Tuesday Throwdown 148-Sail Away

 

Hi there Friends, Welcome to Tuesday Throwdown 148-Sail Away! My Grafico is sponsoring us this week and has given us some nautical images to use! So if you play with us this week, the theme is Nautical.
I had fun breaking out my new Fancy Pants paper pad. Also new is the navy blue brads I picked up at Joanne's. They are from the "Oh Boy" collection, Basic Grey. I just love anything Nautical. Always have, even tho it's a trend right now. Love me some Navy Blue! Maybe because I grew up in the Air Force.
I used the most recent Deconstructed Sketch #101.

TT146-My Mother, My friend

It's time for the Tuesday Throwdown 146, sponsored by Robyn's Fetish Digital Stamps and More. The theme is My Mother, My Friend so make a Mother's Day card and join us! I bet we Americans will all be making these this week if we haven't already. I chose this "Lily" image to use on my card.
I wanted to go out of my comfort zone and try a (semi) Clean and Simple card. Also it was time to try my new washi tape. I'm always slow to adapt to trends. Sometimes I don't know what to do with new products but I'm very happy with this. Hope my MIL likes it. :)

I printed the digital image on Copic X-press blend it paper, colored it with Copics and popped it up on foam tape. The polka dot paper is MME-Memorable. The washi tape is Queen & Co. The sentiment is Hero Arts. Cardstock is PTI. A few gems were added for sparkle. Sigh, if only all my cards could be done this fast! LOL.

Cara-SSS209

Hi Friends, I had a chance to get krafty today. I played with the The Sweet Stop Sketch 209 and some 6x6 Webster's Pages papers. I also inked up a "new to me" MFT A la mode stamp set.
Isn't she cute with those cute boat shoes? My daughter will love it. She loves boating and nautical things. I'm lovin this "Twinery" bakers twine and I used Bridget's from Bridgets Paper Blessings tying technique. ( Thanks Bridget). I replaced the scalloped element with the twine. The sentiment stamps is MFT also.

SSS183-TT217-Anniversary

Hi Peeps, I'm squeezing this card under the wire for the Flourishes Timeless Tuesday Challenge 217-Wedded Bliss. I didn't need a wedding card but I did need an Anniversary card. The anniversary comes after the wedding so it's close!

 I used Flourishes "A Year in Flowers Two" for the Lily image (Copics). The sentiment is another company. Not sure which right now. I followed the Sweet Sunday Sketch 183  and like how it came out. The paper is MME-Follow your Heart. CS is PTI.

Just a few brads, pearls and some punched butterflies finish it off. Thanks for visiting!

DS-Mother's Day

Ahhh, Sunday, time for crafting! I wanted to combine a few challenges and make a Mother's Day card. It will be here before we know it. I used Deconstructed Sketch 99 and the Papercraft Star 142 -Photo Inspiration. I used the teapot from the photo inspiration but not the neutral colors. I was going to use neutrals but fell in love with the colors of the MME papers.

The cute little doily is Maya Road. The rose is Wild Orchid Crafts. Cricut cartridge "Heritage" was use with my Expression for this ADORABLE Teaset cut. I love it!!! The stamps are Verve.

Seize the Birthday 15 Masculine

Hi there! Here's my masculine version of the Seize the birthday 14 sketch challenge as promised. I think I'll give this to my Father-in-law next week for his birthday. He used to dress up for work before he retired. These papers are so like the ties he used to wear. Of course they are Graphic 45, Proper Gentleman.

I used several different stamps companies for this. The Outline stamp for the spellbinder is Waltzingmouse. The Happy Birthday sentiment is Flourishes and the Dad sentiment is Inky Antics. 

I love when the paper does the work of making a card pretty or interesting.

Scroll down for my Tuesday Throwdown Post

Hi Peeps! Just a quick post with a birthday card I made for the Seize the Birthday Challenge #14. I'm trying to play along each week because I need a boatload of birthday cards for the upcoming months. 

My focal point it a MFT birthday stamp set (triple scoop) I recently acquired! I used some Crate Paper "papers" which are actually pinker than the red tones that are showing up here. I just added a button, twine and some little gems. (look hard!) Easy Peasy!

I already made the masculine version for next week so stay tuned. Have a good week. :)
