Fabulous Trio

Good Morning!  We had some crazy weather over the weekend, a real Nor'easter....lots of wind and rain and some parts of the state even got snow....ick!  Luckily it was still a town or two away from me!  YAY!  Way too early to see that stuff!

Today's card will be entered in to the Challenge over at Art Impressions, Humor & Puns and the Challenge at Simon Says Wednesday, Anything Goes!

 

I love these chicks, they are just fun and fabulous!  This set by Art Impressions is available at Michael's, Beach Babes.....not to be confused with the Girl Friends UM3577 set, which is similar.  BOTH are wonderful sets!  I love using these gals and the girlfriends sets for my Mom's friends at The Victorian, they all seem to get quite the chuckle out of them.....well who doesn't right?  lol

 

I used some Echo Park Designer Paper, A Perfect Summer....I know, I know, it's November, but they are Beach Babes!  All images colored with Copic Markers and I also added some shimmer and shine with Sakura Glitter Pens.  A little Baker's Twine and a button topped with a rhinestone for accents.  Spellbinders dies, Ribbon Banners and Large and Small Labels were used to create the frame, almost like a snapshot!

 

So turn your face to the sun and soak it in.....I fear winter is coming closer.  :(

 

Thanks for stopping by.

Snowflake Wreath

Good Morning!  Happy November!  Yikes!  The clock is ticking!

Today's card will be entered into the Challenge at Mod Squad, It's A Blue Christmas and over at Simon Says Wednesday, Anything Goes! 

This card was quite fun to put together and of course I found my inspiration on Pinterest.

 

Using a small punch, by Michael's Recollections I punch out a bazillion blue glitter snowflakes.  I made my wreath base by placing 2 Spellbinders Classic Circle dies close together. 

 



 

Then I just began to glue the snowflakes in a nice pattern all the way around.  Once done, I did another row and then topped that with a third layer, but this time I placed the snowflakes more in the center of the last two layers.

 

 



I glued rhinestones to the centers of the snowflakes and added a bit of silver twine to complete my wreath.  I absolutely love how this turned out and to think it was made using a $3 punch, pretty cool!  Added the sentiment, form Wishing You Joy by Gina K Designs  .  Added another punched snowflake and rhinestone and a bit of glitter ribbon.  All done!

 

So Happy November, glad you stopped in!

Hello!

Good Afternoon!  Happy Halloween!  May your day be filled with treats and just a trick or two!

Today's card will be entered into the Challenge at Stamp TV, It Takes 2, Only 2 and for the Challenge over at Simon Says Wednesday, Anything Goes!

 

Kraft on kraft with green....eh.....has a very natural look about it.....like recycling!  lol  I used the stamp sets Stamp It Big and Tropical Flowers by Gina K Designs.   Marvy Flower punch, Swiss Dots Embossing Folder and corner rounder.  I also colored the Adhesive Pearls using Copic Markers.  Panel is popped up to add dimension. 

 

Happy Halloween......man this card IS kind of scary!

 

Enjoy~~



Black And White Birthday

Good Morning!  One day closer to the weekend!

Today's card will be entered into the MFT Sketch Challenge and the Simon Says Wednesday Challenge, Anything Goes!

I originally thought I would also enter this into the Mix It Up Monday Challenge over at Stamp TV, Only 2 Colors, and No Designer Paper, oh tricky Cat......clearly I have used Designer Paper.  lol  Oh well, another card to send out!

 



  

I love this sketch and it helped me plan out my card.  I used the Gina K Designs stamp set, Lots Of Lines.  Big bold sentiments, big bold images!  I knew I wanted to go with a black and white theme, so to make this more feminine, I decided to add a bunch of Adhesive Pearls.  There is a chipboard button threaded with Baker's Twine as another accent.  The sentiment was stamped on Vellum and then texture was added using Swiss Dots Embossing Folder.  I also punched a tiny butterfly on my inside cover sheet and added a strip of corresponding Designer Paper to the top, just to tie everything together.  I find this card clean and elegant!

 

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

Happy Happy Joy Joy

Welcome Back!

Today's card will be entered into the Poppy Challenge, Sketch #16 With A Pop Of Pattern, Chevrons and Simon Says Wednesday Challenge, Anything Goes!

 

Here is my card:

 



 

I used the Chevrons Embossing Folder as my background.  The focal panel is covered in Designer Paper and a Martha Stewart Border Punch was added to the top and bottom.  I also added some brown ribbon which has teeny tiny blue dots.  I cut 3 flag banners out using a MFT Blueprint #12 die and then I stamped an arrow from the Stamp It Big set from Gina K Designs, and fussy cut that out.  The sentiment is from the Dahlias set from Flourishes.   Cute.  Fast. Simple.

 

Thanks for stopping by tonight!

 

Enjoy~~ 

 





Have A Holly Jolly Christmas

Good Morning!  Hope you all have a wonderful week.

Today's card was an easy one which will be entered into the Challenge over at MFT, Sketch Challenge.



And here is my card:

 

Really....such an easy card to make.  I cut the 'window' out using my Cameo.  I just added 12 one inch squares and centered them into a rectangle, grouping the images as I went, so it would cut as one piece.  Layered a piece of designer holly paper underneath it and adhered them to a piece of chipboard, so once adhered to the base card stock it would have a bit of dimension.  Before doing so I did place an eyelet in each corner.  Stamp sets are from Flourishes, That's A Wrap and Star Of Bethlehem.   Image colored with Copic Markers.  Banner cut out using Blueprints #12 by My Favorite Things.   

 

Now this card could really be mass produced in no time at all, especially if you skipped the chipboard and eyelets!  ;)

 

Thanks for stopping by, hope you had a good time!

This Is How I Like My Snow.....

.....on a card!!! 

This card will be entered into the Stamp TV Challenge, Christmas Comes Early and the Simon Says Wednesday Challenge, Get Crafty With Kraft.

 

Quite a simple card to make, one that could be easily mass produced.  All images heat embossed in white.  Torn card stock lined with chunky white glitter create the snowy hills.  I also flicked a bit of white craft paint on the background to add some more frostiness.  Stamped sentiment.  All stamp sets by Gina K Designs, Merry Little Christmas, Winter Wonderland, Wishing You Joy.  Nothing flashy, nothing fancy.

 

Thanks for coming by.

 

Enjoy~~
