2Sketches 4 you - #39 - You're so sweet!

Good Morning Everyone!!!

Its Monday and that means its time for another lovely sketch challenge from 2 Sketches 4 You! Today, Kazan brings us this awesome sketch #39 for the challenge - I love these sketches because there are so many different possibilities that you can do with this :)

Our sponsor this week is DRS designs - which has a ton of products for rubber stamping and more! For my card this week, I got to play with this beautiful circle Lily. I stamped it twice in Memento Tuxedo and then colored both stamps in with copics and then popped it on dimensionals and then cut the whole circle out. The ribbon is folded accordian style with tacky tape and then I added a little Zip dry for it to stay in place :)

Card Ingredients:

Paper: Basic Grey

Ink: Rose Bud Memento and Tuxedo Black

Stamps: DRS designs (circle lily) and Verve stamps: Delightful and Delicious

Accessories: butterfly punch (martha), circle punches, spellbinders, tacky tape, corner rounder, liquid peals, pearl bling, sponger

Check out the amazing cards by the Winter design team over at 2 Sketches 4 You!!! They are simply exquisite!!! And play along with us if you have a chance, and there is some yummy blog candy for one lucky person - check out all the details over here!

Verve-alicious Tea Tray Project Set

Good Morning Everyone!!! Happy 9-9-09!

Today I am so excited to be part of the Verve Project Parade where the theme is Hostess Gifts!  A HUGE thank you to Shannan Tuebner for all her help this morning with getting pictures up  (you are a life saver and you totally ROCK chica!) For my project today, I decided to use one of my fave sets -  I love the Cup of Life Verve stamp set and so created a little Tea Tray full little Tea Goodies. This tray has Tea Leaves in a little tin can ( I love tin cans!), tea cup with strainer for drinking tea at home, a travel mug French press for drinking tea on the go and a set of notecards (I was going to include some cookies - but I ate all of those! lol!) . Here is a picture of the Tea Tray Gift Set:

Here is a picture of the notecard set - it comes with 5 cards that say "Just for You" with a matching envelopes. I used this week's Mojo Monday sketch #103 for the card: 

I also used a tag punch to create little tags for the French Press, cup and tea tin: It was so fun and easy and most of all made something very simple feel yummy :) Here are some pictures of the tags that I created:

The same tag goes for the cup. And lastly - one of my fave things to do is to take some unfinished wood and paint and stamp on it. After finishing - you just add a clear lacquer (I chose a gloss finish) and it protects the wood. Here is a picture of the tea tray - I painted it goosefeather, burnt umber and azul blue and then used the Bountiful backgounds polkadots, the sentiment from Delightful and Delicious and the teacups from a Cup of Life to create this little tray: 

Project Details:

I hope you have been enjoying all the lovely projects!!! And not to worry, there are more projects coming in the next days!!! A huge thank you to Julee for this amazing honor to be part of Verve! I am still pinching myself!!! Have a wonderful, delightful and delicious day!

2 Sketches 4 You - Laura's sketch #34 - All the Goodness of Life

Good Morning Everyone,

Its time for another new sketch from 2 Sketches 4 You and today Laura has an awesome sketch #34 for us to play with. This week's sponser over at 2 Sketches 4 You is Scor It and I was so excited to work with my Scor-it because it was my first time using it!!! (You can check out the wonderful gallery of projects and ideas at www.scorit.com it is seriously packed with inspiration!!! ) It kind of looked a little intimidating to work with - but then once I started scoring things - I couldn't stop - I actually had to say to myself - "you have to put the scorer down - just walk away".... What I found out is that it is SOOO much fun to score and make such wonderful designs and even a way to create envelopes!! Awesome!!!

I scored my card every quarter inch both horizontally and vertically to create a little grid and scored a little design on the envelope for a little fun :)

Card Details:

Paper: Teresa Collins

Ink: Stazon Black

Stamps: Delightful and Delicious from Verve

Accessories; Ribbon from stash,  pearls from K&Company, spellbinders, circle cutter from CM, scallop punch from Martha

I am so inspired by the Scor It - I can't wait to try and create more projects from it !!!

THanks for stopping by and Hope you have a chance to play along with us!

Happy Monday!

Sankari :)
