Just For Fun January Challenge

Hi and Happy New Year! Wow, this last year went by really fast! I wish you all the best in 2019. I want to show you a card that I made for the Just For Fun stamp challenge. The theme is to use blue and silver.

I stamped the Just For Fun Tree Line stamp and added silver embossing powder. I used small circle hand punches for the "snow" and layered this piece on silver glitter card stock. Then I layered this onto a dark blue background.

In this picture you can see the glitter card stock better.

I hope you will join in our challenge. I would love to see what you create. You might even win a gift certificate to the store!

Have a wonderful day and Happy New Year!

Shabby Chic #13

Hello! I hope you are enjoying your day. I am back with another shabby chic card. For some reason I had a hard time getting this one together. I found the Spellbinders background die (Bow Elegance) in one of my bags that had already been cut out. I adhered it to white glitter card stock. I stamped the flower (by Recollections) onto another Spellbinders die, colored the image with Spectrum Noir alcohol markers, and pop dotted it to the center of the card. I added the Memory Box Fresh Foliage and Cheery Lynn Exotic Butterfly dies for embellishments. Ribbon and pearls were also added.

Thanks so much for taking the time to stop by. I hope you have a blessed day!

Altered Dies #24

Hi Everyone! I hope you are enjoying this Christmas season. Well, this is my last altered die card! I must say that this has opened up a whole new way of looking at my dies. On this card I used part of a window die for the angels wings!

I started with the Spellbinders Decorative Window Scene die and cut using white glitter card stock.

I cut the window apart and used the 2 bottom pieces for the wings.

I cut Spellbinders Labels 4 from green patterned card stock and adhered the angel on top.

Thanks for stopping by. Have a blessed day!

Altered Dies #7

I am back again with another altered die card. I have had so much fun with these altered dies. I hope you enjoy what I have done with my dies today. April is the month of rain so I have made a fun "rain" card with this cute duck from Rubber Stampede.

I wanted some raindrops on my card so I used this Spellbinders butterfly die that I cut from blue glitter card stock and kept the small cut outs for my raindrops!

Next I used one of Gina Marie's Stitched Circle dies to make the umbrella.

I cut the circle in half and used some decorative scissors on the bottom of one of the halves.

I scored the middle of the umbrella so that it would pop up a little and added some Stickles Crystal glitter to the raindrops for more sparkle.

Thanks for stopping by. I hope you have a great day!

Merry Christmas

Hi Everyone! I trust you have been having a wonderful Christmas season. I have and boy have I been busy! Amidst all the hustle and bustle let us take time to remember the true meaning of Christmas and why Christ came -- "Jesus came to seek and to save those who are lost."  Luke 19:10.  Enjoy spending time with your families and friends. Merry Christmas!

Summertime

Hi Everyone! I hope you are keeping cool. I love summer, but like to stay inside with the air on on these very hot days. What I like about summer are pretty flowers, butterflies and daylight savings time! The white on my card reminds me of the extra hour of daylight! While making this card I was reminded of the old tune, "In the Good Old Summer Time." So here is my summer card using punches, pearls and dies!

I used the Flower Cheery Lynn die and cut from white glitter paper for the background of the image. The butterfly is also a Cheery Lynn die and my favorite! I made the square frame using a Martha Stewart corner and border punch. Here is a close up where you can see the sparkle better on the flower die.

TIP:  I love making white on white cards and to make the details show more I use pop dots to lift some layers. This adds depth and dimension. 

Thanks so much for stopping by. Have a great day!

Cheery and Bright

Hi Everyone! I hope you have most of your cards and shopping finished! I know it must be a mad house out there today. I am staying in where it is warm and cozy. Our weather here turned cold and rainy today. I want to share a Christmas card I made. I still might need several more before it is all said and done!

I am a true layer person when it comes to cards and it is hard for me to keep everything flat for mailing, but I am trying! The reindeer is popped up though, but should be able to be mailed okay.

I stamped the reindeer using brown ink. I then colored over it with my Versa Marker and added Brown Fizz embossing powder from Sparkle N Sprinkle. All the other dies were cut from white glitter card stock. I used an embossing folder on the brown piece and inked the raised areas with Versa mark ink to enhance the design.

Here is a closer look where you can see more of the sparkle on the white glitter card stock.
