CAS-ual Fridays Challenge: CFC87

The challenge this week at the CAS-ual Fridays blog is CFC87: Make your Mark. I love using my alcohol markers and had an idea for a Clean and Simple one layer card. With Valentine's Day just around the corner, I thought I would make a CAS Valentine. The stamp is from My Cute Stamps. Isn't she adorable? Thanks for stopping by!

Papertrey January Blog Hop Challenge

The following card was created for the Papertrey Ink January Blog Hop: Black Backgrounds! I went through several "versions" of this card. I realized quickly that not all embossing powders work well embossing on black backgrounds. I used the Rosie Posie set for this card and embossing powders from Ranger and Inkadinkado. Thanks so much for taking a look.

Hello Sunshine!

I wanted to share a Clean and Simple card today. This card was inspired by two challenges:


CAS-ual Fridays: CFC86 - Create a CAS card that has one long side and one short side.3 x 6, 4 x 8, etc.
Simon Says Stamp Challenge: Use Washi Tape

The card I created is  a 3x6 card. The "sunshine" is cut using my Silhouette Cameo. Thanks for taking a look!

MFTWSC107: Cheers!

Hi! The following card was created based on MFT's Wednesday Stamp Club Sketch #107 (MFTWSC107)! I varied my design slightly as I did not have an oval that would fit my stamp image. I absolutely love this a la modes martinis on me stamp! She is so cute!

The patterned papers are from from a 6x6 In Colors paper pad from Stampin' Up. The ribbon and bling are Recollections. Thanks for stopping by!

SP Trends Challenge #2: Hexagons

Hi Everyone! I am here today to share a card I created for a challenge over at Scrapmaster's Paradise: SP Trends Challenge #2: Hexagons. I am about as crazy for hexagons as I am for chevrons, so I was super excited to create a card for this challenge. I knew right away I wanted to play with my Tiny Build a Banner stamp set from SP& Company.  The hexagon background was created using a Cuttlebug embossing folder to create the hexagons in the background. Thanks for stopping by!

Simon Says Stamp Challenge and JandSib80 Birthday Challenge

The following card was made for a very special lady who is going to celebrate her 51st Birthday: Sybil who is JandSib80 on YouTube. I knew I wanted to use the C.C. Designs Latte Kiki stamp, but was having a little trouble coming up with my card design. The Simone Says Stamp Challenge this week is Black and White with a Splash of Color. This is how I came up with the following card. I hope you like it!

SP Trends Challenge #1: Chevron

Hi Everyone! I am here today to share a card I created for a new challenge over at Scrapmaster's Paradise: SP Trends Challenge #1: Chevron. I absolutely LOVE chevrons so couldn't wait to create a card for this challenge. I made the following card using a sentiment from the SP & Company Swirly Doo Valentine's stamp set. The paper is from a recollections paper pack from Michael's and the little onesie die is from Papertrey Ink. Thanks for stopping by!

CARDS BLOG CHALLENGE: JANUARY 2013

The following card was created for the January 2013 Cards Blog Challenge. The Challenge this month is to make a card using Chartreuse, Aqua and Light Gray. I love this combination and was so excited to see the challenge this month was sponsored by Paper Smooches. The sentiment I used is from the Setiment Sampler stamp set. I used my Silhouette to cut out the Chevron design (Lori Whitlock) and a MFT die for the flowers. Thanks for stopping by!

Simon Says Stamp Challenge - New Something

The challenge this week at the Simon Says Stamp Challenge is New Something! I decided to make a card for a "new" baby. The sentiment is from the Simon Says Stamp "Handwritten Sentiments" stamp set. The patterned paper is a scrap from the DCWV Mademoiselle stack. Thanks for stopping by!

Happy New Year and a few Challenges
