Muse Challenge #45

I though I would join in the fun for the current Muse Challenge.  I love the large snowflake Lucy used as the focal point for her card, and that is what I used on my card as well.

 

I used a die cut to for the snowflake then embossed the panel, I added a piece of scrap designer paper in behind. I then stamped the sentiment and added some gold twine and a star button with a gold gem. I even added a little ink to the edges.

 

You can see Lucy's card that used as my Muse: HERE

 

 

Supplies: Cream, brown and craft card stock, Designer Paper - Unknown, Verve - Bright Spirits, Memory Box die cut, embossing folder,  twine, gem.

I have been encouraged to also join in the fun over as Festive Friday too so I will head over there and link up, another challenge to look forward in the new year :).
 

Cheers,

Nina

Merry Monday #85

We have a new  Merry Monday Christmas Card Challenge, and Lesley's has another fabulous image for inspiration today.

 

 

I have never created a white on white card before, I actually try to stay away from white card stock all together truth be told.  Nothing white ever stays white around me...ever. Surprise surprise I managed to keep this card clean... probably because I did not go anywhere near an ink pad.

 

I used an embossing folder to create some snowy background texture. I then used a number of die cuts for hills, the buck and snowflakes. I used my SCAL software with my Cricut for the sentiment and I popped up the snowflakes, sentiment and one tree with foam tape. I finished with some gems on the snowflakes.

 

Supplies: White card stock, Cricut, SCAL software, Memory Box die cuts, Papertrey die cut, gems.

 

Stop by Lesley's blog  and see what the Design Team has created and play along with us for Merry Monday.

 

Cheers,

Seize the Birthday - Use Pink

Ok, I know I don't usually say a whole lot in my blog posts. This week has been a series of short and sweet posts and this evening is no different. Tonight my card is for the new Seize the Birthday challenge.

 

 

Be sure to take a peek at the blog because they have some extra special news to share. Congratulations Jenny.

 

 

I was so determined to make this pretty pink paper work, just look at it all girly and such :) I am so not girly. I admit I struggle with the feminine cards, but I am happy with the end results.

 

I heat embossed the sentiment and it is popped up with foam tape, I inked the edges of the designer paper and used lots of layers. I even added a little texture to the brown strip.  I just had to work the sentiment on the DP into the card and I finished with a couple of sets of deep brown sequins.

 

 

 



Supplies: Cream and brown card stock, Designer Paper - Glitz, Papertrey Ink - Birthday Bash Sentiments, sequins.

 

Cheers,

Nina
