Christmas Card Challenge-August

Second post of the day!  Six more cards for the Christmas Card Challenge on SCS!  WooHoo!  Just realized that you can't see the other cards in my photo but I promise 

there are two more of each design behind the two that you see!!  I seriously love these Sepia Card Toppers from Flower Soft!  I colored them with copic markers, stamped the sentiment from the Mistletoe Tag Set on three of the toppers, and added Polar White Flower Soft!  I made the bows with my Bow Easy and glued them down.  The background is a Sizzix embossing folder.  

The final addition was a few sprays of Marshmallow Glimmer Mist!!!   

Thanks for stopping by!  

Please join us tomorrow for the monthly release blog hop at Our Daily Bread designs! 

Caregiver

Good morning!  Just a quick post this morning!  Hope to have another post later today but we'll see.  I have learned so many things these last couple of weeks.  Let's just say I have a new healthy respect for the caregivers of the world.  Not that I didn't before but there are so many things that I had never thought about.  I will share more details at a later time but for now, it's just one day at a time, Sweet Jesus!  I keep singing that song over and over!  And look at this sweet little caregiver on my card!  Mama bird works hard all day long caring for those precious little ones!  This is another in the series of cards I created using a Crafty Secrets Cotton Scraps sheet.  I recently found out from a friend that these are no longer available and that makes me so sad, as I only purchased the one sheet a while back!  And isn't that heart trim so adorable?!!  Too bad that is the only little piece I had!  The background is K&Co.  I rounded the top corners and added vintage lace and ric-rac.  Then I added the seam binding, bow, pearls and little flower, and some glimmer mist to finish the card!  If you have a summer inspiration to share, we invite you to link up your project to the Passionately Artistic Blog so we can see what you have been up to!  Thank you so much for spending a few moments with me this morning!  Hope you have a wonderful Wednesday!!!

September is Sneaking Up On Us!!!

Hi there!  Hope you have had a great day!  I have a little sneak peek at two of the new ODBD sets being released on the first!  I stamped the image several times, colored with copic markers and cut out the gardening glove, seed packet and shovel so I could layer those pieces over the other colored image.  The scripture is cut out with Spellbinders Ovals.  The background was done by embossing the white paper with the ODBD Butterfly embossing plate and then stamping the raised areas with the ODBD Brocade Background. 

We invite you to join us on the first for our monthly release day blog hop!!! 

Thanks for stopping by! 

Together

Good morning!  I have another card to show you using two of this month's new releases from ODBD called Spool & Tape and Sewn With Love!  After coloring the image, I cut it out with the coordinating Spool & Tape Die.  I layered this over a Cheery Lynn French Pastry Doily that is framing the scripture that is stamped onto Spellbinders Circles.  I laced some ribbon through the doily, tied a bow and added two buttons.  The background designer paper is embossed with the Vintage Border Embossing plate and inked with Antique Linen distress ink.  Finally I sprayed it a couple of times with Gold Glimmer Mist!

This is for the following challenges:

WT337-Recycling

SNTODBD42-Something lacy

ODBDSLC74-Doilies

Thanks for stopping by!!  Enjoy your weekend!

I just love this Flower Soft Lavender Papercraft Kit!  It is designed to coordinate with several Spellbinders Dies and really makes a beautiful card!   For my card, I used one of the scriptures from the newly released Scripture Series 2 set from Our Daily Bread designs.  I added touches of Flower Soft Lilac to the image surrounding the scripture.  The background layer is embossed with the ODBD Vintage Border Embossing Plate and then distressed along the edges with a distressing tool.  I pleated the ribbon by folding and gluing it down over the lace strip.  I made the bows with my Bow Easy tool and glued them down.  I died the smaller ribbon with a copic marker to match the colors in the Lavender Papercraft Kit.  Then I just added the cut out butterflies, the button and the pearls to complete the card!!!  Oh yeah, I also sprayed it a couple of times with Marshmallow Glimmer Mist!  That's it!!  

From here, please hop on over to Linda Beeson's blog!!!

Thank you again for joining us today!  Hope you enjoy the hop!  Have a wonderful day!

Sew Thankful

 

Hi all!  I have a card to show you using the new Sew Special set from ODBD!  I just love this nostalgic image with the old quilt draped over the rocking chair!  I colored it with copic markers and used the coordinating Rocking Chair die to cut it out.  I used today's Shining the Light sketch challenge on the ODBD blog.  I added lots of green Zva pearls.  I pleated the seam binding over the lace and then added vintage ric-rac.  I made the bow with my Bow Easy and added a pretty button.  I also sprayed the card with Dazzling Diamonds Glimmer Mist.  I can't remember the manufacturer of the designer paper, forgive me.  

I also have this one I made using a scripture from the new 2011 Customer Favorites Scripture Series 2 set and Scrolly Borders.  I used Spellbinders dies to create the frame.  The designer paper is SU! and is embossed with a Cuttlebug folder.  The lace is from my stash and I added a button and some pearls.  I sprayed Dazzling Diamond Glimmer Mist to complete this card!  

Thank you so much for visiting!  Enjoy your weekend!
