Sketch N Scrap Card Sketch #52 with Tim Holtz!!!

Hello again!!!  Just popping in with two more cards I made for Father's Day using Sketch N Scrap Card Sketch #52.  Here's a look:

And here are my cards:

I used a variety of Tim Holtz papers and a kraft base for a masculine card for my husband.  I inked all the edges with Walnut Stain ink and added some metal piecesand a Heidi Swapp distress sticker.  

There is also subtle stamping (postcard) and the Distress Burlap Stamp from Creative Embellishments in the corners.  

I finished the card with a border cut from numbered paper and folded over the edge!

Here's a look at my second card using the same sketch:

I kept this one simple with the black and silver, using a variety of embossing folders to make the papers stand out against each other.  I used a "family" stamp as my sentiment on white cardstock which was pop-dotted to stand out against the background :-)

Well gang...  Thanks so much for stopping in and have a LUCKY day :-)

Sketch N Scrap Card Sketch #51 with Heidi Swapp Travel Collection!!!

Hello folks!!  WOW... it has been some time since I have had time to actually "free scrap".  As most of you know, my mother passed away earlier this year which pretty much put a hold on everything.  Shortly after, I also took custody of my nephew so, as you can imagine, my time is extremely limited these days :-)

Any who, I am here with one of two posts to share some cards I mad for the AMAZING men in my life for Father's day!

Here's a look at Sketch N Scrap Card Sketch #51:

And here is my card:

I used the Heidi Swapp Travel Collection and a kraft base.  I inked all the edges using Walnut Stain distress ink and fussy cut bits and pieces from the collection to add for flair!

I used pop-dots to make the top piece "stand out" against the backgrounds and finished with some fussy cut stars! 

I decided to use the same sketch to make another card for my Father-in-law.  I kept this one classy with simple black and silver papers, using an embossing folder to accent the silver paper against the black background.  

I finished this one with black enamel accents from Tim Holtz and more stars!!

Well gang...  Thanks so much for stopping in and have a LUCKY day :-)

Tim Holtz Double Time at Sketch N Scrap!!!

Hello everyone!!  I hope you're having a fabulous July so far!!!!  

Just popping in to share some cards I made for the new card sketch over at Sketch N Scrap!

Here's a look at the fabulous new sketch:

I LOVED this sketch sooo much that I used it to make TWO cards!!!!  That's right...  And of course I had to use products from one of my all time favorite people ;-)

 

Aren't they so wonderful?!?  Seriously?!?  LOVE them :-)

I started with Neenah Kraft as my base, then added my layers of inked up paper, using pop-dots for dimension along the way!

 

I created the windows using my Cricut Explore machine, then added liquid pearls for added dimension!

 

I then finished each card with a different sentiment, all by the wonderful man known as Tim Holtz!

There you have it crafters!!!  Two simple cards with one fantastic sketch!!!  

Well gang...  Thanks so much for popping in and have a LUCKY day :-)
