Deconstructed Sketch #103

Hey there! Who's ready for a new Deconstructed Sketch?

I'm not 100% happy with my card today, I think it was my paper choices but I just wasn't feeling it! 

I flipped the sketch 90 degrees so I could use this Promoted PJ from Verve! The papers are from PTI and the flower stamps are also from Verve's Let it Be

Check out the Deconstructed Sketch blog for a list of girls playing along as well as challenge details. Thanks for stopping by!

I Like You...and....

*sigh* the long weekend is over. Bummer deal! We've had my mother in law here this weekend and had so much fun:) I even managed to sneak away to make a card while she was napping, ha!

I used this week's Clean & Simple sketch for my card

Now, when you see my card, you're really going to have to use your imagination, lol! I promise I set out to use this sketch, and then my card kind of morphed into something a bit different, but I did use the sketch and that's where I got my inspiration:)

I used the new I Like You set from Reverse Confetti! I tell you, with all those fun things to love, I just wanted to smash them all onto one card, but settled with my favorites;) The words were a little too big to stamp onto circles like in the sketch, so I stamped them on banners and then layered then on top of each other. Did a little sewing and added some pearls and that's about it!

If you haven't checked out the new Reverse Confetti release, you really must:) Cute stuff!!

Thanks for stopping by today, hope the rest of your short week is awesome!

Congrats!

I have a quickie card to share today using one of my Taylored Expressions kits! This is the April kit, which I just got, so it's still new to me:)

I love this kit for all the gorgeous colors! The yellow pp and the blue cardstock came in the kit, as well as the ribbon and those flowers and leave stamps!

I love this kit! Now it's time to have fun with my May Kit!!

My sweet mother in law is here visiting for the weekend, so I'm keeping this short! Thanks for stopping by today, hope you have a great weekend!

Deconstructed Sketch No. 102

Anyone ready for a new Deconstructed Sketch? Here's our sketch for this week!! Nice and simple:)

Except, of course, I cant keep things simple, lol!

I sort of flipped the sketch, you can still see the sketch, I just added a few things:)

The stamps are all from Verve! The sentiment and flowers are from Let it Be, the frame is from On Occasion, and the leaves are from Dream Big. The frame was cut out with the new Occcasions Frame die, the leaves with the Dreamy Leaves die, and the the flowers were hand cut out. 

I had a ton of fun with this sketch! Remember, feel free to change it up a bit, as long as we can still tell you used the sketch:) Now hop on over to Jen's Blog for all the challenge details! Thanks for stopping by today:)

Shore Do Love You!

Hey there! I'm here today with a fun little card using one of the new RC releases, Happy Harbor!

I stamped and embosses the anchor, sand dollar, and wheel in gold embossing powder and then cut them out. I mounted them on small banners from MFT. 

The rest is pretty self-explanatory. The striped paper is from Simple Stories and cardstock is all from MFT. Thanks for stopping by today! Stop by the RC Store or the RC Blog to see our new release. When you get your stamps and create a card, post it up on the RC 'Fetti Find post HERE for your chance to be this week's 'Fetti Find!

Adjusted Sails

Amber actually made a one layer card? STOP THE PRESSES! It CAN be done!

I don't know if you know or not, but I love layers, and more layers...but today I challenged myself to create a ONE layer card and I actually kind of love it:)

I can't believe how hard it is to make CAS cards..you think it's gotta be easy, there's barely anything there! Well I tip my hat to the CAS ladies because this took me like an hour, lol! It's much harder than it looks, for sure!

I'm kind of in a nautical mood today, even though I live in the desert and the only water I see is in my bathtub, ha! We just had a new Verve release and there were a couple nautical themed sets so I pulled them out. The sentiment is the Adjusted Sails plain jane and the circle and anchors are from Strong Anchor. I just stamped the sentiment first and then kind of added the other elements where it felt right.

I added a little button and some twine to the anchor and then some tabs from the Flag It die set in the upper left corner to kind of balance it out.

Deconstructed Sketch No. 101

Hey There! I'm here today with a fun card with this week's new Deconstructed Sketch challenge.

I used one of the new Reverse Confetti stamp sets for my card, Peacock Pretties!

The blue striped paper is from Simple Stories. I stamped the large peacock feather in Baja Breeze ink on the Baja Breeze cardstock. I love the subtle pattern it created! I stamped the feathers again in Baja Breeze and Lime ink and then cut them out and positioned them around the sentiment. I finished the card up with some rhinestones, buttons, and twine!

Have you seen the new Reverse Confetti release? Be sure to check out the RC Store and grab a few sets up for yourself, you're going to love them! Fabulous quality and very affordable:) Also check out the RC Blog for updates and some fun blog features.

Verve Spotlight Hops: Day 4

Hi there! I am sorry to not have a card to share with you at the time. This week has not been a great one, my sweet grandpa had a stroke and is in the hospital and I've got no creative mojo to speak of right now. Don't worry too bad, my grandpa is doing much better and should be released from the hospital tomorrow, but I can't help being worried and scared and it's just taken everything out of me. Please make sure to see what my sweet Diva sisters have got prepared for you! Stop by the Verve blog for the line-up! Thanks so much for stopping by...

Verve May 2013 Spotlight Hops: Day 3--Strong Anchor

We're on Day 3 of Verve's new release Spotlight hops! Today, we're peeking the new sets Strong Anchor, Adjusted Sails Plain Jane, and the Nautical die-set. This is a gorgeous set that I think you love for those masculine cards! I created my Dad's father's day card already, hee!!

My dad is a Godly man and I think this set is just perfect for him...I can't wait to send it off  *guess I better get started on that Mother's day card? Ha!*

This set has a few gorgeous verses, and some fun nautical images and even comes with a coodinating die set! I cut the wheel out with one of the dies and then stamped the wheel stamp in rhubarb ink. The rope border is also from Strong Anchor.

I kept the layout quite similar on the inside of the card and added a couple more sentiment stamps from the set. I really can't wait to send this to my dad, have I mentioned that yet?:) 

If the layout looks familiar, this is Deconstructed Sketch #100! It's a two week sketch, so you have another whole week to play along if you want to!

Now you'll want to check out what the rest of the Diva's have created with this amazing stamp set!
