Merry Monday - July Challenge (July 29th)

We are into the last week of the Merry Monday July Challenge. I am so excited about how many people played along with us so far and there is still a little time left.

 

 

 I went with a CAS card for this week. I stamped the Tree Seal in red and fussy cut the tree from designer paper and popped it up with foam tape. I added a simple strip of design paper with a small red frame.

 

 

Supples: Natural white and red card stock, Designer Paper - Dovecraft, Technique Tuesday-Merry Christmas Tree Seal, Spellbinders.

 

Cheers,

Nina

Elegant Thank you

I always seem to be in need of Thank you cards, and I was trying for a little elegance with this one. I created a border with a punch then added some designer paper. I stamped the sentiment in a deep brown and added some cream satin ribbon and a bow. I finished with some pearls.

 

I also popped up the panel with foam tape to give a little extra depth.

 

 

 

Supplies: Natural white and black cardstock, Designer Paper - Basic Grey, TPC Studio-Flourish Text, pearls, ribbon, misc punch.

Cheers,

Nina

Cricut Thank you

I have a vacation coming up and I plan to visit a few craft supply stores during my travels so I have been trying to use of some of my current supplies. That just makes me realize that I really don't need to shop... that won't stop me though :) new stuff always inspires creativity.

 

I used my Cricut to cut out the Thanks and popped the panel up with foam tape. I used some simple layers to create the frames. I finished with some pearls.

 

 

 

Supplies: Cream and brown cardstock, Designer Paper - Basic Grey, Cricut, pearls.

Muse Card Challenge #24

I had a chance to spend a little time in my craft area today so I created a card for this week’s Muse Challenge.

I used  Laurie's card as a sketch to create a masculine birthday card. I used a brown card base and added a layer of DP.  I stamped the sentiment on the DP then added a row of buttons.

Take a look at the this weeks Muse card HERE.

Supplies: Brown and tan card stock, Designer Paper-American Crafts, Embosslets - Buttons, The Alley Stamps - Jibber Jabber.

Tuesday Morning Sketches #205

We are having some super nice summer weather, it makes it hard to hang out indoors :) but I wanted to try out the newest sketch for Tuesday Morning Sketches.

 

 

This is such a great layout, I may use it more than once. I stamped the image then used Spellbinders to cut it out. I did the same for the frame but split it down the middle so I could frame the smaller circle then used foam tape to pop them both up.

 

I used a die cut for the button and added foam tape  to that as well. I finished with some twine and the sentiment.

 

Supplies: Natural white and navy cardstock, Designer Paper - Bo bunny, Technique Tuesday - All Aboard, The Alley Way Stamps - Get the Point, embossing folder,  twine, misc die cuts and punches.

Cheers,

Nina
