Sunday Switcheroo

Thanks again for joining, yesterday I was the Saturday Spotlight Artist from the Card Sketch a Day blog (be sure to pop over there and read my interview!), today the blog owner, Susan draws a sketch from the cards I have created...and here they are:

This first card I used the Love Birds image from Digital Stamp Oasis (have you been there yet? Fabulous, FABULOUS images...they are all too cute!). I printed this image out on my printer and then colored them in with colored pencils and gamsol (and I used really cheap pencils...those Rosearts from WM). I then cut them out with my Nestabilities Circle and then cut out a Nestabilities Scallop to put them on!
I mounted them on my card sticking about 1/2 off...the card is a square 4 1/4" X 4 1/4" and the part sticking out makes the card 4 1/4" by 5 1/2" so it will fit in a regular A2 envelope! I got this idea originally from Michelle Wooderson and she calls these Table Tent cards (like you'd see at restaurants).
I added ribbon and my sentiment towards the bottom...recipe is below the card, make sure you see all THREE!
Recipe:

• Stamp: Digitial Stamp Oasis
• Paper: Paperabilities, SU (cardstock)
• Dies: Nestabilities Circle and Scallop, EK Success Circle, SU Scallop
• Other: Ribbon, Brad, Colored Pencils, Gamsol

This card was really fun to make, I made my own dp on this one! I used H & M's Coffee's Brewin' set. I stamped my dp and mounted it (both pieces), then I stamped the coffee cup 3 times onto watercolored paper, colored and then cut out two cups and one of the hearts. I then punched a heart out of water colored paper and colored that also. I added Martha Stewart Lace border and some ribbon and then mounted my large heart and coffee cups. I then stamped my sentiment and cut it out with my Nestabilities Labels 1 die (both sentiment and backing paper), embossed them and then mounted them and pop dotted the small heart.

Recipe:

• Stamps: H & M Coffee's Brewing
• Ink: Tim Holtz
• Paper: Watercolored, Joann's
• Punches: Nestabilities Label 1, Martha Stewart Lace Border and Heart
• Other: Ribbon

Here's my last card (again some of my blog followers have seen this one also)...this is actually the first card I made. I added my papers, my lace border and ribbon, stamped my sentiment and floral motif, cut out using Nestaabilites and mounted on the top of the card. I threaded a ribbon through my button holes and added that to the bottom...quick and easy!

Recipe:

• Stamps: Inkadinkado Heartfelt
• Ink: Staz On, Martha Stewart
• Paper: DCWV Nana's Nursery
• Punch: Martha Stewart Lace Border
• Dies: Nestabilities Oval and Scalloped Oval
• Ribbon: American Crafts
• Button: Unknown

Thank you for joining me again today! I hope you enjoyed the cards as much as I did making them...and see how different one sketch can look!
