Star Fairy wish

I love this image I won from Pollycraft and decided to use it tonight to make this cute card. I just bought the MS punch tonight after watching HSN I ran out to M's to get it with my coupon.

I colored and used my glitter pen. Ink the card and image block in brown and stamped the sentiment (Inkadinkado) in brown Cats Eye as well.
Entering this in a couple challenges - To use brown at The Pink Elephant - where I really wanted to use pink - LOL distress it at A Craft Little Place,
and Frosted Designs to use our border punches.
and at Pollycraft Mondays - a birthday card

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

Winter Wishes

I created this card with three challenges in mind
1) Crafty Catz - use a fairy on your holiday card (I used a Studio G stamp glittered)
2) Daring Cardmakers - to make a white card with only a hint of color
3) Frosted Designs - to use the same shape but diff sizes - I used the rectangle
I added punches of snowflakes from Martha Stewart, glittered and raised on foam dots

after glow

I did this LO with memories of my dad who just passed away a few weeks ago. This is the only pic I have of when I was little (1970) with him and I alone. And then on my wedding day (1987). The mass memory card is attached and the back side was the phrase "after glow". How appropriate. Dad I love you.

I was able to complete this Lo with three challenges in mind. 1) MAF - Use black and one other color and bling. 2) At Practical Scrappers we were to use acrylic paints (which is a first for me on a LO!) It was fun. I used a cotton ball and swished it across the glitter black cs. and 3) at Frosted Designs we were to do paper tearing - which I love. I also used black ink on the torn edges. Love how it came out.

Click on the pic for better a view.
The sparkly glitter chip board are from making Memories that I bought to complete this LO at Michael's Craft Store.

TFL!

Hello (card)

Here is the LO I followed at Create4fun:

Main card base - is 4 1/4" x 5 1/2"

The stamp image is from K&Co raised on foam squares. The sentiment is computer typed also on foam squares

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)

Fry box - Halloween treats

I am making these for my sisters and brother who are coming over tomorrow.

With the help of Challenge - week 43 at Create4Fun.

and also at Frosted Designed to Make It Pop Challenge

Here is the pattern if any one wants it

I used Martha Stewart stamps (last Season) and Paper Doll Dress Up from Cricut to cut the ghost at 3". The Sentiment and ghost are on foam dots and this is a 3D item.

Pop Up Gift Card

Over at Project Tuesday we were asked to make a Pop Up gift card. Rather easy and I have seen it done on SCS and other blogs but never attempted it.
You can actually get three gift cards out of one piece of 12 x 12 because the base is cut at 12 x 4"



I added a 4 1/4 x 4 1/4 cover and backing run through my Cuttlebug Fleur de lis embossing folder. Inked with my ColorBox Cat Eyes ink set.

The top accents are a Sizzix swirl/flourish die that I covered in glitter - yes got to have a little bling.
Then for the sentiment - I used the Cuttlebug 4 You postage stamp set. Inked and glittered as well.

Here is what the inside looks like.

Live - LO

Here is a LO of my son and my mother in law. I took this picture at my nephew's wedding last month because they both coincidentally wore purple.

LO for http://sketchythursdays.blogspot.com/

Also shadow was cut for layering effect on each item. Rhinestones added for sparkle and the butterfly is raised on foam dots.
