Feb SID - Nuts about you

 Hello and welcome to Stick It downs February card sketch! Hope you are inspired by the sketch or one of my fellow design team members and join us!

For my card I didn't stray from the sketch, but did make it a standard A2 size, since I was mailing it to my in laws for Valentine's day. The panel was a watercolor image I had in my stash, that I colored with watercolors and a few metallic watercolors for a little shimmer. I layered the watercolor panel on some brown cardstock for a little pop of brown, before adding it to the card base with some pattern paper. Sprinkled on some sequins and gems to finish it.

Here is another picture so show the metallic watercolor areas a little better.

I heart you

Another day and another post... wow two days in a row! Today's card is another Valentine's day card for my hubby, so I kept it simple no frills for him. This card is part of a twofer, the card I posted yesterday was the other I made with the same die cut panel from Simon Says stamp.

For today's card I took the hearts that were punched out of the panel and glued them in place. I colored one heart and adhered it with foam tape for a little dimension. The I and the U are die cut using Lawn Fawns Cole ABC's out of black cardstock and adhered to the hearts. I did add some glossy accents on the letters and heart.

Thanks for stopping by and have a great day!

Lawn Fawnatics Challenge- Clean and Simple 

Addicted to CAS- Hearts

A java valentine!

Hello everyone! Today I'm posting a valentine card I made and sent to my folks in TX and adding to some challenges (it's been a hot minute since I've played along). I'm hoping its the start of more now that I'm settling into a new job. (Fingers crossed I stay active with creating and sharing!) Anywho... my folks and I are some coffee drinkers, so thought this would be a cute one for them! Also this the first card I've shared that isn't for a design team in a long time.

I used distress oxide inks to create the blended background. The coffee cups colored to coordinate are from Lawn Fawn (Love You A Latte Stamps & Dies). I used the chunky heart panel die from Simon Says stamp for the white layer and an older Hero Arts Die set for the sentiment and little black hearts. Covered the black hearts with glossy accents and added some sequins and gems to finish the card with a little a bling! I loved how it turned out!

 

Thanks for stopping by and have a wonderful day!

SID Dec- peppermint kisses

 Hello everyone and welcome to the last card sketch for Stick it Down in 2021! I can't believe it's this time of year again, so much has happened and I feel like the year has just flown by. Here is the card December card sketch.

I didn't change anything from the sketch really, but had fun playing with the Frosted Gingerbread bundle from Stampin' up! The dies alone to make your own layered die cute gingerbread cookies and peppermint candies is to stinkin' cute, that's what I did for my decorative elements on my card. I die cut all the elements and added brown ink to my craft star to make it look a little more like gingerbread. Glued on the icing and a little red bling for fun. Peppermints were done the same way, I just love how they turned out!

SID NOV- Happy Thanksgiving

Hello all and welcome to my post for November Stick It Down card sketch! I can't believe how fast this year has gone by and Dec is here next week. 

I decided to make my card a Thanksgiving card since the post goes live the week of! I stayed pretty true to the sketch this month, just changing a few minor things to make it for the supplies I pulled out for the card. I finally used some items in my stash for the first time. Which made me happy, since I buy things like but then don't always use them right away. I know I'm not the only one! ;-)

SID Oct- Newlyweds

 

Hello everyone and welcome to my card for Stick It Down's October sketch!  

For my card I did a lot of white on white for a friends wedding. She loves sunflowers and her colors were green and gold. She had actually came over for help decorating envelopes for favors and she really liked the green embossing powder, so I made sure to use it on their card as well. Pretty pleased with how it turned out. Love the texture added with dies and embossing folder!
