Good Evening!

It's that time again... you know, time for the sketch challenge at AnnaBelle Stamps! What a great sketch it is too! 

I had a great time creating this card! My card base is mellon mambo layered with whisper white and MME happy heart dp. I used spellbinders nested butterfly's 2 in place of the circles. I stamped my little hearts from AnnaBelle's All Squared set and punched them out with a 3/4 inch circle punch. The sentiment and row of hearts are from the same set! You will want to see what the rest of the DT has come up with... you won't be disappointed!! Be sure and leave Stephanie some love this is her last post with us! We will really miss her and her beautiful work!

Make & Take Left Overs....

Good Evening!

As you know we had club last night... I shared our make & take with you on Monday. We we had left overs so I thought I would use them instead of putting them in a box of scraps! I used all the same papers and and panels... I just flipped them and used different images. My snowmen are from the SU set snow much fun an the sentiment is from four the holidays. I used stickles for the buttons and snowball. Made for a fun card! Have a great evening and I hope to see you tomorrow for the sketch challenge at AnnaBelle Stamps!

Fancy Folds!

Good Morning!

I have a fun card to share today! We start club back up tomorrow and I needed a couple of make & takes! My card base is real red layered with very vanilla and holly berry bouquet dp. I embossed the side panel with the houndstooth  folder . My sentiment is form The Sounding Joy. I punched a couple snowflakes ~ added a few pearls ~ there you have it!

I found the instructions for this card here. I am entering this is a few challenges:

I have to tell you I've been super busy painting our house. I have a friend who is a professional painter and he offered his help (0=  It took a week to prep it and he sprayed the whole thing in just a few hours! I hope to knock the trim out today! Lord willin!

Ok back to my card.... My card base is very vanilla layered with early espresso and MME all spice dp. My image is from SU's always thankful.

Say it with a MALE card!

Good Afternoon!

It's time for another fun filled challenge at AnnaBelle Stamps!

Today we are saying it with a male card! I usually have issues

with these... but this one was pretty simple! I used Stamped for

Christmas to create a card for my grandson! He's a male ... just

a very young male LOL!

Isn't this just fun? My card base is real red layered with whisper white. 

The beautiful sleigh with packages is from Stamped for Christmas. The 

elk (my reindeer) were cut with my cricket.The big fat snowflakes are

new from SU.  Stamped for Christmas is on sale and is also the prize for

Believe...

Good Morning!

I have a quick card to share with you today! This was super simple to create! My card base is rose red layered with whisper white. My whisper white was embossed with the flourish journal from paper starts. I framed my sentiment Heartfelts HCPC3321  Believe with parisian motifs shapabilities.

I think it took longer to put all the pearls on than it did to create the card (0=

I'm entering this in a few challenges:

In CASE of a Wedding!

Good Morning!

I have a white on white wedding card to share today! I CASED this card of Patti Macleith's I saw her card eons ago and placed it in my "must try" file. Well I found it again and just had to play!

This being a white on white card it was really hard to get a good picture! My card base is Gina K pure luxury white. I embossed my card base with the framed tulips from SU. I then cut and rounded the corners for my cake and embossed them with the houndstooth embossing floder also from SU. I created my flower using HC701 posy patch dies  from Heartfelt Creations 

Here is a close up of the flower ... I used my posy patch dies  on glossy white paper to create this! I love how it turned out! Thanks Patti for your inspiration!
