Sending Positive Vibes

 Hello!

Another quick post, today is yardwork day... mind you, we have 1.5 acres so it is a bit time-consuming.  Need I say more?!  Anyway, a "get well" card to my dad, delivered the other day.  He is recovering but there is still future concerns.  I guess everyone knows about aging parents, and that is the stage I'm in!

His card ~

While one might think this is sarcastic and rude for a get well, Dad and Diane are cat people so they definitely get the humor!  I happen to love each and every expression on this stamp.  In fact, lean in and take a closer peek -- you might get to hear their collective eyeballs rolling!

Haha -- this is some real cat-itude!  Anyway, the sentiments inside definitely express what my heart feels, so I'm good with that.  Yes, they enjoyed the card!

Supplies:

   UNITY - The Purr-Snickety Crew (NBUS)

   EH - Positive Vibes sentiment

   PFS - Mini Slimline Essentials Rectangles die & Mini Slimline Envelope die (NBUS)

Again, thanks for the visit and well-wishes for everything going on here!  You guys rock!

Hugs,

Dancing With The Heart

 Hello and welcome!

Today I have an adorable card to mark the Birthday of the very person who inspired me along the Penny Black trail!  In fact, I don't think I could mention this person without PB coming up...

Stamped, coloring with Copics, shimmered with WoS and cut out.  Then what to do with the background?  In PB&J's latest video series, Jill had a layout like the one above, I just changed out the products.  However, I did another "Jill-ism" and added a light ink blending to spotlight the little girl.  What I couldn't catch was the elusive shimmer on her heart headband, plus the hearts on the wrapping and ribbon.  I have had this gal on my desk FOREVER!  I love her, kept meaning to use her but now is the time.  I mean, who else deserves her but Loll -- Happy Birthday and best wishes!!!

SORRY - this wasn't supposed to post until Saturday!  Yikes - HB2U anyway!

This card will enter Penny Bslack June - AG (no patterned paper), and NBUS #87 ~

 

Supplies:

   PB - Heart Dance & die (NBUS), Gentle Swell Frame (NBUS) and Background Basics stencils

Thank you for the visit and have a wonderful weekend!

For You, Dad

 Well, here I am again, dropping in like a drop of water in a hot sizzlin' pan (and I'm not just referencing the heat here)!  Unfortunately, things have gotten a bit wilder in my sphere, Dad experienced a medical issue and ended up admitted into the hospital on Father's Day.  I'm standing on the promise that the Lord will never give you more than you can handle!

This post will be a short one... 

For my Dad ~

I CASEd a card created by Galina Filippenko of Waffle Flower for this very set.  I fell in love with her colors, so chose something very similar.  Hindsight, I wish I would've re-stamped the black after all the blending, that is why I did left the stamps in the Misti!  I ended up popping up my little panels and used one for the sentiment.  This was hand-delivered Tuesday.  LOVE the colors!

 

NBUS = new stamps/die; IDEAS = A/G - ink blending, dies and stencil!

Supplies:

   WF - Postage Collage die/stencil, PC Lake Sunset stamps and PC Circle Sentiments/die (both NBUS)

That's it for me today.  Thank you for the visit and the recent wishes/prayers for family!

Hugs,

Wish Big with Peonies

 Hello!

Today's card features a press/foil plate that I've had for quite some time, but it's coming out today to play.  I was gifted this by the illustrious Michele, and honestly, I'm not sure why I waited so long to use it...  I hot foiled it today, then used the stencils to ink blend in the colors.  Thanks, Michele!

After die-cutting the piece down, it was mounted flat, pre-foiled sentiment added, then a leftover butterfly placed.  I love the vellum butterfly and how she adds in beauty but doesn't detract from the colors.

Since this press plate and stencil suite has never been used, I'll enter this in the NBUS #87 and Trible B - June, obviously I didn't use the wonderful violet color as an option.

Oh!  And Happy Birthday, Verna!

 

Supplies:

   PFS - Blooming Peonies pp/stencil (NBUS)

   SU - Textured Notes Frames

Thank you for the visit and have a great rest of your week.  May your temps not be in the near 100's like we're having!

Hugs,

TK

Hang In There!

 Welcome, welcome!

Today's post is all about encouring my son-in-law.  Yes, this would be the one who was in a severe accident, just 4 short weeks ago.  He's doing pretty amazing, considering the trauma and LifeFlights he's taken!  He even returned to work part-time, more for the mental stimulation than anything, as he's finding it hard being still.  

Here's his card ~

The new image was stamped, then the bobber, worm and heart colored with Copics.  I then masked them off and sponged the water and sky, drawing in more skyline break.  He's pretty cute for a guy hanging on for dear life!

Supplies:

   UN - Danglin' (NBUS)

   MFT - Wonky Stitched Rectangles, Waves stencil

Have a great week!
