Merry Monday #83

This weeks challenge over at Merry Monday is to use strips, red, chocolate brown with stars or hearts. I had so many ideas but had a hard time with the stars or hearts part of the challenge... Here's what I came up with...

Used a candy cane embossing folder on real red cs, edgelit on the ivory with red twine and a chipboard star (colored with ink and then cinnamon stickles) The merry and bright stamp comes from Unity Stamps Ocotober kit of the month. Used chalk talk framelits on the ivory and brown tag.

Thanks so much for stopping by and leaving a comment. I'm off to make lunch for my muchkins and then I'll be back to comment on the cards created.

Oh Christmas Tree...

Today's card was created for two challenges. First the sketch from Sketch Frenzy Friday SFF110813  and also Unity's Friends with Flair 

 

Embossed the card front with snowflakes and used some silver Inka Gold Metallic Rub. A few banners with the new paper from Stampin up. Inked up the trees and sentiment from Unity Stamps October 2013 kit of the month. Oh and my most favorite item is that little bit of glitter to the left of the trees... it's adhesive glitter ribbon from Close to my Heart.

Good Times

I received the best surprise for my birthday this year! I'm heading to Las Vegas for four days with my sister in law. My hubby will be home from work later today and I'm flying out Friday morning. This is my fourth trip to Vegas and I'm just as excited this trip as the first. I will miss my babies and hubby but know that they will have fun here too. I might even miss the first snow fall of the year.

Anyways enough about that, on to the card I created for my sister in law as a thank you for taking this funfilled trip with me! Card Layout is from this weeks Tuesday Morning Sketch. Created this card using products from Close to my Heart and Stamping up. I used some dsp from SU called Eastern Elegance. Cardstock is slate grey (CTMH), whispering white and coastal cabana (SU) Inks are slate grey and coastal cabana. I added some ribbon instead of punching a border on the sentiment and added a resin flower to the center of the paper flowers.

Merry Monday #74 and Tuesday Morning Sketches 3215

Another fun Christmas card to add to my stash! I think my total is up to 40 cards now.

Todays card is for Merry Monday Challenge: to use green and white with woodgrain and Tuesday Morning Sketches! I dug out some garden green and pistaschio pudding. Embossed this Santa with versa mark and white powder. Using spellbinders circles and scallops around him, mounted on white cardstock that was run through the big shot with the wood grain folder from Stampin up. Used word window and modern label punches for the sentiment and added 6 pearls around the edges.

Please pop over to Merry Monday and Tuesday Morning Sketches and check out the great cards posted there! Thanks for stopping by.

Christmas Penguin

I can't take any credit on the design of this card as I got the idea straight out of the current CTMH catalogue (page 9) The garland over lay is cut out using the newest cricut cartridge ARTBOOKING.  Other details about my card are paper is from a 4x6 creative pad called snow fun from Pebbles Inc, Stamps are from Unity Stamp Co. (Christmas Wishes), Slate Ink and Strawberry Slush Marker, Smoothie Baker's Twine.

Princess Card

I created this card for our little friends 3rd birthday party today. She is having a princess themed party so I knew I had to use the paper doll cartridge for the cricut. All the paper on this card is out of my scrap bin. I used my xron to attach all the pieces. Off to wrap the gift and pack up the kids :) Have a great day everyone!

Dynamic Duos #66-Light Aqua and Black with the OPTION of Embossing

 

This card started as a thank you for our principal who did an amazing children's message at Church this week. Do you think it turned out manly or girly? I am undecided and need your opinions.

I finally got a minute to play with chalk talk using black and cool caribbean. I inked up a Lifestyle Crafts embossing folder with "cool caribbean" on white paper and ran it through my big shot. Using dimensionals on the banner and button to pop them up. Love this color combo and will be entering it over at Dynamic Duos. If you haven't already hop over to their blog and take a peek.
