Ten Minute Monday and a Question

First up, here's a fun and quick card. I really love how vibrant pigment inks show up on kraft cardstock! I think the card is pretty straight forward (most ten minute cards are!), but if you have any questions about it, let me know! Now, I have a question for you. If I were to start posting videos:
1) Is that something you'd like to see?
2) What would you want the videos to be about (it seems like everything has been done!)
Supplies: Stamps: Star Prints, Petal Power, In & Out: Baby (PTI) Ink: Colorbox Moss Green, Peacock, Stampin' Up Chocolate Chip, PTI Fresh Snow Paper: White, Kraft Accessories, etc.: Star Punch

FTL 78 Sympathy Card

I made this card for one of our SCS stamper friends, Shannan Teubner, who lost her husband unexpectedly last weekend. I like this clean and uncluttered design for a sympathy card. The flower was stamped twice, one was cut out with a Nestability. I cut only the middle portion of the second image and popped it up with foam tape on the first image for dimension. I also stamped and cut out the leaf. I chose these colors for Sharon Johnson's Stamp Simply 126- to use purple and green.
Supplies: Stamps - PaperTrey In Bloom, With Sympathy; Ink - Versamagic Chalk ink, SU! Sage Shadow; Paper - PaperTrey, Black Market; Misc - Corner rounder, Nestabilities, Foam Tape

Fall-to Layout 78

Here's this week's sketch.

Some measurements based on my version of the sketch:
Old Olive- 4-1/4x5-1/2

Chocolate Chip- 3-3/4x5

So Saffron- 3-5/8x4-7/8

Patterned Paper- 1x4-7/8

The little houses and matching paper from this year's Sale-a-bration are so cute. I just had to pair them together for the sketch! Stamps are from Good Neighbours and PTI's Board and Beams. If you play along, please leave a link below to your post!

FTL77 - Hope Your Day is Fabulous















Hi everyone! Hope you're having a great Monday! :)

This card was created using last Friday's Fall-to Layout #77. LOL, I must've changed my mind at least three times when deciding on what image to place in the lower right corner. Large flourish? No... Leafy flourish? No... Leafy stems? No... LOL, and I wonder why I can't whip cards out? :)

Have a great one!

Instructions:
  • Create 3 1/2" x 6" card base using white CS.
  • Cut 1 3/4" strip of patterned paper and adhere to card base.
  • Stamp pink leaf image and brown sentiment on card base.
  • Add ribbon and tie bow.
  • Embellish with rhinestones.

Supplies:
Stamps - Turning a New Leaf, Signature Greetings
Ink - Raspberry Fizz, Dark Chocolate
Paper - Rustic White, Raspberry Fizz Bitty Dot
Miscellaneous - Brown Rhinestones, Melon Berry Grosgrain Ribbon
