Thank You Card

Today's Use Your Stash Challenge at Scrapperie is to use 15 different embellishments/techniques on a layout or card. I decided to create a card and thought this would be really easy to accomplish - alas, not as easy as I thought!!!! But after a lot of scrounging around, I came up with this card using the following items from my stash:



pattern paper
cardstock
metal photo corner
paper clip
brad
charm
stamp
ink
ribbon
rubon
flower
ticket
string
embossing
stitching

This was totally fun to do. So go check out the challenge at Scrapperie and let's see what you can create.

You're My Cup of Cocoa

I created this card for the sketch challenge at die cuts r us. All papers are left overs. The background stamp is Kat Stamps and the foreground stamp is Stampabilities. I cut the cup with my Cricut Expression and Christmas Cheer, then embossed it with Swiss Dots for some dimension.

Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas

I created this card for a challenge at die cuts r us to create a new card using left over Christmas stuff. Well, I definitely have tons of leftover Christmas stuff so I cut the image from my Cricut Expression and A Child's Year, then embossed the border with Cuttlebug Swiss Dots. The stamp is from Hampton Arts. The background is the Cuttlebug Snowflake embossing folder.

Happy Birthday to you

Over at Kat Stamps today, the challenge was to use purple, blue, pink and lime green (with a touch of black and white) along with an older stamp. So I pulled out my Imaginisce paper which had all those colors, paired it with some Prism and American Crafts cardstock and a Grab Bag Happy Birthday stamp and this is the result.


The Grab Bbags have oodles of fun and funky stamps and are definitely worth the price. So head on over to Queen Kat Designs Store and check out all the stamps.

Dream Mini Album

Well, as we start a new year, I'd love for us to Dream about what the future will bring and hope that it brings everything we're wishing for.

Today I was playing with my new Spellbinders long rectangle dies. I thought I'd create a mini book, but found the longest scalloped die wasn't long enough, so I elongated it by cutting half the die first, then moving the cut portion up so that I got the size I was looking for. I then embossed the covers with my Cuttlebug D'Vine Swirls embossing folder. I then used the non-scalloped rectangle die as the pages of my book, cutting them so they fit. Using my bind it all, I created a binding and added ribbons. The tabs were punched with a Stampin' Up punch and adhered to the pages. Dream was stamped from JustRight stamps and the Spellbinders oval dies. It was adhered to some Doodlebug papers with a Prima flower and brad. A little lace jazzed it up a bit.




Supplies:
Cardstock: Bazzill
Pattern paper: Doodlebug
Embossing: Cuttlebug
Stamp: JustRight
Ink: Memento
Flower: Prima
Brad: Making Memories

Thanks for looking.
