Tradefish Designs-Noteworthy

Hello! Today I am sharing two cards I made using the Noteworthy set from Tradefish Designs.
On the first card I used some calendar DP from Crate Paper.  I stamped the notebook paper in blue, on white cardstock and cut it out.  I stamped the "just a note" in black.  I paper pieced the pencil with Crate Paper DP and adhered it over the notebook paper.  I sponged white acrylic paint on the edges of my card and tied some denim twine from The Twinery around the bottom.

The second card uses the post it note from this set.  I stamped it on some yellow patterned paper and cut it out. I colored the thumbtack with a Copic marker. I had some thin corkboard so I cut a square out and used that as my bulletin board.  I added some staples to the corners and my sentiment, "don't forget" is from this set and the rest is made with Cosmo Cricket tiny type alphabets.

I think this set is perfect for making note cards for teachers.  The second card I will sneak into my son's backpack on his first day of 5th grade tomorrow!  Thanks for stopping by!

Where There Is Love...

Hello! Today I made a card with two challenges in mind.  The first is the CAS challenge over on SCS-to use kraft and bright primary colors on your card.

The next challenge is the ippity 1,2,3 challenge:
1 stamped image
2 different cardstocks
3 different patterned papers

My stamp is from the ippity set, Quotes a la Happy. I colored the heart and the "love" with copic markers after stamping it in Memento Rich Cocoa on a carstock tag.  I used three different Cosmo Cricket patterned paper strips behind the tag.  I sponged distress inks on the edge of my kraft card base and on the edges of my tag.  I added a vintage button from my stash over the hole in the tag.

This is a quick and easy layout that you could use for many different occasions, just by adding a different image or sentiment on the tag.

Thanks for stopping by today!

TradeFish Designs-You Are A Blast!

Hi, there!  Today I have a card using the TradeFish Designs set, Outta This World. I LOVE this set.  So much fun to use.  I used some patterned papers from Pink Paislee's Summer Days collection.  I stamped the solids stars with my old Bordering Blue ink from Stampin' Up.  I stamped the sentiment and the rocket ship in black and then colored the rocket ship with copic markers.  I matted the sentiment with some scallop and oval punches and tied some baker's twine around the bottom. 
A great little card to give to one of my boys just for the heck of it!

CPS Challenge and The Stamps Of Life!

Hello! This week The Stamps Of Life is sponsoring the CPS challenge.  You can go HERE for all of the sketch details!  I used the guitars2play set and some Rock Star paper from Best Creations.  I pieced parts of my guitar with the same paper I used on the three background panels.  This will be the perfect card to give to my son this school year when he does something fabulous at school or in sports!

Have a Rockin' Birthday!

Hello!  Today I have a fun card for you using a sentiment from The Stamps Of Life set, guitars2play.  I thought it was perfect to stamp on a piece of Best Creations patterned paper from their Rock Star line.  I added a bit of baker's twine to the top, and because the paper has embossing and glitter on it, no need to over embellish! Easy Peasy!

This will come in handy for all of the little boy birthday parties we get invited to!

Thanks for stopping by,

FWF-Forever Thankful For You

Hello! TGIF....what a busy week!  Football practice, back to school shopping and enjoying the last couple weeks of summer break with my boys has worn me out.  I can't believe how much money I spent on school supplies for a kindergartner and a fifth grader! $102.00 to be exact.  That was JUST school supplies, too.  That is on top of the school fees and the buying of new backpacks!  Okay...enough griping and onto the card!

Today's card uses the ippity sets Thankful For You and Thoughts From The Past.  Both of these fab sets can be bought for  $12.00!  You can buy them from the sweet Noelle right HERE. You also get free shipping and free baker's twine with every order! Can't beat that deal!

This card was so easy to make.  I stamped my postcard image with antique linen distress ink and also inked the edges with the same ink.  I stamped my sentiment with Walnut Stain distress ink and lastly stamped the dragonflies in Baja Breeze (SU).  Easy peasy!

Thanks for stopping by!

Tradefish Designs-Feelin' Crabby?

Hi, there! Today I have a card using a new release from Tradefish Designs called, Pass The Sunblock. I stamped the crab three times and then colored them with Copic markers.  I used my tiny bubbles Cuttlebug folder for the background panel and then wrapped several rows of baker's twine around it.  I think this would be perfect to send to someone in the hospital or to someone going through a rough time.  There are lots of summer time images in this cute set. Thanks for stopping by today!

EAD color challenge

Hello! Today I have a card for the EAD color challenge.  I love pulling out EAD stickerz to make quick cards.  The best part...their stickerz are repositionable!!!  You can pull them off over and over until you get things lined up PERFECTLY without tearing the sticker or the paper.  Here are the colors below:

Tradefish Designs and Kraft Outlet!

Hello! Today I am sharing a card I made for the Kraft Outlet "Anything Goes" challenge.  The only requirement is you must use kraft cardstock on your project to be eligible for any prizes. 
I pulled out one of the new releases from Tradefish Designs called Outta This World.  This is one of my favorite sentiments and seemed to go perfectly with some K&Company Daydreams patterned paper.  I made my moon by embossing white cardstock with a Cuttlebug folder (not sure what it is called but it is an older one).
