Hello. I'm playing in the Freshly Made Sketch today with this card.


The background paper is one that I created using chatGPT.  I'm having a lot of fun creating junk journal papers and components using AI.  More to come in the future on that.

Anyway, back to the project at hand.  The sentiment is stamped from Gina K Designs and stamped on vellum.  I cut it out using the same rounded square die and then put it through my Xyron to create a sticker so that I could adhere it without the glue being visable.

The butterfly on the top right is an old die from Memory Box.  Add a few mini black pearls for added interest and called it good.

Thanks for stopping by.



     
 


Happy Holidays

Hello. Here is another card for the 2026 Fall Winter Coffee Lovers blog hop.


The holiday coffee/hot choco/tea stamp is from Pretty Pink Posh.  The big snowflake behind it is from Lawn Fawn and the sentiment is from Carta Bella.  I used a 3D embossing folder on the white main panel and stuck it down to a navy card base.

Thanks for stopping by.




     
 


Spread your wings - TSOT#708

Hello and welcome back to another sketch challenge over at Try a Sketch on Tuesday.



I created the top left and bottom right designer paper myself using a variety of stamps, paint and inks.  The butterfly is a very old one from the former Angel Company.  I used Copic markers to color it.  the sentiment is from MFT stamps.

Here is the link to play along in our challenge. 




     
 


Coffee inspired - You're cool beans!

Hello! I'm playing in the 2026 Fall Winter Coffee Lovers Blog Hop with a few cards.


First up is this cluster inspired card.  I dusted off my paper crimper to mimic a sleave and then built it up from there.

Stamps and dies:
Gina K Designs - you're cool beans
Stampin Up! - established: 1873
Darkroom Door - coffee beans
Innovative stamp creations - No.87
Whimsy stamps - postage

The second one:


The ledger designer paper is from Craft Consortium.  Coffee ring stamp is from Altenew.  The daily grind sentiment and the little coffee cup are from Sweet Stamp Shop.  The paper pad die is from Papertrey Ink and the lines were stamped with an old red rubber background die from MFT.

Thanks for stopping by.




     
 

Happy Christmas

Hi all - here is another card using the current sketch over at Freshly Made Sketches.


I created a little mountain scene with this one.  

Sky is ink blended with tumbled glass oxide. I believe the mountain dies are from My Favorite Things as are the little trees, they've been in my stash for a long time.  The bigger trees on the right and the house is fron Gina K Designs.  The sentiment stamp is from Simon Says Stamp.

Added a bit of smoke to the chimney using a pinch off a cotton ball. I added snow to the tops of the mountains using a gel pen then smoothed it out using a glitter brush pen.  The snowflake and trees out the perimeter are dusted with the same glitter brush.

Thanks for stopping in.
