Hello friends. I made a Christmas card for the Color Hues Challenge to use Red and Metallic Gold.
Hello friends. Happy Thursday and HAPPY THANKSGIVING. It is time for a new challenge at Seize the Birthday and Barbara wants us to use fall items on our cards -it can be food, flowers, or leaves, anything related to fall.
Surprise - No Flowers. :) I decided to go with fall colored leaves, although we don't see the leaves changing colors here in Florida. I used SU Seasonal Layers Thinlits Dies which I have had for quite a few years but can't remember if I ever used these leaves. I blended SU Crushed Curry, Pumpkin Pie and Old Olive inks on a cream piece of cardstock and die cut them with the plain leaf die. Then I die cut the detail die from Crumb Cake card to place over the plain layer. I glued the leaves to a cream square and then mounted them with foam tape to a panel of green from my stash. I embossed the cream panel with Taylored Expressions Brick EF and mounted it to a Sahara Sand card base, then glued the green panel in place. The sentiment from PTI Autum Hills and is stamped in Soft Suede ink on a plain cream square and glued in place. Hello friends. It is time for a new challenge at Seize the Birthday and Ashwini wants us to use Neutral Colors Only. We are delighted to have Loll Thompson as our Surprise Party Guest for the next two months.

Hello friends. I have a Christmas card to share today. When I saw JUGS Color Challenge of Red & Green, naturally I thought of Christmas as did a lot of others.
For the red blooms I used Spellbinders Holiday Blooms and cut several large blooms and small blooms. I layered 3 of each together, shaped the petals and glued the cluster together on a white panel die cut with SU Split Card Textures Dies. The greenery is from the same die and cut from 2 shades of green. I added a golden rhinestone to the centers of the flowers. The sentiment is from SU Mistletoe Magic (ret.) and stamped in red.
Hello friends. I have another wedding card to share today. This is for another granddaughter (sister of the one getting married this weekend) that is getting married in December. Her wedding theme is formal black and white so I thought this was perfect for them.
Hello friends. I am sharing a wedding card that I made for my granddaughter who is getting married this weekend.
Hello friends. I am sharing a Christmas card I made using the technique at the Group of Seven Cardmakers. You have to do stenciling over a heat embossing.
I used a Stampabilities Music background stamp (from Hobby Lobby) which I have had for several years and this is the first time I have used it. I stamped it with Versamark ink and embossed with Ranger Fine Detail Gold embossing powder. I was inspired by Bonnie's beautiful poinsettia card using this technique so I used the Tim Holtz Poinsettia Layering stencil for my stenciling along with Lumberjack Plaid and Pine Needles DOI. I messed up the top poinsettia when buffing it with a paper towel, so I cut it down using a Spellbinders' Fluted Classics Rectangles die. I placed it back in the die to cut it shorter and then matted it with SU Shaded Spruce cardstock. I glued this to a white panel embossed with Spellbinders' Scenic Poinsettia EF. The sentiment is from SU Wrapped in Christmas, also matted with Shaded Spruce, and then mounted with foam tape.
The below photo shows the gold embossing better.
I enjoyed this technique and am looking thru my background stamps to try it again.
Thanks so much for stopping by. Have a wonderful day.
Hello friends. I have another birthday card for a little girl at church. She is best friends with the girl I made the cute bunny card for and their birthdays are two days apart.
Hello friends. Happy Thursday - it is time for a new challenge at Seize the Birthday and Vicki wants us to Add a Sky. With that in mind, I made this cute card for a little girl at church.
For my sky I die cut a SU Scalloped Contours Die from white and then sponged some DOI Speckled Egg over it using a Taylored Espressions Cloud Die. This is the first time I have used that cute bunny image from Penny Black called Flying By. I stamped him with Memento Tuxedo Black ink and colored with SU Blends Flirty Flamingo and Granny Apple Green. I also used a lt. gray Copic marker around the edges of the bunny image. I then fussy cut the bunny and mounted him with foam tape to the sky panel. The sentiment in the top right corner is from the same stamp set but I masked off the word "Hi" and than stamped a second sentiment (SU) on a scrap piece and added it to the bottom left corner. I added this panel to a Powder Pink panel embossed with SU Subtle EF (ret.) and then to a white card base.
