Colour Create!

It's that time again - Colour Create Time! Sharon chose the most beautiful colour scheme this week - Lemon and Lime.

Michelle's Scrapbooking is sponsoring this challenge. Details are over at Colour Create.

Head on over there to check out all of her new products.

I am sorry I don't have a lot to show today. We came down with a nasty bug that lasted up to Christmas day. And then we were traveling to visit my family for the holiday. I managed to squeak out some little Valentines.


These are just little 3" cards that a decorated. Those little stamps are from the Papertrey Ink Tiny Treats set. There are alot of cute stamps from that set that I am hoping to use for my kids Valentines this year, so please stay tuned.

If you really want to see some talent, check out the rest of the design teams projects. WOW - these ladies blow me away every challenge!

Joy to the World!

Hi everyone! I have really been out of commission the last week or so. I actually made this card last week, but never got around to posting it. We needed a quick card for my son's teacher at school and so I used the colors from the Play Date Cafe. I know this post is late, but I am linking back to the challenge anyway because I just loves these colors!



Here is my card:



I used the Cuttlebug Victoria folder to emboss the bottom of the tan cardstock. I added some gold pigment ink to the folder, and then I heat embossed with glittery embossing powder so it would give that sparkly effect

Thanks for Looking!

Embossing with Cuttlebug Victoria folder and Archival Ink Galaxy Gold - heat embossed with Whispers Holograph embossing powder

Burgundy, Pink, and Cream

Colour Create Time again! Seems like the last challenge just started, and we are already on to a new one. The colours this week were chosen by the lovely and talented Dena - Burgundy, Pink, and Cream.

Isn't that a cool inspiration photo? Our sponsor this week is Simon Says Stamp. Please head over there and check out their fabulous selection of products! You can get details about the prize at Colour Create.

And, here is my card:

I found this cute little set of Hero Arts stamps that included 2 little Asian dolls and one stamp that was a thank you message. So I used the thank you stamp with Papertey Ink Scarlet Jewel ink and made a background on a piece of pink cardstock - you can see the thank you messages peaking through the spaces on the burgundy paper. I also stamped the flowers with the same background.

For the doll, flowers, and burgundy background, I used images from the Cricut Pagoda cartridge. I welded the bamboo screen image to a frame. The screen image had all of the spaces that I wanted so that the thank you messages would show through

The "thanks so much" sentiment is from Papertrey Ink Mega Mixed Messages, also stamped in Scarlet Jewel ink. I inked all of the edges with Scarlet Jewel as well. And I added the fancy little jewel embellishments to the flowers.

If you get a chance, please head on over to all of the other design team members blogs. They all have some beautiful creations to share with you!

Snowflakes

I have been wanting to participate in the Embellish Magazine Color challenge, and I am finally able to do so. Check out this inspiration picture:

I just loved this color combo! I haven't used yellow in awhile, and it is so nice and cheerful, so I just had to find the time! I also used the sketch from Papertake Weekly:

Here is my entry:

I printed the sentiment on cream cardstock with my computer. The fancy font is Freebooter Script and the block style font is Californian. I embossed the kraft cardstock with the Cuttlebug Victoria folder.

I added a ribbon ruffle at the bottom. I found this fancy ribbon some time ago, and just never had an occasion to use it. I also used the Fiskars Apron Lace punch at the bottom. In addition to various snowflake stamps, I used the Guidelines Two images for some of the snowflakes on the cream cardstock with the sentiment. I sprinkled some sparkly embossing powder on the stamped snowflakes and heat embossed for a little sparkle. But I love sparkle, so it really needed the little gems too!


My favorite little tool these days is the iTop - I can make brads to match anything! For these brads, I stamped one of the images from the Papertrey Ink Guidelines 2 set using Dark Chocolate ink on aqua cardstock.

Thanks so Much for Looking!

~Hunting~ for a card...

Good Morning everyone! I am so excited because I played in my craft room last night, and my main goal was to create a card for a few challenges, and I am happy to report that I succeeded! The challenges are:

Cute Card Thursday: Use beads

Cupcake Craft Challenges: Create a 5x5 birthday card

SPCC: Use the colors shown to the right

I have been wanting to participate in the SPCC challenges for awhile, and I was finally able to find the time. Now honestly when I saw these colors, I really didn't know what to do - these colors are definitely a challenge!

Here is my submission:

The background papers are all Pink Petticoat, though I modified the colors slightly so they included the colors for the challenge. I use Corel Paint Shop Pro Photo X2, and I copied the colors from Samantha's inspiration photo, then I use the "flood fill" option to modify the colors.

The first 2 lines of the sentiment are from the Clear Dollar Stamps Deer Hunting Set. I used the Happy Birthday sentiment from the Papertrey Ink Sign Language set because the Happy Birthday sentiment in the Deer Hunting set is a little bit too hard to read.

The deer and the trees are from the Cricut Camp Out cartridge.

Thanks so much for Looking!
