Pirate Loot of luck

Followed the sketch at Polly Craft Challenge Blog and the theme of water (Pirates) at Quixotic blog

Changito got his lucky loot!

a very merry Christmas

How many weeks till Christmas? Gotcha.... just my weekly Christmas card to be prepared as I make around 80 each year.

This card is for a few challenges:
ABC Christmas Challenge - H is for Holly
Allsorts Challenge - use stitches (I used rub ons)
CSAYL - use die cuts - the top layer and the rectangle
Crafty Catz use red green and a punch - the holly is actually a Cricut cut from A Child's Year cartridge
Quixotic Challenge - to use metal - I used the turns and and the brads from Stampin' Up hodgepodge hardware kit

Thoughts

I was flipping through the latest Stamp IT! magazine and saw a monochromatic card.
I created one similar but used my Cuttlebug birds and swirls folder, two Stampin' Up punches and a script stamp.
Ink used use purely pomegranate by Stampin' Up
Ribbon on tag by Offray
Entering this in the Quixotic Challenges mono challenge

Happy Anniversary

Made this for an up coming anniversary (not mine) and used the Wild Card Cricut cartridge for all the hearts.
Don't you love the little pocket! The cute tag is also on Wild Card cart (heart card page 67) I just cut a strip of paper rounded the corners and used two eyelets to make a pocket - ribbon through the eyelets for a little dimension. This element helped me also enter the card on Quixotic challenge "Tag it". All the hearts are raised on foam squares.

The back ground white card is stamped and embossed with embossing powder and heat gun.
I was inspired by the challenge at BBtB2 - become a follower today they have great ideas and challenges!
Also entering this at Daring Cardmakers - put hearts on a project for their Have a Heart challenge
MS glitter and pearls as well added for bling.

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
