Sketch #368 Best Birds, New Wonders,Stampin Up, Thank you

I made this card for my daughter who requested a thank you note for a friend.  I love making cards for the kids.  I feel it's such an honor when they ask me to do that.   So I am "thankful"  to play along with the sketch challenge at:

Atlantic Hearts Sketch Challenge

The stamp sets featured in this card today are:

Stampin Up:   Best Birds

Stampin Up:  New Wonders

I debated with myself about using the polka dot ribbon, or some burlap ribbon.  As you can see I choose the pink, and then decided to color the bird pink too.  I stamped a few bows, and each one was so big, so I finally just stuck with the flower,  

I am so excited because I sold a few more items in my etsy shop.  And I actually might have a customer for my stampin up store.  That is marvelous.  I am just a hobby stamper, and not a sales lady, but I tell ya this is one happy gal to think it could help me with purchasing a few of my stamps.  What a blessing that would be.   

I also wanted to share a link to my last card because I posted a couple pictures of my daughter's nails.  She is an amazing nail artist.   If that's something you enjoy you might want to check out her nails here  The nail polish names make me smile:  Strobe light, and watermelon felon.  She paints her real nails with precision design and creativity.  They are beautiful.

FUSION - Thank You~ Daisy Delight, Timeless Tulips, Stampin Up, Thank you

My daughter and son in law have lovely tulips in their yard.  This is one flower I've not ever had much luck with in our yard.   However, This spring they gave me one of theirs and I have it now planted.  In great hopes that it will be happy and come back every year.   I made this card for them, as a thank you note.  For the flower and for the Mother's day gifts.  The kiddos are such a blessing to me.    My daughter is a nail artist, that is not her profession, just her hobby.  She just painted the most darling tulips on her nails in such a lovely color, So I tried to make my card like her nails.   Here are a couple pictures of her beautiful nails 💗

I will submit this card to the challenge at:

Fusion

I flipped the sketch upright, for the circle I used the tulip.   It was the perfect time for a thank you note.  So I'm happy to have come across this challenge to play along with.

Week 367: MAGICAL New Wonders Stampin Up. Book reading Fun

 What a delightful challenge to play along with at:

CASology

To me books are magical.  They just transport you to a different place and time.  I've just recently discovered  I love historical fiction books.  Last summer it was all about Hamilton, and Jefferson.  This past month I just finished another grand book that was based on a book of the Bible.  The title is Redeeming Love.   Just wonderful.  I highly recommend it. 🕮

The stamp set featured in today's card is

Stampin Up:  New Wonders.  

I love how the little fairy is turning the page to discover new and wonderful things in her book.

Sketch #367 Painted Poppies, Label Me Bold, Stampin Up Happy Birthday

I made this card for the challenge at:

 Atlantic Hearts Sketch Challenge

I really wanted to play with my new stamp set.  Quite frankly I didn't really like this stamp set at first.  However poppies, once again made me think of the Wizard of Oz.   Yes I do love that old movie. My phone cover is actually Emerald city and the yellow brick road.   Well I love most old movies in the 30-40's 

I used DSP for the outside panels, and then I embossed the white card stock and sponged over it to match the DSP and poppy.     The circle is die cut out of white which I sponged again, and then black card stock to give it some shadow.   I didn't think I was going to be able to make this challenge work.  It was a difficult one for me.  Usually the way my ole brain works is that when I see a sketch, it immediately gives me an idea or at least sets something into motion, this card I had to wing it as I went.  Hoping for the best.

HSSSC338~Happy Graduation

Well I went all crazy with this Graduation card.   I tried to stick to the sketch.  Hopefully you will be able to see it in there among the images I stamped.  

I will submit this card to the challenge at:

Hand Stamped Sentiments

With Graduations approaching  so fast, I thought I better have a few of these cards in my Etsy shop.   Especially since I'm running a sale right now.  

I think my favorite parts of this card are the fact I stamped Graduate on the check out card, and on the inside I stamped the little cap on top of the zero.
