Aloe There! FMS #416

Here is a card I made using the sketch over at Freshly Made Sketches. I've had it done for about a week now and totally forgot to upload it so I'm glad there challenge is still going.

Here's the sketch. This layout is one of my favorites I've done in a while and I can see myself making a few more cards with it.

Here is what I came up with. I used new products from the latest Catherine Pooler release called Out West.  Loving the color combo for this paper!!

Hello

Good morning! I tried out another color combo from Stampnation today and am loving it! It's part of the Coffee & Cards-Holiday Edition. I love when they give us color inspiration. It's so cool to see what others come up with and how many different techniques they use.

I used some new products I purchased during Black Friday (shh) I knew I just had to purchase the penguin stamp sets that The Stamps of Life came out with! They are so darn cute and add the right amount of fun to my card. I also used the new diamond builder stencil from Concord & 9th. This works a lot like the turnabout stamps so there will be more cards coming with this stencil!!

I am so happy with the way this card turned out.  I used ink to make the purple cardstock and then cut my sentiment out of it. I can't wait to create more backgrounds with that stencil and see just what I can get out of it!!

Coffee and Friends

Good morning!! I've been enjoying playing with some new items this past week and I have to say that this Coffee Blend stamp and die set from Concord & 9th is one of my favorite new finds!!

I used a color challenge from over at Stampnation and created this card.  I had so much fun using my ink pads to create matching background paper for the front as well as the inside.  I can't wait for my friend to get it and show her how much she's been helping me over the last few weeks!!

I almost forgot to take a picture of this card!! I had the envelope all addressed, stamped and sealed. I had to make a decision to either not get the pic or lose the stamp. I decided to lose the stamp lol!!

I used it's a girl and green tea Catherine pooler inks to create the colored cardstock. I love how doing this gives me an  exact match to my cards!! Her inks make it so easy to do this!!

Noel "Less is More #409"

How is everyone doing this December? Did you enjoy all the amazing crafty black Friday sales? I know I did lol. I think I went a bit overboard but hey, when do you ever get deals like that!?

I spent most of my cash at Catherine Pooler's site.  I love her products and a lot of the items she had on sale were things I've been wanting but just couldn't get.  I combined one of my new stamps/die sets with a great sketch from Less Is More. This was a bit of a challenge to get a triangle shape.

These are the two sketches to choose from. I choose the first one and put my triangle at the bottom of my card.

I love how this card turned out.  It's not what I was going to do at first but it just came together.
