DCWV Sketch Cards

Hello all!  I am sharing two cards in this post that are based off of DCWV's April Stackaholic challenge sketch.  Why two?  Because I needed these cards to send out and I was really inspired by the sketch!

The first card uses papers from their new Treasures stack that is available at Michaels.  I LOVE the vintage feel that those papers have!  I used some crinkle seam binding and Spiced Pumpkin Trendy Twine at the top of the tag.  This was a get well soon card, so the sentiments read: be strong, faith and home again.  I fussy cut out the key and added crackle accents to it for a vintage look.

My second card has entirely different feel to it!  This is fun and the colors are light and airy.  It is for my niece's birthday.

All of the pastel prints are from DCWV's Nana's Kitchen stack.  The prints are so much fun in that stack!  The brown patterned paper is the same as the background of the first card which is from the Treasures stack.  The ice cream cone SVG is from SVG Attic.  I embossed the cone and added glossy accents and glitter to the ice cream.  I even attempted to add glossy accents and glitter to look like the ice cream was dripping.  It is hard to see in the photos.

Want to join in the fun with this sketch?  Here it is!  All the details are in THIS blog post.

Faceless Beauty Card

Good morning!  I am here to share one of the last cards that I have created with you.  It was for a High School aged prayer friend that I have had through the school year.  Her favorite color is coral, so I went with that color as my theme. 

I used Unity's Faceless Beauty stamp set.  I stamped it on vellum and used markers to color it in with accents of white gel pen.  The patterned paper is from a stack by Colorbok.

This stamp set is one that I really love.  You can click HERE and HERE to see the other cards I have created with it!

I hope you have a wonderfully crafty day!

Trendy Twine~Love & Hugs Card

Good morning my crafty friends!  Today is my day to post over on the Trendy Twine blog.  This month, we are spotlighting Grape Fizz Trendy Twine and here is the card I have to share with you.

 I wanted to keep this card pretty simple and let the sentiment make a bold statement.  The love die and stamp are from Pink and Main.  The papers are from DCWV's Bouquet De Fleur stack.

The beautiful Grape Fizz Trendy Twine made the perfect embellishment, and for the last touch, I added two flowers for a little pop of color.

Here is what I used from Annie's Paper Boutique:

Spring Jamberry Manicure

I had some requests to share my nails with Jamberry wraps on after I posted THIS pretty gift idea with Jamberry wraps inside.   So here is what I am wearing right now!

I purchased the Coming Up Roses (now retired) wraps with the intention of wearing them for Easter.  Well, as it turned out, I didn't wear a pink dress that day, so I opted for a different manicure for that.  

 I love pink, so I didn't want to wait any longer to wear these beauties!   I added an accent nail of Sweet Surprise on my index finger.   I also added Bachelorette TruShine gel on my ring fingernails.   That is SO pretty!  Iridescent glitter and the wrap underneath still shows through.  I see myself using that A LOT in the future.  The pictures really don't do it justice!

So confession time...Jamberry is a new obsession for me!  Like the paper crafting world where there are so many textures and colors and patterns, Jamberry has all of that too, only for nails!  That is what spurred me to become an Jamberry Independent Consultant!  If you have any questions for me, either comment on this post or use the Contact Me tab that is at the top of the page :)

I hope you have a wonderful day!
