Queen myself - REDOs

 

Today what I decided to do for the Queen for the Day Challenge is that everyone gets to be Queen!

So you get to go through your cards from the last year and CASE yourself!

I've been having a very crafty time here as you can see.  I made 5 redos.

 

This first card uses a heart mask and sponging with piercing.  Colors - Marina Mist, white.

 

For this card I colored the flowers with two different colors, added some piercing and twine.

Colors - Island Indigo, Black, White, Not Quite Navy, new SAB patterned paper.

 

I used my square punch to punch out some fun colored patterned papers, glued it onto the card, then embossed!  I used the apothecary accents shape with the sentiment from "You're Amazing"

Colors - Old Olive, Pacific Point, Pumpkin Pie, white

 

I embossed with stripes (on an angle) and distressed with edges of the kraft background.

The cone is simply a triangle (embossed with lattice) and the cupcake punch.  I also used an embossed frame.

Colors - Vanilla, Crumb Cake, Cherry Cobbler, Midnight Muse, Choc Chip

 

Cut out the flower from Bloomin with Kindness and used some apothecary accents frames (pierced the dark purple one).

Colors - Crumb Cake, Wisteria Wonder, Elegant Eggplant.

 

Here are some small closeups.

3 Punched Cards

This card uses the bird punch, paper daisies and boho blossoms punch, little leaves die, edgelits and the cupcake punch to sponge the clouds.  This is the card we'll be making at my group meeting this afternoon.

The layout comes from Stamping 411.

For this card I wanted to show the cupcake punch used in a different way.  I made a layered ice cream cone - yummy! 

This card uses the layout from Freshly Made Sketches.

This card shows one of my favorite ways to use the bird punch!  To make a candle!

It also uses the modern label punch. 

I used this week's layout at Splitcoast.

Candle

This layout comes from Techno Stamper.

I wanted to show off punches.  This one uses the bird punch and the modern label punch.

I also used 2 ribbons behind the sentiment.

New Queen.... QFTD112

Here are my two cards for our Queen this week...
Hope you come play along at the Queen for the Day Challenge...

 This card is using the retired Stampin' Up! sets "Warmest Regards" and "Infinite Goodness".  I watercolored the images with aqua painter.  The background is embossed with vintage wallpaper.  I stamped the dragonfly on vellum and glued it overtop

What a fun design with corner rounders.  I used a second bird punch in white to layer behind so that the bird would stand out better.  Accented with mini brads and a twine bow.

2 for Hand Stamped Sentiments

I made these two cards this morning for the Hand Stamped Sentiments blog.

They are having a design team tryout! I decided to try to make a fun shape using buttons! I added the sentiment "celebrate" with stamples. I thought this could be a fun card for many different occasions - wedding, birthday, or for any special day.

I embossed with stripes and dots.





This card is for their challenge "rainbows". I used 4 strips of DSP (I also used green DSP for the leaves), the embossed frame, bird punch and boho blossoms. Another generic card for many purposes! I added a pearl for the bird's eye and rhinestones on the flowers.
