FTL62 - Hello, Sunshine

Happy World Card Making Day! Hope your day has been a fun one! This is what I came up with using the most recent Fall-to Layout Sketch. I started with an Aqua Mist card base, then added a 4 1/4" x 5 1/2" piece of patterned paper. I scalloped a strip of Aqua Mist CS with my Fiskars Embossed Curve Punch after stamping it with Versamark ink polka dots. To finish up, I added some ribbon, stamped and punched out the sentiment, then added a couple rhinestones.

Supplies:

Stamps - Handwritten Notes, Polka Dot Basics 2

Ink - Versamark, Smokey Shadow

Paper - Aqua Mist, Vintage Cream, My Mind's Eye Ooh La La

Miscellaneous - Summer Sunrise Grosgrain Ribbon, Modern Label Punch, Light Aqua Rhinestones, Fiskars Embossed Curve Punch

Fall to Layout #62 Merry Christmas

Here is my sample for the FTL62 sketch. I used patterned papers from Making Memories Fa La La 8x8 pad. The ribbon is from American Crafts and the button is from PaperTrey. The sentiment is a Melissa Frances rub on. This is a very quick card to make! Supplies: Paper - PaperTrey Vintage Cream CS, Making Memories Fa La La; Misc - Melissa Frances Rub-on, American Crafts ribbon, paperTrey button, EK Success Border Punch

Fall-to Layout 62

**By the way, the punch used to make the large scallops is called Embossed Scallops, it's by EK Success. I got mine at Michaels** I am actually organized this week and typing this Thursday night. I don't know why, but last week I was just short on time. I'm still in pretty much the same boat this week, but I have a cold, so I'm not doing anything else. Seems like a good time for card making right! And I intend to do a whole lot more this weekend. I have a list to make 16 birthday cards and a few upcoming DT projects.
Anyway, on to the sketch! This one was taken from my little book o'sketches. I'm thinking it was inspired by a Dawn McVey original, but I'm not certain.
I wanted showcase some of this fun holiday paper. I adhered the patterned paper to my card base, scalloped a bit of textured red paper, added a sentiment, and a bit of gold ribbon. Very quick and fun!

Ten Minute Monday

Here's a quick, colourful birthday card for this week's ten minute Monday. I stamped and coloured a monster from Silly Monsters. The background was made by embossing the Pebbles plate onto pink cardstock, then attaching that to white cardstock and cutting out that whole piece with Labels 8. I added a bit of ribbon, the monster, and a sentiment and put it all together on a black card base.
