more for card drive: CAS cards with HA

Made a little set of three cards to send to my friend's daughters.  

Little Addison is battling Leukemia and her sisters are battling right beside her.

The little ones are affected just as much, but in a different way.

One card will go to each girl. 

Love to have you join my CARD DRIVE for her.
FABULOUS prizes too!  

My CAS cards feature stamps by Hero Arts.

I stamped, colored and cut out the butterflies.

Then I stamped the image on the paper to get the antennae.

The cut out images were then glued on top.   
The flight path was created with a Uniball pen. 
The top lines were embossed on the MS scoreboard.

Modified them a bit with a Paper Smooches sentiment for some cards to 
welcome new babies at church.  Lots of COPIC coloring fun!

Just a Note

When I saw the inspiration photo on the Cupcake Craft blog,
I knew I wanted to make something. I just love daisies!  

I combined the photo with a few other challenges and came up with this card:

I made the tag by embossing the flowers in white and then layering distress inks over the embossed flowers.  The flower centers were made with flocking powder.

RIC10, CCC189 and SSS: Gettin' Inky

Hi.  

I made another card originally inspired by the current Runway Inspired Challenge.

I decided to play with my distress inks to create the background.  

I started with a piece of white paper, added a layer of Antique Linen, followed by Spiced Marmalade, and a splash of Pumice.  

After that, I kept adding the orange until I got the brightness I wanted... which was a lot of ink! 

I stamped the subtle chevron on the side with London Fog. 

  

I wanted to add a bit of cheer to the card and went with a piece of EP polka dot paper for my tissue box and some felt for texture.   

I pulled the gold from the photo to the card with the gold brads.

CCC79, PV and CC164: Fall Treat bags

Hi.

Sharing some treat bags I am making for my 3 year olds at church.

I found the poem on the Internet and changed a few words for their age level.

I'll write their name on that line beside the pumpkin.

so it will read "May God's light shine in _____".

The pumpkin was stamped in orange and brown and pieced together.  I used the tree leaf in the set to make a leaf for the pumpkin... little creative license, ha ha

I just used some car stickers from my stash vs buy Lightning McQueen ones.

Cupcake Craft #124 & Lawnscaping Challenge 1: winter birthday

Happy Snow Day! 

It's falling fast and furious out there today.  SO pretty.  I made this card for my niece's 17th birthday coming up at the end of the month.  I was going to use pinks and purples, but I think she'd like the blue more. 

I used Lawn Fawn's "Frosties" set for the sentiment and then on the background with clear embossing powder.  The little girl and snowman were stamped, colored and cut out.  I added Stickles to the little girl's hat and scarf and the tiny orange brads on her coat.  She is holding a piece of cotton ball.  The snowman has a flocked scarf and hat with a dab of liquid pearls on the tip of the hat.  He has black brads for the "coal" buttons. 

I am entering this in the Lawnscaping Challenge ONE "Snow" theme (2nd entry) and the Cupcake Craft  "Something New" challenge #124.  The TPC studio stamp set was a birthday gift from my brother and SIL and this is the first time I have use them! Such a cute set!

The inside features the Lawn Fawn set with a HA sentiment. 

A dab of blue Stickles was added to the corner stamped image:

Here's the new TPC Studio stamp set I received for my birthday:

Supplies:

Stamps: Lawn Fawn "Frosties", TPC Studio "Winter Activities", Hero Arts "Everyday Sayings"

Ink: Memento, Top Emboss

Paper: white glitter paper from Target, HL

Other: MS flocking powder, brads, liquid pearls, Stickles, Prismacolor pencils, cotton ball, pop dots, clear embossing powder, whew!

Thanks for coming by today!  Time to shovel the driveway and play in the snow!  -Kelly

You Are a Blessing

You are a Blessing. 

Those are powerful words as it means that you have touched someone's life in a special way.  Since I had the lunch bags out from THIS project, I decided to get a head start on some teacher treats for Thanksgiving.  I hadn't planned on giving them something, but half-off Hersey kisses and the lunch bags gave me the inspiration.  And then came the sentiment... I saw it on a Lawn Fawn set and it's been in my mind ever since.  Just such a nice thing to say so I stamped it out with another Lawn Fawn alpha set.  I stamped the leaves and colored them with 4 different watercolor pencils and then blended them with a blender pen.  It is hard to see but one of the leaves on the card and the envelope have glitter on them and the middle one on the card is popped with dimensional foam.  I made three sets (bag, card and envelope) as teacher gifts.
