Make It Monday #197: Homemade Foam Stickers

Hello!

I had a chance to watch PTI's Make it Monday video and after seeing it I was excited to participate. Laurie showed us how to make our own foam stickers using foam craft sheets or double sided foam adhesive. I had some foam sheets from the dollar store and so I got right to work! Here is my card:

My foam sheet was red so I decided to make some red letters. I diecut the PTI Bookprint Letters in both the red foam and some Pure Popply Cardstock. I mounted them on a diecut Scribbled Circle, that was cut from Berry Sorbet Cardstock and also added the "birthday" sentiment from PTI's KIS Birthday. The birthday sentiment was stamped in Versamark and then embossed in black on a velum banner. Lastly, I added everything to some Echo Park patterned paper and finished it off with some enamel dots.

I had bought these alphabet dies to use in my pocket scrapbooking but had not yet used them, So, I am linking this card up to a "new to me challenge" called NBUS.  Head over to check out the challenge and Darnell's supercute craft house!

Well, I guess that is all! I am off to watch some Parenthood. I quickly went through all 5 seasons on Netflix and am now watching Season 6 on VOD. It's a great show, so sad it will be over this year!

Hello!

I am popping in with a card I made for this week's Make it Monday. This week we focused on moving the focal point of your card from the center to the corner. Here is what I came up with:

Cards For Mom

Hello,

My parents were recently here visiting and my mom asked me if I had any birthday cards for her to take home with her....can you believe I did not have any in my stash?! Luckily, I had time to make a quick set of cards for her to take with her before she left.

I used my PTI Uncorked stamps, dies and word dies. I also used PTI's KIS Birthday stamp set to stamp "happy birthday" inside each card. I made two of each card and here they are:

I also used PTI's White and Raspberry Fizz cardstock along with SU's Old Olive ink and Smokey Slate cardstock.

Retrosketches #147

Hello!

I am back! It has been a loooong time since I have had anything new to share as I have honestly not had anytime to get crafty! December was a very busy month but it seems like life is returning to normal. I had a bit of time to make a card yesterday and so I decided to play along with this week's Retrosketches  challenge.

Here is this week's sketch:

And here is my card:

I had been itching to give my new PTI Uncorked stamps and dies a try so I decided to make a card with them. They are really cute! I used PTI's White and Sweet Blush cardstock as well as SU's Smokey Slate cardstock. This grey color from SU is new to me and I just love it....it is already going fast! I diecut the banner using PTI's Wine Bottle Tag Die and just trimmed off the top. Lastly, I added some Sparking Clear sequins from Pretty Pink Posh.
