Alleluia!

Happy Easter, Everyone!

I will leave you with two final Easter cards this year.  These will be hand-delivered today, so I think we're in the clear!

 

The first is in corals and a sagey green, using NBUS products and flowers, so I guess the first will be heading to NBUS #73, Penny Black Saturday - Easter.  Dry embossing, die cutting, copic coloring -- this one checks off all my boxes, and oh that coral color!


My second card is similar, only changing up the colors, so this one will head to The Flower Challenge #101 - Spring colors.

  
Supplies:
   Alt. - Organic Linen e/f
   PB - Curvature frame (NBUS), Garden Trio stamp/die (NBUS)
   SSS - Alleluia die

With that, I leave you my greatest wishes that everyone would have a very Happy and Blessed Easter!
He is Risen!

Hugs,
TK

Birthdays Abound!

 Hello, and welcome to my little world!

It has been a rough,  but event-filled week.  I was able to make a couple cards quickly (wish I had more time, but more on that in a bit)!  We're celebrating two Birthdays today, celebrating yesterday but actually one was Wednesday and the other was yesterday.

Here are my cards ~


My grandson turned 13 yesterday!  Ack -- how does that even happen???  I'm told he still loves my "cute" cards, that he even saves them -- how sweet is that?!  I told him that I'll try to be more age-appropriate from here on out... maybe?  Stamped, copic-colored, cloud popped up, panel layered over washi -- pretty basic in the making.


And talk about age appropriate!  NOT!  This card was for my son-in-law.  He's awesome and always has goals, so I'll pretend that it's appropriate.  Stamped, copic-colored, then the moon was masked and the sky ink-blended in.  A couple of white pen highlights on the fox - EZ PZ.

We wish both our very best!

Supplies:
   Card #1 - ME Ella & Friends, washi
   Card #2 - CCC A Fox's Life; MFT Wonky Rectangles; LF Upon a Star; Splb Wonky Squares

As for me and more time?  Yep, I put in my two weeks notice!  

Hugs,
TK

Joyous Easter

 Hello and Good Day!

So I'm WAY behind on my Easter cards but I had a bit of time today, so Color Hues #107 - Teal and Orange came to the rescue!  One of these will also go to NBUS #73, due to a new stamp and frame die.

 Here are my cards ~


My first card is a bit more feminine.
A new PB Blooms colored with Copics and die cut, perched on a new PB Ripple die cut frame, layered over the PB Noted e/f.  My sentiment?  Well shame on me but I don't have a single PB Easter sentiment - oy!  This sentiment comes from an antique Paper Smooches Easter Blessings set, heat embossed in white and cut down so I didn't cover up too much frame or background.


This card is my masculine version.  I used the same products, colored the bloom the same; however, I used the largest frame in a matching color and stacked up a couple layers of the white center.

I mail only a few cards, so I lucked out on that as most are hand delivered, but these will be in the mail shortly.

Thanks for stopping by and have a great week!  Me?  Mine is stacked with events (in addition to work), but I'm hoping to get a few more cards done.

 

Hugs,
TK

A Circle and a Swag

 Welcome!

Today, my card features a floral swag and a circle plus some early Spring colors.  This card was hand-delivered today to a friend for her Birthday!

I started with the green panel, embossed and adhered to the base; cut and popped up the stitched scallop circle, stamped and Copic-colored my floral swag and hung it from atop the circle, and lastly, "pressed" my sentiment.   




I'm sharing in quite a few challenges:  Color Hues #106 - Yellow & Green, JUGS #766 Mood Board, The Flower Challenge #100 - Add a circle, and of course NBUS #72 Challenge.  Whew!  You decide, did I get them all in there?

 




Whew!  I'd say that's all for me, Folks, but I have a bit of inspiration -- maybe you'll be seeing me soon!

Supplies:
   CB - Tiny Bubbles e/f (circles?)
   PFS - Stitched Scallop Circle (another circle), Sending Love stamp/die, Favorite Things Sentiment [all NBUS]

Have a great weekend!
Hugs,
TK

Bird - Die - Birthday - NBUS

Hello, Fine Feathered Friends!
Ok, you're not actually the feathered friends, but friends still.

Today's card will be a quick post, as I need a CAS card for a masculine Birthday at work, and I was "elected" to make the card.  As soon as I walked into my craft room, I spied the awesome NBUS embossing folder and it became my jumping spot.  Next, I was hoping that I could find a small bird die to go along, and there it be, nothing simpler than that and a foiled sentiment to pull it all together.
Here's my card ~


My card will join the festivities at NBUS #72, Triple B:  March and finally JUGs #765 Die Week & Birthday -- how could I not?

 
 Shucks!  I missed it!


SSS - Forest Border (NBUS)
Ps - Whittle Birds (this could possibly be NBUS too)
Splb - More Sentiments glimmer

Thank you for the visit, and I hope you have a MARVELOUS week!

Hugs,
TK
