Thank You Flowers

Wow this has been a crazy week! I have been making lots of fun things that I can not wait to share with you!

This is a thank you card for a friend of mine. It remind me of spring! Hurry Spring!!!  The sketch is from Splitcoast Stampers Sketch  challenge SC265. I used sets Vintage Labels and Happy Moments from the new Sale-a-bration catalog. The card stock I used was kraft, pretty in pink, certainly celery, barely banana, and whisper white. I ran the certainly celery background through the Big Shot using the SU exclusive texture plate. I added two silver brads to the top corner. Then I created the sparkly dots by stamping the stamp with versamark, then applying heat and stick powder. I used the heating tool to heat it up. I then sprinkled Dazzling Diamonds on top. Then on to the focal point of the card..... I stamped the flowers with Basic Black classic ink. I used pretty in pink, barely banana, and certainly celery markers for the flowers and the saying. To create the saying I used the large oval punch, the modern label punch, and the word window punch. I used the 2-way glue pen and dazzling diamonds around the edge of the saying to add some flare. I also added a strip of pretty in pink grosgrain ribbon.

Thanks for stopping by and I wish you a very creative day!!!

Mini Thank You!

I made a little 3x3 Thank You card! I used the set retired Hostess set called A Little Somethin'. I got this layout idea from my upline Gaylyn. She made me a kit of cards when my daughter was in the hospital at the beginning of the year. So here is what I came up with. I used chocolate chip, pink pirouette, whisper white, and certainly celery card stock. I stamped the main image with stazon black and then used the pretty in pink and certainly celery markers. I also used dazzling diamonds too! I punched this out with the 1 3/4 circle punch. I used the mat pack and paper piercing tool for the certainly celery strip. Then I used the Cuttlebug embossing folder called Texture for the pink layer. Just a quick and easy thank you card. One can never have enough!

A Challenging Thank You

Wow! This card was a challenge for me to say the least! Two challenges this time! I was following along with Kristina Werner's Color Inspiration Challenge #55 and Kerin over at Stamps, Paper, Glitter's Sketch Challenge #18. The sketch was fun, but the colors were a challenge!

I used the stamp set called Illuminations and the wheel called Illuminated. I used vellum, very vanilla, really rust, more mustard, and basic gray card stock. I used basic gray, really rust, and more mustard classic ink. I stamped the image twice, once on to very vanilla cs and then on to vellum with basic gray ink. I mounted these two layers on to the more mustard layer with dimensionals. The mm layer was then glued on to the really rust one. I stamped the image again with really rust and then cut out the "T." I used dimensionals to add it to the main image. I ran a strip of more mustard through a Cuttlebug embossing folder called D'Vine Swirls. I then used the wheel with more mustard ink and added both strips to the card. I then added the main image and the flower designer brad.

Flower Card with No STAMPING!!!

I can not believe I made a card with NO stamping! I just used some circle punches and an embossing folder!



This is a great little card for a thank you or just a little note! This card measures 3 x 3". I used pink pirouette, whisper white, riding hood red, and kiwi kiss card stock. I ran the ww through my Sizzix machine with the Swiss Dots embossing folder by Cuttlebug. I then cut punched out 3 circles using the 1 3/4, 1 3/8 and 1 1/4 circle punches. I used the cutter kit to distress the edges and then I bent them all up to age the paper. I attached each layer with a dimensional. I placed a pink pirouette button tied with white embroidery thread to the top. The leaves were made with a punch too. I used the 1 3/8 circle punch to create them and then distressed them just like I did to the flower! I attached the flower and there you have it! :o)

Butterflies

This is the card that I made for Kristina Werner's Color Inspiration Challenge #45. It is also for my sister for her 18th birthday which is tomorrow!!!

The colors for this weeks challenge are basic black, basic gray, and whisper white! My sister loves black and white, so I thought this challenge would be great for her card! I also am using my new stamp set from the Occasions Mini called Great Friend!

I decided to use card stock in all of the colors! I stamped the butterflies with Stazon Basic Black and heat embossed them with clear and tinsel silver embossing powder. (The silver powder is from Stamp-n Stuff). I cut them out and mounted them on to the ww card stock. I then created several layers of card stock. For the saying I used the same stamp set. I stamped the flourish in stazon black and then cut it out. I then stamped the saying in basic gray and cut it out to layer it on the flourish. I used my scallop edge punch on the basic gray layer.

A Lovely Flower Thank You

This is my card for Kristina Werner's Color Inspiration Challenge #42! I know!!! Can you believe it!!! I actually had a chance to make a card on the first night of the challenge and not at the last minute!!! Usually my name is one of the last on this challenge!! Not this time!!! WOOO HOOOO!! Anyway! I really needed some stamping therapy, so here is my card.... the colors this week were more mustard, really rust, kiwi kiss, and whisper white! Great combo right! I fell in love with kiwi kiss all over again!!!

I used two stamps sets this time! For the swirls, I used Baroque Motifs and for the saying, I used Short & Sweet. I used card stock in all of the colors from the challenge. I used Kiwi Kiss classic ink. For the ovals I used Spellbinders ovals on my Sizzix machine. I used the Swiss Dots embossing folder from Cuttlebug on the whisper white oval. I must love this folder! I have been using it a lot lately! I created the flower using the 1 3/8", 1 1/4", and the 1" circle punches along with the cutter kit to age the edges. I did trim the inner circle a bit because I wanted to see the more mustard a bit more. I also used a kiwi kiss button and dimensionals to make it pop.

Retro Fruit Thank You

I used the Tart and Tangy set. I used basic black, real red, so saffron, green galore, and whisper white card stock. I also used green galore and basic black ink pads. I used so saffron and real red markers. For punched I used the word window, the scallop edge punch, and the scallop square punch. I used the Swiss Dots embossing folder from Cuttlebug for the background. I used dimensionals to pop each of the layers. And I used Stickles for the glitter. For that final touch I used real red grosgrain ribbon and attached it with a glue dot.

Dragonfly and Flowers

Here is my entry for Kristina Werner's Color Challenge #35 ! Ok so the title should say Dragonflies and Flowers, but I added the second dragonfly and forgot to change the title. Then I submitted it for the challenge....and now I can not change it! Oh well! :O) This was a quick card too! I had no time at all to create it!! So busy these days!!

The colors for this challenge are chocolate chip, close to cocoa, baja breeze, so saffron, and very vanilla. I used card stock in all of those colors except for the so saffron. I chose the Pocket Silhouettes for the stamp set. For ink, I used baja breeze, so saffron, and chocolate chip. I used Stickles for the glitter. I used Baja Breeze striped ribbon and a very vanilla hodgepodge hardware. I used the designer label punch too! I also used the hostess stamp set called Organic Grace for the dragonflies!
