Easter Blessings


Just a quick post. I made this Easter card using one of the monthly Verve sketches. I didn't get a chance to post before Easter. We were able to spend Easter with family which always makes it fun.

paper: Cosmo Cricket - Garden Variety Mini Deck; PTI - Vintage Cream
ink:  Memento - Rich Cocoa;

Thank you friend


Sweet and simple! I'm always needing thank you cards so a easy design means I can make it quick if needed.


My background stamps are getting more of a work out since I'm using them on banners. Especially since I don't have to worry so much about lining them up!!! :) 

Thanks for visiting!! ~Rhonda

Easter Blessings


The PTI tag-its #1 stamps are PERFECT for making the M&M treat bags. A friend came over to borrow my goodies to make these cuties. Won't these be adorable for Easter baskets??


I love how the butterfly fits so perfectly. ~Rhonda

Have you noticed that BIG bows are all the rage??? Since I have short hair and no little girls, this trend has not applied to me but a big bow on a card I can do!! and a big bow needs some additional bling. This Verve Joshua verse is perfect for a little house embellishment.

But I didn't stop with one house as I pulled the shrink plastic out and used the PTI Handmade with Love dies to create additional charms. I used my Copic markers to "paint" them.


If you try your hand at some charms, let me know so I can see! ~Rhonda

supplies:
stamps: Verve - Plain Jane Joshua 24:15
paper: Crate Paper - Restoration; PTI - Vintage Cream
ink: Versamark
other: PTI - Love Lives Here dies, Ocean Tides ribbon, natural twine, tag sale die #3; clear embossing powder

Happy Birthday!


Can you tell that I fell in LOVE with October Afternoon's Seaside paper? PTI's Make a Wish dies make birthday cards especially easy to do. 


Am I the only one that almost never used white as a card base anymore? I seem to gravitate to the cream. The sentiment stamped on its side is a nice change of pace.

Thanks for visiting! ~Rhonda

stamps: PTI - Simple Sentiments,

Friendship



I have really had fun making myself work with LOTS of patterned paper. Even several weeks ago I don't think I could have pulled this off but it seems to be clicking this week. This card was inspired by the fact that my hubby and I leave today for a CRUISE!! white sand beaches and sunny days here we COME!!!


I love the little boy in this paper. Friend is stamped on the PTI double ended banner die and the sweet ship is Verve's Text Objects paper pieced.


I like the friendship quote stamped on the yellow floral. "There are big ships and small ships. But the best ship of all is friendship. Friendship is the golden thread that ties the heart of all the world". - John Evelyn


I hope you have a wonderful weekend! If blogger cooperates I have a few scheduled posts for next week! ~Rhonda

He has made Everything . . .


Happy Monday everyone!!! Purple, yellow, and a beautiful green makes me think SPRING!!! All my trees are budding or already out. Their leaves are my favorite lime green early spring color.


My card is based on the 1st April Verve sketch for the month as well as PTI's Make it Monday #8 and #9!! I didn't get the card posted in time for #8 blending but was pleasantly surprised that #9 is heat embossing which I did as well.


For my blending, I used PTI's spring moss, lemon tart, and plum pudding. I then used clear embossing for my Plain Jane Verve flower. I love the added texture that this provides for the sentiment. ~Rhonda


supplies:
stamps: Verve - Plain Jane Ecclesiastes 3:11, Plain Jane flower
paper: Cosmo Cricket - Pixie-lious, PTI Vintage Cream, Simply Chartreuse, Egg Hunt collection
ink: PTI Spring Moss, Lemon Tart, Plum Pudding; Memento - Rich Cocoa; Versamark

Rejoice!



Happy April Fool's Day Everyone!!!! Any pranks at your house?

What makes you think of SPRING??? Butterflies, flowers, bunnies? This month the Verve Team has dared us to make a card, project, layout, or whatever fits our stamping style using this month's theme - Color Me Spring!




Easter is one of the hallmark's of spring for me. This year it falls on the latest possible date: April 25. Only once in the past 100 years—in 1886—has it been so late. It will not happen again in this century.


I just received my Everlasting Life set from Verve with this wonderful sentiment. I love the impression plate with the royal velvet paper.

I also made this ATC for my growing collection. This is were I start when I'm having mojo trouble. The slighter smaller size seems to be an easier place to start on some days. 



I hope you have a wonderful weekend. I'm packing for my upcoming cruise!!!  ~Rhonda

supplies:
stamps: Verve - Everlasting Life, Thoughtful Florals
paper: Cosmo Cricket - Pixie-licioius; PTI - Royal Velvet, Vintage Cream
