Flourishes Timeless Tuesday 133

Wow!  This has been quite the week for me.  I have so much going on and will share that with you soon.  Today I am showing you a card that I made for Flourishes Timeless Tuesday.  This week Silke is challenging us to a game of Bingo.

I just realized when I went to type my post up that I must be loving my Fine Linen ribbon lately...what do you think?  Funny hu?  I used the new FLIP set called With Gratitude.  You can find out how to get this beautiful set HERE.  I used Copic markers Y21, Y23, YR21, YR 35, G21, YG03, B000.  Cardstock is PTI Rustic White and Dark Chocolate.  Spellbinders dies Classic Ovals LG and Classic Scalloped Ovals LG, and Fancy Tags.  Designer paper is from My Minds Eye Lost and Found.

I chose the 3 straight down the center.  Piercing, Pearls, and Ribbon.  I have to say this is the first time that I have tried piercing and I was a little intimidated.  I think it turned out pretty good...don't you?

CR84FN 37

I am finally back to share a card I made for this weeks color combo at CR84FN.   I think I finally got my tension worked out on my sewing machine.  Don't ya think it looks a lot better?  I sure do.  I can't begin to tell you how frustrating it was having it mess up on me every time I did a straight stitch.

Again, I used my new pretty My Minds Eye paper from the Lost and Found Collection.  Do you see that cute little house?  That is one of my neglected PTI stamps.  I have had it for months and never used it.  Sad isn't it?

I also played along with this weeks sketch at Mojo Monday.

Supplies:

Cardstock: PTI/Rustic Cream, Ocean Tides, Kraft

DP: My Minds Eye/Lost and Found

Stamps: PTI/Love Lives Here, Mat Stack 3

Inks: PTI/Hawaiian Shores, Aqua Mist, Memento: Rich Cocoa

Ribbon&Twine: PTI Rustic White, Fine Linen

Border Punch: EkSucess

Border Die: PTI/Banner Border Dies

Flourishes Timeless Tuesday 132

It is Tuesday and that means it is time for another Timeless Tuesday Challenge.  This week Cindy is challenging us to be So Sentimental, have your sentiment/verse as your focal point.  I have to admit I almost never use a sentiment only and not color up one of my favorite Flourishes images, I  like the cleanness of the look though.  What do you think?

I used two different sets.  The sentiment came from Gerber Daisy and the sweet little butterfly is from Butterflies and Blossoms.  

Supplies:

Cardstock: PTI RusticWhite, Kraft

DP: My Minds Eye/ Lost and Found 

Stamps: Flourishes/Butterflies and Blossoms, Gerber Daisy

Ribbon: Offray satin ribbon in Buttermilk

Button and Twine: PTI Rustic White, Fine Linen

Lace: Prima

Happy Anniversary

Hello.  I hope you are all having a wonderful weekend.  Today my hubby and I are celebrating our 12th Anniversary together.  Time sure does fly by so fast.  I made this card for him using Flourishes Forest of Trees set.  He said this was my best masculine card yet.  Whew!  He definitely doesn't appreciate all the ribbon and bows I seem to add to every card I make.  :)

I did a good bit of sponging on this one.  I used Tim Holtz distress inks in Tumbled Glass, Shabby Shutters, Walnut Stain, and Antique Linen mixed with a little Vintage Photo.

Supplies:

Cardstock: PTI/Rustic Cream and Dark Chocolate, Stamper's Select White

DP:  MME

Stamps: Flourishes/Forest of Trees

Inks:  Tim Holtz distress inks stated above

Dies: SB Classic Squares LG, Lil Inker Banner

Sewing machine: Stitching

Sorry but this one is short and sweet.  I am off to make lunch.

Celebrate Today & Everyday

TGIF!  Whew...I made it through another week.  I needed a card for a coworker's birthday and decided to use a set that I finally broke down and bought.  I have loved the Autumn Abundance set since it came out and just never did get it.  I knew I had to before fall.  Since my coworker's birthday is in mid August I thought this was perfect.  Don't you?

I love the way it turned out minus the sewing around the card.  My stinkin' sewing machine tension is too tight.  It doesn't seem to matter how much I adjust it, it still stays the same.  I might have to break down and take it in for a clean and tune up.

I used the brilliant step by step instructions that Debbie Olson has on her blog post.  You must check it out.  She is amazing with the Copic markers.
I also used the sketch at Taylored Expressions.  It isn't a sketch challenge it is the sketch they used for the TE hop this month.  I just thought it was perfect for what I needed though and I wanted to give her credit for her sketch.

Supplies:
Cardstock: PTI/ Rustic Cream, Dark Chocolate
DP: MME/Lost and Found:Sunshine and Rosy
Stamps: PTI/ Autumn Aubundance
Ribbon: PTI/ Ocean Tides satin ribbon
Buttons: PTI/Fine Linen
Spellbinders Die: Classic Squares LG
Tag: Hand cut by me  :)
Copics:  I pretty much used what Debbie used on her post

Bloom Where You are Planted

What a week this has been so far.  I am still trying to get used to the new school schedule.  My poor son spends 3 hours a day on the bus if I don't take and pick him up.  The whole school system is a mess here.  It makes me really appreciate Iowa much more now.  So anyway....

I made a card for this weeks Card Patterns sketch.  This will work with just about anything.  As you can see I am putting my new MME papers to good use.

I am in love with the Blush 6x6 pack of MME papers.  Such beautiful vintage designs.  I used the cute little PTI Tag-its #3 set and a sweet bloom from Recollections.  The border punch is Martha Stewart and the doily die is from PTI.  The faint polka dot background that I stamped at the top is from Round and Round.

Thanks so much for stopping by,
