My Second Favorite Card

I haven't had time yet today to make and post a new card, so I'm showing one I made last year. It was my favorite until I made the card I posted yesterday! This card was made with Papertrey Paper (White, Aqua Mist & Everyday Blessings), Dotted Swiss Ribbon, and Aqua Mist Ink. The stamp set is SU Both Way Blossoms. I colored with Prismacolor pencils & Gamsol, added red stickles for some pizzaz! I also used the ticket corner punch & Button brads. I sponged around the edges of the white card stock and added some opal stickles for extra sparkle.
Well, we are supposed to have a winter storm later today. Hopefully I'll get to create something new.

Oldies But Goodies Blog Hop

I'm so glad to be participating in this months OBG hop!! I haven't made any cards for about 3 months!! Posting on my blog has been lacking too!! (P.S. I hate this new Blogger layout for posting!!)  Our blog hop showcases cards made with items that we have had "stashed" for at least 6 months. An "Oldie but goodie" that we've pulled out and blown off the dust to create something with it. I made 2 cards for the hop today!! I actually colored them about 3 months ago, but they have just been sitting around!  They are both Sassy Cheryl Birthday images. This is Birthday Balloon boy. Cardstock is Yoyo Yellow, dp is "Celebrations" bu the Paper Studio. I added 2 balloon brads and used Bakery Twine for the strings. Sentiment is a miscellaneous one, ink is Pacific Blue. I used the SU oval and scalloped oval punch and pierced it. It is colored with Copics.     This cutie is called "Cheesy Surprise Gift". Card stock is Green Gable, d...

Limited Supplies Challenge & my sewing attempt!!

Image
This was the Limited Supplies Challenge on SCS from yesterday. We were to make a card for someone we love, using the colors of Red , White, Black and Pink . Also to incorporate polka dots. I love Black & White cards!!! I just don't make enough of them!! The inside of the card has a white piece of cardstock, and I've stamped Happy Valentine's Day in black ink. Paper: SU Black, misc dp, Gina K pure luxury. Ink : Melon Mambo Accessories : Nesties, Cuttlebug, ribbon, primas, brads, Prismacolor Marker Next was my attempt to zig-zag stitch on paper. This was my 3rd attempt!! I still couldn't get it right. I was using the hand control instead of the foot pedal, so maybe that was my problem! Plus the thread kept breaking!! This was one of my Christmas presents, a Singer Quick Fix Complete Mini machine. I really wanted to get the zig-zag right!!! The straight stitch was ok. So, I wasted almost a whole sheet of 12x12 DP, and a piece of Certainly Celery Cardst...

Finally, 3 more cards done!!

Image
Well, finally I've gotten a few cards done!! With being on my little vacation and working, AND getting addicted to FARKLE (Facebook) I just haven't had enough time!! If only I didn't have to work!!! I'd have more free time!! ( I wouldn't be able to eat, live in a house, buy clothes or pay for crafting supplies either, so I guess I better keep on working!!!) My first card is a Secret Sisters Challenge card #1, making a non traditional card, so I chose a Gate Fold card. It is much prettier IRL. You can't see the added sponging to the white areas, and the Dp is really cool!! Recipe: Stamp: Stamps by Judith (F-204-HK), The {Stamps} of life Set#1 (Stephanie Barnard) Paper: Creative Memories DP, SU Night of Navy, Not Quite Navy, PTI Aqua mist, White. Ink: Memento black, Bashful Blue, Taken With Teal Accessories: Nesties (Blossom), Prismacolor Markers, Dimensionals, Stickles. I've made a couple more Halloween Cards.
