Butterfly Pop -Up

I love cards that do something so at the Cuttlebug Spot this week the challenge is to make a pop-up card. I used the circle flower cuttlebug folder to emboss the yellow background that the butterfly is on. I love these bright colors. It has been spring-like here so I am ushering it in as best I can! LOL!

Chocolate, Teal and Pink

This week at Cat's Pajamas the challenge is to use these three colors -- chocolate, teal and pink. I love these colors together. I had this lovely patterned paper with just those colors and ribbon to match! I pop-dotted the die cut and stamped the poodle and colored him brown. I used pink glitter for his fur. I used a Fiskars border punch to make the border at the bottom and then pop-dotted one of the flowers. Please click here to see the challenge. http://dancinginpajamas.blogspot.com/

House of Blues

Hi bloggers! It is a very nice day outside today. I hope you are having a nice day. This is my entry to the Impression Obsession March challenge. We were to work with the color blue. I used their house stamp, cut it out and pop-dotted it. I then cut out the left side of the house, the barrel and the plant at the top window to the right and pop-dotted those to add more dimension. I used blue and green Flower Soft on the flowers. This was a fun challenge. I don't use blue a lot, but I like it. I need to use it more.

Looking Forward to Spring!

Spring is right around the corner, YEAH! I have been working on some Easter cards. The weather here has been spring -like so it has inspired me. I just love these lops by Embossing Arts. The paper is from DCWV. I have been using a lot of it lately. I used a Martha Stewart  lace corner and border punch for the frame. The butterfly is a layered sticker. I hope everyone is having a great day. I will be 70 here today. Whooo - hooo!

Stamp A Tag

This is my third post today and my last! I have made a tag for the Simon Says Show and Stamp a Tag  challenge. I used DCWV paper -- my favorite lately. I stamped an Impression Obsession flourish on the upper right hand corner. The bunny was stamped and cut out and pop-dotted at the bottom. I really enjoyed this challenge.

Donut Bliss

The House Mouse challenge this week is to stamp our favorite House Mouse! That is a tuffy since I like them all!  I guess this one is my favorite since it can be used for many things, AND who doesn't like donuts? You can click here to see the challenge --  http://housemouse-challenge.blogspot.com/

I glittered the donut to make it look like frosting. The top border was made using a Martha Stewart punch. I did paper piecing on the cup cake and used my crimping tool on the bottom of the cupcake.

Two More Cards and Happy Valentine's Day

Here are the last of my WinterHaven challenge cards. The first card is for the Holiday 2-fer card challenge. We were to make one card that we could use for 2 holidays. I chose Mother's Day and Easter. The second challenge was to stamp without using black or dark outlines. I stamped the bunny using a Tera Cotta ink pad.
