For the November challenge we were to make an easel card using Letters to Santa DSP or 3 of these colors: riding hood red, old olive, marina mist, early espresso, blushing bride and whisper white.

I've never made an easel card before! I decided to try to keep it simple and use a few different punches.

Join us for this challenge by following SCS's tutorial on easel cards!

It's that time again! For this November Creative Crew challenge we were to make a tall card and case'd a card from the IB&C. I case'd the card on page 108.
I've changed the following from the card on page 108:
- instead of punched circles I used the new Snow Burst to create the textured bottom
- stamp set

Spooky Glitter!

October 11, 2011 in , ,
For the SCS's Creative Crew Catalogue Focus this month our challenge is to use Glitter! I'm in short supply of all things glittery but came across a bottle of Gold Spritz Spray! And it works so well to create stars on a black sky for a Halloween card!

The clouds were punched out with the Petite Pennant Punch. I spritzed the card base with the Gold Spritz Spray after running it through the Big Shot with the Spider Web Embossing Folder.

Supplies
Stamps: Out On A Limb, Teeny Tiny Wishes
Ink: Gold Spritz, Early Espresso, Stazon Black, Stampin' Write Markers: Daffodil Delight , Soft Suede, Blush Blossom
Paper: Basic Black, Daffodil Delight, Whisper White, Sahara Sand
Accessories: Petite Pennants Punch, 1-3/4" Circle Punch, Stampin' Dimensionals, Word Window Punch, Big Shot, Spider Web Embossing Folder

Fall Photo Frame

October 08, 2011 in , ,

For October's Creative Crew Scrapbooking Focus Challenge it was anything goes as long as it included a photo and was giftable! I've had this 5x7 acrylic frame for awhile just waiting for the right project. Start with a piece of card stock, add a photo, insert it in the frame, then embellish the outside of it with some ribbon and pearls. This would make a wonderful addition to any desk!

Supplies
Stamps: Falling Leaves, Thanks You Kindly
Ink: Soft Suede, Chocolate Chip, Early Espresso
Paper: Soft Suede, Old Olive, First Edition Desginer Series Paper
Accessories: Decorative Label Punch, Pearls, Very Vanilla Grosgrain Ribbon, 5x7 Acrylic frame
