Paper Strips!

It is the 11th of the month and that means it is time for my card for the monthly themed swap that Terry is hosting on SCS--or it was to be posted on the 10th, but I had another card to post.  Each month she will post a theme and we make cards using any stamp set we believe follows that thought. This is our 44th month and the theme for September is "Paper Strips".  

I went with a fun Whipper Snapper Designs sentiment and used some of my Stampin' Up Coffee Break Designer Series Paper Strips!  I do love my coffee or latte every morning!   I am sure there will be some wonderful cards this month. 

Here is the inside of my card:

I hope Terry and the others swappers like my card this month too! Terry has already posted the October theme.  Be sure to come back in to see what we create!

This is the 34th week of A Card a Week Challenge. One card a week--for 52 weeks--with a preset challenge for each month. September is to pick the most recent Featured Stamper from SCS and go to their gallery to CASE a card.  Every Tuesday in September, I will pick a different featured stamper for my monthly challenge. 

For the week of September 8th, Rebecca, Rlsnyder, was the Featured Stamper 657.  Rebecca has some fun cards and I picked this double triangle card to CASE:

I went with card as we made a sympathy card with the same fold in a Fancy Fold class on Monday at my demo Sarah's house.  I thought the fall colors would be perfect for another sympathy card.

Here is the way the card opens:

I really like the look of this card and hope you do too.

3 Musketeers

It is time for another The Three Musketeers post. We are ready to showcase the card we all created with the image that I sent for September--for Card #61!  That means we nearing the end of year #5--can you believe that?!  All three of us sure have enjoyed the challenges every month and we hope that it continues for a long time!  Kelly will be up next for the October challenge.  Be sure to come back to see what we create!  

For our card this month, I sent Kelly and Jeanette this pretty Stargazer Lily Bouquet image from Taylored Expressions, along with three sentiments that are also included in the stamp set.  I sent one on a quarter sheet and also one that I die cut with the coordinating die. 

I used the die cut image along with one of the sentiments.   I colored the image with my Copic Markers and layered it over a Stampin' Up doily.  The background is a We R Memory Keepers embossing folder called Geometric.  I hope you enjoy my card!

Here is the inside of my card:

Thankful for Farmers!

Here is my September Crafters of Faith card.  This is a great group that my friend Kelly started on SCS. This is our 33rd month, so we are well into year #3. Jeanette gave everyone this challenge: 

Scripture: All things were created through him, and apart from him not one thing was created that has been created. (John 1:3,

Challenge: Include something on your card (or other project) that you are especially thankful that God created.

I knew that I wanted to highlight something from my past and I took out a favorite image of a farm house, windmill and shed.  This image reminds me of a farm and I am so thankful for farmers!  I was raised on a farm and would not trade that in for one minute!  I am so thankful for the hardworking farmers and their families, who work 24/7, rarely get a vacation or even a day off, toil in the fields and with their animals, for every one of us to have food on our table.  I am sad for the hard times they are currently living and grieve for all of the suicides that have occurred.  God Bless The Farms and Farmers!

I used my Zig Watercolor Brush Markers to color this image.  I wanted a bit of a distressed look on the weathered buildings.  I added some barbed-wire twill as my embellishment.

Here is the inside of my card:

I hope Jeanette along the others from the Crafters of Faith group like my card this month!  We are to post between the 7th and 10th of each month, so if you look on my sidebar, you may see other creations.  I know that there will be many posted in the COF thread on SCS too! Kim is up for our October challenge, so be sure to check back to see what I create!

Jolly Snowman

This is the 33rd week of A Card a Week Challenge. One card a week--for 52 weeks--with a preset challenge for each month. September is to pick the most recent Featured Stamper from SCS and go to their gallery to CASE a card.  Every Tuesday in September, I will pick a different featured stamper for my monthly challenge. I had another challenge card to post yesterday, so I am posting on Wednesday.

For the week of August 25th, Judy, JRHolbrook, was the Featured Stamper 665.  Judy has some fun cards and I picked this winter card to CASE:

I went with a base of red metallic along with a Memory Box die called Snowflake Love.  I found an older Stamps Happen image called Jolly Snowman!  I added some Wink of Stella on the snowman's body and around the bottom for a bit of glimmer!

I really like the look of this card and hope you do too. 

  

I hope you will stop back each Tuesday to see my creation for my A Card a Week Challenge!  Be sure to check back to see which SCS Featured Stampers I highlight in September. I am sure there will be some fun cards to chose from!

Spotlight Lovely as a Tree

This is my One Plus Twelve, month nine!  This is the brainchild of Kelly and she asked Jeanette and me to join her in this challenge. We are to use just one stamp, to make a card every month--but we may add a sentiment if we want!  One Stamp/Twelve Months-here we go into our 8th month of one plus 12.  We are to post on the 3rd of each month, reflecting the three of us and our three challenges we currently do together--3 Musketeers, our first challenge along with Ready, Set Go and now this one!  Plus, we added a new challenge last month called Hot Mess ~ Success.  Our friend Terry is also joining us in that challenge.  We post on the 12th of each month, though for September, we have moved it back to the 19th.  Be sure to come back to see our Messy Cards!

As a mentioned for my first card in January,  I picked my favorite Stampin Up set--Lovely as a Tree.  It is now retired and it does make me a bit sad.........  For my challenge this month, I used the spotlight technique.  I stamped the image on Crumb Cake and also on Ivory. I then punched out the Ivory pieces, layered on black and lined up on the Crumb Cake!

Here is the inside of my card:

Please be sure to check out the other One plus Twelve cards.  Here is a link to Jeanette's and Kelly's blog. I am sure you will enjoy checking out what stamp set is picked and will see a couple of great cards! I hope Kelly and Jeanette like my card and that you might too! We will be back each month, so be sure to check back to see what we are up to on the 3rd of October.

Volunteer Cards!

These are four styles of cards I recently made for my niece, who is a Volunteer Coordinator at a hospital.  She is going to ask her CEO if he would like to place an order for more.....................  Wouldn't that be sweet!

I bought this DRS stamp many years ago and I love the sentiment.  I have used this same stamp for volunteers at our church too.
