Tent Topper flowers

Here's a card I made today.  It's called a tent-topper card and super easy to do.  You just make the card smaller than regular (I made it 4-1/2 x 4-1/2) and stand it up.  Then add something that extends overtop (but keep in mind the size of the envelope you're going to use). 

I am using Serene Silhouettes stamp set, ovals and deco labels framelits, banner punch and petite petals stamp set/punch!  Also wild wasabi ribbon and script embossing!

Brackets & Butterflies

Playing around with the bracket label punch, butterfly punch and some DSP!

You made my Day - Vivid Vases

I made this card using the layout at Splitcoast.
The only colors of ink on this card are soft suede and pink!
I love this set and I love using it in a variety of ways.
Cute little clip too!  I bought them before Christmas and haven't used many of them yet.

First card class of the year... all-purpose

Planning for my first card class of the year.  We'll be making these cards in a variety of colors.  Good for a variety of occasions and for male/female.

Favorites from 2013

Probably my favorite cards from 2013.
My favorite 2013 accessory - the lattice die!

Last 3 Christmas cards 2013

Yippee!!!! I am so excited!  I finished my Christmas cards for this year!
I looked back over my stash and I made over 45 unique Christmas card designs this year.  I started in July.  I enjoyed it but am looking forward to doing some cards for something other than Christmas!

4 lattice 4 Christmas

I am still needing more Christmas cards, so to be easy on myself I whipped up a few using the lattice die.  I sure love that die and find it super fun to create with.
I combined it with some patterned paper and black layers with a few simple embellishments.
I think I made all 4 in 20 minutes.

Best of SNOW

 

Some cards featuring a new stamp set I got called "Best of Snow". 

 

The first one I masked the oval shape and sponged inside, then stamped.

The bottom ones I used the window collections framelit shape and put a square behind it and used 3 embossed panels.

2 Evergreen

 

Making some Christmas cards.  These one combine the stamp sets "Evergreen" with "Festive Flurry".

Card Class -15

Here are the 3 cards we'll be making at my upcoming Christmas card making class.  We'll make 5 of each card.  15 cards in total.
The class is on Saturday, November 16.
You need to pre-register by Thursday of that week.  There is a limited amount of space.

Slanted flowers

 

Love this fun design!  The card is cut at a slant and I added flowers all along the inside and front top edges.

 

Colors on the top one - cantaloupe, cherry, white, coral

Colors on the bottom card - wisteria, razzleberry DSP, white

 

I decorated the bottoms of each differently.

 

To make the flowers - Secret garden framelits, boho blossoms punch (scrunched up) and bird punch.

Small Poinsettia - framed

I made this card for our Queen this week.

I used 4 framelits to make the frame.  I cut out two of the "inside" of the Poinsettia in Joyful Christmas and layered them.

There are black glimmer brads on top and bottom.

Interrupted Rainbow

A sympathy card.  I was inspired by the card from Queen Cindy.
Very simple!

Queen 180 - Christmas Poinsettias

Made this card in honour of our Queen #180 this week.  If you want to play along with the challenge that I host on Splitcoast.  It is called the Queen for the Day.  You can find the information here.

I love this Christmas set - Joyful Christmas!  This time I stamped with black ink on cherry cobbler paper and cut out.  Added some rhinestone bling!

Poinsettia in part

Playing with my new Christmas stamp set.  I versamarked the image first on the craft, then did another layer embossed on the red paper and cut out overtop.  I love this pretty set and I love the sentiments that go with it.

The layout is from Sketch Frenzy Friday.

Poinsettia with lattice

 

I combined some great new things for this card.  The poinsettia image and sentiment from Joyful Christmas I embossed in pewter.  I added a fun embellishment to the middle.

I doubled the lattice (white and gray).  The so saffron yellow strip is embossed with stripes.

 

This is for the layout at Sketch Frenzy Friday.

Cupcake

I made this for 2 blog challenges.

Dynamic Duos - Strawberry Slush & Daffodil Delight

Clean & Simple - Fall to Layout 252

Layered Lattice Punch Art

I was playing with my lattice die and the windows framelit collection to make this layered "punch art" card.  There are 6 layers of the lattice (white behind tips, green in between window framelits, wisteria rounded with tips cut off, green, white flower, purple center)

I used two layers of window framelits - razzleberry patterned paper and olive patterned paper.

I cut the dotted scallop ribbon punch in half for the edges.

Added a few rhinestones for some shine.

The white "flower" is popped up with a stampin' dimensional.

 

I kept it blank - will be useful for many different purposes.

Retro Lattice Baby

 

Playing along with the Retro Sketches Challenge Blog.

 

Love how this turned out.  Lots of details - embedded embossing (lattice in window frames die), floral fusion flowers with scrunched ribbon centers.  Antique brads, pearls and buttons and two edges!

 

The colors are crumb cake, pink pirouette, blushing bride & white.
