Joy Tree

Hello everyone!  Here is a peek at one of the new sets being released on Oct 1st from Our Daily Bread designs!  This single stamp set is called Joy Tree and is perfect for quick simple cards!  This set of six cards also meets my Christmas Card Challenge with SCS for the month of September!  I challenged myself to make 5-10 Christmas cards each month and so far I have met my goal!  WooHoo!  Each tree is heat embossed with white embossing powder.  The poinsettia embossed back ground is done with a StampinUp! embossing folder.  One card has the Spellbinders lattice die cut and two cards have punched borders.  All cards are decorated with silver rhinestones, buttons or ribbon.  And each card is sprayed with Marshmallow Glimmer Mist.  Thanks so much for looking!  Hope to see you for the monthly release blog hop this Saturday, October 1st!!!  Enjoy the rest of your week!!

Sweet Williams and Cheery Doilies

Hi there!  I've got a couple of cards to share tonight!  

The first one is for the sketch challenge at Christian Paper Crafts.  

I used a sheet of pale blue card stock from Archivers.  I embossed the background with a folder from the Cuttlebug Preserves collection.  I added a border punched with and EKSuccess punch.  I stamped the Sweet William from ODBD twice and heat embossed with white powder.  On the top flower, I cut each petal to give it more dimension.  To create the center, I used a scrap of lace in my stash, rolled it up and secured it with glue.  Then I added the pearl!  The lace and ribbon along the border is from Really Reasonable Ribbon.  I made the bow with my Bow Easy tool!  To complete the card, I sprayed it with Marshmallow Glimmer Mist.

Here is a close up of my second card!

And here is the full card:

I just got this great new doily die from Cheery Lynn Designs!  So pretty!!  After cutting it out, I used a stylus on the back to try to give it an embossed feel.  I added the EKSuccess border at the bottom.  I stamped the sentiment from ODBD Mini Tags Three and cut it out with a Spellbinders circle.  Then I added Martha twig around the center, Martha Hydrangea flower around the doily, lots of pearls and finally a pretty little white bow I made with my Bow Easy.  I sprayed it with Marshmallow Glimmer Mist to finish the card!

That's it tonight!  Thanks for visiting and I'll see you again soon!

Faithful Butterflies

Hi there!  Thanks for stopping in tonight!  

I have another card to show you that I made using a sketch challenge at Christian Paper Crafts!  

The stamps are from one of this month's releases by Our Daily Bread designs called Faith.  I colored the image with copics and then cut out three rectangles with a Spellbinders die and my Grand Calibur. I stamped the sentiment before running the Prima designer paper through my Cuttlebug with Cassie's Brocade folder.  The base card is Regal Rose card stock.  I added the seam binding and the butterfly charm and then the pearls.  It didn't feel complete though, so after pondering over it for a little while, I cut out three more butterflies, attached them with glue dots and covered them with pink stickles!  

Thanks again for stopping by!  Have a wonderful evening!
