One layer card - winter flora

Hi there. Playing in the Less is More one layer challenge of winter flora today.

OMG - this card gave me fits. Have you ever made a card like 5 times before you got it right? UGH! I swear that sentiment was just not happening for me today. I finally got it right (it's from a Simon Says Stamp set, btw) and then I was cleaning it off of my misti and now the "holiday" part is missing in action. It is embossed with gold embossing powder from Hero Arts.

The fir branch is probably one of my oldest and most favorite stamps ever. It's from Great Impressions and it's so well loved/used that the wood block is green. =)

OK - I think I'm done for the day. Everything I touch is thrown in the trash bin because it's not straight or some other reason. Calgon take me away!

Thanks for stopping by!

Merry Christmas

Hello. Playing in the Freshly Made Sketch #408 this week.

Kept this one Clean and Simple. The border die is from Technique Tuesday. I cut it four times down the white cardstock panel and backed it with red. They layered it with green. Sentiment is from Papertrey, Ink.

Thanks for stopping by.

Anything goes - feel better soon!

Hi everyone. It's time for another challenge over at The House That Stamps Built. This week our challenge is the ever popular Anything Goes.

I used a bit of washi tape on this one. Seam binding is died to match colors. Copic's used to color the flower. Fabrika Decoru used on the centers of the flowers. Tag die cut tied on with twine.

Season's greetings

Hi all - playing in the Sunday Stamps sketch challenge today.

It was a bit difficult to capture a photo with the beautiful mirror silver cardstock on this. It reflects terribly. ;-)

Die is from Sizzix. I cut it out three times and stack them for more dimension. The sentiment is from Papertrey, Ink. I just cut strips of silver carstock to tape onto the card base based upon the sketch. Fun foam is used behind that panel to give this more depth. Otherwise, it's a very CAS card.

Thanks for stopping by!

Season's Greetings

Hi all - playing in the Freshly Made Sketch #407 today.

I used cream cardstock from PTI as the base of this card. Poinsettia dies are from Poppy Stamps. I cut the out and then distressed them with Ranger Distress inks.  Sentiment is from PTI.  Added some small gold self adhesive drops to add a bit of interest to this. I decided to make the poinsettias go off the edge just to be different.

My glue behind the leaves dried too fast, otherwise the ones on the top would be tucked up under just a bit more. Oh well. Thanks for stopping by.

Photo inspiration challenge

Hi everyone. It's time for another challenge over at The House That Stamps Built. This week our challenge is the use the following graphic.

Here is what I came up with for this challenge. I went with the colors and the shapes of the pumpkins. I used distress oxide inks on Bristol paper after heat embossing the frame stamps found here, at Repeat Impressions. Vertical sentiment can be found here. I added the two dragonflies at the last to balance out the card. As you can see, the front panel is shorter than normal to account for the sentiment.
