GDT Baby Card

The new challenge over at Card Mania for these two weeks is baby. How simple :)

 

How cute is this card? I just love how it came out. I used a previous sponsor, Sassy Studios image. Maxi Skirt Momma is colored with Copics. I used my Spellbinders to cut her out and inked the edge. I used Jaded Blossoms Simple Sayings stamps on the front and for the congrats. The smaller sentiment inside is a Pink by Design stamp.

I always add a little color to the inside of my cards. I think it just makes them that much more special.

Head on over to Card Mania and play along with the challenge.

Inky New Release

Inky Impressions new release time. Here is one of the new ones. This one is so much fun and perfect for space themed birthday cards.

 Astronaut Lili is just so stinking cute. I colored her with Copics and inked the edges.

 Of course no space card is complete without aliens! I print the sentiment using word. I used my spellbinders to cut it out and inked the edges. The inside is stamped with a Stampin Up sentiment ans there are some more aliens!

Teal Birthday Card

I am happy to say that I will be guest designing with Card Mania for the entire summer. This week's challenge is flowers. How simple is that!? I used flower paper, embellishments and a stamp. Over achiever I know :)

This is actually two stamps. The background stamp and then a birthday sentiment. I was unsure how they would look together but liked the result. The sentiment is Fiskar and the background I believe is too but I am not sure.

The inside is a Stampendous birthday set sentiment.

Summer Scripture Cards

I wanted to try something new and saw some what looked like painted card fronts on Pinterest so I thought I would give it a shot.

I used Inspired Stamps scripture stamp John 14:6 on both these cards. I used some tempera paint and a sponge brush. I just randomly brushed summer inspired colors on the top card. I then took a small paint brush and flicked some color spots on the top. I did have to add a few drops of water to thin the blue out to flick.

This card I just got silly and painted a sun and some waves. Nothing says summer like swimming. This is one of my favorite scriptures.
These cards will be heading to Operation Write Home.

OWH Blog Hop

I love to donate cards to OWH. I get to make cards that will touch someone's heart and have fun crafting.

I used Inspired Stamps on this card. I know how important God is to the people in the military so I love to send in scripture cards. It is also another way to share my faith with people which is always a plus.

I used Bazzill card stock that I embossed with stars and stripes. I used Hymn Girl January. I added a little color with my Copics. The scripture stamp Ephesians 6:10 I inked the edge with blue and red.

Thank you to all the military families out there. I can not imagine my family member being gone and worrying about their safety all the time. I hope that getting cards from them helps to give you some peace of mind. I appreciate all of you!

One of my favorite people graduated Friday with her Engineering and English Bachelors. I am incredibly proud of her. She has had some challenges in her life and persevered. This is the card I made for her.

I used her school colors and a bit of DP paper. This image reminds me of my friend. Audrey the graduate is a The Stamping Boutique digi. I colored her with Copics. I left her hair alone because it reminded me of my friends hair.

Inky Father's Day

Inky Impressions new release time. This one is for the boys! I know I always need more male images for cards. There are three new ones this month.

 Making manly cards is always a challenge for me. I like bright and blingy but men don't. I kept it simple with this one. I embossed the kraft paper with some lines. The sentiment is a Hero Arts stamp.

This image is called Father and son fun. I colored it with Copics and inked the edges. I added some metal embellishments to give the card a little something without making it girly.

Head on over to Inky Impressions and check out the others.
