Im BACCCCCK!

Guess I lied! OOPs. I made 4 cards today, that has got to be a record for me, and that is only because one card was started last week, and I finished it today, hate when something sits around staring at me 1/2 finished.
So this last card was another made for our local Stamp and craft Store, again it is Decembers Monthly Card Contest , they give the supplies and you can add anything to it, but you must use all of what they supplied. And as it applies, it also will go for Joan's Weekly Challenge, so I will enter it there as well.

I Used one of my nestabilities label dies, forget the number and too darn lazy to go look, sorry, used distress inks, lots of 3d Foam to raise the labels, used my Heartfelt Creations Tree stamp, Magnificent Spruce set, love these trees. I also used my Memory box die, for making the shining star. Added a some sparkle on the star and trees using a glitter pen, does not show up much in the picture. This I think was the easiest of the cards to make, hardest part was cutting the frame out with the dies, other wise Easy Peasy as they say.

This is my LAST post, off to watch that movie , finally.

Good night to all.
And Thanks for stopping by my lonely little corner of the world.

Last of the Day

Well, this is the last post of the day, and last card, as I am watching a movie and will probably fall asleep watching it and looking around Pinterest, love that site!!

Last card again for Joans Challenge and it was going to be for another challenge last week, but I never got it finished, so finished it today!!

Dark brown card stock, The Frame is Gold card stock and the die used is from Cheery Lyn designs(Japanese Garden Lace), and then I used my Nestability Poinsettia die , and used a rich red vellum and made the poinsettia with that, and the greenery is My Gentle leaf die from Poppy Stamps and Martha Stewart punch, mixed them all together, added some bling and done!! Was going to add a bow, but thought it might look too busy.

See you on the flip side, and thanks for stopping by. Hope to be back tomorrow.

Hugs

Round Two

Back again, and with my second card of the day, this card is again for Joan's Challenge over at Joan's Gardens and it is Anything Goes week, and my card today was made with a Poppy Stamps die, called Grand Madison Window, and I LOVE this die, you will be seeing a lot of this one I think! I used my spellbinders Poinsettia die and Martha Stewart spring punch, and another die from Poppy Stamps, called, Gentle Leaf.

And that is all she wrote!! May be back in a bit with another card that I made.
Thanks for stopping by.

New Weeks Creations

Well, the start of a new week, and a few more cards for the weekly challenge at Joans Gardens, my first card is also for a Monthly contest at our local Stamp Store The Cove, they supply the PP and card stock, and some embellishments, you have to use all or some of all, and can add anything else you want.
For the contest at Joan's this week, it is ANYTHING goes for Christmas, so easy enough.
The first one is a new die for me, from Memory box, a Christmas tree. So dainty, but enjoyable to work with. It does not show here, but the tree was sprayed with a spray called Mr. Hueys, and it adds a very nice glimmer to it. I would have used bling and not the red bows that are on the tree, but had to use them as they were part of the package supplied by the cove.
Be back shortly with second card.
Thanks for stopping by.

Winter Window

I am so excited, I just got in the mail yesterday my new dies from PoppyStamps, they are two window dies one of which I used in this card I am showing today. I used the bigger of the two dies for this card. I stamped some trees with distress ink, using different shades of color to create depth, then to add more depth, I added 3d foam dots under the window.
I made the wreath with the Martha Stewart sprig punch, and some bling and a bow.
Then added some more sprigs at the bottom of the window and draped some lights that I have had in my stash for some time.
I had to use this PP, as the card was made for a local contest and they provide the supplies and you have to make whatever card you would like with what they give you, and you can add what ever you would like as well, The card is also for the weekly Challenge over at Joans Gardens. She is now carrying these window dies as well, when I ordered them I did not know she would be carrying them, as I saw them used on another blog, called KittieKraft, she does beautiful work.
