CASE-ing Christmas Challenge #5

This week at

Case-ing Christmas

we have Mynn's pretty card to CASE.

I was drawn to the color combo and the pretty glittery snowflake

so that's what I used from Mynn's card as the basis for mine.

I used Dazzles stickers from Hot Off the Press.

I took 3 snowflakes, backing 2 with white card stock and 1

with black card stock and layered with foam dots.

The Dazzles greeting was added along with some

Dazzles corner stickers and some enamel dots.

All of this placed on the embossed background.

I think I'm becoming addicted to embossing!

Anyway, be sure and check out the other DT creations

 and then show us what you come up with!

Crafty Gals Corner Challenge #4

It's time for another fun challenge at

Crafty Gals Corner.

This week the challenge is to create something new.

So, try a new technique, style or whatever you've not done before.

This is my very first attempt at a "Shaker Card".
Using Girlz - present from Bugaboo Stamps

I wanted to try a get a close-up of the fun sequin shapes I used.

I colored the Bugaboo Stamps image with Spectrum Noir markers,
 fussy cut and applied with foam dots to the shaker box
 that was created with Sizzix dies.
My papers are from a Colorbok 6x6 paper pad called "Hootenanny".

Valentine #4

I'm not doing so well at getting a few more Valentine's cards done.

I've been concentrating on getting my DT creations done.

So, I decided to take a brief break from those and make 

a card combining 2 of my favorite challenges to participate with.

The sketch is from

Freshly Made Sketches

and the rest of the inspiration comes from the photo at

Just Us Girls.

I used one of my favorite embossing folders from the Paper Studio

and the cupcake image was a free digi from Beary Wishes

which I colored with Spectrum Noir markers.

The greeting was computer generated and I added heart shaped gems.

Case-ing Christmas Challenge #4

It's a new challenge at CASE-ing Christmas.

This is the card I created as a member of the Even Team.

Remember, you can use any element in this card by DT member Rocky to create yours. I chose to go a more whimsical route this time using the layout and snowflakes as my inspiration

I found the cute reindeer stickers at Michaels and thought

they would work rather well with this layout.

The Darice embossing folder I used for the background 

is one of my favorites. The snowflakes were a find in

the button department at Walmart and I added the red enamel dots.

The greeting was computer generated and there you have it!

Be sure and check out the rest of the DT's creations at

CASE-ing Christmas
and link up your own creation.

Chocolate, Coffee & Cards Challenge #83

It's time for a new challenge at 

Chocolate, Coffee & Cards.

This time we have color inspiration for your creations.

My card was created using the "Tiny Lina" image from
this week's sponsor

Make It Crafty.

Isn't this a gorgeous color combo!

I started by printing the image on white card stock, colored with a 

combination of Spectrum Noir markers and pencil colors and die

cutting. The background papers are from Hot Off the Press, 

as is the sentiment stamp I used. The flower and pearl

embellishments are from Recollections.

Pop on over to Chocolate, Coffee & Cards,

Valentine #3

Don't know if I'm going to get more Valentine cards done

this year than last but I'm going to try!

This is only the third one I've come up with. I guess

I better get a move on!

Not sure I'm entirely happy with the final outcome, but it is what it is!

The focal was a free digital stamp from Beary Wishes.
I've had it for a while and just now using it for the first time.

I colored it with Spectrum Noir markers, fussy cut and added to

the embossed panel with foam tape.The embossing folder I used is from Sizzix.
The border was done with a Fiskars punch. I printed the sentiment on the computer,

added the heart button from Walmart and made a bow with twine from Michaels.

I used the sketch at Freshly Made Sketches as my main inspiration.
