Soft Suede Christmas

Well, the weekend is over! Back to the grind tomorrow! haha! I wanted to get this one in for the Featured Stamper Challenge today. The honor goes to Rachel today! Great gallery she has there! I chose this card to case. I changed the colors, theme and stamps. I cuttlebugged the designer paper and used ribbon instead of the rhinestones. Still working on those Christmas cards people!!! Hope you all have a wonderful week! Thanks for stopping by!

Bravo Burgundy Christmas

Hey y'all!!! I made this card this morning for the Inspiration Challenge and yesterday's LSC but didn't have time to blog it until now. I used this cute blouse for my inspiration. And the LSC was to make a girlie card with no designer paper. This is pretty girlie! I chose to create another Christmas card for the stash. I used a sentiment from the Joy to the World set from Our Daily bread designs. I used an EK Success border punch, the Spellbinders Lattice border and long rectangles, two SU! flower punches, SU! embossing folder, Gold Glimmer Mist, gold organdy ribbon and gold pearls. For my little poinsettias, I folded each petal before glimmerizing them and then layered them to make the poinsettias! Lots of layers but pretty easy to put together! The cardstock is Bravo Burgundy and Vanilla. Thanks for looking! Hope you have a great night!

Oh and be watching for the November releases from Our Daily Bread designs!
You are all gonna flip out because they are so gorgeous!!!
Maybe there will be a few sneak peeks!!!

Wonder and Peace

Good Morning! Hope all is well! The Midnight Madness Sketch this week is really a fun one! I made another Christmas card!! The colors I used are from this week's color challenge too. Always Artichoke, Bravo Burgundy, Vanilla and Cameo Coral. I love this retired Angel set from StampinUp! I embossed her onto watercolor paper, sprayed the paper with water and used a brush and re-inkers to watercolor her. I sprayed all of the pieces with Gold Glimmer Mist and added pretty gold ribbon and pearls! Hope you all have a wonderful day! Thanks for taking time to visit me today!!

O Hear the Angel Voices

Fall on your knees,
O hear the angel voices,
oh night divine,
oh night when Christ was born!

Hi everyone! I made this card for two challenges. This week the Stampin' Sisters in Christ issued a challenge to make a Christmas card featuring an image which reminds us of what Christmas is really all about. I love this image and sentiment from two sets by Our Daily Bread designs called Worship the Lord and Reason for the Season. I colored the church image with copic markers and a white gel pen. Then masked the moon and sponged the night sky. Then added stickles! The designer paper is from a Hobby Lobby pack. I cuttlebugged the black designer paper with snowflakes. All of the designer papers are sponged. The sentiment was masked, cut with a spellbinders die, and sponged while still inside the die. Finished with black velvet ribbon. The sketch is from a card made by this week's Featured Stamper, DancerRiley! This is the card I cased. I changed to a square card and used all different colors and stamps and added a sentiment. Ok, one more card ready to go!!! I appreciate your visit!!

Rejoice and Be Glad

From the moment I saw this week's sketch at Midnight Madness, this idea has been swirling around in my head. I knew I was going to use these Spellbinders leaves with this beautiful Our Daily Bread designs image but I didn't necessarily want it to be a sympathy card either. So this card shows once again how versatile these stamp sets can be. I only used a portion of the sentiment that comes with this set called With Deepest Sympathy. The beautiful colors of fall gives us another reason to Rejoice and Be Glad!!!! I embossed the Chocolate Chip layer with a Spellbinders leaf and then cut, embossed and sponged the other leaves. I stamped the image and masked the sentiment and then cut out all the Spellbinders layers. I sprayed all of those things with Gold Glimmer Mist! Wow I just love that stuff! However, I should have sprayed the background and let it dry before embossing because the pretty, deep impression sort of disappeared! Anyway, I distressed the edges of the background layers with a distressing tool, added the Olive ribbon and then put all the pieces together. The pretty gold rhinestone was the last thing to embellish this card. Thanks to the team at Midnight Madness for another great sketch to work with. And thanks to all of you for visiting! Hope you all have a wonderful weekend!

Just Playing

Ok, here is one I made today. I have been wanting to play with my Rubber Stamp Tapestry stamps for a while so I decided today was the day! Now for some reason, these stamps baffle me a little bit. I just don't seem to know when to stop so I just keep going and going and going...
I started by embossing a piece of designer paper by The Paper Studio. Then the Lattice Spellbinders pendant, layered up with more Spellbinders dies. I stamped and sponged, added the extra pendant pieces in the corners and ribbon. This is one busy card! I am so thankful for my playing time today! Busy card or not! Thanks for stopping by and hope you have a great Thursday!

Praying for You

Hi there! This is for the sketch challenge today! Haven't done a SCS sketch in a while so when I saw that the sketch being provided was inspired from a card created by my friend Angella, I went right to work! The stamps I used are from two of the three sets released this month from Our Daily Bread designs, called Praying for You and With Heartfelt Sympathy. The dragonflies were cut out and sponged with Soft Sky and Chocolate Chip and then sprayed with Glimmer Mist. The sentiment was masked to fit onto this smaller area. My Stamp-a-ma-jig really comes in handy for this type of thing! I added EK Success punched borders, a pretty white bow, and three tiny brown pearls. Thanks for a great sketch and inspiration! And thanks y'all for coming by today! I love having you visit!
