Just Us Girls #758 ~ Thank You

 

Bobby has chosen a pretty winter Mood Board for us this week at Just Us Girls with lots of pretty images and colors to inspire you. I picked out a couple of the colors and images for my card. Take a look...

I stamped the PF Winterberry background on a white panel, colored it with Copics, then cut it down using an old SB label die. After die cutting a couple of PPP tags, the MFT pine was stamped on and the little die cut pinecones added. I punched a tiny hole in each tag and threaded a bit of twine through. I glued just the knot to the card. I thought rounding the corners echoed the round edges of the two labels. 

I asked the hubs what he thought of it. He said, meh... nothing spectacular. At least he's honest! 

Happy Birthday

Hey there bloggy peeps! My sweet friend Michele, sent me a few hot foil goodies along with my birthday card this year. Since Seize the Birthday has a 'Use Something New" challenge, I thought I would heat up my Glimmer machine and play along!

I've used this pretty Spellbinders frame and sentiment with black foil. It worked beautifully with some Lasting Impressions paper from my stash. I topped it off with a sweet butterfly (TSM) and a few rhinestones. Easy peasy!

Thanks so much for visiting with me today!

A Valentine for Sweet P

When I saw the quilt challenge over at Inkspirational, an idea popped into my head. I turned that idea into a Valentine for our Sweet P. Take a look...

I had a few bits and pieces from one of my all time favorite MME 6x6 paper pads left. After trimming to size, I pieced them together to form my quilt. Next, I used the largest of my Poppystamps Scallop Pinpoint Heart dies to cut it out. This went onto a card base embossed with polka dots. A couple of sweet MFT Rolled Roses and Altenew leaves, all cut from felt, along with a trio of buttons adorn the heart. Last, but not least, the Sweet P sentiment (from my Sweet Pea stamp set) went onto a PPP label die cut. I haven't used felt or those rolled roses in ages. Buttons too, for that matter. Sigh... they just never get old! 

Wishing you a blessed weekend!

Just Us Girls #757 ~ Consider Yourself Hugged

 

It's WORD WEEK at Just Us Girls and our hostess, Sue is looking for masculine cards. I went the cute-masculine route...wait is that a thing??!!

I inked up this cute little fox and gave him a manly wood frame. It looks like it's made from sticks... masculine ones! He's popped onto a background embossed with SSS polka dotted sun rays and topped off with a PTI tiny tag holding my sentiment. 

This one will go to my big brother who has a birthday coming up. He lives in another state, so I'm sending him this paper birthday hug!

It's your turn now and we look forward to seeing your masculine cards in our gallery this week!
