We have a new challenge over at

Sparkles Christmas #188

Theme: How sweet it is

I had to borrow a Pumpkin monthly kit from my Stampin up friend. I did not have anything in my large stash of stamps that fit this theme. I can't wait to see what everyone comes up with for this theme. 

It had this cute ginger bread house and arch was another piece in the kit that fit over the door and I used my arch die to cut it off the other piece. I stamped the sentiment that was in the kit. I added twine and used a piece of glitter paper and a Marvy punch to add the snowflake to the twine bow. I used a Stampin up embossing folder for the background. I added the ginger bread house and added the candy swirls to the card. I added this to a piece of dark green card stock.

Hello

Alphabet Challenge

Theme: I - for insects

I was over at my friends house just visiting and we decided to create cards.. I saw a template she had on her desk that had circles cut out of it. So grabbed the Ranger inks and three colors and just did circles where I thought they should be. 

Once happy with that I used her large Butterfly stamp and stamped it. I added the Simon says sentiment and a few diamond drills. I love how this came out. Was so simple but effective.

Cardz 4 Galz #283 Happy Birthday

Hello

We have a new challenge over at

Cardz 4 Galz #283 

Theme: Kraft and Blue

This was a fun card to create. Again I chose to use paper colors vs. copic coloring.  The products are Stampin up. The happy birthday ??? no idea but I like it.  I chose some different blues to work with and die cut the images and laid out different ways and came to liking this layout best. I added the white pieces as it felt like it needed more to fill in the gaps. I added the ribbon and the bling. I added it to a dark blue base.

Cardz 4 Guyz #389

Theme: Hot air balloon

I created the background with my Sky template and ground template. I then stamped the Stampin up trees in SU green ink. I die cute the SU hot air balloons and banner and added to the card to create a scene. I think I will send this to my brother and SIL for Christmas.. They were married in a hot air balloon quite a few years ago.  I had them in mind when I created my card.

Hello all

We have a new challenge over at 

Crafty Gals Corner #279

Theme: ATG / Summer vibes

I was going through my dies and found this strip die from Simon Says and thought gee I've had it forever and don't think I have ever used it. Never...  so I thought now is the time. I laid it down and cut and backed the white behind it. Then die cut the flowers from Stampin up and used Ranger ink to add some colors. I added the SS sentiment and added a little brush of Ranger to it and added. I sprinkled some Perfect pearls.
