More poppy cards

 Click on cards to enlarge

I had posted a pink poppy card a few weeks back,  and now here comes my purple poppy card, and my yellow poppy card.

I used a stamp by stampendous...Pretty Poppies  CRS5096

colored the cards with copics.

I gave these two cards as Christmas gifts, I forgot to take pics of the little sentiment cards that I enclosed inside the cards. For each of the cards.  I made up three sentiment cards...each with a different sentiment, One for a Birthday card, one for a Sympathy card, and sentiment that could be used for everyday.  I put strips of removable tape on the back of the sentiment squares so that they could pull off the tape liner and put down which sentiment they wanted to use for their card.

Speaking of Yellow

I made the above card for a former classmate of my daughter.  We were talking at my daughter's Christmas party when I told her that I could not participate in some of the games because I have vertigo right now.  She asked how I got that because she told me that she had the same problem.  I told her how my hubby at to take me to the emergency room a few weeks ago because of it and some other problems.  I thought that when he took me to the emergency room that they would treat me, maybe keep me for the night!    But No, they kept me for a few days and while I was there....because of the dizziness, that I was feeling, I wasn't allowed out of bed.

My daughter's friend looked at me, and said "Did they give you the yellow socks?"  

I said "Yes!"   And that's how I found out that was the code for me not being allowed to get out of bed.  When my mother was in the hospital she always came home with slipper socks but they were always blue or another color.  I don't ever remember her having "yellow" socks!

To me that was a perfect opportunity to make a personalized card for my daughter's friend.

I made the card to read...

The stockings were hung...

and on the inside

by the chimney with care.

knowing that there would always be

yellow socks to wear.

Hope she got a chuckle out of it.

Thank you for stopping by my blog today

Blessings,

Jill ---Who always has cold feet

and is wearing her yellow slipper socks.

NBUS Challenge number 4 My third Card

 Click on card to enlarge

I made this card for Darnell's NBUS Challenge.  This is Darnell's 4th Challenge, and I have entered every one of her Challenges, (In fact, I was one of the fortunate ones to win a prize in her first challenge).   This is my third entry for this challenge, and it's the first time that I have entered 3 cards in her challenge.  Usually it was one or two.

The challenge can be found here...

Again, thank you so much, Darnell, for your wonderful challenges, and encouraging all of us

to use our NBUS.   I know I needed the push to get out some of my items in my craft room

that had not been used before.  (Like this 4 year old stamp)

********************************************************************

I thought that this would be a quick 5 minute card to make   NOT!!!

My NBUS item is my stamp!  I purchased the set at a stamp show FOUR years ago, and I am finally getting around to using it.  I lost the topper to the package, but I think it said that stamp is made by Hampton Arts ?

My hubby colored her face with Copics for me...R11, R29, R00, R000, RV000, T5
I paper pieced her hat and dress using Designer paper from Grapic 45, (Botanical Tea Collection)
I cut out the image using a Spellbinder die   Nestabilities, Classic Ovals Large.
I added some Vellum to the background, lace, ribbon, brads, and a rose from my stash.

Darnell, I wanted to add this quote to the second card that I had added to your challenge.
the sunshine card that I made...And I forgot about this quote...

But this quote is for you.
"Those who bring sunshine into the lives of others
cannot keep it from themselves."
~J.M. Barrie

I just hope that all the sunshine you bring to others...with your generosity,
lovely comments, and caring support you give to others...
is reflected back to you...

Blessings,
Jill

Card for Dreamweaver challenge

I made this card for this months challenge at Dreamweaver Stencil blog...the link to the challenge can be found here
  http://dreamweaverstencils.blogspot.com/2013/04/thursdays-dream-schemes-tutorial-on.html

I made my card using my favorite stencil...the umbrella stencil  LG737.  I won that stencil in one of the Dreamweaver challenges.  I also used a Dreamweaver stencil for my sentiment  LG738.  I used my  Matte black embossing paste on the stencil.   I paper pieced my umbrella and also my rubber boots which I stamped with memento ink  ..the stamp is from Hampton Art. Not sure where the Dp is from, I added a ribbon and some Stampin' Up dimensionals to pop up some of  my images.
