Who's Got The Button?

I have a quick and easy card for you today, one that will be entered into the Mod Squad Blog Challenge, Who's Got The Button?

 

Gina K Designs stamp sets used, Buds And Vases and Holiday Basket, as well as her Designer Paper, Parisian Garden and her card stock, Lovely Lavender and Vibrant Violet.  I folded a doily in half and used that as my focal point.  Layering it with flags and a heart die cut, button and twine.  I stamped random flowers and added adhesive pearls to the centers, colored with Copic Markers.  Corner Punch also used.  A simple little card, but I love that sentiment.

 

Hope you are doing something you love today.....thanks for stopping by.

 

Enjoy~~

Curtain Call, Burlap Banner, MFT, Sketch Challenge, and the Simon Says Wednesday, Color Coordinates, black, slate, orange peel, green apple and lavender.

 

And here is my card:

 

 

I used the Hydrangeas stamp set from Flourishes.  Spellbinders Classic and Scalloped Circle Dies used.   Images colored with Copic Markers.  Small Hydrangea fussy cut out. 

 



 

Small holes punched out at the bottom and then backed with green card stock.  Thin green ribbon and green rhinestones for accents.

Black & White & Loved All Over

Happy Weekend!  Looks like another fabulous Fall day!  Life Is Good....Knock On Wood!

Today's card I am entering into the Challenge over at Poppy Sketch, #17, With A Pop Of Pattern, Houndstooth.

 

And here is my card:

 

 

 

I used one of my older sets from Gina K Designs, Vintage Borders, and the sentiment and snowflake are from the Wishing You Joy set.  I stamped the multi lingual Merry Christmas 3 times, creating the background, which is popped up on the card base to add dimension.  

 



I also stamped the scalloped border adding rhinestones to each center.  The sentiment is stamped in black ink while the snowflake was stamped in light grey and then traced using a Sakura Clear Star Glitter Pen.  A border of  Houndstooth Designer Paper is the backdrop for the sentiment tag.  One additional large rhinestone was added to the snowflake center. 

 

I like the non traditional colors (or lack thereof) of this Christmas card, I wonder how the recipient will react to receiving a black and white Christmas card?!?!

 

Thanks so much for coming by, appreciate you doing so.

 

Enjoy~~ 

 

 

 

 

 







Peaceful City Scene

Hello again!

Today's card will be entered into the Challenge over at PTI, Gold Dipped Die Cuts.

 

Loved working with this stamp and die set, City Scene.  I think I am starting to get the hang of it.  Each building is stamped twice onto the die cut, they are clear stamps so this makes it quite easy to do.  Mine are not perfect, yet I still like their look. 

 

 

 I also took the small snow/star stamp and added itty bitty snowflakes falling quietly on the city.  I also added some Sakura Clear Star Glitter Pen to the snow to make it sparkle and glisten.  

 



 

The sentiment is a One-Liner Die Cut, which is the die I chose to dip in gold embossing powder and heat.  Looks really awesome, totally hi-lights the word.  I hope to remember to use this technique more when making Christmas cards.  A couple of pieces of matching thin green ribbon.  The base is all popped up for dimension. 

 

Thanks for popping in!

The Deep Blue Sea....Or Ocean!

Good evening!  Another fabulous Fall day here, feels like summer, but without all of the people....yahoo!!

Today's card will be entered into the Challenge at Stamp TV, Over The Deep Blue Sea and the Challenge at Simon Says Monday, O Is For.....and in this case, I am going with OCEAN.....again!

 

I used the stamp set, Gifts From The Sea, from Gina K Designs just perfect for these 2 Challenges!  I used water color pencils to create the background, sky, sea, and sand, making a darker line to distinguish sky from sea.  Then I covered the sand in a bronze colored glitter and the sea with a little white sparkly glitter and also made a little foam line with chunky white glitter.  Stamping 6 different shells and coloring them with Copic Markers, I fussy cut them out.  Then I layered all on white and blue card stock twice to add dimension.  Wrapping some thin twine 3 times around adding a pearl as I went.  I quite like how this card came out and it is more sparkly in real life.  Can you smell that fresh salty air?  Ahhhhh.......

 

Thanks for joining me at my beach!

 

Enjoy~~



Happy Columbus Day

Good Morning!  Hope you all can enjoy this Holiday and spend time doing what you love.  I have to work, but that's okay.....I guess.

Today's card will be entered into the Challenge at Reverse Confetti, October Sketch, and the Simon Says Monday, Challenge O.....Oh how I do love the Ocean!!!

I love the clean look to this Sketch, maybe you do too.

 

I bought my first stamp set from Reverse Confetti a couple of weeks ago and I FINALLY had some time to get it inky.  It's a super cute ocean themed set, surprise, surprise.  So I thought it was a perfect card and stamp set to showcase on this Columbus Day!  :)

 



  

Just look at all of those fabulous harbor related stamps, 14 in all.

 

And here is my card:

 



 

Super cute, right?  I stamped the Braided Rope 3 times on the bottom panel.  The Compass Rose was stamped on white card stock with dark blue ink and layered on a deep red card stock, using Spellbinders Classic and Scalloped Circle dies.  I ran the flag banner through my CuttleBug using the Swiss Dots embossing folder.  Stamping the Anchor Border twice in a light blue ink on my sentiment panel and then over stamping the sentiment, shore do love you, in deep red.....I LOVE that sentiment!  The Designer Paper is Sea Glass from K & Company, layered on white card stock and both panels popped up using a bazllion 3D adhesive dots.  Then I simply wrapped the whole thing in Baker's Twine with a knot.  I also stamped the Anchor Border on the inside of the card as well as the Flag Banner, to finish it off.

 



 

I think I have a lot of ideas for this fabulous set!  Stayed Tuned....Wink, Wink!

 

Hope you all have a wonderful day, whatever you do!

 

Enjoy~~
