A QUICK AND SIMPLE FLOWER PUNCHED CARD

HEY BLOGGIES,

We had an horrendous storm on Monday evening and many, many people and areas flooded.  We did NOT flood but we had almost 12 inches in our area.  Many places down in Houston proper are flooded and the Governor declared parts to be disaster areas.  

Our home was built high and dry and we are taking care of the ponding in our pasture for our horses to be able to get up out of it.  So we are all fine.  

Thanks to all who have voiced concerns for us and our horses.  And Praise God for blessing us to keep dry and safe.

I used the pansy punch and punched out on whisper white several flowers AFTER I used a textured impressions embossing folder with stripes. Then I put different color card stock behind each one and added two punched out centers to create the flower.  Tangerine Tango ruffled ribbon and marker in the stripes of the EF, along with card stock layer behind it all finished off the card.

Hope you enjoyed this quick and easy card.  Thanks for stopping in.

HUGS CARD

HEY BLOGGIES,

I have another SKETCH FRENZY FRIDAY card for you this week.  All the wrapping paper has been collected and put into the trash and the boxes are in the recycle pile.  Now get a cup of hot cocoa and take a look at my beautiful turquoise and black card for this week.  First, here is this week's sketch:

A very simple sketch that is easy and perfect to use for almost any card!!  Here is what I created with it:

I absolutely LOVE the combo of turquoise and black together.  I think it is a crisp and clean combo.  I used some circles and the pansy punch, then some banners and the sentiment is a HUGS die.

Here is a closeup of the main part of my card.  I used some stitching around the circles for added interest.  And I added a thin black boarder along one edge of the black and white dsp.  It is from the current SU catalog, but I am sorry I don't remember the name.  I think it is back to black, but I could be wrong.

I really love how my card came out.  I like the little pop of yellow in the center of the pansy.  And the surprise on how the turquoise circle behind the black only goes half way.  Just a little bit of interest to keep your eye busy.

Thanks for stopping by.  Time for YOU to now make a card and upload it to SKETCH FRENZY FRIDAY.  You have all week to come up with your creation.  We would LOVE to see what you create so please share with us.

I also entered this card at PAPER CRAFT CREW CHALLENGE.

SKETCH FRENZY FRIDAY CARD

HEY BLOGGIES:

Today I have a monochromatic card for you today inspired by my Manager, Dawn Griffith.  She sent me a thank you card and gift for helping her with our team.  I loved the card so much I had to CASE it and make one also.  I just added the ribbon for a bit of a different look and to go with our SKETCH FRENZY FRIDAY sketch by Patrice.

Here is my card with Flower Shop stamp set and pansy punch as well as Petite Petals stamp set and punch.

The shape of the card is so unusual and fun, isn't it?  I got a card like this from my Upline Dawn Griffith and knew I just HAD to case it.  Changed it up just a tiny bit.
