Love you,

Hi everyone,

Today I'm sharing a card that I created for the Wednesday challenge at Simon Says Stamp here for their 'Have a Heart' theme.

I used an Edgeabilities die from Spellbinders and embossed the bottom portion of the panel. I then took a piece of patterned vellum and die cut the large heart. Used the small heart die for the gold and red hearts cut from glossy and metallic cardstock.

Added some red splatters to the background and then assembled the hearts in place.

Gold embossed the sentiment and there you have it!

Thanks for stopping by today,

Judy

Hi there,

Today I am sharing a card that I created for the One Year Anniversary at http://thecardconcept.blogspot.ca/2015/01/card-concept-100-happy-one-year.html
This is their photo source:

Here is what I came up with.
I decided to go with the Clean and Simple look for my card:

I stamped and masked each of the flowers and embossed them in white and them I coloured the flowers using Inktense Pencils as they are nice and vibrant.

When I was finished with the colouring I fussy cut the flowers and adhered to the card base with foam squares. Added the sentiment and some sequins.

Thanks for stopping by,

Happy New Year

Happy New Year everyone,

Well we're onto another year of crafting fun. I just love this hobby!

I want to wish everyone a Happy and Healthy new year filled with lots of wonderful things.

I am entering this card in the "Anything Goes" challenge at http://www.simonsaysstampblog.com/wednesdaychallenge/simon-says-anything-goes-11/

The background was created using 4 different ink colours which were blended together then the panel was cut using a large rectangle stitched die.

After that was done I added some white and watermark ink circles. Kind of reminds me of 

champagne bubbles but without the headache lol!

Added the Happy die (which was cut 3 times) to which I added little dots of Stickles for a little glitter effect.

Stamped the sentiment and added a little cupped sequin.

Well that's it for today.

Off to re-organizing my craft room and trying to purge some stuff. Seems this is something I always like to do at the start of a new year. You know what they say - out with the 'old' and in with the 'new' and my local craft store is having a big sale tomorrow. Yeah!!!

Hugs,

Judy

Hi everyone,

Well we are slowly approaching another year gone by. Wow! How the times just flies by.
The card that I created is for the current challenge at http://casethissketch.blogspot.ca/2014/12/case-this-sketch-104.html.
This is their sample:

Here's my card:

Isn't it fun to dream:)

I turned the design on its' side and created my background blending together a couple of Distress inks.

I then die cut the snowflake scene from Memory Box and the snowhill using a Lawn Fawn die and some patterned paper.

The snowflake die cut was added to the shaded background and then I popped up the snow hill with some foam tape.

I added the sentiment from SSS and a clear rhinestone and some clear Wink of Stella to the entire snowflake border but really didn't show up on camera. Oh well!

There you have my card for today,

and remember, dreams can come true!

More Christmas cards:)

Hi there,

I couldn't resist the current challenge at http://www.simonsaysstampblog.com/wednesdaychallenge/ to create a couple of cards using Penny Black products.
On my first card I used a Penny Black sticker which I layered over light turquoise paper and then added a dark brown die cut circle to the outside. Then I adhered the sticker which I accented with some Stickles for some added sparkle.
I used a large stitched die circle to outline the sticker piece. I then masked the large circle and stamped the snow background with white ink onto the whole card.
Added my sentiment (in French) which means Best Wishes and some dark brown rhinestone accents.

For my second card I stamped the beautiful tree with Versamark ink and white embossing powder on watercolour paper and then applied a wash of various distress inks over top until I achieved the look I wanted. Adhered that panel to some patterned paper and then popped the whole thing up with some foam tape to an embossed card front using a dot embossing folder. Added the metallic die sentiment in silver metallic.

Well that's it for today.

Season's Greetings

Happy weekend everyone,

Well this is hopefully my last Christmas card for this year as I have to get a move on and start preparing some things for Christmas Day. I needed something in a hurry and this is what I came up with last night.

I die cut the background using Lawn Fawn paper and a large stitched die. I inked up the scene stamp with Mint ink and stamped it on white cardstock and then die cut the piece with a rectangle stitched die. I like that the mint ink gives a nice soft effect. I then added the sentiment using Evergreen Bough, a glitter snowflake and Wink of Stella to the trees (which is really hard to see) but it does add a nice sparkle in real life.
Well, there you have it. Quick and simple.

Thanks for looking and wishing you all Happy Holidays!

Happy weekend everyone,
Well winter has arrived here and the days have been kind of gloomy. Not ideal for taking card photos. I had an awful time trying to capture the true whiteness and shimmer of this card. It kinda came out a little gray looking.
I made this card for the current White on White challenge at http://lawnscaping.blogspot.ca
Anyways here it is and unfortunate that you can't see all the sparkle.

I split the front panel using the stitched hillside dies and embossed one side of the panel and left the right side plain. I added some textured snow to the left side panel only. Then I die cut 3 of the snowflakes using glittery embossing powder.

I popped up the the left panel, adhered the right panel directly to the base and added the snowflakes.

Stamped the sentiment with grey ink and adhered various sized pearls.

Well there you have it.

Thanks for stopping by:)

Poinsettias

Hi there,

I had purchased this beautiful die from Simon Says Stamp but had not used it yet so I finally decided how I was going to use it and here's the card that I created with it. This I am entering in the current SSS Flickr challenge #6 using dies.

I first die cut a bunch of the poinsettias and then ran some gold cardstock cutting a bunch of leaves.

I layered 2 different sized die cuts to make the 3 poinsettias. I then decided to cut a panel using the curved edge die and the edges of both pieces were outlined with gold metallic ink. The top part of that panel was layered with foam dots and the bottom piece was mounted flat with the sentiment stamped on it in gold detail embossing powder. I added some gold splatters to be top piece using HA gold spray.

I mounted the poinsettias with foam dots, tucked in some gold leaves, turned up the edges of the flowers a bit and then added a metallic dot to each centre.

Thanks for stopping by to have a look and enjoy!

Hi there,

Although I am still trying to catch up on cards from last weeks' Online Card Classes Holiday Card Workshop 2014 I've managed to fit in a card that I created today for the current challenge at http://casethissketch.blogspot.ca/2014/11/case-this-sketch-99.html

I first started with a stitched strip die from which I cut a panel from some patterned paper.
The snowflakes were then die cut from some plain and glitter cardstock.
I added a sentiment which I embossed in silver although it's a little hard to see in the photo.
Wink of Stella was added to the 2 non-glitter snowflakes and a small gemstone placed in the centre of each.
Popped up the panel and all the snowflakes.

Well that's it for Monday.

Tomorrow is Remembrance Day here in Canada so please take a moment of silence to remember those whom we have to thank for the wonderful country and life that we have today.

Hello there,

Today I have a card that I created for the current challenge at http://heroarts.com/blogs/club/2014/10/01/new-holiday-challenge-2/
I went with the category of White Out for my card:

I first created the snow background using an embossing folder.
Die cut a stitched frame to which I added a silver embossed snowflake and used a circle
punch to cut out. The sentiment was also embossed in silver.
I foam mounted all the pieces and added some twine to hang the snowflake from.
Added a crystal to the centre of my snowflake.

Well that's my card and thanks for stopping by.
