Operation Write Home

I was on my fb page and read on the Operation Write Home (OWH) wall that one of our soldiers is in the hospital due to an injury.

So I created this card using a few challenges
Color challenge of red white blue yellow and black at Paper Cutz Challenge
Sketch challenge at Get Sketchy

GS #50

A Very Merry

I bought this background paper tonight at M's - it's a 12 x 12 sheet from We R memory Keepers and when I saw the star burst it reminded me of snowflakes which goes well with th challenges for tonight.
1) non traditional colors for a Christmas card (no red or green) at Paper Cutz Challenge
2) Free choice at CSAYL (hi Maria)
3) this sketch used at Get Sketchy
The stamps used on this were from Inkadinkado
Brown Stayzon was used as well

Best Wishes

I made this card for my Brother-in-law who loves elephants.
His birthday is in a week so these challenges helped me get this done and in the mail today.
This card that resulted from these challenges:
1) One stop challenge #65– make it personable (elephant for my BIL from Cricut Zoo Balloo at 3")

2) At Colour create #37 we had to use pink blue white silver

3) Paper Cutz #26 Masculine card w/pink

4) and at Get Sketchy #23 – use their layout to pull it all together

5) Frosted Designs – emboss something – I embossed the back ground with the Cuttlebug folder.

The sentiment is from Stupendous and I used the Stampin up label punch as well

Hoppy Easter

Yes - I know I am a little early, but I was looking for a farm animal stamp to make a card for Paper Cutz Challenge
We could use traditional or digi, so I looked through by draws of rubber stamps and came across this cute Studio G bunny stamp
Mounted it on swirl pattern paper and onto a Herringbone Cuttlebug Embossing folder.
Added ribbon and rhinestones. Too cute!

Snowmen group

I just love the little snowman and the little tag on this card.
I am entering this into Paper Cutz snowman Snowflake challenge #21

All items used are from Stampin' Up.

Fluffles Christmas

I love Fluffles.... and I used this for three challenges

Paper Cutz Challenge # 20 was to use a Christmas Image

One Stop Craft Challenge was to use their layout for Challenge 57 - Sketch

Crafty Catz CHALLENGE 11 Colour challenge we were to use red, green and silver. The silver is wonderful Stampin Up Card stock.
I also used the Cuttlebug D'vine Swirls embossing folding on the base.
Inside is a Merry Christmas sentiment cut from JOTS Cricut cartridge at 1 1/2"

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.

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

Here is a card I created using Doodle Palace sketch by Viv and image. I also created this with Paper Cutz Challenge # 10 in mind, we had to use three buttons.

Card stock and pp by Stampin' Up. I cut the bear a few times and raised sections on pop dots to give him demension.

Glitter card stock (yellow) by Wausau Papers

Sentiment by Magnetic Poetry and the lovely smooth buttons are from American Crafts

Bling it a Holiday Greetings

Paper Cutz Challenge # 9 was to glitz it, bling it, get your sun glasses out challenge for a Christmas card.

I used irridescent Origami paper for the accent layer.

Glitter for the snow, snow globe made using Joy of The Season Cricut Cartridge (Thanks to the idea at Cardz TV on how to make a snow globe).

Inside run through the Cuttlebug script Embossing folder, the punch out section was used with the Martha Stewart snowflake punch. (also glittered the negative space) Sentiment is from DCVW.

Wedding card using Paper Cutz challenge

Paper Cutz Challenge # 7 was to use the layout shown.

I needed to complete a wedding card for my nephew who is getting married tomorrow afternoon.

This was the perfect LO to help me finish the card.
