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

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.

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!

Merry

Created this card for two challenges, one at Just Buggin #21 Monochromatic challenge, and a new blog I started following today. Bah! Humbug! - we had to use glitter. Oh the messy stuff! Which I have a ton of glitter but try not to use it. LOL

Trees cut at 3" from Doodle Charm Cricut cartridge, the base card was run through the new HSN - Cuttlebug Flurries folder, the glitter - ultra fine from Provo Craft

3) One Stop Craft Challenge #64 love & kisses (in my case "hugs")
and what helped me tie it all together was 4) the wonderful sketch GS #22 at Get Sketchy

Thinking of you - birdhouse

I made the bird house from a heart punch from Stampin' Up. I used my 1/8" whole punch and punched all around the heart. I then embossed it with the Cuttlebug Victoria Embossing folder. I used a circle punch for the bird hole.
The background embossing is from an embossing folder from Quickutz that I bought from DCRU. The grass is a new Martha Stewart punch that I just bought yesterday at Michael's.

This is a 3 panel card, the inner panel is a stamped bird and inside sentiment is from Stampendous.

A is for Angels

Even though I missed the A challenge at the ABC Christmas Challenge blog I still wanted to get in the mode of creating a Christmas Card every week.

The angel is cut from A Joy of The Season Cricut cart, I colored with my markers, added glitter to the wings, and inked the edges with a brown ink pad.
The background is the music folder by Cuttlebug, also inked.
The Music sheet is a printed Google image that I tea stained with Adirondack ink. I crumpled the paper to look old and put the angle on foam squares to raise it up some.

Sweet Valentine card

I made this for my daughter and followed along with the challenge at The Cuttlebug Challenge blog, had to be a red pocket card.

I stamped the cute Stampendous image on red craft foam - yes! You read right - ti is red craft foam. The Stayzon ink is perfect on foam.

The pocket is made by a strip of white card stock punch with a Martha Stewart punch. Adhesive on the sides create the pocket for the sentiment. (Studio G stamp) I used a Stampin Up punch for the pull tab and added some pearls for accent.

Inside Sentiment is a clear Studio image.
