Feeling Blue for a Sketch N Scrap Card Sketch Challenge

Good Morning and welcome. Today I have a Sketch N Scrap #90 Card Sketch Challenge for you and a fun sketch too.

 

 This is the Get Well Wishes card I made from the sketch:

 The umbrella paper in my 6X6 paper pad that is in my current CKC kit:Glacially Toasted worked out great for this card as it's cold season I'll be ready to send out a card. The wood veneer mushrooms were in my "Bash"ket along with the daisy sticker border paper so the card came together very simply and very fast :)

Brought the front elements of the card into the inside for a quick note before I send it off :)
Thank you for stopping by today and I look forward to seeing what you create for this fun sketch over at Sketch N Scrap

Cup of Soup Get Well Card

Hi you all and welcome back, I'm the designer today over at Card A Day Blog. I hope your enjoying seeing all the Get Well Cards, cause I sure have.
My card today makes me think of drinking a good hot cup of soup when I'm felling blue:

This card was made from 2 cuts with the Cricut Imagine machine.Love this machine especially when you need a quick printed die cut and a quick card. The card base is white and I had that on hand, I used a red card stock for one layer and a blue scrap I had for another layer. The tea cup and background was cut from the Word of Mouth imagine cartridge at 3.5" and the sentiment was cut at 2.75" with the bottom cut off and then popped up for dimension and this was cut from the The Good Old Days cart. I used a gel pen to highlight the steam, the leaves and the stitching around the card. This card was super easy to make!

Thanks for stopping by my little corner of the world and keep an eye out in February for some new projects, cards and layouts. I'm starting project life so I will have that to show and will be getting caught up with some of my smash pages. Have a fantastic day!

Feeling Sick?

Hi you all and welcome to my blog. I'm the designer today over at Card A Day Blog and the rest of this month the theme is Get Well Soon fitting, for cold & flu season.
A get well card can be a bit tricky to design, especially for the men. But I came across a cool cut and used it for this card:

 

 I always go to my cricut cartridges if I want to make a quick card and out of the 4 I pulled out to get something designed for this card I seen this cut on the Wild Card Cartridge. I knew that I wanted to make it for a man and the saying was perfect, lol doesn't the hubby milk it when they are sick? Mine sure does!

So the specifics on this card is: it's a 5" X 7" card the Wild Card cartridge can be a bit tricky to cut from, why you ask, well the icon is based on the size of the actual card and when I did the first cut of the milk bottle at 4.25" it was small and I had a feeling the letters wouldn't cut well. So I decided to bump it up and at 6" you see what I got a 3.25" milk bottle. I took that and did the shadow and also popped it up. The sentiment came for the stencil part of the cut and that was at full size it took 2 tries to figure that out then it dawned on me that it was actual size so I did that at 3.25" too. I choose a plaid background from the DCWV Stack 8 pack and to draw in some of the red from the plaid decided on the border that was punched with MS embossed zigzag punch, which gave it some cool texture.

I used some of the leftover pieces on the inside to tie it all together:

I thought it turned out well, I think a good friend or my great hubby will be getting this card the next time they are feeling a bit blue.
Thanks for stopping by and seeing what is going on in my little corner of the world.....

My First Card made for My First Swap

I joined the Creative Cuttlebuggers yahoo group and joined the 2011 mingle. The February mingle was to make a card in your favorite color. I used both of my favorite colors purple and gold, my cast on my wrist inspired me for the card. I belong to a few swaps and look forward to add the many cards that I will do over the year.
