{Sun} Sweets: Inspired by Sketches Cards

Hello, Kraftie Friends!!!

Happy Sunday!
I have a couple of cards to share today...first one, I had the papers + image laid down already on my desk, when I saw this CAS on Friday Challenge #183 Sketch...and it was almost the same I had in mind!!!

So, I just had to add the sentiment and some other details...plus the colors from Color My Heart #400 Celebrartion: Shades of Purple, Blue and Green...

...and here's my card (I'll have a Process Video later):

I used CTMH D1920 You Make Me Happy stamp set and Mix-In papers.
If you purchase the stamp set, CTMH will donate $7 to Operation Smile, a non-profit organization that provides surgeries to repair cleft lips and palates in children around the world.

I used Jane Davenport's Glitz Sea Sparkle Markers to color the card.

More Challenges:

3. WordArtWed #446-#447: AGoes

4. Gem of a Challenge Week 14: AGoes

5. Crafter's Castle #31: AGoes

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

My second card was inspired by CAS(E) this Sketch #379:

And here it is:

All I used was washi tapes on a panel...different designs and widths.

Other Challenges:

2. Simon Says Wed: Bright and Cheerful

Paper Sweeties Plan Your Life Series - July 2020!

Hello, Kraftie Friends!

It's Planner Series Inspiration time at Paper Sweeties today!!!

This is my 2020 Mini Happy Planner:

It has a different layout than my previous Planners...the boxes remind me of the monthly spread...so I got confused one time and wrote stuff on "Friday" instead of "Thursday". I'm getting used to it, even though it's a little tight to write stuff down.
Here's what I did for July (click to enlarge):

I stamped images and words, using Planner Series: Get Your Craft On, Planner Series: Wedding, Planner Series: Business Basics AND the newest Planner Series stamp set: All Occasions.
Then, I added some MAMBI stickers and penned in some chores, info, etc...

Supplies:

Planner Series stamp set - All Occasions

Planner Series - Wedding

Planner Series - Get Your Craft On Paper Sweeties

Planner Series: Business Basics

4th of July

EyeConnect Crafts: 4th of July Lace-Up Stars

Hello, Kraftie Friends!!!

I'm back at EyeConnect Crafts Blog as a Guest Designer this month, so I made a quick 4th of July Card, using Lace-Up: Celebration, Stars chipboard shapes.

We might not be able to BBQ with friends or watch the fireworks in D.C., but I will still decorate a bit and have my kids make some crafts.
You can see the photo tutorial HERE!

My inspiration came from The Card Concept #138 {Summer Fun}:
