WT214~Framed & CC214~ For You.....

Good Morning all!

Well I tried my best to combine 2 challenges into one card but this really gave me some trouble...I wanted to make a universal card that I could use for Mother's Day or any day really.

I have a lot of Sizzix dies and always loved the tulip die. They look awesome on Scrapbook pages for Mother's Day, Easter and more. This card is definitely not one of my personal favorites but here it is. I finally got my Spellbinders Dies and I'm having fun using them. I had to use a frame of some sort for the Ways To Use It Challenge and decided to combine the Color Challenge with it...So what do you all think...? Now I'm trying to stay away from the ribbon but the sentiment had to be tied on somehoooooow..... (big whine) :D I'm failing miserably aren't I...lol..

Hope you all have a wonderful day :)

Card Recipe:

Paper: SU Pink Pirouette, Bordering blue and So Saffron pattern paper, Pretty in pink BB CS

Stamps: SU ? :P

Ink: SU Chocolate Chip, Versafine Black

Embellishments: Gold Pearls.........aaaaaaaaannnnnnd yes ribbon....lol..., Sizzix Die Cuts Tulip.

SCS Challenge~CAS10~Monochromatic in Blue

Hi everyone!

I'm gonna be posting regularly from now on as I'm a little more organized than I was before. You'll be seeing a lot more from me in near future :) I'm also trying to create cards with no ribbon (UGH) I can't believe how hard it is not to include ribbon treatments (big sigh)...I have been trying to substitute with other embellishments...let me know how I'm doing...even if you think I need ribbon please...enable...lol....

I'm starting off with a challenge I finally got to do. I love monochromatic color schemes. Bazzill paper is pretty much what made me fall in love with how monochromatic looks on just about everything you create with paper.

So here is my version, which is a simple Mother's Day Card.

Card Recipe:

Stamps: SU All Holidays, Basic Grey

Paper: Bazzill CS in Blues, 100 lb Vellum Smooth CS

Ink: Versafine

Embellishments: Gold Pearls

Thanks for stopping by :)

TLC192~SCS~Challenge

Season's Greetings

Hi everyone, I didn't get a chance to upload this yesterday as it was a card for yesterdays technique challenge on SCS.
I used my favorites self adhesive gold beads for accenting the bottom of the card and the where else you see them. This technique was actually easy to do and loved the way the final end product came out. I didn't want to over do it because the card is already got a busy background so I decided to use gold accenting instead and of course matching ribbon.

I have another challenge to upload a little later...it's actually todays challenge but it's not quite finished and I have to make dinner right now...hope you stop by later :)

Challenge~WT189~Noel

I really enjoyed this challenge only because I got to use a set I've been meaning to use since I got it. I'm really behind with the challenges and love doing them and now that I've started again you'll probably see more from me than the norm. With Xmas coming soon...(yeah I'm preparing for Xmas already) I'll have a lot of Xmas cards and goodies in the near future. This card looks so pretty in person I really don't think the picture I took does it justice...I tried to manipulate the pic enough to show off the details but this was as good as I was going to get with it. The edges were distressed and the snowbanks were dry embossed and glittered with stickles. I only use glass rhinestones...it is my personal preference because the acrylic can look very plastic like on some designs, colors, layouts and so on. The glass rhinestones give off the same look as actual crystal gems which I happen to adore and you will see in many of my cards.. Sometime I do use Swarovski crystals when I make personal cards for friends and special occasions. I also used my favorite colors for this card :) River Rock, Black, and Bashful blue.


Card Recipe:
Stamps: Season of Friendship "Stampin' Up"
Paper: Whisper White, River Rock, Basic Black and Speckled CS unknown.
Ink: River Rock, Bashful Blue "Stampin' UP" Versafine Black
Embellishments: Glass rhinestones, Stickles, Cuttlebug Folders, Bashful Blue ribbon, Tab Punch


Challenge~LSC191~Christmas Wreath



This challenge was today's LSC191 and it felt like it took me forever to do. The design was simple enough to do but creating the wreath itself seemed to take the longest. And I was suppose to use pink in this challenge and I totally forgot! I actually remembered when I uploaded to the thread on SCS...oooooppps. I asked for forgiveness...lol...great bunch of people on SCS.

Now I had a few questions about the gold embellies. I got these at Michael's actually. They are just like the self adhesive pearls only in gold. It comes in a package with three different sizes and 144 pieces. Also come in pearl and silver.

Card Recipe:
Stamps: Little Paper Shop
Paper: DP, Brown textured CS, Bazzill Monochromatics.
Embellishment: MS leaf punch, Gold self adhesive pearls, Shimmer Ribbon, "Stampin' UP" punches and Dimensionals
