Happy Birthday.....{Seize the Sketch #19}

Good Morning Everyone!

It is time for another Seize The Sketch Challenge.

Here is the new challenge sketch.....

hosted this week by Jessi!

And here is the birthday card I made based on the sketch!

Masculine cards are always hard to make~ especially kid ones so when I saw this adorable image from Bugaboo Stamps I knew it would work great with this sketch.

Using the image as my focal point, I printed it out 2 times, one to color as my main image and the other to use the balloons only to pop up for some added dimension.
After coloring him with my copics, I stamped the sentiment along the bottom and then die cut all my banner pieces.
Putting this card together was super easy and once the banners were in place, the image taped down, I popped up the balloons and added some stickles.

Supplies Used:
Paper~ Echo Park~A Boy's Life
Scraps~ white, yellow, red, green, blue
Stamps~ My Creative Time~ Springtime in Paris
Bugaboo Stamps~Kidz-Boy Balloon
Dies~ My Creative Time~Vintage Stitched Label Die
Embellishments~ copics, foam pop dots, stickles

So what do you think???

I hope you like my card and will play along with the new challenge!

It's The Plane Truth.....{Seize The Sketch #17} {Post #2}

Good Morning Everyone!

It is time for another Seize The Sketch Challenge.

Here is the new challenge sketch.....

Hosted this week by the very talented Jen

And here is the card I made based on the sketch!

I really like the CAS design of this card...and even better that it went together in a matter of minutes. It took me the longest to add my machine stitching to the papers...LOL!

Anyways, for my card I used designer papers from My Mind's Eye~Come Away with Me paper pack~ a newbie I picked up at Michael's not to long ago.

For the stitched square piece, I used the die from My Creative Time~4x4 Journal Dies + More and stamped the flight heart and sentiment using the Plane & Simple and Fun Paper Airplane Die. I die cut 2 paper airplanes and stacked one on top of another to give the piece some more dimension. 

I finished my card off with a simple sewing machine stitched border and a stitched line through the pattern paper, just to add some more to the center of my card.

So what do you think???

I hope you like my card and will play along with the new challenge!

And here is the card I made based on the sketch!

For my card I used the adorable Peachy Keen Stamp set~ Somebunny Special and paper pieced the bunny using designer paper from My Minds Eye~Blush paper pack. Following the sketch exactly, I used the Stitched Journal Die from My Creative Time for the mat of my sentiment and bunny and then added 2 banners using My Creative Time~Vintage Stitched Label Dies.  I added a bit of zig zag stitching to the top of the banner pieces as well, just for alittle something extra and colored in the bunny belly, tail and ears using my white gel pen. A bit of chalk to her sweet cheeks and some copic color to her nose and mouth and my card was completed.

I have not colored an image in such a long time and have forgotten how relaxing it is :)
I used the adorable Pinwheel Birgitta stamp from C.C. Designs and colored her with my copics.
Following the sketch, I pulled papers for my card from Fancy Pants~Memories Captured paper pack.
For the grass, I used the new My Creative Time~Stitched Grass Die....LOVE this die BTW and the sentiment comes from My Creative Time~Things I Love... stamp set. 
I stamped it on a die cut also from My Creative Time~ Chunky Jar Accessory Set .
A few enamel dots next to the sentiment and my card is complete.

Blessings for the New Baby......{Seize the Sketch #14}

Good Morning Everyone!

It is time for another Seize The Sketch Challenge.

Here is the new challenge sketch.....

Hosted this week by the very talented Amy

And here is the baby card I made based on the sketch!

For my card I used the adorable Peachy Keen Stamps~Over the Moon stamp set. I colored that CUTE cow using my copic markers and then cut the image out, placing it aside while I put the rest of my card together.
Since I LOVE my sewing machine so much, I added alot of stitching to my card. First to the card mat and the through the center mat where the white/pattern paper meets.
All the designer paper for my card is from DCWV~The Boyhood Stack and the Kraft, cream and white cardstock are all from my stash.
After all my pieces were sewn and attached to my card base, I further embellished my card by stamping some additional stars from the same stamp set, this to match the embossed white cardstock as well as the embossed "moon".
The sentiment was added to a die cut Vintage Label Die from My Creative Time stamped on a scrap of Kraft cardstock.
To finish my card~ and not really visible in the picture~ I colored the stars using my Wink of Stella pen as well as adding some to the embossed white stars too. This really adds some fun twinkle to them :)

So what do you think???

I hope you like my card and will play along with the new challenge!

Exciting News!!!.........{Seize The Sketch #12}

Good Morning everyone!!!
I have some exciting news to share!! 
I know some of you know how much I love working with card sketches.....
AND 
I play along with Seize the Sketch challenges as much as I can....
WELL 

I was asked to join the DT!! The announcement was made yesterday HERE


So for my first post as a new DT member, we are using this sketch 

and here is the Valentine's Day card I made with it!

The designer papers are from Carta Bella~Devoted paper pack and I added some machine stitching to the border.

All the stamps and dies come from My Creative Time~

I used the 100% Sweetness Stamp set with the matching heart die for the sentiment, heart die cut and matching  "love" pattern on the heart. I did heat emboss the heart to give it some more texture and really make the wording pop on the card.

I layered the banner~ which comes from the Vintage Stitched Label Dies onto the Stitched 3x4 Journal Die and added some Totally White Trendy Twine which I stitched to the pattern paper layers.

So what do you think???

I hope you like my card and will play along with the new challenge!
