CCL - Halloween Humor!

 

 

Hello Hello! 

It's the 15th of hte month so it's time for another Classy Card Ladies challenge! This month Darlene and I are hostesses and we decided on a a humor theme. Since it's October, I also went with a halloween themed kit for Barb, Suzy, Carol and Kelly to play with! 

The sentiment is "I know the voices aren't real, but they have some great ideas"  Ha ha I love that one. The sentiment and cat image are from CMS 407 Snarky Cat Halloween by Tim Holtz. I believe it is a 2020 release (TH never retires his stamps by the way) I sent a variety of sentiments with the cat image so I am curious to see what everyone else will pick! 

Also I used hte sketch for this week's Tuesday Morning Sketches Challenge so I iwll be entering this card in that challenge!

CCL - August - Howdy!

 

Howdy Ya'll! 

Our them this month for the Classy Card Ladies is "Wild, Wild, West". Suzy has sent us (the diamonds) a western themed kit. Which I totally love :) The Cowboy Cat image is from The Graphic Word. I used my own sentiment (MFT). I colored the image with my Stampin Blend Markers (SU) and used a number of dies from Taylored Expressions. The enamel dots in the upper left hand corner are from Gina Marie.

Since I have been travelling the last 10 days I have not been able to check out what the rest of the ladies have created. That will be on my to-do list this weekend as I relax and get ready to go back to work on Monday. :)

CCL - On Cloud 9

 

Hello Hello! 

It's the 15th of the month so it's time for another Classy Card Ladies Duel! Kelly is our hostess this month and she set us a bright and cheery card kit with a sweet little girl from CC Designs. When I first saw the cloud frame die from Scrappy Tales, I immediately thought it would be perfect for a shaker card. I really don't remember the last time I made a shaker card, or how I made one so I kind of "winged" it :) I didn't have acetate which is what I guess is normally used for shaker cards, but I had some page protectors so I trimmed one of those down. The sweet girl image was colored with Stampin Blends. 

I honestly haven't looked at clouds for random shapes in a number of years. I did especially when I was younger. I am a bit of a weather geek so I get a little excited when a wall or shelf cloud rolls in ahead of a thunderstorm.

Sunday Stamps #260

 

Hello Hello! 

Another day another sketch challenge! I tend to do these in spurts. I recently came across the Sunday Stamps Challenge Blog and I really liked this sketch so I decided to give it a try using Everything is Rosy (retired) from Stampin Up! I can always use more Birthday cards! 

Here is the sketch:

TMS #612 - Land of the Free Because of the Brave

Hello Hello! 

Thought I would get out the "Celebrate America" 12X12 collection from Echo Park that I have and make a few 4th of July cards. I can't believe June is almost over already! 

I used the new Tuesday Morning Sketch (#612) with this card.

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!
