Happy Sundae Birthday

 Hello again, good to see you, and thanks for stopping by!

I have a card that is already in the mail and HOPEFULLY in the hands of its recipient.  So without further adieu ~


Pretty straight forward, right?! An embossed panel cut down to size, a Copic colored cutie popped up, and sentiment stamped -- check!  Look a bit closer and you'll see his adorable pink cheeks!  Sometimes it's those CAS cards that are just the cutest, and this one has my heart...  I used a recent sketch from FMS but I had to wait for the mailing time period, and I'm okay with that.  PLUS I got to use a new cover plate (yes, Michele, I have this cutie too) and a new stamp, so this'll be heading over to the NBUS #28.



Supplies:
   CCC - Sundae Funday stamp
   Stmplrtns - Wonky Stitched Grid cp

Thanks for dropping in, and I'll see you soon!

Hugs,
TK

Let the Good Times Roll

 Good to see you, and welcome to my blog!

I have a masculine card to share today.  This will be going to our neighbor who rides motorcycles, and on occasion with us.  I used the colors at Color Hues #21 - Red & Blue, and while you might think of July 4th, my brain went here ~

I actually was coloring another image with DOX inks, and wanted to use up the excess so I made the splish-splashy bg first.  After it was dried, I stamped the sentiment and image in VersaFine, and set to coloring this image.  The blue and red were not as dark as I had hoped, so a couple of quick cotes made it stand out a bit more.  I do wish I had added a bit of yellow to the headlight though.


Supplies:
   E by E - Good Times

We've had a bit of company last week, then a motorcycle ride and some sheetrocking this weekend, and we'll be getting more company in town sometime this week, so I might be a bit random but I'll be in and out to catch your wonderful creations.  Take care!

Sending Sunflowers

 Hello again!  

I have a card today that is just squeaking in for a challenge so I wanted to get it posted pronto!  This card will go to Pixie's Snippets #407, MFT Sketch #549 and CTD #650 so let's get to it, shall we?


I not only used quite a few snippets on this one (yellow cs for flowers, yellow pp for a little extra, a gray cs strip for the sentiment, and the black cs for flower centers) but I actually cut down the trellis background, and used it as a base,  I've had this lying on my desk for awhile, dreading the "weeding" since it didn't stick to the dryer sheets as hoped.  The sentiment was embossed in silver, but I managed to get the first few letters with a shadow somehow.  A close-up shows it better ~


Supplies:
   AJVD - Slimline Stitched Plaid bg die
   MFT - Upsy Daisy die
   TCP - Flying By (sentiment)
   SSS - Sending & Wishing (inside sentiment)




That's it for me, Folks!  Hope you had a terrific weekend, and those with heatwaves are bearing it!

Take care & hugs,
TK

Relax - pt. 2

 Hello, All!

Call me silly, but I decided to CASE my own card!  Well let me just say that after I finish and post a card, I then come up with some ideas...  So this'll be the Part 2 to this card, only this one will be saved for a Birthday.  Here it is ~

While the towel, the flip flops and even the sentiment are the same elements, I decided to add the embossed paper to give beach waves and a slightly different feel; the towel is tipped and the flower centers are crystal Stickles.  I love that sparkle!



Supplies:
   CB - D'vine Swirls e/f
   PTI - Flipping Out dies
   HB - Truly Great Friends frame die
   LI - Stitched Rectangle
   LF - Perfectly Plaid pp

Hope everyone has made it safely through the holiday weekend, without sunburns.  Thank you for stopping by!

Hugs,
TK

A Very Merry Christmas

 Hello! 

I've been busy trying to set up follow.it, so I guess this'll be my actual maiden voyage post to see if I got it correct - lol.  Thanks for bearing with me while I make the switch!

This card uses inspiration from MFT Sketch #548 and Color ThrowDown #649, so a very non-traditional Christmas card to add to my stash ~


While totally out of the realm of traditional Christmas colors, I'm happy with this card, it also doesn't hurt that it has these adorable little Christmas elves.  I LOVE this color combo!  I didn't have Christmas paper in the chosen colors but I think these papers work pretty well.  And I have to say, almost every item used on this card is from MFT!  And the inside ~


Supplies:
   MFT - Santa's Elves stamps/dies, Toasty Greetings stamps, and pp - Dots & Stripes & Perforated Plaid
   LI - Stitched Rectangle die
   SB - Classic Square die
   Copics

 

Thanks for sharing a part of your day and your sweet comments.  And for those in the US, please have fun, stay safe and enjoy your freedoms.

Hugs,
TK
