TWO Announcements and a Sketch from Card patterns

Jennifer McGuire is at it again. If you aren’t familiar with what she’s doing I encourage you to check out her blog. Jennifer just announced  the details of her next Cards for Kids round…

All of the children are the same as the first round, but she has added two more (so far).  The next shipping deadline is March 31 and she has GREAT NEW prizes! I can tell you first hand how much these cards mean to these families so if you have a minute please make a card. A small and simple card is so incredibly meaningful to the kids and their families.



Guess what???!!!! SRM stickers in now ONLINE and it’s so easy to  click and shop and if you want to see what you can do with stickers check out SRM Sticker’s Blog

Now how about some card making? Below you will find Card Patterns Sketch #52.   I’m a person who likes to follow the rules so with this sketch my right and left brain were fighting.  I ended up making THREE  cards based on the sketch and let them choose which one they wanted to use. If you leave a comment which one is your favorite I’ll pick a random person and mail a surprise to you. 

CARD 1:  “Reverse Tie Dye Flowers”
I colored these flowers when we were on vacation so it was nice to have one element of the card to start with however ……the layout  took some time because my left and right brain were competing with each other. I love the result of the distress inks on the Nestabilities. I was tempted to add dots on the flowers but, decided not to.

CARD 2:  “I Donut Know”
I was itching to use this coffee cup stamp and I knew that I wanted to stamp a pattern on the cup and color away. When I first saw this stamp I had the desire to sew or quilt the cup holder. I ended up using my sewing machine for this.

    Wow! now that is a really hard choice because I love all of them, but I think the first one is my favorite, because #1 I love flowers and have such severe allergies to them, the only way I get to enjoy them is by picture or stamping. LOL. I also LOVE the vibrant colors you have used.

  2. Barb says

    I am absolutely in love with #1, Kathy! Such wonderfully bright colors!! I love the distressing on the Nestabilities and I am a huge fan of using pink and orange together!! Awesome cards!

  4. Elsina says

    I love all 3 of them, the first as it is such a happy one and the last because it’s composed so well and has such lovely details, but my favorite is the middle one, because of the funny sentiment and the originality of it.

  9. Pauline says

    Great job on ALL the cards! I’m bucking the trend and having a hard time deciding between #2 and #3. I think I’ll go with #3 because it’s so different. I just love everything about it!

  11. Nancy says

    I think I have to go with card number one! They are all adorable, as usual, but I just love the tie dye flowers and all the bright colors that you used! I am so ready for SPRING!

  13. Lin says

    I hope you know me well enough to know which one I like best ……. the FLOWERS one, of course!!
    And it follows the sketch almost perfectly!! Hugs!

  14. BabyBokChoy says

    The coloring is so so fantastic, I mean, wow, I seriously need to take a class! These cards are dripping cuteness, very very clever stuff!! Love them all!!!

  16. Dawn says

    All are just amazing Kathy, but my fav would be the last one. Just love the colours and the other little bits and pieces on it. It is quite a challenging sketch.

  18. Alice Wertz says

    you have done it again, sista!! how can i pick one?? they are all gorgeous! I do love the one that you used the new digi kit though. it’s a very cool kit and you used it beautifully with the cute little girl!! =)

  20. Lindsay says

    Great work! I really like the first AND second one but if I have to pick my fav I would say the first one! They are all really cute.

  23. paula says

    HI Kathy what a tough decision to be making………I really like them all but I think the coffee & doughnut card is so pretty especially with all the flowers on the cup xoxoxoxo

  26. Tammy says

    All three are beautifully created….I would have to go with your mom on this one with #3card. My kids are burning up the texting lately so it fits.
    smiles…

  30. treesawardincrafts says

    I have to go with my first instinct Kathy, which is the first one. I just love all the bright colours. However, you are so naughty, I kept looking and looking trying to decide, and in the end I fell in love with all of them. Not hard really.

  32. Virginia L. says

    I love all three, of course! But I tend to choose the food one(you know me) although I really like he third one, too! So I guess it’s a tie for me between #2 and #3! Muahahahhahahahhahaha

  33. Dotty Jo says

    Must I pick ONE??? Love them all. Great colours on all three cards, and such great images too. I think card 3 just nudges it for me because I love that little girl and her cute ‘bob’ hairstyle! Jo x

  35. haejin says

    so hard cuz they’re all so cute, but I think I like the flowers the best because it’s so bright~ and the coloring is amazing. 🙂

  36. Jill says

    I can’t pick a favorite they are all so good! I love the white highlights on the flowers in the first one-WOWSERS! And the pattern on the coffee cup- genius! And the last card is just TOOO fun!

  37. JAN says

    each and every one of your projects is pure inspiration to me but i must say i do love the drama of those flowers..beautiful gorgeous magnificent cards..

  38. Deirdre says

    Wow… difficult to pick one. I adore your colours on the first card and wonderful design, but I think my fave would be the third one. Have a great week, Hugs

  39. PamS says

    I Donut Know is my favorite. I haven’t had a donut in years but everytime my husband and I pass a donut shop…I tell him how much I am craving donuts.

  41. Kelly Booth says

    OK…..Ms stamping GENIUS!!! How on Earth can I pick a FAVE???? You make this really tough as I LOVE LOVE all three!!! I will have to co with the Fabulously colored Coffee cup card…it is just Awesome….but then they all are!!!!!

  42. Dora says

    Hello Kathy, what lovely cards.. bit hard to choose though. I like the first one for the colours only, but I think I prefer the third one mostly, although the donut and coffee images are so nice too. So my preference is the third! Hugs xx

  45. ivy says

    i LOVE the colors of card #1. such happy & bright colors! i always love me some bright & bold colors on cards!
    card#2 is very ‘today’. i love that it is unique and the blue stitching stands out nicely on the gray papers. i cannot live w/out my iPhone! that text addict sentiment would be perfect for my niece!! (who makes that—HA?)

  48. Christiana says

    You are so talented, Kathy! I love all three, but the tie dye flowers really stand out and say, “boy, howdy!” to me. Great colors, textures, vibrancy, everything. I think you’ve got a winner there!

  49. Cheryl Valadez says

    WOW! A super trio of cards…you have been very busy! I don’t think I can pick a fave, because they are all so fabulous. But, if I have to…oh I just can’t! LOL!! Ok, okay…number 3 just takes the cake on cuteness ;D

    Im voting on the top one it was your card that made play in card patterns this week I love it .But I love all of them .No one has came and looked at the card I made for the challenge yet .But I love everything you have up .Hugs Sarah

  53. bkeefe says

    hi kathy – my vote is for the first one – love the bright color palette and how you reversed the colors. a good inspiration for me since i don’t often work in those colors. by the way – u suggested i send to “cards for kids” which i will probably do, but added another to my own weekly card list – a lady (97 years) in an assisted living in wisconsin who loves to get mail. take care and love those stamps u sent me.
