Day 16/30 Day Challenge

Happy Monday My Blogger Friends!

For the next 14-days I am sharing with you the cards/projects I created for the InkBig 30-Day Challenge.  This challenge is to make a card or project and mail or give it to someone special.  Here is the project I'm sharing today........

Today's card is going out to my GOOD GOOD BUDDY......Mary Fish.

When I thought of sending Mary Fish a card ........ I knew I wanted to make something that was MODERN - CRISP and CLEAN ...... As I know that's her style.  So this card was PERFECT for my good friend.

I started out with the 'Have a Cuppa' Designer Series Paper Stack and selected five of my favorite patterns.  I then grabbed several circle punches (2", 1-3/8, 1-3/4" and 1") and created a trail of pretty circles across the front of my card.

For a tiny bit of FUN ....... I grabbed my Bermuda Bay Stampin' Write Marker and added stitching lines around each of the circles.

And the sentiment for my card is from the 'Grateful Bunch' stamp set ....... And is exactly what I wanted to say to Mary. 

So there you have it friends.  A very special card ....... For a very special friend! 

 

Thanks for joining me today!  I'll be back tomorrow to share my Day 17 of this 30-Day Challenge with you ........ Hope you can make plans to stop back and join me for that share.  Keep Living Your Dream!

Today's card is going to my BEST FRIEND Debbie.......

The sentiment is from the 'Friendly Wishes' stamp set and just happens to say everything I wanted to say to Debbie.  To add a tiny bit of shine to my sentiment ...... I stamped my sentiment in Black Craft Ink and then sprinkled some Clear Embossing Powder over the top. 

I added some Black Baker's Twine across the bottom of my sentiment panel and added three little Real Red hearts right under my Baker's Twine.

For an added measure of WOW FACTOR I added a single heart to the very top of my stamped sentiment.

And I used the 'Botanical Gardens' Designer Series Paper for each of the panels on the front of my card.

Just love how this card tuned out and know Debbie will love receiving it from me.

Today's card is going out to my grandson Jared.

I grabbed my retired 'Heats Framelits Collection' (again) and created two extreme hearts for the front of Jared's card.  Inside the smallest heart ....... I stamped the 'Pictogram Punches' stamp set in Real Red.

I kept the layout for this card crisp and clean.  I love how the Real Red Designer Series Paper looks on a Basic Black panel ........ And the Smoky Slate card base just grounds everything.

And here's a close-up of the great looking heart I created on the front of Jared's card.

Just know Jared is going to smile when he receives his card ....... and the cash inside the card will make that smile grow even BIGGER!

Today's card is going to my grandson Steven.

I started my card with three hearts from the retired 'Hearts Framelits Collection'.  I picked three bright and fun colors for my hearts ...... Popped each heart up with some Dimensional Adhesive and then grabbed my White Signo Gel Pen to add some stitching lines around each of the hearts. 

Here's a close-up of the three pretty hearts I created.  I selected Daffodil Delight, Real Red and Rich Razzleberry cardstock to create my three pretty hearts.

The 'Pictogram Punches' stamp set was used to create my 'I LOVE YOU' banner flag.  And a Real Red heart was punched out and added directly over the stamped heart and then a layer of Crystal Effects was added over that heart.

 And one final touch was adding a few Gold Sequins to the front of my card.

 

Thanks for joining me today!  I'll be back tomorrow to share my Day 14 of this 30-Day Challenge with you ........ Hope you can make plans to stop back and join me for that share.  Keep Living Your Dream!

Now that all the cards have been sent off to the White house ....... I will begin sharing the cards that I made for the Sewell household with you.  My card today is going to my granddaughter Hailey.

Without a doubt ....... The 'Pictogram Punches' stamp set said everything that needed to be said on this card.  I used Watermelon Wonder ink and added a pretty pink heart over the stamped heart position.

I think my favorite part of this card is the pretty scallop edge I created on the Watermelon Wonder panel and then topped it off with some Whisper White Seam Binding.

I used the 'Confetti Heart Border Punch' to add a trio of floating hearts ...... And then covered each of the heats with some Crystal Effects for a pretty little SHINE!

And here's a close-up of the heartfelt message I was sending to my Hailey Girl.

I'm sure Hailey will love her card and the cash that I tucked inside this card for her.

Today's card is going out to my special grandson Twoie.

Twoie and I have a favorite saying that we share........and it always ends in "But Who Loves You the MOST".  SO......this sentiment just says that special little message to my Twoie Boy.  I used the 'Friendly Wishes' stamp set and die-cut it out with the help of the 'Lots of Labels' Framelits.

I grabbed several circle punches (1-1/2", 1-3/8"and 1") and three different cardstock colors (Bermuda Bay, Crushed Curry and Melon Mambo) and created a colorful splash of fun color all over the front of my card.

For my sentiment label, I added Stampin' Dimensionals to the backside of my label and popped it right up on top of all the colorful circles.

So there you have it friends ....... The perfect card for my Twoie Boy.  I'm sure he is going to jump up and down and do a happy dance when he finds the sheet of stickers I tucked inside his card.

Thanks for joining me today!  I'll be back tomorrow to share my Day 12 of this 30-Day Challenge with you ........ Hope you can make plans to stop back and join me for that share.  Keep Living Your Dream!

Day 10/30 Day Challenge

Happy Tuesday My Blogger Friends!

For the next 20-days I am sharing the cards/projects I created for the InkBig 30-Day Challenge.  This challenge is to make a card or project and mail or give it to someone special.  Here is the project I'm sharing today........

Today's card is going to my youngest granddaughter Brooke.

I started out by embossing a large circle from the 'Circles Framelits Collection' and then running it through my Big Shot using the 'Hearts' embossing folder.

Then I stamped my "I Love You" sentiment with the 'Pictogram Punches' set onto a Whisper White 2" x 4-1/4" tag with Bermuda Bay Ink.  For a little WOW FACTOR I punched a Real Red heart out and adhered it directly over the stamp heart image.

Next I stamped my vase with the 'Pictogram Punches' set and Tangelo Twist Ink.  For my flowers I used the 'Bitty Flower Punch along with three pretty spring ink colors.

And I added some Bermuda Bay Sequins and Pearl as a final touch to my Whisper White Tag.

All that was left to do was add some Bermuda Bay Thick Baker's Twine to the top of my tag ....... and tie it all off with a pretty Whisper White Baker's Twine bow.

So there have it friends ....... A darling card for my sweet "Doll Baby".

 

Thanks for joining me today!  I'll be back tomorrow to share my Day 11 of this 30-Day Challenge with you ........ Hope you can make plans to stop back and join me for that share.  Keep Living Your Dream!

For the next 21-days I will be sharing with you the cards/projects I created for the InkBig 30-Day Challenge.  This challenge is to make a card or project and mail or give it to someone special.  Here is the project I'm sharing today........

Today's card is going out to my oldest daughter Cheryl.....

I used the 'Enjoy the Little Things' stamp set to create this fun sentiment. For a pretty shine........ I used Bermuda Bay ink and then quickly sprinkled clear embossing powder over the top and heat set it.

The Chevron Border Punch came in handy for adding a little splash of color to the bottom corner of my card.  And I topped each chevron off with a Melon Mambo Candy Dot.

And what goes better with Bermuda Bay than Polka Dot DSP and Melon Mambo cardstock!

So there you go friends ......... A pretty card going out to my oldest daughter with a fun little Starbucks SURPRISE tucked inside.

Day 8/30 Day Challenge

Happy Sunday My Blogger Friends!

For the next 22-days I am going to share with you the cards/projects I created for the InkBig 30-Day Challenge.  This challenge is to make a card or project and mail or give it to someone special.  Here is the project I'm sharing today........

Today's card is going to my HAPPY HAPPY daughter Jenni.  I think if the card doesn't make her SMILE ........... The yummy Starbucks card I tucked inside with do it!

I made my flower pot with the Deco Framelits die.  I rounded the top and clipped off the bottom of my die-cut piece and it made the perfect flower pot for my three flowers to sit in.  My three flowers were made with Mossy Meadow, Bermuda Bay and Calypso Coral cardstock ........ And I punched them out with the help of the Petite Petal Punch.

Here's a close-up of the three flowers I added to my pot.

My sentiment was stamped with Bermuda Bay ink using the 'Garden in Bloom' stamp set.

And I added a banner of Calypso Coral cardstock across the top of my card and tied a pretty Bermuda Bay Baker's Twine bow to one end.

And because I like the pattern of the 'Birthday Bouquet' Designer Series Paper, I added a 4-1/4" x 5-1/2" layer of this DSP to the top of my Whisper White card base.

 

Thanks for joining me today!  I'll be back tomorrow to share my Day 9 of this 30-Day Challenge with you ........ Hope you can make plans to stop back and join me for that share.  Keep Living Your Dream!
