New York Themed Cards!

A little unknown tidbit about me :)  I was raised in California, but I'm originally from New York. Although I don't recall much about living in N.Y., I still have some family there and affection for the state.  I would also love to visit some day. 

Anyway, a good friend  of my mothers, recently traveled there for a wedding and had asked me to create, a New York skyline, wedding card and here's what I came up with!

   

Oh and just for fun... Let's not forget a somewhat traditional I ♥ New York card!!!   

Happy Monday!

"My thoughts are with you always"

On April 7th my Dear Granny Phyl passed away, just 3 days after her 83rd birthday.  She was a kind loving soul and will miss her dearly. Her beautiful laughter will live on in my heart forever.

♥♥♥

This is the card I created for her daughter, my Aunt Patty.

I've hand-cut the card base, clouds and mountains. I u

sed Copics to color in the "Green Grass" image by Stamps Happen, Inc. and then fussy cut the image, leaving out the original sentiment and adding "My thoughts are with you always" in the clouds. I've also added a pretty little ribbon, lots of stitching and layers, as well. 

Thanks for visiting... Wishing you all a wonderful week.

Hugs,

Hope your Birthday is a Blast...

OK... So it's been ages since I've posted and that's because I have a ton going on here. 

When I have too much on my plate, I tend to lack creatively.  

Which helps explains my recent card-lifting, (I normally don't), but I felt compelled to recreate this wonderful little gem, by the lovely and oh so talented Michele Kovack over at Thoughts of a Cardmaking Scapbooker!  

Thank you for the inspiration Michele. xo

A Little Touch Of Raspberry!

Hey there!  I hope your day is going well.  I can't complain, the sun is finally out and I love the sunshine. So, today I just wanted to share a little something I came up over the weekend. 

The stamp used on the tree is by Rubber Stampede & it's called Holiday Pear collage. The  tag  is stamped w/ a 1992 Stampin' Up stamp.

Cartridges used...

Cricut Craft Room Basics:  Trees & Card base (2"x3" rectangle, not the edging)

Elegant Edges:  Snowflake Boarder (card base edging)

Art Philosophy:  Tag

Ribbons & Rosettes:  Scallop 1 & Tree Boarder 1x3 (envelope decor)

The tree is wrapped from front to back.  Oh and I can never resist using bells, which I've tied to the tag on the front of the card!

Some details...

The white tree is stamped with Versa Mark Watermark (clear) and then embossed with Stamp-n Stuff black embossing powder, for a rich black patent look. Edges inked with TH Black Soot.  I created the card base in CCR, using Elegant Edges and CCR Basics (pieces mentioned above, welded together)  The papers I used: Bazzill card stock (black), Making Memories (raspberry double stripe), GP 110 pound card stock (white)  

Hope you like it :):):)
