challenge 264.  I wanted a more modern sentiment, and the Birthday Bash was called to the job along with the Labels Collection framelits. She loved it, and so did we. Did you notice that speckled background? Well it is called Gorgeous Grunge and I truly love this set!

Happy Birthday Sailor!

Birthday celebrations continue and today let's make sure the men in our lives also get a well made card. They deserve it too.

A Traveler stamp set and a Typeset Specialty DSP that features nautical map should do for a sailor, don't you think? I love the sketch from Sweet Sunday Sketch Challenge 262, and with a simple combination, but striking results, any sailor or traveler in your life will be happy to set off in a new adventure and take you along for the ride.

The end is near.

The end of this crazy stuffiness that befell upon me. The weekend was not a fun one at all for me, but on Monday I felt better, Tuesday the head was still stuffed, but thanks to some hot drink - spiked hot drink - I am starting to feel better.

Well, I got better but the weather took a dive yet again. That's fine, as I want to spend some time crafting. I want to try white embossing on watercolor paper. I did that and used the image on the Sweet Sunday Sketch Challenge 260. I like the turn out and will be doing the technique again. I t is easier that it appears and the results are truly pleasant. I want the colors a bit more vibrant and darker, so I added more color after the first layer was dry. The possibilities are truly endless and I am sure everyone can have lots of fun with this watercolor technique. Please do try some. You will love it.

Dig that stash, yet again.

Wow, after a hard, busy, and long week, it ended in a big and high note. Literally. My daughter was in a violin workshop Friday and Saturday. We both were elated by the whole experience, despite her being with such a nasty cough.

Memories we created and will cherish them for a long time. The workshop and summer institutes are exhausting, but so enriching in many ways.  Today's card gives me the opportunity to solidify new memories and also revisit old ones. The beautiful sketch from the Sweet Sunday Sketch Challenge 257 and its simplicity makes for an easy ride. So, please take a moment to call back some memories and I hope each memory will bring a bright smile to your face.

Celebrate!

 

The birthdays keep on coming and I cannot get enough cards and the feeling of happiness. I love birthdays as this is the special day for each one of us. I do not believe that there is a day more important than the day of our birth. So, celebrate!

To keep, I have to work on few more birthday cards to keep my stash ready. Today's card has prepared based on two great challenges: The Paper Players challenge 231 and Sweet Sunday Sketch Challenge 255.  I did pull out some retired products that I just cannot part with. Modern Medley DSP was one of my favorite and I am so happy to use it. The Serene Silhouettes was perfect for the image and the sentiment from Label Something completed the looks. Now, let's cut that cake!

Celebrate, Butterflies.

Yes, I know, I have Spring in my mind and with days as beautiful as we have gotten lately, I can only think, hope, and call Spring to arrive soon!

This wish is clearly seen in my cards lately. I want to use flowers, colors, butterflies, birds, and all the other natural beauty Spring brings forth. While I patiently wait, I will lend a hand in bringing some beauty to my blog for you to enjoy and the  Sweet Sunday Sketch Challenge 254 gave me the sketch to work with. Of course I am totally drawn to the Butterfly Basics bundle and could not stop myself yet again. A bit of the Sweet Sadie Washi tape and this card was together in no time.
