Thanks and a RAK

Hiya folks! We're half way through the week! Woot! Woot! :-) I have a simple card and a RAK from Jody Morrow to share with you today!

This thank you card was one that I made for a swap. One of the swappers sent us all the stamped floral paper and we had to add to it. I used some polka dots in Versamark on Kiwi Kiss paper and added a blue border behind it and a sentiment in navy ink. Really quick and easy to make if you need to mass produce a set!I also got a RAK card from THE Jody Morrow of Confessions of a Ribbon Addict. I had sent her a birthday card last month while sending out some birthday RAKS for SCS and she sent me this beautiful card back! You can learn more about the card by seeing her post about it.
Hope you are all having a wonderful Wednesday! Thanks for stopping by! :-)

Supplies Used (Thank You card):
Stamps: (SU! floral panel provided by swapper); PTI Polka Dot Basics II, Scattered Showers Additions
Ink: SU! Not Quite Navy; Versamark
Paper: SU! Blue Bayou, Kiwi Kiss
Accessories: Fiskars Upper Crest punch

More Sparkly & Bright

Happy Tuesday! How great to "start" the week on Tuesday! LOL Anyway, here's another Christmas card I made over the weekend for the Moxie Fab Challenge. I didn't really like how it turned out so I didn't submit it, but I thought I'd share it anyway. I stamped the dots in Aqua Mist ink onto Aqua Mist paper. I also drew some glittery circles around some of the dots in a random pattern. The little snowflakes were added in Aqua Mist as well and I colored the santa's face, beard and buttons with Copic markers. I wish I had stamped the sentiment in red, but too late! I was going for clean and graphic, but I don't think I ended up there like I had hoped, but I think it is cute nonetheless. :-)

Hope you are all having a great day! Thanks for stopping by. :-)

Supplies Used:
Stamps: SU! Sparkly & Bright; PTI Polka Dot Basics II
Ink: PTI Aqua Mist, Pure Poppy; Palette Noir Black; Copic markers; Sakura glitter pen
Paper: PTI Aqua Mist, White, Pure Poppy
Accessories: PTI Pure Poppy saddle stitched ribbon

Raspberry Suite Color Challenge #16

Hi y'all! Back with a second post and a second color challenge. Dawn gave us some beautiful fall colors to work with this time - chocolate, summer sunrise, kraft and cream. Check out her original inspiration photo here. The colors reminded me of a sunflower, so I went to town with my hexagon punch ... I stamped some polka dots onto kraft paper and purposely stamped them a little imperfectly. I added a column of Thank you sentiments down the side. The flower center and petals are Bitty Box paper punched with a hexagon punch. Everything got distressed with an edge distresser and Chamomile ink. I really like how this turned out and will be trying this soon with some brighter colors too!

That's about all for now ... trying to make the most of the long weekend to craft as much as possible! :-) Thanks for stopping by!

Supplies Used:
Stamps: PTI Polka Dot Basics II, Scattered Showers Additions
Ink: PTI Dark Chocolate, Chamomile
Paper: PTI Vintage Cream, Kraft card stock; Bitty Box paper - Summer Sunrise, Dark Chocolate
Accessories: PTI Dark Chocolate grosgrain ribbon
Other: Edge distresser tool; Creative Memories hexagon punch

Moxie Fab: Classy & Elegant Christmas

Happy Saturday y'all! I am back with a card for another Moxie Fab Holiday card challenge. This one started out as an aim for Shabby Chic, but I think it turned out more Classy & Elegant, so I am entering it for the later of the two.
(click on photo to enlarge)
I stamped some wreaths and holly sprigs on to Vintage cream card stock and colored them with Copics. I also overstamped with the Text Background in Dark Chocolate and added some Chamomile ink over the whole thing. I colored Old St Nick with Copics and put Chamomile all over him, too. The green panel on the bottom has a few Fancy Flourishes and the "Christmas Wishes" sentiment. I love how this turned out - I love the Scarlet Jewel and Ripe Avocado together for Christmas - it just seems sophisticated or something!

Thanks for coming by! I will be stamping and watching football all day so I will have more posts over the weekend and into next week! :-)

Supplies Used (all PTI unless noted):
Stamps: Believe, Fancy Flourishes, Text Style
Ink: Dark Chocolate, Chamomile, Ripe Avocado; Copic Markers; Memento Rich Cocoa
Paper: Vintage Cream, Ripe Avocado
Accessories: Scarlet Jewel luxe satin ribbon; foam tape; Fiskars Upper Crest punch; corner rounder punch
