Just Because

Welcome back to my second post for today. 

Its really unbelievable that November is here already!!! Yep that turkey (or whatever you will be making) will be cooking in the oven pretty soon. 

Since it's November 1, The Love To Scrap Challenge has started and hope you stop on over and check out the other projects from the other designers. 

For my project I decided to make a floral card. Even though it's fall I decided to use pink on my card. 

I decided to make a slimline card. I used a digital floral image and used 2 of them to make the flowers look more like a bouquet. I used some Spectrum Sparkle and Wink of Stella to color the flowers. I used some white CS scraps, cut in 1/4" strips to add just a little something to that pink background. I also snipped some green CS scraps to look like sprigs for the floral design.

The sentiment is also digital and I printed it off using my toner printer and I foiled it with a pink foil. Sorry that this pic really doesn't show off that beautiful pink foil. 

SUPPLIES I USED ON MY PROJECT

Stamps: Digital - Gracielle Designs - Flowers - from the Together set, Sentiment from the Bougainvillea Galore set Paper/Card Stock: White CS, Green CS, Pink CS Dies: Spellbinders - Ovals Accessories: Spectrum Sparkle; Wink of Stella; thin paint brush; Minc Mini Machine; Pink Foil

I am submitting my card in the following challenges:

• Cupcake Inspirations   - #556 - Anything Goes  (#17)

• Polkadoodles  #44 - Anything Goes (#29)

Merry Christmas

 Hello Everyone 

WOW!!!!!!  November is here and I am getting in the Christmas mode.

I have already got some presents bought and stashed away. How about you???

Speaking of Christmas, The Merry Little Christmas Challenge has begun and I sure hope you visit to check out the other DT's project. Great place for some Christmas inspiration. 

So now it's time to focus on Christmas cards. Have you started making yours yet?? No!! Well let me give you an idea. 

I know some of you like to make easy to make cards and some like more intricate cards. Well this card is kind of in-between, I think.

This card reminds me of a paint swatch you can get from the local store, you know, the ones that have a few colors in a color family and a little white space in-between those colors. 

Here is my card 

Doesn't that remind you of a paint swatch! 

This card is a 6X6. Next I cut a white layer of CS and rounded the top two corners and attached it to the green card base. Then, I cut 3 green vertical panel pieces, the same width and about 4" in length. I used a spruce evergreen die to cut the smaller tree on the 2 end pieces and I used the medium spruce evergreen die on the center panel piece. I used the corner rounder on the two end panels. I trimmed the two end panels the same length on the bottom. The center panel is also trimmed on the bottom just a little higher than the end ones.These 3 panels are attached to that white layered piece. Next I attached the spruce evergreen trees in the open spaces and left a little white space to accent the tree shape.

I added a gold heat embossed sentiment to the bottom under those vertical panels. The sentiment piece is layered on a piece of gold CS. To add some additional interest, I used some gold dots from some outline stickers I have in my stash. 

SUPPLIES I USED ON MY PROJECT

Paper/Card Stock: White CS, Green CS, Gold CS Ink: VersaMark Dies Used: Heartfelt Creations - Frolicking Frosty and Spruce (I just used the small and medium spruce tree dies) Accessories: Gold Embossing powder, Corner Rounder. Gold dots from Outline stickers set.

I am submitting my card to the following challenges:

• Dream Valley Challenges - #281 - Dies and/or Punches (#23)
• Jan's Digi Stamps Challenge  - October - Anything Goes (#145)
• Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge  - Christmas (#44)
• The Corrosive Challenges  - October - Anything Goes (#155)
• A Gem of a Challenge  - #22 - Anything Goes  (#90)

• My Time To Craft Christmas  No. 46 (MUST BE CHRISTMAS) THEME OF CAS STYLE FOR OTHER WINTER HOLIDAYS  (#1)

Well I hope you got some inspiration from my design. Its pretty easy to do and makes a beautiful card. 

Thanks for stopping by. I will be back soon

Trick or Treat

Hello and thanks for stopping in today!!

Well, since halloween is right around the corner, I decided to make a card that celebrated that fun holiday.

I recently got a freebie from KaDoodle Bug Designs and he was calling out to me to use him on a card.(I guess it's a him, LOL) 

Snce I had a few other things on my table, I decided to incorporate some of them on this card. 

First, I used the Peeking Pumpkin Skunk digital image from KaDoodle Bug Designs as the main part of the card. Next I used some pumpkin shapes and a fence. The sentiment is from an old Unity halloween set and I used some circles and an oval die cut shapes as well.  BTW that background is one of the sheets I made using my Gel Plate. I make these and then hold on to them to use on cards from time to time.

Here is the finished card using all those things.

 

SUPPLIES I USED ON MY PROJECT

Stamps: Digi stamp - KaDoodle Bug Designs - Peeking Pumpkin Skunk; Rubber Stamp - Heartfelt Creations - Fence - Hollyhock Fence Paper/Card Stock: White CS, Black CS, Orange CS Ink: VersaFine Clair - Morning Mist Dies Used: Heartfelt Creations - Fence - Hollyhock Fence; Spellbinders - Oval and Circles and Pumpkins Accessories: Spectrum Noir alcohol Markers, Gel Plate, Acrylic Paints, Stencils
