God's Peace For PP459

Hello Stamping Friends,

I'm back!  I've been going through some physical challenges so blogging has been put on the back burner.  I'm sorry it's been so hit or miss.  But, I hope you enjoy today's card!

Thanks to this week's challenge over at The Paper Player's blog, my creative holiday season off and running with metallics! 

I love this new stamp set called God's Peace. I think it’s my favorite in the 2019 SU Holiday catalog! 

My card was inspired by fellow stamper Cindy Brumbaugh. This was her sketch and I CASED it using metallics. Feels Like Frost designer paper, silver embossing powder, and Wink of Stella,  all which give this card a shine and gleam.  

Happy Stampin'

Circles Galore!

Hello Friends,

     Hope this finds you all well on this Thursday afternoon.  Today I wanted to show you my take on another papercrafter's card.  I found the inspiration for my make and take card at Linda Higgin's blog, HERE.  My three cards show a little of my progression to the card I will use for my event.  Here is my first card.  It is a very close CASE ( Copy and Share Everything) of Linda's card. I changed my ribbon and my sentiment. 

The second card:

I added two layers of colored cardstock for the base of this card, changed the paper choices and the color of my sentiment to coordinate.  It is still the same sketch format.

The third card:

 This is my choice for the make and take.  Notice how I turned the sketch to a landscape format, but it still follows the sketch.

So, if you find a card design online that you love, you can always tweak it a little here an a little there to give it your own personal flair.  

Enjoy and Happy Stamping!

Hello!  My latest card is a take on sketch challenge #130 over at The Paper Players.  It's a quick and easy card...it even has an easy going feel about it, I think.  Warm, like the quilt designer paper.  :)

happy stamping,
