Hello my crafty friends……. It’s a beautiful Sunday morning here in So. California. It’s been a great weekend so far. I’ve been doing what I love most crafting all weekend long. I went to Susan’s card class yesterday and today I’m off to Shannon’s card class this afternoon. It’s good times for sure just sitting around chit-chatting with crafty friends. What a life! I’m actually going to get a few challenges in this weekend yippee this girl love’s herself some challenges. You know me my favorite is Freshly Made Sketches. I’m playing along this week with Rita’s sketch and this one was a bit of a challenge for me hint, hint note challenge.
A few weeks ago I saw a card made by Amy Rysavy on her blog she talked about using things that’s in her stash. I CASed her card a little and decided to go deep into my stash. I think what I like most was her use of a stencil….
Here we go I pulled out the Simon Says Stamp Bouquet of Flowers Stencil. I then blended my distress inks Spun Sugar, picked Raspberry and Festive berries for the Tulips onto a Neenah Solar White cardstock. The leaves was blended with Shabby shutters and mowed lawn. I used the Altenew Thanks stamp set for my sentiment and some sequins from my stash of Lucy’s Little Things Rose Gold.
Crafty Supplies:
Stamp: Altenew Many Thanks
Paper: Melon Mambo, Pear Pizzazz, Wild Wasabi (SU)
Ink: Hero Arts Intense Black
Accessories: Lucy’s Little Things Sequins Rose Gold
Hope you like my take on this weeks sketch.

Happy Saturday,
My crafty friends… I got a chance to play around in the haven this evening. I’m joining the design team over at Freshly Made Sketches today. I love the sketch designed by Jen Mitchell. I created another card earlier in the week for this challenge. For some reason I changed my mind. I know crazy crafter right….
For the new card I pulled out my distress inks stormy sky, salty ocean, blueprint sketch and blended them on Neenah Solar White cardstock to get a dark stormy sky. I splattered the background with water to give it a splotchy look. I wanted the rain to look surreal so I used my Nuvo Glimmer paste on the stencil from the Hero Arts February Card Kit. I cut an umbrella from the Silhouette Design Store and added white dots to give it character. I stamped the sentiment in VersaFine Onyx Black ink added clear embossing powder to give it a glossy look. That’s my take on this week’s sketch. Hope You Enjoy!
Crafty Supplies
Stamp: Hero Arts February Monthly Card Kit

Happy Saturday my crafty friends… I’ve been busy as a beaver this week. I’m playing along in a few 30-day challenges this month one is the thermoweb national craft month Photo A Day Challenge the other is The Daily Marker 30 day coloring challenge where you color something everyday. I share most of my photos for both of these challenges on Instagram @lisaluvs2stamp you can follow me there as well, If you would like to see what I’m up too each day. This morning I’m playing over on the Freshly Made Sketches blog for their weekly challenge. I have a dear friend who’s husband passed away this week and my heart is heavy. I don’t typically like making Sympathy cards but this one I created for her.
Since I’ve been coloring most of the week I stamped the Divine stamp image by Penny Black stamps on Neenah Solar white cardstock with MFT Black Licorice Hybrid ink. I then colored the image with several copic markers and added a light blue shadow around the flowers. The sentiment was stamped with Versafine Onyx black the stamp is Clearly Besotted Thinking of You set. I had to add sparkle with my Spectrum Noir Sparkle Pen Clear. I’m not even sure you can see the sparkle or the blue shadow around the flower in the photo. I then assembled the card on a Neenah Solar card base with a (SU) Elegant Eggplant mat and on top the art piece is on Neenah Solar white cardstock, of course I had to ad a little bling with some (HA) Pearls.
Crafty Supplies:
Paper: Elegant Eggplant (SU)
On another note I’ve added The Daily Marker 30 Day Coloring Challenge for you as well. Enjoy your weekend and I’ll be back soon with another weekly post!

Happy Saturday my crafty friends…. I’m playing and organizing the haven today and it’s been a blast. I created a card for this weeks sketch over on the Freshly Made Sketches blog… I’ve been wanting to ink up one of those flowers from the MFT Fancy Flowers stamp set. I stamped the flower and leaves with MFT Black Licorice Hybrid ink on Neenah Solar white cardstock and colored the flower and leaves with copic markers. The sentiment was stamped on vellum with Simon Says Stamp Clear ink and heat embossed with Stampendous Detail White Opaque embossing powder. I then adhered the flower to a Basic Black (SU) cardstock base and diagonal stripe patterned paper with a slight offset of vellum to mute the bold pattern of the designer paper. And there you have it! My take on this weeks sketch.
Crafty Supplies
Stamp: MFT Fancy Flowers, Watercolor Wishes Kit (SU)
Paper: Neenah Solar White, Basic Black, Vellum (SU), Theresa Collins Something Wonderful 6×6
Designer Pad
