Crackle Paint Fall tag

I used Ranger's Pine Needle crackle paint by Tim Holtz on my hand made tag.
I've had this paint for some time and finally used it, I guess I hoard my craft supplies!
I then embossed the Inkadinkado leaf image with gold sparkle emossing powder

If you like more details I put together a video to show all the details and supplies I used.

Birthday pop up

We are heading out my BIL's today and I was just told it was his birthday 2 weeks ago (10th!). OMG
I must make a birthday book to remember all these birthdays! So after a meeting I had tonight I had to try and make a masculine card.

Here is what i came up and finished at midnight, too tired to post then I am posting now....
Stamp image is from Inkandinkado Illuminata. I used SU ink and ribbon Wild Wasabi on cream colored paper. I wanted something different so I used the highlighted method as seen in the rust colored circles cut from my Coluzzle.

Inside I did a pop up - also stamped in my stash from SU! And ran an embossed border from the clocks Cuttlebug folder
I smashed a bottle cap in my Cuttlebug and proceeded to die cut a circle from my Cuttlebug and stamp a little candle on it. It is suspended off the ribbon by 28 gauge wire.

I am entering this card in the following challenges:
Priscillas styles - use Layout
Fabulous Friday's use metal
Cuttlebug spot pop it up
Kaboodle Doodle - a fold we have not used in awhile
Simon Says - Coffee and cream color theme
Tuesday Throwdown - a 3D creation (Thanks coach fan!)

Hugs & Kisses

Created this card to send off tomorrow and followed the sketch at The ABC Challenge blog.

Elements I used were
Image by Tiddly Inks
Pattern Paper by Sweetwater
Sentiment by Inkadinkado
Punches by SU, and the Label One Nestabilities Spellbinders die that I cut and embossed the bear and mat.
Embossing - Cuttlebug Victoria Embossing folder

Be Mine

I love this digi from Tiddly Inks!
He just screams - hug me!
I colored him with my markers and colored pencils, I feel he should have been gray but since I just did an elephant I wanted to use a different color....
I had scraps of pattern paper (Provo Craft) from a previous craft project and they fit perfect for the Layout from OWH S&S
I am entering this card into the challenge at The Paper Players and Sentimental Sunday for Valentine's and love theme
The sentiment I think is from Inkadinkado
The punches I used are from SU! and the yarn (fibers) is from Red Heart

Birds and Swirls Mother's Day card

Here is another card that I was requested to make - so I used the layout from Crazy 4 Challenges and the recipe idea from Raise The Bar #50
This will also be entered in the Stars and Stamp blog challenge unused item and Crafty Catz forgotten stamp..
The Image is from Inkadinkado which I have had for so long and can't remember if I ever used it! The pattern paper is from Provo Craft the rhinestones are from Michael's. I cut out the fabulous scallop circle from Spellbinders.

Holiday Season - sentiment focal point

At OWH and Bah Humbug! the card had to have the sentiment as the focal point.

I bought this stamp a long long time ago (it's by Inkadinkado) and with it being so large - it fits perfect on an A2 card.

Layers and foam mounted it for height.
Add a couple rows of satin ribbon and little rhinestone for bling.

Birdhouse note card

I just bought this adorable wood mounted stamp at M's made by Inkadinkado
I used the color scheme at Scrapmaster's Paradise and the sketch from Charisma Cardz Challenge
Colored the image with my EK success color pencils and added Prima Flowers to the accent piece.

hello

When I saw this sketch - I knew what stamp I wanted to use. This is a wood mounted stamp from recollections that I used Adirondack "lettuce" color ink.
I followed the sketch from Clean & Simple
I followed the color recipe at Scrapmaster's paradise
This also goes with the T is Tree Alphabet Challenge Blog

The border punch and sentiment punch from SU!
Sentiment from Inkadinkado

Thank You - Summer in Paris Car cut

I really like this car cut from Cricut Summer in Paris however it took me 4 times to cut it. These cuts are very intricate and I end up using thicker cardstock and slowing the speed down. Still not perfect to my liking, but my sister asked me to make a THANK YOU card for her with a car on it.

I embossed the back ground and stamped Thank you on a SU punched piece. The ribbon is also from SU.

I am entering this in a couple challenges - Transportation at Crafty Creations and For Fun challenge we are to use black and white and one color.

S is for Snow

When Paulette released this image last night - I fell in love with it. (if you use her images please leave her a tip!)
I am entering this card into a few challenges:

The card format of a gate fold card at (got to use my MS score board!) Project Tuesday
Theme challenge of clean and simple at The Paper Players

Season's Greeting

Created this card mainly for the OWH challenge blog they provided sketch #34 for us to follow and I used the challenge of no red and green on a Christmas card at Pollycraft Monday. Also the technique of sanding white core card stock which I love to do to enhance a Cuttlebug embossing background. In this case the snowflakes for Practical Scrappers.
Sentiment from Inkadinkado

Tree from SU

Cricut Mission card using C&S sketch

This is for mission 659 - This woman was diagnose with cancer and she likes purple, pink, turquoise, & melon & she loves dragonflies. Coincidentally I used the dragonfly stamp last night and sorry to use it again so quickly. I used the sketch from Clean & Simple 105

Same LO - lots of cards same but diff

At the Cuttlebug challenge blog - Betty challenged us to create multiple card using the same LO - to help us complete more cards.
I tried her technique which I never did before.

Make you own score borders, add the sentiment and CB the top portion.
The sentiments are from Inkadinkado.

I used the following CB folders
Swiss Dots
Holiday Scene
Snowflakes
Allegro
Each score mark was at 1/2", 3/4", 1 1/2", and 1 3/4"
This allowed me 3/4" to stamp my sentiment using the Stamp-a-ma-jig

Star Light ... Cuttlebug Challenge

Here is another challenge From Cuttlebug Challenges provided to us - to create a layered star card. I used Wild Card to cut the star shapes. I ran both layers through two different embossing folders. Glitter the cute dear (SU!) and sentiment (SU!) with embossing powder from Stampendous. Added a few rhinestones in each point. Inside sentiment (I added a rhinestone to the exclamation point after I took the pic) from Inkadinkado.
Entering this in the Cuttlebug Challenge of course as well as Rosie D's creatures big and small.

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.
