SNS Card Sketch #172

Hi everyone, I have been trying to use up what I have. I had this little adorable DiplomaBella in my stamped basket. I have had this stamp forever and ever. Recently I made this card and as I was looking for information about the stamp I realized it was so old that I could barely find any information about it! Tell me I am not alone in old stuff. Do you have oldies but goodies? Do you have any pre-stamped imagines that you either stamped extra of or...back in the good ole days I used to get together with my other scrappy friends and we would share our stamps and sometimes I would stamp some extras to be used later...well that was like 10 years ago y'all. Later is NOW!!

It is time to bash that stash. Use it up.

 Here is the wonderful sketch I used from Sketch N Scrap Card Sketch #172

Summer Daze Challenge #4 - Home

Welcome back to our Summer Daze Crop I hope you are finding some time to play along.

The last card I shared on my blog was for my daughter and this one happens to be for her as well. I love that she calls me for cards. It also keeps me up to date on her friends from school that are now all grown up. The latest card she needed was for a new home, one of her friends (and hubby) just purchased their first home.

I knew when I saw this Central Park - Cardmaking stamp set and Central Park paper packet in the new Close to my Heart Occasions mini that I had to have this set. I always love little house stamps and houses that I can color are an added bonus.

I used the blue grid paper to mimic the sky and the green paper to mimic the grass. Then I stamped all the houses in black and popped up one that I colored. Their house is a light brown so I went ahead and colored this one the same. I added a few yellow sequins and walla a quick card ready to drop in the mail box.

I kept this card pretty simple and here is the inside.

Here is the sketch for Challenge #4 I hope you can play along with Sketch #26 we would love to see what you come up with.

Congratulations!

I hope you have been able to join in our fun over on Facebook for the Merry & Bright Crop... this is 4th sketch challenge I hope you can play along. 

Here is the card I came up with. My daughter called me last week and told me one of her girlfriends that she has known since 4th grade was buying her first house and asked if I had a card or if I could make her one. I knew this stamp set and sketch would be a perfect match.

I like to coordinate the inside of my cards as well. Sometimes I do some stamping but usually I just coordinate the paper. 

Here we have Sketch N Scrap #38 for you to work with

Tulips

Here is the last card I in a little trio with the Blossom Paper Pack. This one was pretty simple but I added some interest with the faux stitching around the tulips. I also added some Glacier Twine and some Coral Reef Sequins.

Here they are all together.

Delightful bunch of Blossoms

Here is a little card that I made using the Blossom Paper Pack. I was inspired by a card sketch from PageMaps. There are lots of little layers popped up and a few banners on the bottom instead of the top of the card. I also added some Glacier Twine and some Coral Reef Sequins.
