Think of You

Friday, April 5, 2013


Think of You is based on the first of 5 April sketches for Verve's Viva la Verve challenge. I actually completed all the March sketches and I am planning to do the same for April. Though I hope a little more timely.  I took a few liberties with Amber's sketch but am pleased with the result.


I loved being able to repeat the diagonal of the yellow stripe with the impression plate on my flag.  Blue and yellow just sing spring, don't ya think? ~Rhonda

I'm thinking of you . . . always!

Friday, August 24, 2012


I am playing along with Papertrey Ink's MIM #79 again! I had put spray adhesive on a lot of fabric so I am having a great time cutting it with my dies. I decided to create a little gift bag and card that I can use for a friend or teacher when I need just a small something. I'm thinking chocolate bar!

Did you happen to pick up the washi tape from Target that everyone was talking about earlier in the summer? I DID! It is so easy to cover clothespins, bags, etc. 


I stamped the Think Big sentiment with Stazon ink.

My card base is kraft. I used Mister Huey spray and a chicken wire stencil.




I love these little flowers and leaves cut from fabric. Notice the herringbone impression plate swiped with a little Simple Chartreuse ink.




I thought it would be fun to add a little twine with the red ribbon. Kinda girly I think.

This card makes me smile and I can't wait to give it to someone special. Maybe I need to make a banner too.


Enjoy your weekend friends! ~Rhonda

Card and Die Tip

Monday, September 12, 2011

I LOVE Grey! I mixed it with soft blue and it makes me smile. I made a happy discovery. The Verve Classy Label die is a perfect complement to the PTI Half and Half die. The curve matches perfectly.


How about a great die idea? I recently purchased a magnetic knife holder at IKEA for $8.99. This is a great tool. Right now it is just sitting on my desk. The magnet is SO strong that I can sweep over the top of my desk and all those little dies that got buried just hop onto the strip. I had several projects going on at once and obviously had not taken the time to put the dies away. Perfect containment solution.

Thanks for visiting today!

stamps: PTI Half and Half
paper: PTI - Smokey Shadow; Brazzill - Ash; blue  - stash; Paper Studio - BoHo Chic
ink: PTI - Spring Rain; SU - Going Grey

Thinking of You

Friday, September 9, 2011

I'm playing along with Papertrey Ink's Make It Monday #31 - Creating Backgrounds with Non-background stamps. This is not something I've spent much time doing but I had fun playing with some different stamps to see what I could come up with.


Can you guess what stamps I used?? I used Bundle of Love and the explanation point from Wonderful Words. I kept the focus on the background by using a sentiment from Simple Sentiments on a banner die cut.

Have a great weekend friends!!

supplies:
stamps: PTI - Bundle of Love, Wonderful Words Additions, Simple Sentiments

Don't you just hate it when you have all these cards made and not one has the sentiment you need? How can that be? Are you running low on a category? I needed "thinking of you."



This simple card used the Boho Chic papers as the jumping off point. I cut out another flower from the paper as the base for my felt embellishment. You have to love the button with the hole in the middle. Perfect. ~ Rhonda

Don't forget to scroll to the previous post for some wrinkled ribbon blog candy.

stamps: PTI Fillable Frames #2
paper: the Paper Studio - Boho Chic, PTI True Blk, Stamper's Select White

Need a card for a teenage girl? This Bella image fits perfectly. I colored her while staying in the hotel last week. I didn't have all my Copic markers but did have the grays which worked perfectly with the Boho Chic papers when I came home. I'm currently on a circle streak-courtesy of the sunshine impression plate!

I love the sentiment in the flower die! ~ Rhonda

Supplies used:
stamps:pmsabella,  PTI - on my couch for sentiment
paper: Boho Chic, PTI plum pudding, lemon tart, new leaf, stampers select white
ink: PTI plum pudding
other: Spellbinder lg circle, PTI beautiful blooms II die, sunshine impression plate, Copic Markers

A Hug . . . in the Middle

Tuesday, April 27, 2010

I completed my 1st circle card! I used Spellbinders' large scallop circle for the card base. The paper is from Penny Lane."Suzette" is a Bella Ketto that I colored with Copic Markers and popped up with dimensional foam tape.



The sentiment is from PTI's Big and Bold Wishes. I used a circle nestie to help me get the curve just right.


Don't you just love this sentiment?


Thanks for visiting! ~ Rhonda

Thinking of You

Don't you just love inking up a new stamp set? All the possibilities. . .

PTI's Through the Trees is going to a classic, must have set. I used the big tree stamped on pattern paper for added texture without bulk. As someone who usually stamps on neutral cardstock and then layers on pattern paper this is a great change of pace. Love it!!



The sentiment is from the same set. A button and twine complete this easy card. I think twine is my favorite ribbon!



Thanks for stopping by! ~Rhonda

Just a Note!

Tuesday, November 10, 2009

My original concept was a notepad cover, but I'm always amazed at how the original idea changes. My color selection is based on the SPCC color challenge.


I recently made a custom bulletin board which left me with some extra adhesive cork. PTI's Take Note inspired my mini bulletin board idea for the card front. I cut the cork with Spellbinders Label One. I thought it turned out fun! I'm now imaging mini bulletin boards for dollhouses, cabinet doors, etc.


I used SU texture background plates on the yoyo yellow and melon mambo. I stamped the flower twice on SU - Not Quite Navy with PTI -Enchanted Evening ink. Inserted a brad and fluffed the petals.

Thanks for looking. Keep Playing! --Rhonda
