Rejoice

Happy Easter! I hope you are getting to rejoice with loved ones this morning! We are celebrating at church with my husband's mom and then headed over to eat lunch with my family. Should be a beautiful day!

I saved my favorite Easter cards for today and they will go to our mothers. They are basically the same, except one has some pearls and the other doesn't and they have different stitching on them.I really love how these turned out. I think the crinkled seam binding and the lace trim really made them special.Well, that's all for now. Thanks so much for stopping by today! :-)

Easter Lily

Hey y'all! Happy Saturday! I hope everyone is enjoying the holiday weekend. The weather has been really nice, so we got out and took a walk this morning. Its so fun seeing all the flowers that are popping up throughout the neighborhood.

I have another Easter card to share with you from my card making blitz the other day. I made two of these and they should have made it to their recipients (I hope)! :-)
I used more of that Madeline paper from K & Co and the Verve Everlasting Life set again here. That chunky twill tape is from Frost it Pink and was dyed by Melissa Phillips. I love that stuff. It was a bit thicker than I wanted for bow tying on this one, so I just added some pleats with my sewing machine and some ivory ribbon from Offray. The flower has some glitter so its really much prettier in real life!

I hope you are getting to spend some time with loved one's remembering the reason for this holiday weekend!

Thanks for stopping by!

More Easter Blessings ...

Happy Thursday y'all! Back again with another Easter blessings card. I really love this Verve Everlasting Life stamp set for Easter cards. Its elegant and I love the fonts used. I stamped the cross on an oval cut with my nesties and then colored it with Copics. The paper is from Melissa Frances and is super springy. I made three of these really quickly and stamped the Psalm 97:1 verse on the insides of them. Hope the recipients will enjoy getting these in the mail in the next day or so. :-)

Hope you are all having an enjoyable week! Thanks for stopping by :-)

I must say that I am really into this crinkled seam binding that I got. I bought some supplies to start making my own ... more to come on that in a few days! :-) This card is pretty simple ... mostly some patterned paper and then some Copic markers. Very easy.

Well that is all I've got for now ... back to playing around with paper and stamps so I can get these Easter cards in the mail! Thanks for stopping by!

All the paper is from SU! and the stamp is from Verve. I think these turned out really fun and cheery. I should have made one for myself while I was at it! :-)

Easter Blessings

Happy Thursday all! I have been busy sewing up some t-shirts and I got about 16 shirts in the mail today! Thank goodness ... I have some large orders to get started on.

I took a break tonight to whip up some Easter cards for some good buddies and some family. I really like how they turned out and they went pretty quick as far as mass producing goes. A little Nestabilities action with the circle dies. I stamped the images and then colored them in with Copics. Added a scallop border to some paper strips and then a bit of ribbon. Hopefully some of the recipients will get them before Easter! LOL I did also stamp "He has risen! Luke 24:6" on the inside, but forgot to take a photo.Alright, back to the ironing board! :-) Have a great night everyone! I will post the winner of my Blog Candy in the morning!
Supplies Used:
Card Stock: SU! Cameo Coral, PTI Vintage Cream, Kraft

Edited to add ... I just realized this fit Janet's challenge this week, so I posted it on her challenge blog!

CPS107

Here's my version of the CPS 107 sketch. I really like the color scheme, but I think something is missing or the sentiment panel is too plain. I don't know! I guess I shouldn't stamp when I am really tired! LOL
Anyway, I used a new Plain Jane scripture stamp from Verve. Her stamps are lovely and they stamp great! I love the fonts she uses for the accentuated words.

Supplies Used:
Card stock: PTI Stampers Select White, Raspberry Fizz
Ink: PTI Raspberry Fizz, Summer Sunrise, Hibiscus Burst, New Canvas

RAK from THE Verve Girl!

A few days after Christmas I got a beautiful card from the Verve Girl herself - Julee Tilman! Check out the card and how she made it here. She also has a shop with beautiful stamp sets - check it out!

AVS05 Challenge

A tall, skinny card! This is a new size for me and I actually really like it. I will probably make more in the future.

This is for day 5 of Verve's anni-verve-sary! Overall, I think it came out pretty good, but I wish I had had some teal ribbon. The double stitched black & white gets a little lost.

All the paper is from SEI's Black Orchid stack. Ink is SU! Basic Black & PTI Aqua Mist. Ribbon is from Michaels.

Hope you are all having a great week!

AVS01

Here's my version of Julee's Anni-Verve-Sary challenge #1. (Yeah, I am posting a little out of order!) These 1/2 square triangles on the side are really getting me! I had a time with this. There is another sketch with these too that I have not attempted yet! haha

Stamp is from Verve (Psalm 37:4 Plain Jane). I also used a clear flourish stamp from Archivers to make the pattern. Paper is PTI Spring Moss and SU! Chocolate Chip. Ribbon is some chocolate satin I had in my stash!

Hope you like it!

AVS03 Challenge

Here's my edition of Julee's Anni-verve-sary sketch #03 at SCS. Once I got the layout measurements figured out, I was good to go. I am surprised how good this came out ... I wasn't sure I could make this sketch turn out cute!

Patterned paper is from My Mind's Eye (big Magnolia stack). I also used SU! Chocolate Chip and PTI Vintage Cream cardstock. The stamp is from SU! Friendly Flowers w/ a few dots to fill some space from the PTI Polka Dot Basics set. A couple of primas and brads and a little SU! Chocolate Chip grosgrain and it was finished! What do you think?

Verve Anniversary - AVS02

It's Verve's anniversary and they have 12 days of challenges. This is the first one I have attempted so far - I did it this past weekend. I think my triangles are a little out of proportion, but its too late now. Taylor's tape is super permanent! haha

All paper & ribbon & ink is from Papertrey; stamps are from Verve; pearls are from Martha Stewart crafts.
