Cards by Kerri

This Saturday 24 new Digiments will be available! You can get all 24 for only$10.00! How cool is that? I have a sneak peek for you today of one of the Baby Love Digiments that will be available. I've been wanting to make one of these adorable onesie cards for a while, and this was the perfect time to try it : ) I found the template on Lauren Meader's blog here. I ran the front of the card through my CB Swiss Dots folder and added the Pink Pirouette accents. I printed out the Digiment, cut it out with my Nestabilities Labels 4, and sponged with Pretty in Pink. I added the satin bow, and 3 silver brads along the bottom for the "snaps". I just think these are so cute! Make sure you head over to the Digiments blog and download the 3 FREE Digiments. Then make a card with one or all three to be entered for the chance to win the entire new release!!! Since we're in baby mode, I thought I would show you the card I made for yesterday's Sketch Challenge on SCS. I have a dear friend who recently found out she's having a baby boy, so this is going to her. Congratulations, Kari!!! I'm just soooo happy for you!!! I stamped this darling image from Whipper Snapper with Memento Tuxedo Black and colored in with Copics. I cut it out with my Rectangle Nestabilities. The dp is from K & Co Small Wonders Boy. I added the texture to it with my Tiny Bubbles CB Folder. I popped up the image panel with Dimensionals, added the ribbon and buttons and it was complete! Thank you so much for stopping by today : )

Hello! I made this for today's sketch challenge on SCS. I needed one more house warming card, so I used my sentiment from SU Bella's Bloom once again. I recently got this dp from Cosmo Cricket's Everafter collection. I know I'm a little behind in the times, but I kept seeing so many beautiful projects with it and finally just had to have it lol! I stamped the flowers from Verve's Miracles Blossom set. The stems were stamped with Always Artichoke and watercolored in with AA and the tulips were stamped with Tangerine Tango. I stamped the tulips again, cut them out and popped them up on dimensionals. I added this pretty sheer ribbon and the butterfly punched with a Martha Stewart Butterfly Punch. That's about it! Thank you so much for stopping by today : )

Hello! Tonight is the night when all of the Verve new releases will be revealed and will be available! The party starts at 9:00 pm at the Verve forum on SCS. Today the Divas are sneak peeking this beautiful sympathy set called Forever in Our Hearts. I was very excited about this set because it's something that my collection was lacking. Can I just tell you that the sentiments and images in this set are absolutely beautiful! Julee really hit it out of the park with this one.

For my card I colored this beautiful image with Chocolate Chip, Old Olive, and Not Quite Navy. I cut it out with my Nestabilities Labels 4 and sponged it with Ranger Antique Linen Distress Ink. I matted it with a larger Nestabilities Labels 4 that I had cut around the embossed edge to make it smaller. The sentiment was stamped in Not Quite Navy and sponged as well. I used dp from SU Urban Garden DSP. Thank you so much for stopping by, and make sure you check out the Verve Blog to see more beautiful creations with this set!

Hello! I have a couple of cards to show you today ; ) This first one is the one I made for today's Sketch Challenge on SCS. I really like this layout! I pulled out my fabulous set from Verve called Up, Up, and Away. I stamped the balloon with Memento Tuxedo Black, then stamped it again on some Basic Grey Wisteria dp. I cut out the balloon part and paper pieced it. The sentiment is from Verve's Grateful Elegance set. I punched it out with my SU Oval Punch and sponged it with Ranger Antique Linen Distress Ink. I layered it on top of a scalloped oval that I punched out of Bordering Blue with my SU Scalloped Oval Punch. I added a zigzag stitch all around the perimeter of the card, and the bow with the button detail. I also added some Stardust Stickles to the clouds.

Hello! Today's Ways To Use It Challenge on SCS was to crinkle cardstock and make these adorable flowers : ) You can see the tutorial for these here. I've been wanting to try this for a while, so I had to play today! I pulled out my scrap bin, and gathered these scraps from My Mind's Eye Just Dreamy 2 collection. The base of the card is Ruby Red. I used various circle punches for the circles, then used my Tim Holtz Distressing Tool around the edges. I crinkled each layer up, then stacked them together. How fun and easy, right?!? The sentiment is from Verve's Wishful Elegance set and I stamped it with Chocolate Chip.
