Daisy - weaved note card

Created this card per Doodle Palace in mind, this weeks challenge was to do weaving
I also was able to use all scraps!

Flowers is a Stampin' Up punch.
I then took the negative and used it as a stencil to embellish the inside.
Yellow ribbon from SU too. (Pulled off a card I didn't want it on and in my scrap bin as well.)
I believe the border punch is Martha Stewart. This piece was in my scrap bin too!

Vintage card

You know when you have a vision of how you want a card to come out - but it changes along the way. This is close to what I wanted to occur with this creation.

The puzzle pieces were cut from Locker Talk Cricut cartridge at 3". I then Stamped the hummingbird/birdbath image (Inkadinkado) using brown StazOn ink. It covered fabulously!
I glued down all but the upper corner piece which I tilted and raised on a foam square.
The ribbon, flowers, border and rhinestones are all from Stampin' Up.
I am entering this card in these challenges
1) Cuttlebug Challenge Vintage Valentine
2) Tuesday Taggers - in which we had to use a puzzle piece (I used all 9)
3) The Pink Elephant - we had to use polka dots, a bow and the color pink
4) Die Cuts R Us - use ribbon
5) Doodle Palace - something new - the stamp image and all the SU products were new - I got today
I think this will go to my MIL.

Season's Greetings

I just made a couple cards with my new Embossing folder from Cuttlebug! Love it. which I bought it earlier - will definitely make lots of cards and tags next year with it

I am entering this and the next card in the weekly challenge at Doodle Palace

Border punch from Martha Stewart and pearls from Michael's.

Retro Bonnie - easel card

Ohhh.. I have to tell you I love this cute digi I bought from Alison Spelman
I colored, I think, six of these cuties this weekend as I will be making various "good luck" cards for my daughter and her friends. You see they are in college going into their second year and spring semester and want them to know I care how they are doing. They love it when I send them cards - so as I progress through different challenges on blogs.. you'll see this digi colored differently and in diff LO.

SO without further ado - here is Bonnie (first version) for three challenges - one at Project Tuesday to make an easel card and for the second challenge entry at Doodle Palace to use their sketch and color combo of Chocolate Brown, Aqua Blue, glitter, 1 ribbon, 2 flowers and 3 pattern paper! And Stamp Something with Glitz - the glitz are the awesome rhinestones - just love to ad them here and there.
Whew, I really like how this card came out.

ChEeRs

This is a whimsy card for a challenge at Doodle Palace.
We had to make a predominantly purple holiday card.

Back ground card stock run through the Sizzix snowflake embosing folder.
Glitter purple card stock from Wassau Papers.

Martha Stewart punch for the double layer snowflakes and added a purple rhinestone in the middle.

The inside sentiment is a Sizzix font.

Joy - bingo Christmas Card

I have made a similar holiday card months ago with this bingo image and just love the play on the "number" game.

Again I circle the 25 to represnt the date of the Holiday of Christmas.

I ran the base card stock through the snowflake Cuttlebug embossing folder and the white accent card stock through the Herringbone folder and inked to bring out the diamonds.

Added the image and the sentiment (Sizzix die).

Here is the inside which I made up to go along with the fun cover of the card.

I am entering this into Doodle Palace weekly challenge to use red and white on a card.

the inside.

Celebrate ...... Autumn

Here in New England the trees are changing, so I spent some time last night with my glitter and glue pad and inked this tree (Michael's dollar bin). Took a few tries and some google searching - I guess glossy card stock works best. I was lucky I do not throw anything away. This black glossy piece was a backing or insert to something I had bought.

I used Viv's sketch at Doodle Palace and will also enter it on their blog and Paper Cutz 3 button challenge like the card below.

All similar materials used as in the last card.

I love how the camera flash captured the glitter on the tree.

Inside of card

The orange paper you are seeing is a homemade kind of like mulberry paper, fabulous texture.
