Stampin Up Honeycomb Hello for Senior Citizen Day

OH, HELLO

I created this card for Senior Citizen Day August 21. I was trying to create a card that was easily copied with limited supplies as I had a workshop to make as many cards as possible at my office.  I brought in a bunch of punches, paper, colored pencils, etc.  I also brought my Big Shot and several folks enjoyed learning how to use it.  I will be showing off more of what I made and the cards of my co workers and their children.  The goal is 100 cards for the residence of my Father-in-laws nursing home.  They have been delivered!

Another view.  I stamped kraft paper with the Hardwood stamp and brown ink to create the background. You can see how I popped up the sentiment after I stamped then punched.

Ingredients:

Stampin Up Honeycomb Happiness stamp

Stampin Up Hardwood stamp

Stampin Up Word Window punch

Stampin Up Chocolate Chip ink

misc card stock

Birthday Girl layout for Sketches in Thyme

Hello and welcome to my blog and this month's Sketches in Thyme Facebook page inspiration.  I continued scrapping my niece's first birthday photo shoot.  I would like to add I did NOT take these photos.  

Here is the sketch:

I found this great paper at a crafty yard sale.  I don't know what brand it is but I bought all she had of this stack with pinks, blue and rose gold foils.

I added some K & Co layers and glittered embellishments to finish off the page.

I sprayed the flowers with various shimmer sprays to coordinate with the paper.  I layered them and added sparkle brads in the center.

Ingredients:

Creative Memories Dusty Rose card stock

K & Co Blossomwood Butterfly 3D stickers

Color Me Crazy flower layers

Heidi Swapp Color Shine Navy

Technique Junkies The Creaking of Trees and Atlantic Hearts Sketch Challenge

Good morning!  Today I have a card I created using the latest Atlantic Hearts challenge sketch and Technique Junkies monthly challenge.

Here's the sketch:

Ingredients:

Technique Junkies Creaking Trees stamp

Recollections stencil

Distress ink Walnut Stain

kraft, brown and ivory card stock

Our Daily Bread Designs stitched circle and rectangle die

metal embellishment

Prima wood button
