Sending Love and Prayers Card with Freshly Made Sketch #746

My friend loves starfish and is undergoing a difficult health journey so I made her this lovely card featuring patterned paper with hot pink starfish on it.  The beachy paper is part of a Craft Smith paper pack called "Jet Set Joy" which I purchased at Michael's months ago. The coordinating paper is very old Close to my Heart (perhaps 25-30 years old) called Peony Passion. The sentiment is from Close to my Heart called Cherish Card Making.  Diamond Stickles were used to accent the starfish and the sequins.

Here is the fabulous Freshly Made Sketch #746 that inspired my card layout:

I'm still finding ways to feature this cute penguin die and chose to use it for this week's Freshly Made Sketch #744.  (My previous penguin card was chosen as a "Top Cup" in last fortnight's Sunday Stamps Challenge. Yay!)  Patterned papers are from very old "Lucky" and "Fanfare" from Close to my Heart and the sentiment is from "Banner Wishes", also from Close to my Heart.

Here is the fabulous Freshly Made Sketch that inspired my card layout:

Penguin All Occasion Card with Sunday Stamps Sketch #389

My sister has a fondness for penguins so I'm making her a bunch of penguin cards.  The dies are from Temu and the stamped background was created with an old stamp set from Close to my Heart called "Writing in the Sand".  It was stamped on Glacier card stock with Bluebird ink and White Embossing powder for the ice.

This is the fabulous sketch from Sunday Stamps that inspired my card layout:

Daisy All Occasion Card with Sunday Stamps Sketch #389

Several weeks ago I used my Cricut to cut a dozen daisies from a Recollections White Gold Shimmer cardstock for future use.  When I saw this week's Sunday Stamps sketch I decided to feature a couple of daisies following the sketch.  The background paper is from a very old Close to my Heart paper pack called "Dreamin".  My card came together very quickly following the fabulous sketch.

Here is the wonderful sketch that inspired my card layout:
