Classy Card Ladies - Fun In the Sun!

 

Hello Hello - 

June is our "break" month from Classy Card Ladies. So why am I posting on the 15th? Well because our sweet Kelly decided to send us all the same kit this month to play with. Here are the details: 

I live in Miami and we are all about the beach and tropics and a popular saying here, as well as stickers on nearly every car, is #SaltLife! I looked through my stash and saw this ‘roaming gnome’ ready for summer and bought the matching paper for us to use. The rest is all from my stash.

Image: Photo Play Tulla and Norbert's Excellent Adventure Collection and matching paper collection and stamped onto #110 Recollections with Memento Tuxedo Black Ink.

Embellishments are from my stash: Altenew enamel dots, prima flower, brads are Making Memories, etc\ Ribbons: Hobby Lobby, misc brands

I had a lot of fun playing with this colorful kit and I am sure everyone else did too! I colored the main image with my Stampin Blends die cut it with Lawn Fawn Stitched Rectangles, then used a stitched tag die from Paper Rose. I absolutely love these tag dies. I punched out the sentiment with a circle punch then layerd it up 2 more times on some matching cardstock from my stash. I finished it up with some enamel dots and twine that Kelly included in the kit

Classy Card Ladies - May 2021

 Hello ~ 

It's well pass the 15th of the month, but here is my card for this month's Classy Card Ladies Card Kit. This month Carol and Shelly are hostesses and we are going to the chapel to get married.........No not really! Ha ha! the theme was based on this video: 

Going to the Chapel

This song didn't remind me of a wedding per se, but two of my favorite movies happen to be wedding related, The Wedding Singer & My Best Friend's Wedding. 👰

The image is from Coloardo Craft Company. I colored it with Stampin blends. Carol also sent a wonderful assortment of patterned and specialty papers, most were longer and narrow so I decided to make a slim-line card. The bling is one continuous adhesive strip. So so pretty. Carol always has the most prettiest gems to share!  

Thanks so much for stopping by!

FMS #481 Just a Little Note

 

Hello hello 

Back with another challenge card - this is for Freshly Made Sketches #481. I have quite a few scraps left yet from the Pretty Petals 6X6 DSP Stack from Stampin Up so I used some of those up on my card. The sentiment is from Stampin Up! (Lots of Heart) which is the current Occasions Mini Catalog. The punched butterfly is an old Martha Stewart punch. 

Here is the sketch:

Classy Card Ladies - Tuesday Morning Sketches # 592

Hello hello! It's once again the 15th of the month And this month Darlene and I are hostesses for the Diamonds and the Pearls. I am a Diamond and Darlene is a Pearl. As we looked through the prior list of challenges, we (well, Darlene) realized we have not done a sketch challenge! 

Since sketch challenges are right up my alley, I am super excited about this challenge! I emailed my friend Melissa, owner of the Tuesday Morning Sketches Challenge! You may remember I used to be a Design Team (member) for TMS! She graciously gave us permission to use one of her sketches for this month's challenge and I chose sketch #592 (you can find the link below) 

I kept my card simple, using the images, paper and some of the enamel dots. I colored the flowers with my Stampin Blend Markers (Light & Dark Daffodil Delight, Light Pumpkin Pie, Light Cajun Craze and Light Old Olive). I colored part of the sentiment with Light Pumpkin Pie. 

All of the card kit details can be found below. Now there is a surprise. while everyone is getting images from the same stamp set, using the same sketch and other supplies, there is one noticeable difference with each card! I hope everyone can find it!  

Sketch: Tuesday Morning Sketches: Tuesday Morning Sketches #592 (this is a sketch from last year and was a favorite for 2021 - #592 is the favorite sketch)
Stamps: Tim Holtz (new 2021 spring collection) - Stamped with GIna K Amalgam Back Ink on Neenah Solar White Cardstock
Paper: Origins (Basic Grey 6X6 pad)
Ribbon: Stampin Up
Twine: JoAnn Crafts
Other Embellishments: From my stash

Can't wait to see what everyone created! thanks for stopping by! Hugs ~ LJ
