Week 22 Magnolia Challenge

For this weeks Magnolia challenge we were asked to emboss, we could emboss anything. For this submission, I used my spellbinder to cut out the scalloped circle and then EMBOSS it! I used the butterfly background and then the Tilda and Edwin Chasing butterfly images on the card. I LOVE the way this car turned out. The images are coloured with copics. I pop dotted the background, Tilda and Edwin are pop dotted on top of the background, and then I pop dotted the butterflies in Tilda's hand AND the one in Edwins net! Many many layers on there! I added a little pink chalk to both Tilda's and Edwin's cheeks to give them a little more colour. The background paper is from my stash (I love using up the paper in my stash!!) I think this card turned out amazingly!!!

Cute as a bug

I have been very busy the last few days creating some cards and such, but I seem to run out of time to post them all ... I am getting close to the end of the posts for tonight ... but not yet!! LOL ... for the next creation I made this super cute card called "Cute as a Bug" I used some neat sparkley paper as the background with circles. I embossed the purple with my cuttlebug circle folder, the cute image is mounted on more of the circles, and she is coloured with my copics. I added a little more sparkle with my spicas. I love this one, so simple and yet perfect!!

Bookmark

I made this bookmark for my mother-in-law for her birthday. I used the studying Tilda for the image, she is sitting on top of a stack of books which are also from Magnolia. They were both stamped on simply smooth and coloured with my copics. In the background I punched out circles and added buttons to the middle of the circles. I used Crystal Effects on the buttons, and the glasses on Tilda. On the books I added some sparkle with my Stickles. I used an eyelet on the top to put the fiber through. I am sure she will love it as she is a very avid reader!!

I made this elegant Sympathy card with a Stampin Up sympathy set. I stamped the image on simply smooth paper and coloured it with my copics. I pop dotted the flowers, and pop doted the rectangle with the image. I gently sponged the edges with pretty in pink Stampin Up ink. Behind the image I used my cuttlebug embossing folder to enboss an elegant pattern. On the right side I used the simple "with Sympathy" sentiment, behind the sentiment I stamped a swirl in the light pink. On the inside of the card, I also stamped an elegant sentiment (also in the light pink ... I didn't take a picture of it sorry!)

Mini lunch cards

I know that my daughters absolutely LOVE getting little cards in their lunch. What a great way to tell our children that we are thinking of then while they are at school. I made these cute little 3X3 cards using the greeting farm images (can't remember the name of the set), I used paper from my stash to enhance the backgrounds. I made them simple, with only the sayings on each card. This is an excellent way to promote reading for a purpose with your child. My girls are always all smiles when they come home with one of these in their lunches!!

Help out a little girl ...

Simon Says Sketch Challenge

For this wonderful sketch I rotated it a bit. As soon as I saw this sketch I thought of my Magnolia spider web in the corner, so that is what I did! In the corner stamped in white is the Magnolia spider web, I enhanced it with Crystal Effects (by Stampin Up), hanging from the web is a little spider I found in one of my jars of die cuts, hanging down from a piece of fiber. he image is again Magnolia, I cuttlebug embossed the lighter orange with pumpkins. The ribbon I just picked up from a local Hobby store and thought it matched perfectly. The saying came from my stash. I had so much fun making this cute Hallowe'en card! Thanks for the awesome sketch!!

Cute Card Thursday Challenge #76- Back to school

For the Cute Card Thursday challenge, we made cards with a school theme. For my card I used Tilda school girl, from the magnolia line. I coloured her with my copics, and added a little sparkle with my spica. All of the other items on the card are from my stash. The background paper is school days (with various school says), I added alphabet ribbon to the top, ruler paper on the bottom and 2 school themed buttons to the side. What a great challenge for the start of the school year!

Whiff of Joy Design team call

I created this gorgeous, elegant Christmas card for the Whiff of Joy Design team call. I used the Guardian angel stamp. She is stamped on Simply Smooth paper, and coloured with my Copics. I used very light colours to make her look very angelic, and added some sparkle with my spica to the wings and shoes. She is double mounted on Clouds (can't remember the company it was in my stash) and also Light blue cardstock. In the background I used a printed vellum for some added interest. On the bottom, there is a lacy ribbon. The sentiment, very simply put, says peace, I did this sentiment by hand with fine silver wire. I carefully attached the sentiment under the wire (must say this wasn't an easy task!). On the inside I used my cuttlebug to emboss more of the pink cardstock sown one side to showcase the light pink on the front! I had so much fun completing this card for this Design Team. Thank you for looking!!

Cute Card Thursday - Challenge #75 - New Beginnings

For the Cute Card Thursday challenge we were to make a card for new beginnings. I made this card for a Baby boy. The image is High Hopes, and I coloured him with my copics and added sparkle with spica. The charm and the paper is from my stash, sorry I don't know what company they are from! Thanks for the fun challenge!

Sketch and Stash Challenge 18

Sketch and Stash Challenge 18 - For this challenge we had to use a sketch to create a card from our "stash" everything on this card was from my stash ... even the cute Magnolia image that I had coloured a while ago and put aside. I used my copics to colour Tilda, and added some sparkle with my spica. The paper is Stampin Up and Bo Bunny (I think). The ribbon, flowers, buttons and dew drops were all from my shelf. I used my cuttlebug embossing circles folder for the light green that was used. The ink for the edges and the saying are both Stampin' Up. The Happy Birthday saying is from High Hopes Stamp company. What a great challenge!! Thank you!!

Thank You card

Here is a cute little card I made for my neighbour who gave us a big bag of fresh peaches from their tree. The stamp is from "Your Next Stamp" company, the saying is from Stamping Up. I used my cricut to cut out the background shape, and used my scallop circle for the inner circle. I used Pacific Point blue Stampin Up ink for the saying. Of course I coloured the cute image with my copics.

Your Next Stamp 1st Design Team Call

Here are my submissions for the first DT call for an exciting new company called "Your Next Stamp" (what a great name for a company!!) For my first card I used many different stamps. The first one is a C.C. Design stamp of the Polka Dot Bikini, the background and saying are by High Hopes Stamp. I coloured them in my Copics of course, I added sparkle with my copic Spica and Stickles.On the yellow polka dots I used my crystal effects to give them the wet look. The paper is from my "stash" and I am not sure what company they are. The second card is a High Hopes baby image, it is stamped on an embossed label from spellbinders. Around the image I sponged some "pretty in pink" ink from stampin up, it is done VERY lightely and didn't show up the greatest but you can see it a little. I coloured it for a baby girl, as the background also shows. Of course, it too is coloured with Copics. I added a "Labelz" for added show. At the bottom I added a few dew drops for extra show. Thanks for looking!! Have a good one!
