Christmas Wishes

Hi Everyone, This is my latest card for the Atlantic Hearts Sketch Challenge, a great sketch made by Michelle. I have used Poinsettia die from Spellbinders as the main focal point of the card. I then used paper from the Merry Moments Scrapbooking kit, and of course my favorite  Cherry Cobbler seam binding ribbon. and to finish it off I have used the sentiment from the Joyous Celebrations. The colors I have used are Cherry Cobbler, Garden Green, and Crumb Cake.
Thanks for looking, have a great week.

Santa's Helpers

This week at Holly Jolly Christmas our challenge is all about the elves, you know the little guys that help Santa make the toys, or fill the bags with them. Anyway I decided to make a couple of tags for the challenge instead of a card, I have used the two tags die to make the tags, I used the jolly holiday paper as the background then used the Bugaboo, our sponsor this week , elf tag as the main focal image on each, Colored them in opposite colors.What a fun challenge.

Winter

This week at Come and Get It Challenges, we have a new challenge, called Winter, so Anything that is related to winter is good to go, so why not come and join us. My card uses the best set that ever came out from Stampin Up, of course that is my opinion, but anyway it is Lovely as a tree. I have used the large stamp with the trees, I have stamped it onto the background and then again onto the tag. I have sponged the sky, and added lots of glitter for the snow. Love how it turned out, but it isn't just a card, it is a gift card holder, when opened up the gift card slides out the bottom. I love this style. Anyway thanks for looking.

Thanksgiving Traditions

Puppy Love

This week at Wags'n Whiskers we have a brand new challenge, and that is to add some leaves to your project. I have selected the image Puppy Love to work with this time around, isn't it so sweet. I decided to put them into a fall scene and added leaves to the ground and tree.  The tree is a memory box die, the leaves are punches, and the background is a cloud embossing folder from Stampin Up. 

I hope you will come join us for this fun challenge. 

Thanks for looking.

It was a simple sketch and with the upcoming holiday season getting closer, a very quick and easy one for any holiday card. so come join us won't you.

Garden Inspired Birthday

This week at Crafting for All Seasons we have a new challenge celebrating Birthdays. For my card I am using a stamp from Stampin Up called  Garden from the Heart. I have colored with Promarkers, and cut out into an oval and pierced the border, I then framed it using a Spellbinders floral fancy die. The glove and trowel are cut out and popped up. I used Watercolor Wonder paper from Stampin Up for the background and the greeting is from the itty bitty banner set and cut out with matching dies. The colors I have used are  Pool Party and  Crushed Curry I also paper pieced the ribbon on the hat.

Color Challenge at HJC

This week at Holly Jolly Christmas Challenge, we have an unusal color challenge, you actually have a choice between a number of combinations of colors, so much fun. Anyway I have used the Blue White and Silver combination for my card. I am using an image from one of our sponsors Fitztown, which this is called Winter 10, one of my favorite images from them. Some of the other ladies have done some great cards using our other sponsor Art by Miran, so you will have to pop by to check them out. I have used an embossing resist technique for the background first stamping the snowflakes from Snowflake Soiree set from Stampin Up on to the background embossed with clear embossing powder, then went over with Night of Navy Ink. I have added some icicles which I have die cut, a new one for me. for the edges of the card, and then added some beautiful two tone blue and a white rose to the card with some pine branch sprigs. To finish it off I added the greeting from Petite Pairs from Stampin Up.
