Get Sketchy #79

Get Sketchy has another very versatile sketch this week and I am really enjoying clean and simple cards. No fuss, easy to make and you can actually put them in the mail... How many times have you made a card and wondered what the postage would be!? lol! I have done it, I promise... But I just love the look that features great patterned paper and sentiment! Oh and of course, one or two small embellishments! :D

Here is the sketch and I wanted to create something that I could use on a whim! No specific sentiment, just very usable!

Here is my card!

Hope you enjoy!

Lucky Girl Card for Papercraft Star and Kraft Journal

Hope you are having a great Friday! This weekend is the end of my Spring Break... Bummer, I know!

I know that St. Patrick's Day was yesterday but I wanted to enter something for Papercraft Star and the Kraft Journal. So, today I was cleaning my craft area and went through some of my older paper that I have and noticed that I really don't have a lot of green paper, but I did manage to find a scrap already cut from my Cricut and a couple other Basic Grey green paper! So, all I had to do was figure out what I wanted to go with it... As you can see I added a bow and a sentiment geared towards the St. Patrick's Day theme... And I wanted to add some buttons or something else.. but no green buttons, geez...

Materials Used:
Thick Kraft cardstock from school
Patterned Paper: Basic Grey
Green Cardstock: Bazzill
Ribbon: American Crafts
Cricut Cartridges: Paisley, Storybook

Enjoy your evening!

Unity Challenge: Theme-Fashion/Sassy Lil' Card Sketches

I am just bustin' out several cards... After feeling like I was in a crafting rut (mainly because I submitted to a couple of blogs and never heard anything back... not really in the "mood" to craft but I am over it), I think I am in full force and ready to create! I just have to keep putting myself and projects out there... it's tough to be rejected but I just have to keep trying!

Hope you are having a wonderful day! It's absolutely beautiful here in the Lone Star state and I wanted share this card with you. I have seen examples of people who stamp on patterned paper and some how (I am guessing, because I didn't look up a tutorial) they cut out the stamped image and piece them together on their project. I wanted to try and see what it was all about!!!!

Let me tell you... it was time consuming! But a ton of fun! I really like the end product!

Here is the sketch that I used for my card...

Here is my card!

Let's just say, I love polka dots! 

Materials Used:

Sentiment and Purse images: Unity

Ink: Tim Holtz

Ribbon: not sure... I bought it buy the yard a while back and can't remember whose it is... maybe Maya Road

Cardstock: from Hobby Lobby
