Poinsettias and bells

 I love the spellbinders cut and emboss folder poinsettia and bells because it also cuts the panel on the front of this project and its just beautiful.  I have many ideas in my mind for this versatile folder and am so glad there are challenges for holiday cards year round.  I will definitely use this folder alot.  I will upload them to my blog whenever I use it to show the many different uses for it.  I am pleased with the way this one turned out but am also looking forward to the many other projects i will do.

Can you Handle the Pressure

Hygge Holidays

 I have been in a pretty creative mood for a couple weeks and I got several projects completed.  I made this with the new SSS monthly kit and I just love the designs of this set.  They are absolutely adorable.  I also love the embossing folder with the cute little hats, gloves and scarves.  It just screams winter and snow to me.  I did buy the coordinating dies to go along with this stamp set but I completed this with just stamping and I was totally happy with the finished result.

GCFAOS DT Card

I made this offset gatefold card using stampin up products and was pleased with the outsome.  The DSP is a discontinued paper that I really didnt care for except this print bc this print reminds me of winter and ice and snow so it works well for christmas and winter cards.  I used this project for the GCFAOS patterned paper challenge.

613 Ave Creates AG DT option card

I made this card for the anything goes 613 Ave Creates card challenge.  I used a spellbinders 3d embossing folder and brushed black cardstock, I love this stuff!!  Its such luxurius card stock and I feel so fancy using it.  I also used a wax seal with gold tim holtz cardstock and the spellbinders dies.  It is a side folding A2 card.  I will add a panel of 4 x 51/4" white card stock to stamp a sentiment and sign it.  I was so happy with this finished design I will be making more for different occasions and sending them to family and friends!!  I cant wait to see all of the talent that I know shows up for this challenge blog every month and I wish them all the best of luck!!

 

GCFAOS # 3

I love haloween and decided that since our 3rd GCFAOS 3rd Challenge would be one of my last times I could use a halloween design I decided to use my SSS kit to do it.  I just loved this kit, all of the cuteness that was enclosed was amazing and the price is such a bargain for all you get.  I did not use the glossy black paper included but used the spellbinder brushed black cardstock instead.  I love this stuff, It is such a beautiful and high quality cardstock.  If you havent used it I highly recommend it because I think you will love it too.  My 10 year old daughter came in as I was working and asked to color too so she stamped the skull and ghost and colored both and they were so good I used them both and my jack o lantern on the inside...  I did cover up alot of my glitter paper and wish I had not covered that up so much but love the overall look regardless.

 

Beautiful Blossoms challenge

I made this card using honeybee stamps winter watercolor and matching dies.  I also used the re inkers on the baby wipe  method to get the colors mixed, then stamped my floweres in daffodil delight, wild wheat and pumpkin pie inks, the foliage was next and I used old olive and lost lagoon.  After I completed my stamping I used the matching dies to cut each image out and on a 4 1/4 x 11 pc of night of navy cardstock scored at 5 1/2 and then cut all but 1/4 inch off of the front and on a see through panel arranged my front how I wanted and then used press and seal to hold it all together, applied a strong adhesive to hold the individual pieces together and then attached it all as one piece to the top of the night of navy no that 1/4 inch tab.  I used my glimmer to foil the just a note from the essestinal glimmer sentimates also from spellbinders.  I will finish with a sentimate inside with a white piece of white cardstok adhered so I can also write a message.  I will be submitting to the following challenges
