Precious Moments – T 4 2

So! I had a ridiculous number of ideas for this week’s CASology Week 158 Challenge: Precious.

Here’s another card for this week’s challenge.

As soon as I saw the cue word last week, the ideas came flying into my mind that I thought my brain might fry! So, I decided to sit down and and put them into a cute new sketch book that I purchased at IKEA a few days previously. I paid about 2 Euro and some change for it and I’m enjoying using it. 🙂

I quickly sketched 8 different ideas for CASology’s cue word! You can see my initial idea for this card on the bottom left of my sketch book.

Then I got a peek at this week’s sketch from CTS. I changed my layout a little bit so that this card was also inspired by this week’s CAS(E) this Sketch.

The colors are from this week’s ColourQ Challenge #302.

I spent a lot of time stamping in my damp bathing suit this weekend and am so grateful for a lot of rain last night and some much cooler weather today! Thank you, Lord!

I’m going to play this card at CASology’s Week 158:Precious and CAS(E) This Sketch #135.

Thanks for stopping by!

Today I made a set of CAS Teacup cards. I used my Stampin’ Up Tea Shoppe large tea cup stamp. I really love playing with this image

   

 

 Sorry, these photos aren’t too great. It was about 100 F here today, we have had the Rolladens all closed up to keep the house cool. When I went outside the sun was blazing and I couldn’t wait to get into the relative coolness (no air conditioning) of the house. So it was a quick photo session!

I can’t decide which card I like the most. I really do like the pink version, but I’m going to play the black one over at CASology’s Week 158:Precious.

Tea – Almost for CTS

Today I have another tea-cup card to share with you.

I used a SU! stamp from the Tea Shoppe stamp set.

Wouldn’t you love to have a nice cup of tea and one of these?

I would! My family and I are going to be vacationing in Kent, England this Fall and I can’t wait to have a lovely scone with clotted cream and jam. Yum!

I’m going to play this at Virginia’s View Challenge #16: 100% Stamping, and SSS Monday’s Challenge: coffee or tea?

The design for this card was inspired by Leigh’s great sketch:

I was going to play this card at CTS, but I missed the link-up by about 1 minute!

I’m also going to share this at HLS’ CAS Challenge: Stamping.

2 Cups of Tea

Today I have another tea-cup card to share with you.

I used a SU! stamp from the Tea Shoppe stamp set.

After I stamped them, I heat embossed the cups.

I used an inked up embossing folder to stamp the background.

I added small heart stamps from a PTI stamp set.

I put a lot of stamping into this mixed media card.

It’s quite pink and girly, don’t you think?

That reminds me….speaking of pink & BLUE and Mixed Media, have you been over to The Mixed Media Card Challenge #13 {Blue}? If not, go on over and check it out!

I’m going to play this at Virginia’s View Challenge #16: 100% Stamping and SSS Monday’s Challenge: coffee or tea?

Repeat Tea, 2

Today I have a tea-cup card to share with you.

I used a SU! stamp from the Tea Shoppe stamp set. I stamped the background repeatedly with SU! Wisteria Wonder. Then I colored on the large stamp and fussy cut it out. The sentiment is from PTI’s Southwestern Style stamp set.

I’m going to play this at CASology’s :Week 154: REPEAT, Virginia’s View Challenge #16: 100% Stamping, and SSS Monday’s Challenge: coffee or tea?
