Card Kit from Terry

Hello Hello

I'm starting to create with the card kits I am receiving as part of a SCS swap. The month of May I receive card kits from 11 other swappers, and the 11 other months of the year I send them a card it. 

Today's card is from a kit that Terry in PA sent me. I had a lot of fun coloring this Whipper Snapper Image and the Pebbles DSP is so adorable. 

Here is the inside of my card:

Terry sent other images as well - along with more pattern paper and embellishments so I am sure I will create a few more cards from the kit to share here later! 

I used the sketch from this week's MOJO Monday Challenge.

Hoppy Easter

Hello Hello ~

Sharing a quick card I made for my niece Tavi for Easter this year. I used one of the Lawn Fawn Mini Sets (Hoppy Easter) and last week's Freshly Made Sketch for inspiration. The cloud embossing folder is from stamping up and the green grass was cut with Lawn Fawn Stitched Hillside Border dies . Super easy and cute to make!

You Are My Sunshine

Hello Hello ~ 

It's the 15th of the Month and time for our monthly duel between the divas and darlings. Kelly sent us this adorable kit using images and sentiments from CC Designs - Little Pixie - Sunshine. She is so darling! I colored her with Copics using the same color shades of the bright patterned paper Kelly sent with the kit. I put the sentiment on the inside of my card with some more fun patterned paper. I made the sunshine using a 1" circle punch and some strips of paper.

Would You Like To Ride In My Beautiful Balloon?

Hello ~ Hello

It's time for another duel between the Divas and Darlings. This month Darlene is the hostess for the Darlings and I am the hostess for the Divas. We chose the theme "Would You Like To Ride In My Beautiful Balloon?". Darlene and I chose this theme together in February, when Darlene flew to Milwaukee from the east coast for Camp-Stamp-In-Oga. It was so good to see her, Barb, and Terry. Such special memories for me. 

Anyway, for my kit I chose to use a retired set from My Favorite Things called Up Up and Away. The balloon stamps have coordinating dies, so I die-cut some of those to go in the kit. Also in the kit was DSP from Fancy Pants (Life is Beautiful collection), some ribbon, blue gemstones, buttons, chipboard accents, and craft doilies.

Crazy Doggy

Hello Hello

Today I am sharing a card I made with some new stamps I just purchased at a stamping/scrapbooking show in Rockford, IL. I met my girlfriend Barb down there and we had a fun time together looking at all the merchandise available and enabling each other ! My card uses the Crazy Dogs (with dies) from Tim Holtz. I have been wanting these doggies for awhile now - so glad I got them (honestly, I could have spent a lot more $ in the Stampers Anonymous booth. I love just about everything Tim Holtz designs! 

Anyhow - I also used this week's Freshly Made Sketch Challenge  for my card layout. This was a perfect layout for this image, as I wanted the focus to be on the doggy with not a lot else going on!

Whipper Snapper Swap Spot #2

Hello Hello

Today I am sharing my 2nd card for Barb's Whipper Snapper / Penny Black Card. I created a cute kids birthday card using EY858  - Simba from Whipper Snapper Designs. I got this cute guy on clearance the last time I was at Creative Pals (home of Whipper Snapper Designs) and thought he would be perfect for this swap.  The sentiment is fromStampin Up. I used some patterned paper from DCWV, SU! Ribbon, green button (vendor unknown) and some twine.
