Sending Thanks - MFTWS #179

Saturday, June 7, 2014


My inspiration for this card is the MFT Weekly Sketch #179. If you compare the sketch you will notice I loosely followed it. I tried another paper behind the typewriter but it felt too busy. So clean and simple is where I stayed. 


The sketch got me stamping so I consider that a BIG win! Have a great weekend. ~Rhonda

A Better Place

Saturday, February 8, 2014

Papertrey Ink has a Monthly Moments Trading Card Challenge!!!  Based on the old ATC trading card days, you are challenged to do something amazing with a 3x4 flat card!  Stamp it, layer it, embellish it any way you wish! 

 
I made my ATC into a card. I just couldn't leave it alone. I used PTI's Tag  Sale #5 as the base. My oldest son asked why I was making so many cards with black. I guess I'm loving the black pattern paper that I have in several paper pads. 



You can just barely see the Herringbone Impression plate at the top of the card. Have a great evening!

Thank You for ALL that you do!

Sunday, February 2, 2014


Are you watching the Super Bowl? Do you have a favorite commercial yet? I'm doing some crafting as I watch the big game. I loved the sketch from MFT Sketchy 161.
 

I changed the layout a little. You can see why from the picture below. I had cut some pieces from the gray dotted paper and that was my LAST piece and it was the PERFECT paper for the card.


I used MFT's Hybrid Camellia Flower die for my round element. LOVE it! 

So far my favorite commercial has been the Silverado Pickup with the Bull and I Believe in Miracles music! Perfect for this Texas girl!!! Enjoy the game!

Thank You card

paper: PTI - Stamper's Select White; MME - Cut & Paste Flair; Authentique - Lovely

Boo!

Thursday, October 31, 2013

 
Are you dressing up for Halloween? What is your favorite candy? Do you decorate big time? Our neighborhood gets together for hot dogs and chili before the kids start knocking on doors. It is a great time to connect before everyone starts winter hibernation. 


I used BB:textstyle II on my typing paper to add a little interest and then put the block alphabet letters on top. 


Some distress ink around the edges of the typewriter die toned down the bright white. What do you think about my cheesecloth spider web? I much prefer this one to the real thing. Be safe. ~Rhonda

happy Birthday

Thursday, April 11, 2013


A quick and easy Birthday card today. The little flag dies are from MFT. It seemed like the perfect thing to pair with the fun happy font stamp. The 3rd flag is actually a hybrid of PTI's double ended banner die and MFT flag so it would have the hole at the top for the brad and be long enough for the sentiment. I can see using this layout again with more masculine colors. 


We planted tomatoes this weekend and now we are worried about a light freeze.  Come on spring!! Anyone else ready for warmer temps? Have a great week!


happy card
stamps: MFT - Birthday sentiments; PTI - Tweet Talk, Birthday Bash Sentiments
paper: Crate Paper - Story Teller; PTI - Kraft
ink: PTI - Enchanted Evening

Love You - January 2013 PTI Blog Hop

Friday, January 25, 2013

 

It's time once again for the Papertrey Ink Blog Hop. The challenge is to turn our creativity towards black! You can see what everyone is creating at Nicole Heady's blog here. I starting by pulling out anything that I thought would work for a Valentine theme. I had a pretty big mess going as you will see.

 First up is a card that uses the chalkboard technique. This was my first time to try this and it certainly won't be my last. I had FUN! This is great for using stamps from lots of different sets.


  
This second card uses black as one of the main elements. The tiny envelope is bursting with hearts. 


 Do you like the way I tied my heart?


My last card again used the blackboard technique. Have you picked up Authentique's Lovely Collection paper pad yet? Great papers.


The X & O's are from the Papertrey Ink border die. I also used the In the Meadow die for the heart paper behind the sentiment layer.
 

This last picture shows ALL the fun I will be having as I clean my craft room. If you look closely at the picture you might spy my new die storage. If you are interested I will be posting more about it on Monday, January 28th. So stop back by. 


Happy Hopping! ~Rhonda

Today is the first day

Wednesday, January 9, 2013

I love this sentiment. This is one you could wake up saying each day. Would it change your day?

I used PTI's new Funky Florals set. I already had the notched flower dies and was happy to add stamps that matched. I put a little dot on the back of each of the flower stamps to help me line them up with the dies. 


Another die set that I am using alot is MFT's Fishtail Flags. The different sizes and the ease of cutting makes them a go-to item. 

Have a great day! ~Rhonda

stamps: MFT Clearly Sentimental New Beginnings; PTI Funky Florals, Turning a New Leaf

Thankful Thursday #46

Thursday, November 22, 2012


 
 

Thankful Thursdays are my opportunity to "Up My Gratitude." The goal is to make at least one card a week to thank someone. I LOVE when you play along by linking up below. I can't believe we have already had 46 Thursdays! Just a few more to go.   

Happy Blessed Thanksgiving to each of you!! I hope you are enjoying time with family and friends plus eating a few delicious desserts.  We are spending time with my husband's family.


 I have a simple card today. I had the background pieces left from previous cards just setting around. It always feel great to use them up! The flower is MFT's Plentiful Petals die. I LOVE this die! You can bend the petals to get lots of lift and movement. 


 The yellow frame is cut using PTI's Fabulous Frames collection. The sentiment is from PTI's Think Big #19. 

 If you made a card to thank your holiday host, I would love for you to play along. {HUG} your family and cherish the time you have together. ~Rhonda

Monday, January 31, 2011

Are you brave? Do you cut your stamps APART???? Do you have the Pure Innocence stamp Happy Mail? You might notice that the little girl is missing below. EEEKkkk! She wasn't hurt to make this card but I just wanted her MAILBOX!


I'm playing along with MFT. This month's challenge is called: A Recipe For Love!!! with these requirements:

Valentine's theme - check! lots of hugs and kisses
One Patterned Paper - check! Digi paper from Summertime Designs
Two Cardstock Colors(not including neutral base) - check! True Blk and Pure Poppy
Three Embellishments(three types, not just three of one thing) - check! Impression plate, sewing, seaming binding ribbon

I used the 1st February Verve sketch as my layout inspiration. 

I couldn't resist adding a matching mailbox that I had purchased from Target last year in the dollar spot. 


 I love the polka dots birds!


Thanks for stopping in! I LOVE to read your kind words! ~Rhonda

Favorite Things

Monday, January 17, 2011

I'm playing along with the MFT Wednesday Stamp Club that is based on a sketch. Details here!! I have seen several Valentines in NON traditional colors, so I thought I would try.

This die and stamp set are some of My FAVORITE Things! I like the shape and there are lots of sentiments.

Can you see the glossy accents on the little Valentines? Just the needed POP. ~Rhonda

Little Ladies

Wednesday, November 3, 2010

Yesterday I met 5 of my sweet "Z's" friends for a stamping party. "Z" helped to pick out the projects and the colors earlier last week. We created 3 projects that kept everyone's attention. The girls were so focused and did a great job. They used the Big Shot to cut out dies and the Crop A Dile to punch holes. Girls of all ages like to play with gadgets.

"Z" setting up the first project, M & M tubes. 


Group photo with our completed projects. Look at those gorgeous SMILES!





A closeup of our projects. Don't you LOVE the PTI leaf die on the M&M tubes??? Did you spot the Verve Plain Jane verse on the card?



Everyone had fun! "Z" and I will need to collaborate more often. ~Rhonda

Grateful for You!

Tuesday, October 5, 2010

I have put together a couple of World Card Making Day challenges into this card. The sketch is based on Unscripted Sketches #75 and My Favorite Things - use a die-namics die on the project. 

MFT is participating in the "Hope You Can Cling To" card drive for breast cancer so I'll be sending this card to MD Anderson Cancer Center in Houston. My MIL lost her battle with breast cancer in March. She was a 30+ yr survivor. 


What are you grateful for today?? ~Rhonda

Inch by inch . . .

Friday, August 6, 2010

I'm playing along with the MFT Wednesday Stamp Club. This week is a sketch that is perfect for Who's that Garden Girl? You can get the details here. I also send this to the new challenge of Cards - A Summer Theme.


I originally stamped the "beans" with PTI's Spring Moss and then couldn't figure out why it looked odd. DAH! I needed to use a brown for the outline. So tried to line it up for the second go round and was a little off. I decided I really liked the look. Seemed a little more "artistic". What do you think? ~Rhonda



Supplies used:
stamps: MFT Who is that Garden Girl?
papers: Cosmo Cricket - Garden Variety, PTI - New Leaf, Vintage Cream
ink: Memento - Rich Cocoa, PTI - Spring Moss
other: Copic Markers, PTI Sunshine Impression Plate and Twine, Spellbinders circles small, Janome Sew Mini,
