Hi Everyone,

Todays card was made for the Just Magnolia challenge white plus one other color. The card base is 5.5x4.25 and I used the eyelet border punch along the bottom of the front and back.. I didn't measure the layers but I used my big shot with the cuttlebug snowflake folder. On the top layer I used stickles and green dots. Sorry again the photo is not showing how pretty it really is. the bottom layer is only the snowflakes no glitter. I have to learn the names of the Tilda stamps so I can at least let you know the one I used. She is colored with copics. I used the cuttlebug on the ribbon but it didn't show up much at all. Finished off the card with a bow, green gems and some stitching. Thank you for stopping by to visit, happy creating everyone!

A Taste of Christmas

Hi everyone,

Today's card is a very simple one. The card  base is 5x7, the layer is 4.75x6.75. The DSP was so pretty that I didn't add any more images to it. I did take a stylus and dry embossed some of the area's to make it show up better but the photo doesn't give it justce. I also applied some dazzling diamonds to the center pods but it doesn't show up well either. I added the ribbon and the sentiment is again from Pink by Design. I am entering this card into the Totally Gorjuss challenge, they are asking for traditional Christmas colors. Anything Goes Challenge is emboss it. I did use the stylus to dry emboss so I think it should apply to this card. Elephantastic Challenge is make a card with a butterfly or a Christmas card. Thanks you for stopping by for a visit, happy Creating everyone!

Candy Cane Tilda

Hi Everyone,

I decided I wanted to make something different for a card today so I embroidered my card using my sewing machine. The card base is very vanilla cut at 5.5x4.25. I added a layer of DSP in cream color with the embrodery added to it. I colored tilda with copics, cut her out and popped her up with dimentionals. The ribbon is from the dollar store and the sentiment is Pink by Design winter set.  I am quite happy with how this card turned out.   I have done embroidery on cards before and I will do it again. I am entering this card into the Christmas Card Challenge and the requirement is an Inspiration photo.Crazy 4 Challenges is make a christmas card. 2 Sisters Challenge is christmas.Thanks for stopping by for a visit, happy creating everyone.

Snow Much Fun Reindeer!

I still have quite a few christmas cards to make so here is today's card. Bah! Humbug! challenge this week is use a reindeer and Dottie's World challenge is anything goes and use red. The ABC Challenge is H for holidays. A Spoonful of Sugar challenge is snow/snowflakes. The card base is 5x7 and the snowflake layer is 6.75x4.75. The snowflakes are flocked and that was how the paper came. I took some white CS and ripped the edge to look like a snow bank and added a bit of blue at the top. I then painted some glitter all over it and added some stars. My reindeer is cut from Christmas cheer cartridge at 5". The top layer was cut in white and I used my copics to color  him in. I added a bit of white on the antlers and black gel pen on the face. The modern lable punch was used to cut the sentiment out. I then added the metal brads using the irock. To finish off the card I used a large red gem for the nose. Thanks for stopping by for a visit, happy creating.

The Season Of Giving

Hi everyone,

I have made this card for  for More Than Favors challenge, Lexi's Creations challenge, Incy Wincy Designs challenge, Craft You Passion challenge, Iris's Spot challenge, Dottie's World challenge and the theme for them is anything goes.  Charisma Cardz challenge theme is Christmas. Crafty Cardmakers challenge is stitching. The card base is white but for some reason it looks more on the pink side in the photo. I am really quite please with the magnolia Tilda coloring. I find the more I use the copics the better it seems to work on my images.  I colored the Magnolia Tilda and the poinsetta stamp with copic markers. I used stickles on some of the background to give it some sparkle. The snowflake is a sizzlet die and cut  using the big shot. The snowflake didn't seem to show up like I thought it should so I used stitching to make it pop a bit. I also used the stitching around the card layer.I like using doodles and ribbon on my cards so very seldom will you not see any. Thanks for stopping by for a visit, happy creating everyone!

Gift Wrap containers

Hi Everyone,

Todays project is made for Made by Momo's challenge and it is to make anything but a card. The blue one is a candy bar wrapper and the poem is from a joke poem that can be downloaded from the internet. sorry I can't remember where I got it.  I cut the snowflake with the snowflake sizzlet die with my big shot. The little box was made using a splitcoast stampers tutorial. I will be happy to get the gypsy update Nov 1st  then I will get the tags bags boxes and more free download. I am really excited about that one. I added a flower stamp and ribbon on them both, and a rhinestone in the flower center. Thanks for stopping by for a visit, happy creating everyone.

You are my Sunshine

Hi Everyone,

I made a couple of cards the same today but changed the faces. The paper was already decorated and all I needed to do was add a tourquise layer behind it to make the picure pop. I then punched a circle and added a face to it. The top face was the baby faces and the bottom one was the princess faces both from Peachy Keen Stamps. I used my irock and added metal stones on the flower centers and the birds eye. The stamp was Scrappy moms stamp. This was so easy and quick and I think it looks really cute. I am entering this card into the ABC challenge this week and it is using flowers. Thanks for stopping by to visit, happy creating everyone!

Fall Leaves

Hi everyone,

The sun is shining here today and it is a beautiful fall day out. I love this time of year not too hot and not too cold. Just perfect! lol! Fantabulous Cricut has a challenge and we need to make a project with at least one leaf. I made this card very simple and plain for a friends birthday. Men don't like to much on thier cards so this is perfect for him. The base is cut at 5x7 and the inside layer is cut at 5x5.5. I stamped the leaves with expresso ink. I used my irock for the metal orange brads. I distressed the outside of the kraft CS with the expresso ink. Easy peasy card to make, but I think it still looks good even though it is very plain. Thanks for stopping in to visit me. Happy creating everyone!

Stamp Set: Inkadinkadoo Autumn set

Paper: SU kraft, unknown white
Accessories: irock and metal gem stones.
