Ping Pong

Last Saturday was my 17th Wedding Anniversary and I wanted to make a fun card to go with the fun gifts for my husband. We love playing ping pong together and play most nights after dinner so I bought him a funny ping pong t-shirt and matching mug and some new balls. I don't own any ping pong stamps so I paper pieced a paddle and ball and printed the sentiment from my computer...

Thanks!

Today's card was made for a couple of reasons. I needed some thank you cards for people at my husbands work and so I used the Operation Write Home sketch challenge this week to give me inspiration!

I needed a couple of feminine cards and five masculine cards and here's what I created...I used the stripey paper as my inspiration for the masculine card on a navy coloured base.
I decided to go with a classic black and white colour combination for the women...

Wild Thing Challenge!

Operation Write Home's mid week challenge this week was "Wild Thing"...we had to think of animals we might see at the zoo, in the jungle or on a safari! That was the easy part! I don't own any 'wild' animal stamps....I have lots of cute mice, hedgehogs, bunnies etc but they don't exactly fit the "Wild Thing" theme but then I remembered when I had some of my designs made into acrylic stamps last year I had drawn one with a monkey and although it's a cute, smiling monkey I think it still fits the theme!!!

Peace

Hi...I made today's card for this week's Sister in Christ Challenge. The challenge was to make a card about prayer and/or peace. The stamp I used is one of my own designs that I had made into an acrylic stamp last year. If you would like to see a few more of my designs click HERE. I chose the designer paper first and then coloured the stamp to match. I printed the verse from Romans 15:13 on my printer to finish the card.

Here's a close up of the stamp....

Warm Wishes

Warm Wishes is another one of my original stamp designs. To make the scalloped corners I used a scallop border punch and I coloured a couple of the flowers with Color Box Fluid Chalks to match the patterned paper. I always keep white paper flowers handy because they are so easy to colour to match the card your making.....saves buying tons of different colours. You can colour them, paint them, sponge them, airbrush them...with chalks, watercolours, pencils, markers, and stamp pads etc and they always look great!

More Blessings for Easter

Hello.....and thank you so much for stopping by my Blog today. I thought I would share another Easter card....I'm sure there will be many before Easter as I've been busy making them. This card features one of my original stamp designs that I had made into acrylic stamps last year. I do love pink and brown together! I also really like the look of the layered flowers in different colours and styles.

Happy Valentine's Day!

I hope you are all having a lovely Valentine's Day. The last Valentine's card I'm going to share with you this year features a stamp designed by me...a Lone Pine Designs original! Last year I sent a few of my designs to a company who made clear unmounted stamps out of them. I was impressed by the idea but not impressed with the outcome. I really like the traditional red rubber stamp as they stamp much clearer and are easier to keep clean. Anyway, this stamp is perfect for Valentine's Day so I thought I would make a card with it.

I stamped the design on white cardstock and then again on the patterned paper. I cut out the heart from the patterned paper and glued it to the image on the white cardstock. I then coloured around the border with a matching Copic marker, mounted it on co-ordinating patterned paper and tied with a lovely, white silk bow.
