Thank you Sew Much

I made this card a few months ago and am very late in uploading it. I just love this adorable House Mouse image "Sew What" and the sentiment is "Sew Much".

I made this for some challenges over at Splitcoast Stampers . The featured stamper challenge FS259 - Kim (Luv Flowers) had the honor that week. I cased this adorable house mouse card.

I put my card in the Fan Club gallery - Mind your Manners also the Free 4 All challenges - use a heart or two --- I have 6 heart eyelets and also for Mondays Technique challenge - twine - I have used twine to tie on the image - it is wrapped around the main card and tied at the back. Image was coloured with Stampin Up and Tombow markers. Cut out with oval nestability. I left the die on the oval, masked the image and sponged inside the die. Punched holes in the brown nestabilty scalloped sides and attached the heart eyelets.

Thanks for looking,Hugs..Pat

A Heartfelt Thanks

A happy, snowy Wednesday to you. It's been a long time since I have posted anything on my Blog. I thought it was time that I did so. I made this Quilted Heart card for my mother-in-law "Sharron" as a Thank-you to her, for helping me finish my "Tyler Quilt". I have been working on this quilt for over two years now.
The sentiment is from Stampin-Up's "Quilt Quip" set. The faux stitched triangle and squares on the heart quilt are from Clear Dollar Stamps "Build a Quilt" set. I saw this gorgeous Scrap Quilt card by Lisa Lara and I new I wanted to purchase the Build a Quilt set.

I used this weeks colour challenge from Splitcoast Stampers as my colour combination (Pretty in Pink, Pink Pirouette, Rose Red and neutrals of choice -white, vanilla, brown or black)

Thank you my Friend

Happy Saturday everyone... Well we had our very first snowfall last night... it didn't accumulate to very much thank god... It is supposed to get down to -7 tonight... Winter is definitely on its way....

I made this card for 4 different challenges over at Splitcoast Stampers... Queen for the Day - Maxell (Bev) , Ways to use it - to use browns on your card, Free 4 all - to make a thank you card and the Inspiration Challenge "Plaid Pony Vintage". Here is the owl card of Bev's that I cased and the Plaid Pony inspiration "Owl piggy bank".

I am also entering this in the Crazy 4 Challenges challenge - to have circles on your card or project, in your image, dp, circle dies, circle punches etc... My owl has circles in the stamped image.

The owl image is from Inkadinkado - "Patterned birds and bug" set and the sentiment is from Studio G. I stamped the image onto water colour paper twice with vintage sepia ink and clear embossed. Water coloured owl/branch with Stampin Up creamy caramel, close to cocoa, really rust and old olive. Cut out the owl image from one, embossed the back with a stiletto to give it dimension and placed it over top of other image. Sponged creamy caramel and close to cocoa around both of the water colour paper panels. Card stock is Kraft and textured soft suede. Sewed edges of two of the panels.

TLC221, Tri Shutter - Thank You

Happy Tuesday everyone. For this card I used this weeks Splitcoast Stampers technique challenge "TLC221" - Tri Shutter Fold card. For the Tutorial see Bonnie Szwalkiewicz's Blog. I found the fold very easy to do - Bonnie gave wonderful instructions to follow. It was the decorating that took me awhile to do.
I will definetly use this technique again.
The flower is from Stampin Up's "Bloomin Beautiful" set and the sentiment is from Stampin Up's "Full of Life" set. I water coloured the flower twice. Cut out one image and popped up over other. Added Diamond Stickles to flower. Made the vase and tied on the ribbon. The Dp is from Making Memories and is double sided. Sponged dp edges with chocolate chip and matted with pink (Tinted Dawn) card stock. All edges were sewed. Punched out butterflies and darkened edges with Chocolate chip marker. Added the little rhinestone flower on the sentiment panel and to the butterfly bodies. I am very pleased with how this turned out.

Thanks for stopping by and checking out my little part of the blogging world.

House Mouse Challenge #29 - a sketch - Thank you Sew Much

Happy House Mouse Monday --- Today's challenge over at the House Mouse and Friends blog is a sketch challenge.

I stamped my House Mouse image ("Sew What" #HMUR1065 - starring Monica and Amanda) on Stampin Up - whisper white using Stazon timber brown - Image was stamped twice. Coloured with Prisma colour pencil crayon, gamsol and blending stumps. I drew in the tile floor and wall panelling. Cut out images of Monica and Amanada from one, popped up images with foam dots. Main card is 5 1/2" x 5 1/2" old olive, next is chocolate chip. I just purchased this wonderful double sided designer paper (Fancy Pants - #761) called Twitterpated from my local Scrapbooking Store. On the old olive strip - I used the Stampin Up Sanded bg stamp in old olive. The blue strip is the back side of the striped dp. Cut out the scalloped circle and plain circles with my Nestabilities. The yellow circle is Barely Banana from Stampin up. Stamped Sentiment - from Stampabilities - called Sew Much #QR1054 - in Stazon Timber brown and coloured background. Stitched all edges. Sewed on the spool buttons, hand stitched two corners of the main images.

If you can, check out all the other wonderful DT cards, if you join in on the challenge, remember to upload your cards.
