Congrats - new Promotion!

Another quick post, Friends, but I'm thinking and praying for everyone!  Life is weird, times are tough, and things are challenging but we must choose joy!

This card went to my son-in-law, since he just received a new promotion!  Since this will be heading to Freshly Made Sketches #449, I'll get on with the post.  Here's their inspiration ~


And my card ~



It's CAS and fits the bill, I like that!  Thanks for popping in and visiting, I enjoyed the chat (while mildly one-sided, I admit), but I do appreciate the visits.

Supplies:
   SSS - Abstract Triangles bg stamp
   C&9 - Petite Posie (freebie, sentiment)

Take care, stay safe amidst all that is going on in our country and abroad.
Hugs,
TK

Happy Anniversary, Amazing Couple!

Hello!  Sorry I've been MIA lately but I have a quick post for today.  This card goes to my eldest daughter and son-in-law for their 9th Anniversary!  Here's to honoring them ~


This brightly colored wonder was a first - playing with AIs on Yupo.  I had fun, learned a few things and learned what not to do (yes, I got a brown smeared panel too).  After cutting down my panel, I layered it with a cover plate, then popped up the sentiment tag.

And a close-up ~


Supplies:
   E by E - Bed of Roses CP
   AE - Load of Wishes

Hope your week has been wonderful and you blast into a fulfilling weekend.  God bless you.

Hugs,
TK

Happy 23rd, Hubbs!

Anniversary, that is!  Yep, it's our Anniversary and we're celebrating. I'll make this short, I'm sure you came here for the card and not the rambling about my wonderful guy!

I ink blended on the white cs, spread some crackle paste through a stencil over the inking, and let everything dry.  The kraft cs was then popped up, and the sentiment heat embossed and placed.  Here's a close-up of the crackle ~

Supplies:
   LF - Inside Out Stitched Hearts
   DR - Anniversary (Sentiment
   PB - Smitten (sentiment)
   MFT - All Lined Up (stencil)
  
I hope your weekend is awesome, and I'll see you in a few days!  God bless to all.

Hugs,
TK

CASEing Bobby!

Hello again!

I recently really enjoyed picking a card to CASE, so I decided I needed to do another, only this time it'd be Bobby!  This one's for her Birthday - Happy Birthday to you, Bobby!  Here is her CAS but regal card (her post is 6/15/20) ~



I really liked the masculine or feminine feel of this, the muted but pretty tones, along with the browns of the pattern.  And here's what I came up with ~
(sorry poor indoor lighting)

While hers is masculine, I couldn't really send Bobby a masculine card, so I made it a bit more fitting  :o)

I used a stamp that I honestly had trouble stamping with, I've used it before but it was giving me fits.  I'm not sure if my desk is to flexible (it's kinda long), or what my issue was, but I definitely struggled at first.  I usually tend to have this issue with larger stamps (any ideas?).  After stamping and heat embossing, I colored with my Zigs, then stamped and cut the sentiment before placing it.  I actually wanted a bit of the melon color showing underneath but I just couldn't make it work.  Needless to say, I WAS trying to CASE Bobby!  I hope you like it, and so does she!

Supplies:
   CASual Friday - Tim Roof (NLIB I believe)
   WF - Label Greetings (NBUS)

Thank you for dropping by and visiting, I love each chat.  Maybe next time it'll be in person (oh how I wish)!

Hugs,
TK
