Festival of Trees for CCC23

Happy Monday!  I hope you all had a wonderful weekend.  I had a busy one, but I still have two cards to share with you today.  The first card is for the sketch challenge from the Creative Challenge Club.

I kept true to the sketch and did a square card using the scallop square from the Square Framelits Collection.

Isn't this a beautiful frosty card!  Pool Party is simply perfect for wintertime.

The card base is embossed with the On Point embossing folder for a little texture.  A layer of Dazzling Diamonds Glimmer paper adds a bit of sparkle along with a silver foil tree.

I also added a little texture to the tree with the Northern Flurry embossing folder.  The silver foil looks simply amazing with the snowflake embossed on it!

A little bit of All is Calm Designer Paper is underneath the simple sentiment from Good Greetings.

Final touch and splash of color is a sweet little red cardinal just above the sentiment.

I really love how pretty this card is with Pool Party, glimmer and a little touch of red.  I hope you liked it as well and are feeling inspired to stamp!  Just go to the Creative Challenge Club for all the details and more great samples from the Design Team.

Festival of Trees for CCC20

It's Monday and as usual I have two cards to share today.  The first card is for the sketch challenge from the Creative Challenge Club.

I am all about Christmas, so my card features Festival of Trees and All is Calm Designer Series Paper.

This card has a little bit of everything.  There's embossing, patterns, stamping and bling!  The Whisper White card base is embossed with On Point, I just love the little trees!  Next, several patterns of All is Calm paper bring color to the card and set up the focal point.  The tree is stamped on Whisper White with Pear Pizzaz and punched out.  It has a few sequins for ornaments and a simple sentiment below.  A couple of silver glimmer stars complete the design.

This was a quick and fun card thanks to designer paper!  I hope it inspires you to create a card and join in the challenge!  You can find all the details plus more great samples at the Creative Challenge Club blog.  You can also visit the Designer's blogs for more information about their cards.

White Christmas for CCC19

Monday's here (already!) and as usual I have two cards to share.  This first post is for the Creative Challenge Club sketch.

In keeping with the Christmas cards I've been working on the last few weeks, I made a card with White Christmas for the challenge.

I just LOVE the sweet little polar bear in this set.   When I saw a bag of fake snow at the Dollar Tree, I bought it knowing I would make great shaker cards with this set.

The frosty All is Calm Designer Paper is so beautiful with the white snow in the shaker.  Kind of makes you feel cold looking at it!  Per usual I used window sheet and dimensionals to construct the shaker.  The cut out for the scene is one of the Chalk Talk framelits, it fit perfectly.

I added in a few other details to make the card extra special.  A couple of snowflakes with rhinestones on the shaker brighten up the focal point.  And of course I always add in stars and silver glimmer paper!

I hope you are feeling inspired to join the challenge with us!  Just go to the Creative Challenge Club for all the details plus more great samples from the Design Team.

Four Feathers

I have lots to share this week, starting with two challenges for today!  The first challenge is for the Creative Challenge Club.  We have a fun sketch for the week.

I went with soft colors and Four Feathers, a break from Christmas cards today!

I love this set, there is so much versatility!  This is a sympathy card with muted colors.  Inspiration came from the Moonlight Designer Series Paper Stack.  I wanted to keep the design crisp and clean with just a few colors and simple stamping.

Before adding a strip of designer paper to the center, I stamped a couple of feathers in Smokey Slate to keep the muted look.  The focal point is made up of a couple of stamps.  The watercolor background is from For All Things, stamped in Soft Sky.  The sentiment is from Blooming with Kindness from the main catalog stamped with Lost Lagoon.  The feathers are stamped and die cut with the Four Feathers Bundle.  Two Pear Pizzaz feathers and one Lost Lagoon feather surround the sentiment to finish off the card.

I also stamped the outside of the envelope to make a complete look.

We would love for you to join the challenge with us!  Just go to Creative Challenge Club for more details and great samples from the Design Team.

Happy Winter!

Today I have a couple of cards to share.  The first is a winter themed card for the Creative Challenge Club sketch.

When I looked at the sketch, I thought a snowflake or star would be great in place of the flower.  So I went with Wintertime and a frosty set of colors.

I love Pool Party for winter cards, usually it's paired with another blue or silver.  Today I combined it with a color I haven't used in forever....Wisteria Wonder.  The cool colors look BEAUTIFUL together!  A little silver added in and this card is a real gem.

The base is embossed with the Northern Flurry embossing folder to add texture to the open area of cardstock.   The focal point of the card is the Wintertime stamp.  To get the two colors at one time, I used markers instead of ink pads.  The largest Apothecary framelit fit beautifully with the stamp, it just needed trimmed down a bit to fit along the side of the card.

A bit of silver was added in for contrast and sparkle.  The 1/8" silver ribbon, a few silver glimmer stars and a couple of rhinestones did the job nicely.

I hope you enjoyed today's unusual color combination!  Why don't you give the sketch a try for yourself??  You can go to the Creative Challenge Club blog for all the details plus more great card samples from the Design Team.  You can also visit the Designer's blogs for more information about their cards.
