MIM #69...final sketch

Hey there.  Okay, this the final sketch for the week.  Number six.  I started with a PTI kraft base card and added papers from Hobby Lobby (gingham and polkadots) and Crate Paper (floral).  The white and red cardstock are also PTI.  I used a Martha Stewart border punch for the eyelet border.  I used

 New Leaf ink to stamp the greeting (PTI).

Off for the weekend!  Thank you for stopping by,

One Ringy-Dingy...MIM #69

Hello!  So you might have to be a little more mature, like me, to remember a show called "Laugh In" and a certain operator that used to say "one ring-dingy...two ringy-dingy".  Or even a rotary phone with a cord or when the "police" were actually listed in the phone book with a local number.  But all of those were part of my inspiration for this card.  Color palette was Basic Black, Hawaiian Shores and Raspberry Fizz.  I used the fun new phone set and Polka-Dot Basics from Papertrey Ink.

Twine is from Doodlebug and circle dies are from Spellbinders.  The picture below was to show that I popped up the center to give dimension.

I tried to use the pink dots to be my horizontal element across the card.

Okay one more sketch to go but this is one of my favorite cards yet. 

Thanks for stopping by,

Sketch #4... three challenges.

Hi again!  I am down to 2 sketches left for the week.  This card started with a color pallete from The Play Date Cafe and A PTI Classic Kraft base card.

Then came the sketch from Papertrey Ink.

Which brings us to my card.  I love it when I can take a card and layer the ink to create depth.  So I used Sweet Blush, Harvest Gold, Berry Sorbet and white ink.  Stamp sets are Rosie Posie and Big & Bold Greetings.

So I took the card one step further and added the bling for the Cas-ual Fridays Blog.  Which was to take a clean and simple card and add some bling. Bling in my case was the pearls from Hobby Lobby.

So there you go for tonight!  Thanks again for stopping by. 

 I love to hear your comments.

MIM #69...sketch #3.

Hello!  Hope you had a wonderful Tuesday.  It was a beautiful day here in the midwest.  I love this new little phone stamp from PTI.  I started with Rustic white cardstock for the card base.  Then used some My Minds Eye paper from the Lost And Found collection to make the folded back layer.  Fun sketch!

I used a little grey floss for the phone cord.  I am also entering this in the Simon Says Stamp anything goes challenge.  The designers used twine in their cards and I am using floss.  Thanks for dropping by to check it out.

MIM #69...sketch #2.

So one more quick card for tonight.  I scored vertical lines on the bottom half of the card at 1/2" intervals on PTI white cardstock.  Used the Happy die from the Pretty Peonies die set to create the greeting.  I used washi tape for the happy patterned die cut.  Taken with Teal cardstock and ink is from Stampin Up.

Ribbon and buttons were from Hobby Lobby.

Thanks for stopping by...

MIM #68...pocket cards and a little Moxie Fab.

Hey there!  Sorry I have been gone.  Had family at my house for a week then went away with my hubby for the weekend. I wanted to get a pocket tag/ Father's day card in.  Have had this idea floating in my head this weekend.  I started with Rustic Cream cardstock and the Tag Sale die.  Used the Moxie Fab colorway as my inspiration( picture below).  Folded the cardstock before I die cut so it is attached at the bottom.  I sewed the sides up and stamped the ties across the front.  I diecut some tickets and stamped them with things to give a dad for Father's Day.

Hope you have a great evening!
