This card is for a challenge over at the Stampendous Blog ...you can find all of the info there...and here is my card:

and the inside:

My pictures cane out dark today for some reason...

The card base is Bazzill Bling...and the PP is Basic Grey's Sweet Threads...I am so loving this pad of paper!!...and the other new ones just released!!...the circles were punched out of GKD ivory cardstock...the stamps are mostly Studio G and some older ones I got from Walmart a few years ago...I stamped with Peeled Paint Distress Ink...Versa magic Niagara Mist...and the pink is Studio G also...there wasn't a color that I could find...

The circles stamped with the distress ink I covered with Glossy accents...I used a Sakura glitter pen on all of the other circles...I also used a Bic Mark It to color the leaves of the holly leaves...I really like how these circles turned out!!...I wish I could have gotten a better photo!!...the ribbon, brads and bling are from my stash!!

Have a great evening!!

Flip~Flop Card

I made this card for the Simon Says ~ Mulitfold Cards/Creations Challenge...here is my card:

There was a lot of measuring and figuring stuff out on this card...but it was a lot of fun!!

I got the template for this card out of Cardmaker Magazine...if you're interested I'm sure  you could Google it and get all of the measurements...

The card base is Bazzill cardstock...and the pattern paper is from Basic Grey's June Bug...all edges are inked with Antique Linen Distress Ink...

the ivory cardstock is GKD...I stamped Hero Art's Anitque Background with Antique Linen Distress Ink and then stamped the butterfly {Close to My Heart ~ Celebrate Life} over top with Persimmons Versa Magic Chalk Ink and embossed with clear embossing powder...I pierced and inked the edges...I added a little bit of ribbon and some dew drops to the focal image...It just needed a little something!!

It's raining and cool here today!!...I am so enjoying this cooler weather!!

Have a great night!!

CDAC PROGRESSIVE FREEBIE CHALLENGES

Here is a card I made with the Digi from  Stamp n Doodle  ...Isn't she adorable!!....

I had fun coloring this one!!...I love the expression on her face...Kind of makes me think she is trying to get on the teachers good side right away!!....

The card base is Bazzill...the solid purple panel is Bazzill Bling...and the pattern  paper is from a DCWV 12 X 12 paper pad...I used a Martha Stewart punch on the purple panel and used scissors to distress the edges...I used Versa Magic Niagara Mist on the edges of both the purple and pattern papers... 

I colored the digi with Copics and cut her out...I used the black Copic to go around the edges...so there wasn't any white showing...Glossy Accents was used on the apple and her shoes...I used two little white pearls in her hair!!

I got the chalkboard at a garage sale last year...I found a lot of crafty goodness that day!!...I colored the edges with a Copic and wrote ABC 123 with chalk...I attached it to the card with score tape...the sentiment at the top of the card is from Basic Grey...the fiber and bling are from my stash!!

You should check the challenge out...the digi's are wonderful...and free...IF you follow the rules of the challenge!!

That's it for now!!...Hope everyone is have a great holiday weekend!!

Simon Says STAMP-tember Blog Hop

Simon Says Stamp Blog has all of the details about their month long event!!...rush over Here and check it out!!

Here is my card for the ANYTHING challenge:

I love how the background turned out!!...On Splitcoaststampers the challenge for Monday was Embossed Kisses...You were to take a solid rubber stamp and ink it up...then ink the "popped" out side on an embossing folder...and "Kiss" the stamp to the embossing folder...

My DD made a 5" x 7" rubber stamp for me when she was in high  school...I used the back of that rubber stamp and inked it up with Antique Linen Distress Ink...I then Inked the popped out side of the Cuttlebug Textile Embossing Folder with Always Artichoke Stampin' Up! Ink...and kissed them together!!..I inked the edges with Always Artichoke...and used a Marta Stewart border punch on the bottom of it...I popped the panel up with pop dots....I think it looks like old wallpaper!!...

I used stamps from Gina K Designs' Elegant Flowers and stamped on GKD ivory cardstock...Always Artichoke and Versa Magic Purely Plumeria inks to stamp the flowers...and Spellbinders Label 1 to cut out the panel...I cut the next larger one from Kraft cardstock to layer it on...the edges were first inked with Antique Linen distress Ink and then Always Artichoke...I popped this layer up also!

I stamped the sentiment using Always Artichoke...and used the smallest Scalloped Rectangle Nestie to cut it out...I inked the edges of this also...the peals and ribbon are from my stash!! 

I am definitely going to do the "Embossed Kissing" again...there are so many different possibilities..with different colors of ink and embossing folders!!   

Have a Great Night!!...and don't forget to check out Simon Says Blog and Store!!
