TCP Tuesday 210

Better late than never, right?! I had this card all stamped up and out the door last week and honestly forgot to blog about it until today. Before you know it, TCP Tuesday 211 will be here, so I'd better get on with the show! This week's challenge is a sketch and I have to say I took a few liberties with the sketch. You can see the sketch over at Amy's blog, our new sketch challenge hostess!

Details on the card include a fun mix of CutUps dies: Big Scallop and Circus Panels, along with a sentiment from Bearing Flowers.

Thanks for stopping by today!

YNS Fun Friday: Suspension Card

I've got a fun card for YNS Fun Friday (yep, one day early this week to make way for Carole's Creative Commotion tomorrow) using the a suspension technique. Click HERE for a tutorial over at Splitcoast (SCS).

My card would have been perfect for Cinco de Mayo, no?! If I would have been on the ball, I would have posted it last weekend but that's just not how I've been rockin' and rollin' these days, so put the Celebrate set on your list and pick it up for a fun kid birthday card and then you'll have it for next year on Cinco de Mayo!

Head on over to the YNS blog for more fantastic Fun Friday samples and have a great Thursday!

TCP Tuesday 209: Dad's Day

I've got a fun card to share with you today that fits-the-bill for the men in your life as well as this week's TCP Tuesday Challenge #209 issued by Susan to use the CutUps Pennant Die and anything TCP having to do with the Letter M! Sorry folks, I couldn't resist using the CutUps Mustache Die once again...just couldn't resist.

The knot portion of the necktie is actually the Small Pennant Die in disguise with the bottom portion being hand cut for a nice custom fit! The CutUps Mustache Die tops off the trio.

Here's a peek at the inside of the card which used the CutUps Big Ticket & Mustache Dies in conjunction with The Mustache Set, Nightie & Babydoll Alphas, and Admit One.

I hope I've inspired you to get a start on your Father's Day cards, and if you don't have these fun stamps and CutUps in your possession, you have paw-lenty (get it, 'paw'?!) of time to get them before Father's Day! Now, head over to Susan's and Alma's blog for more TCP Tuesday fun!

TCP Tuesday 208

This week's TCP Tuesday challenge is a color challenge: lime green, red and gold, in honor of Cinco de Mayo. Let's grad a red solo cup and get the weekend in gear, eh?! Before we do that, let's have a little fun with these colors, in the form of a red mustache no less! I made this card for Secretary's Day this week and gave it to one of our dear school secretaries who is endlessly obliging me with answers to all of my silly-nilly questions. Without a doubt, she knows everything! Ok, about the card...it uses my new favorite TCP set, The Mustache Set and my new favorite CutUps die, Mustache!

Check out Lori's blog for all of the TCP Tuesday details and then stop over at Alma's blog, too, for more TCP Tuesday info and such. Have a great weekend!
