Charisma Cardz and Card Patterns Autumn card

My vision was different than what this card turned out to be - but I like it just the same.
I used the Cuttlebug Autumn words Embossing folder and inked a couple key words.

Using my Martha Stewart punch and stamp set I punch the leaves and inked the same image as well. Raised the leaves on foam squares and added some bling from M's I got yesterday.

Entering this in a couple challenge - layout from Card Patterns and Autumn theme at Charisma Cardz

Mojo Monday sketch

I loved this sketch (see below) at Mojo Monday and thought the Halloween card I created next would suit well with the two Stampin' Up Stamps I used.

Because the sketch seemed a little formal - I went with more fall type colors as requested at Charisma Cardz than spooky in your face papers. However... if you look close they are - mahuhhhhh - LOL

Ok - back to the card - I stamped with brown Stayzon and colored the imaged with colored pencils except for the flesh (markers). The Sentiment was punched out using a SU scallop oval. The border punch is a EK Success which match the sketch perfectly!

Pattern card stock is more from my Recollection pack from M's. The cut star ribbon came in a 3pack Halloween ribbon pillow sampler at Target dollar spot.

Kiki - I love you

Delight2Design flower pot

What a lovely image we were given this week to create a card at Delight2Design.
Entering this card as well at Sentimental Sundays (new or old stash item for me new was the image, old was the sentiment), Charisma Cardz Challenge (flowers), Crazy4Challenges (pleats), Frosted Designs (buttons) and i used the paisley Sizzix embossing folder - sanded on the base DCWV base.

White on white - blank card for now

I created this white on white. I struggled with the different embossing - but after I stepped away from the card for a bit and came back - I decided on this form.
I am entering this into a few challenges.
I put no sentiment - as I can use this for a few occasions - like shower, sympathy, or wedding, or just thinking of you - which will probably be the way I go.

1) Charisma Cardz challenge #4 - white on white]
2) Frosted Designs - embossing (I used two diff Cuttlebug folders) (Click the pick to see the two layers)
3) Quixotic - use a butterfly on our project - I used the Stampin Up Butterfly punch which I stamped an embossed with white embossing power (same as the oval)
4) Create4Fun challenge # 5 I used their layout

I also used Martha Stewart border punch and the stamp "script" is from Inkadinkado
Card stock - whisper white from Stampin' Up. White pearls from Michael's

Sending hugs your way

I love how this card came out - The image was a free digi at Sew many cards
This card was a multi creation by following these blog challenges
1) Crafty Catz Challenge 16 - love
2) Charisma Cardz challenge 3 was to use fruity colors (that's why I love this card - the colors are cheerful)
3) One Stop Craft Challenge #64 love & kisses (in my case "hugs")
and what helped me tie it all together was 4) the wonderful sketch GS #22 at Get Sketchy

Thinking of you - birdhouse

I made the bird house from a heart punch from Stampin' Up. I used my 1/8" whole punch and punched all around the heart. I then embossed it with the Cuttlebug Victoria Embossing folder. I used a circle punch for the bird hole.
The background embossing is from an embossing folder from Quickutz that I bought from DCRU. The grass is a new Martha Stewart punch that I just bought yesterday at Michael's.

This is a 3 panel card, the inner panel is a stamped bird and inside sentiment is from Stampendous.

I am entering this in the CharismaCardz challenge - anything new - that's my MS punch

The inside sentiment is something I typed up and printed.

Hot Cocoa anyone?!

Here is a combo card. I call it that becasue I used premade die cuts on my hand made card.

The penguin and cocoa stand are from Paper Magic and the rest is designed around the images.

The snow is blue paper run through the Cutlebug snowflake embossing folder and sanded to show the white core. The sentiment and tree stamps are from Inkadinkado.

I am enterring this into two challenges. One at Charisma Cardz Challenge #45 and the other is white core or color core effect at Practical Scrappers

Joy - using A Child Years winter cut

I love this cartridge - A Child's Year! I used it for the children.

Here is one of 2 cards I made this morning. (I'll post the second one after this as not to make this post too long.

The winter cut was cut at 3" and I used this for 3 challenges 1) Charisma Cardz Challenge # 44 - Sketch at Charisma Cardz 2) Challenge 31 - BLUE, SILVER and WHITE at Colour Create Challenge Blog if we throw in WINTER and GLITTER all the better. and 3) Just Buggin’ Challenge #10 -Just Bling it!! Use glitter or glitter glue on your die cuts and it must include at least one Cricut die cut must be used on your project.

Irridesence paper for the back drop of the children, MS snowflake punch with silver gems. The sentiment if from SU!

bright - holiday card

I made this with the Charisma Cardz challenge.

We could not use any backing paper on our project.

I started out with cream card stock, placed in the Cricut machine using Joy of the Season cartridge and cut the ornament card at 4 3/4".

I hand cut the green frame and lined the inside of the card with a deep red cs, which I rounded the corners.

The sentiment on the front is from Stampin' Up. I cleared glitter embossed it (hard to tell with the camera)

The awesome glitter on the ornament is Martha Stewart, take a look at the glitter - it is wonderful and does great coverage.

Thank You

I created this card with a few challenges in mind.

What sparked the creation was at Daring Cardmakers - they asked us to make a card using 5 things that is our favorite.

Mine are:

ink (got to have ink - I love ColorBox Cats eyes for great control)

pearls (Basic Grey)

striped pattern paper (Provo Craft)

ribbon (Martha Stewart)

punches (Martha Stewart and SU)

and my cuttlebug (Swiss dots on the butterfly) - ok so that's 6... but I got 5 anyways.

I also made this into a spring card for Charisma Cardz #42 challenge and followed along at Frosted Designed to make it pop. The butterfly is popped up with foam squares, the sentiment is also on foam circles. And the inside butterfly as well is 3D. We also had to have layers which I do. The base card (1), the pattern paer (2) the punches (3)
