Rainbow Skyline

Hello!  I am back with another stitched card today.  I cannot seem to put this die down!   Here is what I whipped up for this month's Paper Smooches Challenge:

I used the Metropolis stamp set to stamp the skyline image in light yellow on the die cut Cross Stitch design.  (See my post from yesterday for some helpful tips on using the Cross Stitch die.) Then, I stitched it using embroidery floss in colors of the rainbow.  This month's challenge is Showers---baby showers, wedding showers, rainbows or clouds.  I ran with the rainbows:) AND showers of love😍

The sentiment is from Sentiment Sampler.

I have some more cards coming using the Cross Stitch die! Stay tuned:)

Thanks so much for stopping by!

Sticky Situation and Gina K Preview Day 2

Hello everyone!

Today started with a bang. I was at the grocery store and dropped a syrup bottle on the ground when trying to transfer it from my cart to the check out counter. Even though it was a plastic bottle, it did break and syrup splattered everywhere. So, I asked the lady behind the counter for some paper towels...(she was not happy). She handed me some paper towels and a spray cleaner. I turned to go clean up the mess (don't they have someone there who does that?) and............yep, dropped the cleaner bottle.....it cracked. (giggle!) WHAT is that floor made of anyway???

That was pretty much how my day way today...... FYI: Syrup is very sticky, just so you know!


Today the Gina K Design team is previewing another two sets that will be released Thursday night! First, here is a card I created with Rupa's new set- Warm and Wonderful:

I LOVE the sled in this set and the sentiment is just perfect. So I combined them and added a bit of heart (love) and this makes a sweet card for someone who is far away during the holidays. The sentiment reads:

Love

is missing someone

whenever you're apart,

but somehow feeling warm inside

because you're close in heart.

The sled was stamped on white pure luxury with Copic markers and then adhered to the main panel.

Materials used: Stamps-Warm and Wonderful (Gina k Designs); Memento black ink; Ranger tea dye distress ink; sponge; Copic markers; cardstock-kraft, ivory (Gina K Designs); designer paper-Grandma's Christmas Soup (jillibean soup); Norm's News (October Afternoon); metallic dots (Jo Ann's); hemp; bells; ribbon (The Paper Studio); small heart punch.

Next, here is what I created with Theresa's set Life is Good :

There was something about that buck.....I knew I wanted to make a card with him and ended up making a more masculine design. I used some dp and the Calendar Grid stamp for the background and then added a sentiment inside the sun.

Materials used: Stamps-Life is Good, Calendar Grid (Gina K Designs); ink-Vintage Photo distress ink (Ranger); summer sun, more mustard (SU!); sponge; circle punch (SU!) ;designer paper-Autumn stack (Recollections); Ribbon-FV Trims Lizzie (Making Memories); hemp (SU!); small circle punch; brads; stapler.

Simple Sunday...on a Saturday!

EDIT: Apparently I am tired. I was scheduling this for tomorrow and I obviously am clueless about the date. Woopsie:) Happy Saturday (almost Sunday!)

Happy Sunday (.....as in 4 days till turkey day........akkkk!)
My daughter and I went to see New Moon yesterday....and we loved it. Definitely can see why so many "switched teams" with this movie. As for me---I remain on Team Edward (but it is JUST because of the books!)

I created this awhile ago and never posted it.....

The balloon is from Eclectic Summer and the sentiment is from A Year of Leaves (both Gina K Designs). I thought it would be cute to create a "Missing you" card with this image so I, of course, had to trail a few punched hearts....easy and cute.

Blog Awards: I KNOW I am bad about mentioning these but I am trying to improve (smile!) Thanks so much to Rhonda and Christi who gave me this award. (Because I already did this a few posts below, I didn't fill out the survey again!) Just wanted to say thanks!!! Rhonda also gave me this award:

Thanks so much! Now I am passing them along to all of you! Have a GREAT day!
