DT: Unscripted Sketches~Newlyweds

Hi there!  Happy Friday...woohoo!  It's been a long week for me.  I hope this week was a good one for everyone.  This is a card I made for our niece's wedding.  The design paper is from an older stack.  I thought the background paper was perfect for a wedding card.  For the squares, I used two different punches.

Hope you'll join us at Unscripted Sketches.  We look forward to seeing what you create with this week's sketch!

Supplies~
dp: Love & Wedding scrapbook kit in a stack{DCWV}
stamp: teeny tiny wishes{SU}

Card Patterns - Sketch 148

Another sketch..another card!  Boy, I'm on a roll! LOL  I have to say that I am having fun with the "31 Day Challenge" ( my previous post).  I'm at the half way mark...I can't wait to show you my journal.  A post will be up in a day or two on what I have done so far.  Now on to the card...

 For this week's Card Pattern sketch, I've done a Love theme that can be used for any occassion.  I didn't use a stamped sentiment for the front of the card, but instead I used the sentiment on the pattern paper.  I am loving the Spellbinder's heart circles!  This was my new purchase at Michael's...and, I got to use my coupon on it.  What a deal!

Supplies~
pp: Echo Park{Yours Truly}
dies/punches: Spellbinders{heart circles, standard circles}; MS{lace heart border}
misc: I Am Roses{white}; Treasure Nest{red}; seam binding; Recollection{pearl flourish}

Wedding Card

I combined two challenges to make this six inch card: a sketch{see above} & a color combo challenge-black, white, and a splash of red {The Play Date Cafe}.  The sentiment was first stamped onto white cardstock and then embossed with the embossing folder.  I love the doily flower die...so cute!  I used a similar eyelet border punch for the inside of the card.  Can't wait to give this to my cousin on his wedding day....

Manly Cards

I've been busy today making a couple of manly cards.  This first one is for my brother.  He'll be turning 32 in June.  Boy, do I feel old! LOL  This dp is a new line from DCWV and I love it!  It's perfect for making masculine cards and projects.

For the pocket watch chip piece, I used a few glimmer mists and rubbed some Rub 'n Buff.  I ran the numbers through an emboss folder and sanded it for a distressed look.  And I think showing the white brings out the numbers from the background.  Here's a close up:

The second card I made today is for my hubby!  It's our anniversary in a few days....can you guess how many years we've been married?! Would you say we're still newlyweds?!  It still feels like we are.  I am truly blessed to have a wonderful, supportive man who loves me and my crafting obsession!

Again, I used the new paper line, Tattered Time{DCWV}.  Behind the number, I punched out a portion of the design paper with Brenda Walton's seal punch and layered cs using the EK Success sun punch.

Supplies~
paper: {DCWV} Tattered Time & matching cs stack
sentiment: {SU} teeny tiny wishes
distress inks: {TH} walnut stain, tea dye, antique linen
mists: {GM} latte, burnt red, coffee shop; {Glimmer Spritz Vibez} vertigre
punches: {MS} iron gate, crown
dies/embossing: {Verse} charming oval, charming banner; {Cuttlebug's embossing folder} spots & dots
misc: {Tattered Angels} framed fonts-pocket watch; {Rub 'n Buff} patina, grecian gold; {Recollections} half back pearls; {Thickers} tinsel

I {heart} sketch-Feb 2011

Here is this month's i {heart} sketch....

This month's sponsor is Anita Be Stampin ...super cute stamps! So, check it out.  Here's my take on the sketch:

This is an anniversary card for my cousin...it's their first year! Another quick & easy card.  I used Heidi Grace paper {Forever Love Collection: Sentiments & Happily Ever After}, Bazzil cs {lilac}, MS punch {cherish}, Spellbinders die{standard large circle}, black cs

Anniversary Card

I used a Mojo sketch to make an anniversary card for our friends.  It was too late for me to participate in the challenge, but I thought this was the perfect sketch for the card.  Since I was hand delivering the card {meeting them in Vegas} I wanted to make the card a bit "chunky" with embellies.

Happy Anniversary

I didn't want to make it too "girly" because the card is for the couple.  But I wanted to use one the my flowers i just made on the card....hope it's not too feminine. The design paper is by Memory Box, Rhubarb Tart...super cute!  Instead of the oval shape, I used my Spellbinder's rectangle die.  The photo of the two hearts is actually a sticker.  I wanted to add the sentiment "true love" to the  front of the card using my dyno caption maker.  But, I just couldn't figure out how to load the refill!  I never used it before so it would have been my first time.  Well, I finally figured it out, but it was too late to add it.  Inside the card, I stamped Happy Anniversary.

I distressed the sticker with the Tonic Retractable Scratcher

This is a handmade lollipop flower from satin fabric, dusted some diamond dust and added pearl beads in the center.
