Flowers and Circles and Dots

A "card parts" card. The embossed pieces were both left over from a project.

I embossed the white main piece three times with a small Cuttlebug folder. I also scored a couple lines on it. The flowers are Primas and are attached with white brads. The green layer was embossed with a Swiss Dots Cuttlebug folder. I matted that layer with white and mounted on foam squares. The sentiment is from Papertrey ink and is stamped with Green Galore to match the matting and flowers.

Thanks!

As promised, I'm using up some pieces I've cut while going through some of my dies.

The "thanks" was cut with a Cuttlebug die from some shiny, textured black. It looked so cool all alone, that I didn't want to add much to it. I matted with a small piece of Real Red that was already cut and in my scraps. The sparkly flower is from Prima. I added a glittery red brad to the center. The card base is vanilla - even though it looks white!

Black and White Wedding

This is another "card parts" card. In my box was this stair-step card base. I had mis-cut it and one of the sides was wider than the other. I just cut the wider end down to make them even. So, this card is not quite "normal" size - but close.


The patterned paper is from a pad from The Paper Studio. The stamps are from Inkadinkado. The flower is from Prima. A rather elegant card, I think.

Repeat Impressions WHAT IF? Wednesday

Today starts a new WHAT IF? Wednesday challenge from Repeat Impressions. Wendy gives a sketch to us and challenges us (and you!) to come up with a card. You can find the sketch and all the details on the Repeat Impressions blog, The House That Stamps Built. You will also find the cards made by the Rock Stars. Or you can follow these links to their blogs:

For my card, I made a mask and sponged the color on the card front. I used a couple Tim Holtz Distress Ink pads. I stamped the butterfly on the card front, and also on a piece of scrap cardstock, cut it out, and popped it up. The strip across the bottom was a tiny scrap. The sentiment is from the new "Big Boys Toys" release, found on this page. I added a couple flowers with pearl centers, and also the same pearls to the bottoms of the triangles. We'd love to have you join us!

You also have almost another week to participate in the Designer's Choice Challenge. The challenge is to use two images and one sentiment. You can find that challenge here.

Thanks so much for stopping by, and I hope you'll come back and visit again soon!

Same Stamp - Different Orientation

I had some "extra" time to stamp last week and created these two cards. When I was cleaning up and putting some stamps away, I came across this grid stamp from Northwoods. I know I've had it for several years, but I don't think I had ever used it. Now I have:) I made these two cards which are very similar, but different enough that you get to see them both. 


For the card above, I went with green flowers and matting. The sentiment is from Papertrey Ink. I stamped the sentiment directly on the grid like the second card, but it wasn't positioned very well and it was hard to read. So, I stamped it on scrap paper, matted it with green, and mounted it on Dimensionals. The flowers have white brads for their centers.

Turquoise flowers and matting for this card, pearls for the flower centers, and the sentiment stamped directly on the grid - in an acceptable position.


Thanks so much for stopping by, and I hope you'll come back and visit again soon!

Fall-To Layout #163

I made this quick and easy card using the Fall-To Layout #163. (You can find the layout here, on Natasha's Clean and Simple Stamping blog.)


Not much to say about it: three Prima flowers, white brad centers, and a sentiment from The Paper Company:)


I have had almost no time for creating lately, but at least things have been good. My sister was in town from Atlanta and I went down to my mom and dad's for a couple days to spend some time with her. (Our parents were in Branson, so we had the house to ourselves.) I hope to have a little time to create today. I hope everyone has a great weekend!
