Paper Sweeties Plan Your Life Series-April 2019!

Paper Sweeties Plan Your Life Series-April!

Hi, Friends!

Happy April 1st!

As you can see above with my planner, it is almost time for Easter!  Abigail is in her Easter outfit looking so sweet searching for eggs to fill her basket.

Once again, I used the set (Sweet Cuts-Planner Series: All Occasions) that was released recently for the gifts to remind me of birthdays.  The bright colorful paper is from Sunny Studio.

 I have two posts today, so please scroll down to see my DRU card, too!

Here is a closer view of the first page...

Abigail 's polka dot outfit was made using the set Jelly Bean Time.  Her Easter basket is from the set Planner Series: All Occasions.  The bunnies, flowers, smiley face, and eggs are from the set Planner Series: Happy Icons.  The Planner Series: Everyday Basics stamped to remind me of my meeting days are perfect! And, the heart on the 15th to remind me of my doctor appointment is from the set Planner Series: Appointments.


And, now a closer peek at my second page...

The planner stamps that I used on the pages are Planner Series: Happy Icons, Planner Series: All Occasions, Planner Series:Checklist, Planner Series: Everyday Basics, Planner Series: Business Basics, Planner Series: Appointments, Planner Series: Wedding, and Planner Series: Get Your Craft On

I had lots of fun decorating my planner for  April!  

I hope you

Dies R Us Challenge-April 1, 2019(Use dies by the companies carried at the DRU Store)

Hi, Friends!

It's time for another Dies R Us Challenge.  Happy Fool's Day(April 1st)!  I think back on times when I was working and one nurse that I worked with loved to pull jokes on us.  She used to tape the toilet paper down, put newspaper in our shoes, and even sewed the doctor's pants together, ha!  Those were the days!  I hope you all have a fun day today!

Well, I'm here to share with you my card for the Dies R Us Challenge!  The theme is (Use dies by the companies carried at the Dies R Us Store)!  Come join in on the fun and have a chance to win a gift certificate!  Enjoy creating!

I decided to make a birthday card for my my sister.

And, here is the card...

For my card, I started with a  purple card base.  The flower is from Memory Box.  It is one of my favorite flower dies.  The dainty lace edgers are from Sue Wilson.  The background paper is from Our Daily Bread Designs.  And, the sentiment is from PTI.  Dots and ribbon to finish the card.  

 All dies that were used for my card with links are listed below.  I hope you create a project using dies and join us for the challenge!

Easter...

Hi, Friends

I'm back again with more Easter cards to share.  I've made about twenty cards this year to send to family and friends.  It's a good thing I had these made up ahead of time because I've had bad news lately regarding several of my friends.  And, when you have a heavy heart, some times you don't feel like creating.  Ann and Erica recently had husbands who passed away quite suddenly.  And, my friend, Cheryl, called me Thursday to tell me that she has cancer.  My heart is very heavy at this time.  I know God has a plan and has control of all things, but you and I know it is so difficult at times.  So, friends, if you would please keep these dear sweet ladies in your prayers, I would appreciate it....thank you!

Ok, first up is my card using a technique that is new to me.  I saw it on Rachel's blog here...Rachel Alvarado(The Unpampered Stamper).   She described how to do the "tunneling" effect.  It gives great depth for your project.  Once again, I used the Sunny Studio stamp set(Easter Wishes) for my cards.  I used distress ink for the sky and colored the images with copics.  A ribbon to finish the card.

Next up,  is my card using the negative of a MFT die from the set Blueprints 19.  Distress inks were applied with a brush for the sky and grass.  Copics were used for the images.  And, just for interest a border with distress inks around the edges. 

And, for my final card using the same stamp set, I embossed a section of the card and applied gems.  A very simple card, but just something different.  The sentiment is hidden behind the fold. 

A view of the inside of the card...

Well, that's all for now until Monday when I reveal my April planner pages for Paper Sweeties.  Please take good care, my friends, and have a wonderful weekend! 

Hugs!!

Easter...

Hi, Friends!

Last month I showed you a sneak peek of an Easter card as seen below. 

And, this view is the full reveal...

I couldn't resist this sweet Easter set from Sunny Studio this year for my Easter cards.  So many darling images!  It was lots of fun coloring them with my copics.  The background was made using distress inks.  The scalloped panel is from MFT.  I'm entering this card over at Simon Says where the challenge theme is "CUTE". 

Next up, is a card using the same images, but using zig markers.  And, Perfect Pearls Mist in turquoise for interest.  Dots to finish the card.

Thanks so much for dropping by and viewing my cards today!  I hope you have an awesome day!  Take care! Hugs!!
