Celebrate the Season

Here is a card I made for Dawn McVey's Raspberry Suite Color Challenge. It didn't turn out quite a nice as I thought it would but I still think it looks okay. I used an acetate card base which I thought looked cool with the colors. I pulled in the chocolate color with the ribbon. The focal point is from a Stampin' Up set and embellished with a rhinestone in the middle. The picture isn't very clear tonight, hopefully you can still get an idea of what it looks like. Thanks for visiting!


Supplies: Bazzill Basics Paper (cardstock), Stampin' Up (stamp from So Many Scallops, scallop circle punch and scallop border punch), Hero Arts (acetate card base), Tsukineko (Cotton White Staz-On ink pad), Me and My Big Ideas (rhinestone), Unknown (ribbon).

Have a Twinkly Day

Here is my last card based on the sketch I made for World Cardmaking Day. For this one I used an image sent to me by my dear friend Michelle. She is a TAC demonstrator so she always has the greatest stamp sets! I think this set is very cute and need to add it to my collection soon. I used a tag made from a Nestabilities die with the bow on this card for the sentiment. The bow is also horizontal instead of vertical this time. I used some little rhinestones on the strip across the bottom to stay with the "twinkly" theme. I had fun coloring this image and adding a little sparkle with some Stickles on the wings and wand. Hope everyone had a fun and productive World Cardmaking Day and thank you for visiting!


Supplies: Bazzill Basics Paper (cardstock and ribbon), Spellbinders (Nestabilities die from Label 1 set), The Angel Company (Fairy Birthday stamp set), Copic (markers), BIC Mark-It (markers), Ranger (Stickles), Provo Craft (Coluzzle template), Me and My Big Ideas (rhinestones)

Ghostly Greetings

My second sketch card today is a Halloween card I made with some of the new Making Memories Halloween products. I love these papers and those ghost stickers were just too cute to pass up! On this card I used a Nestabilities die from the Label 1 set instead of a circle and I placed it a bit off the edge for a different look. I used the strip along the bottom for my sentiment and switched out the eyelets for brads. I will have one more card to share this evening, a birthday card, so be sure to check back! Thank you for visiting.

Supplies: Bazzill Basics Paper (cardstock and ribbon), Making Memories (patterned paper, foam stickers, brads), Hero Arts (sentiment stamp), Spellbinders (Nestabilities die), Tsukineko (Brilliance ink pad).

Joy

Here is my first card to share using today's sketch. This was a fairly simple Christmas card that would be so easy to recreate for everyone on your list. I like cutting the circle out of the base cardstock and having the focal point "behind" the card. It gives you a chance to tie the ribbon around to the inside for a different look. Check back this afternoon for a Halloween card using the same sketch. Thanks for visiting!

Supplies: Bo-Bunny (patterned cardstock), Bazzill Basics Paper (cardstock), Doodlebug Design Inc. (cardstock letter stickers and eyelets), Provo Craft (Coluzzle circle template), Unknown (ribbon).

World Cardmaking Day - My Sketch

I decided to challenge myself a bit for World Cardmaking Day. I designed a sketch and then made three different cards using the layout. I'm sure everyone has plenty of experience using sketches to make cards for different holidays and events but I wanted to show my perspective. I came up with the sketch by adding a couple of elements I had seen and used lately including the circle focal point, grouping of three small embellishments, and thick ribbon. The bow on my sketch doesn't look quite as realistic as I'd like but that was the best I could do with the software! Please check back throughout the day to see all three of my cards. Thank you for visiting!

World Cardmaking Day
