STV15MON48 Girl Power

 

Happy Monday! 

 

I am hosting the Challenge at Stamp TV this week! 

 

Here are ALL the details:

 

 

Are you ready?  I'm going to make this REAL simple......GIRL POWER!  Just make a feminine card, it could be a birthday, friendship, or just thinking of you kind of card, whatever you would like.  Just make sure we can tell it is for someone of the female persuasion!  Think Pink!  Add some BLING!  Show some special woman in your life how much she means to you!  No, you don't have to use pink or even bling, these are mere suggestions.

 

Here is the card I created for my lovely daughter's birthday!  She is my one and only and my best friend, yup as cliché as that sounds, it's all true! 

 

 

Lots going on here.  I used 2 well loved Gina K Designs stamp sets for the sentiments, Basket Additions and Stamper's Favorites.  Dress form is a Cameo Cut file.

 

Then I just kept adding lots of fun embellishments; rosette ribbon and pearls for the dress, feathers, adhesive rhinestones and pearls, ribbon and an enamel dot.  Swiss Dots Embossing Folder for texture and a few die cuts; Stitched Traditional Tags and Bracket Edge Duo. 

 

I found this a fun and fabulous card to make.  I think by choosing your recipient first, you can just go wild with imagination.

 

You may play along until 8:00 p.m. CST, Sunday December 6th, using the tag STV15MON48. 

 

I can not wait to see all of your fabulous entries and who you celebrate in your life!

 

I am also entering this card into the Challenge at Simon Says Wednesday, Anything Goes!

 

Enjoy~~

 

 

 

 



Card Box Holder

Good Afternoon!

I have been trying to make a bunch of cards for my Mom, ones that require no extra postage, so she can mail them easily.....no trips to the Post Office and hand stamping, IYKWIM?  Soooo, the next idea was to make her a cute little box to hold all of the cards in.  I perused the 'interwebs' and found an easy to follow tutorial HERE, at Pink Buckaroo's Blog.

This will be entered into the Challenge at Scor Pal, Hearts A Flutter. 

The score lines for the box are at: 

card stock 11 x 7 inches, 1/2"   3"   8"   10.5"
card stock  7 x 6  inches, 1/2"   3" turn 90 degrees score again at 1/2"   5.5"

My card holder box isn't fancy or overly adorned, but it certainly gets the job done.

I used many Gina K Designs stamps for the dividers, Basket Additions, Lots Of Thanks, Make A Statement, Stamper's Favorites, and Up And Away.  Spellbinder's Hearts, Classic and Scalloped Circle dies.  Glitter dotted ribbon.

Nothing Fancy

 

That's it.....full of all different types of cards made with love.

 

Thanks for coming by.

Snips And Snails And Puppy Dog Tails

Good Morning!  Just another beautiful day in Paradise!

One of my BFF's from 'back home' just became a Nana for the very first time!  She has a beautiful new Grandson and this card is for the Happy Parents.  Whahoo!

I am entering my card in the JUGS #202, monochromatic blue and the CMC #75, anything goes Challenges.

I was sneaky enough to *borrow* the ribbons from her Baby Shower, as card makers, I bet you do the same for these happy little life moments! 

I absolutely LOVE this card stock, Blue Raspberry from Gina K Designs, the stamp sets are also from there; Basket Additions, Basket Additions 2, and Holiday Basket.

Spellbinders dies; Classic Circles and Heart Circles.  Copic Markers, Ribbons, Buttons, 3D Pop Dots.

Thanks for stopping by, need to pop this in the mail, little Ryan Joseph will be a week old by the time he gets this.

Enjoy all of your Happy Little Life Moments!

Beach Picnic

Good Sunday Morning!    You probably all know how much I love.....love.....I mean LOVE my coffee, but today it just tastes even yummier.....rich, creamy, hot.....care to join me for a cup?

Today's card was made with the CASology Challenge #57 Picnic.

 

It's been far too long since I was on a Beach Picnic, I should rectify that!  AND when I do I think this is exactly what I would pack to sit and watch the sunset with the Hubby.  This is a 4.25" square card.  The stamps are from Gina K Designs, Basket Additions, Basket Additions 2, and Holiday Basket.  Colored with Copic Markers and fussy cut out, mounted on a Lacy Square die from Spellbinders with 3D pop dots.  I chose the red checked designer paper to mimic a picnic blanket.

 

 

With the waning days of summer (oooh my heart skipped a beat in anticipation), I will have more time to pack picnics, to sit and watch sunsets and just be still. 

 

Ahhhhhh.

 

Enjoy your wonderful Sunday.....be creative......be happy......be still and breathe a bit.
