Happy Fall Y'all!!

Hi everyone,

Come join us for some fun over at International Art & Soul for our Ch. #70 Celebrate Autumn.

Christmas Joy

Happy Sunday Everyone!

Hope you all are doing well. Today I am up over at Really Reasonable Ribbon. I decided to share a Christmas card I created with some of my favorite ribbons. I know we still have a few more months for Christmas but I thought this would be a great time to start on my Christmas cards. 

For this card I used that beautiful red organza sheer red ribbon. 

I know you probably recognize this ribbon from past projects, 

but I just couldn't help using it again. I think I need to order some more. lol 

I only have a little strand left. I also used the White Satin with Stitched Center

which a beautiful ribbon and comes in many different colors.  

 Here is a close up photo of the ribbon. 

I think the reason I really like this ribbon is the 

beautiful color of red and being that its made of organza

it just has a lovely shimmer affect when the light hits it just right. 

If you like this ribbon head over ReasonableRibbons.com or

 click on the highlighted link Really Reasonable Ribbon Organza sheer ribbon in red.

Helloo Deer

Hi all,

Hope you all are having a wonderful week. It's been a busy week so far and a little cooler here in Texas with temps in the 80's. :D  I hope you all are doing okay. I am here sharing a card I created for my some upcoming birthdays this fall so to start it off I created this masculine card.

Here is my card -

Today I have a wonderful masculine card for you all. A simple layout and using a couple of ribbons from Really Reasonable Ribbons that were perfect for this masculine card. I used 1.5" Brown Netting . I like how it added a bit of texture to the background and then I used the Textured Two-Tone Brown/Antique Gold with a gold button in the middle.
I really like how this card looks rustic, it turned out really cool with the ribbons and paper together. And the deer photo coordinates perfectly with the Textured Two-Tone Brown/Antique Gold.  I just love that ribbon it's so pretty but adds a great touch to a masculine card.

  I used 1.5" Brown Netting as part of my background again. 

I think it adds a really nice texture to the inside of the card as well. 

Supplies: Really Reasonable Ribbons -  1.5" Brown Netting ; Textured Two-Tone Brown/Antique Gold. 

Paper: DCWV - The Rustic Stack; Ultimate Tag Stack

Ink: PowderPuff - Amareto

Stamps: Stamp in Up stamps that were in my stash

Accessories: Stickles - champagne, gold button, TH ideaology - industrious stickers - Gallery (corner pieces)

Love Is In The Air

Good Morning all,

Wow!! Can you believe it's February already? It's amazing time is going by so fast. And with a before Valentine's Day we have a new challenge at One Stitch At A Time - Anything Goes with 
"Love Is In The Air", yep that's our new theme.

So here is my take on the theme.  I used an image from the Stitchy Bear Stamps Shop, by Stitchy Bear - Love .  I also used some of the items I received from Scraps Of Elegance January Kit. I just love their kits, they are so fun and filled with beautiful paper and goodies.

I cut out the frame first with Spellbinders die - majestic labels twenty-five, leaving a

little tab that is folded down behind the frame. I cut out the design paper to the fit the 

size of my card/frame and adhered the design paper on the back of the tab. 

This is what gave me framed look of the around my image.

I fussy cut the hanging hearts from the paper and used stickles around the hearts and envelope.

The little blue flowers are from Heartfelt Creations - Stripped Sun Kiss colored with

light blue gelatos and filled with white prills.

For my image I layered it twice. I printed off on regular white cardstock and then

I printed it off on the pink patterned paper. 

The design paper I used is from Blue Fern - Blush paper collection, the two sheets

 I used to make this card is Enamored & Sweetheart.

Once I cut and colored everything I layed out my image and used pop dots

to give it a 3D effect.

 Here I colored with my copic markers. I used white flower soft

to achieve a fur look to her coat. It reminded

me of the old vintage coats that had fur on them. 

I also printed the man & woman image a third time

to enlarged the size so it would match the same 

size of the Love sentiment.

Glitter Me Happy

Hi all my crafty buddies,

It's raining this morning and I am just wanting to stay in bed and hibernate for the day. Oh, just a dreary day. (Big Yawn)

So today I am sharing a card I made using the Card Sketch by DCWV. They have a Sketch Challenge using Layout Sketch or Card Sketch. I like using sketches when making a card, makes it easier, I know exactly where to put stuff. lol  For this card I knew exactly what I wanted to use but wasn't sure how this was going to turn out.
Went shopping with a crafty buddy this week and found the Mariposa DCWC papers in a mini stack and OMGosh!!! they are Gorgeous! I just loved using this stack may have to go get another one or see if I can find it 12x12.  lol
I don't know about you but I just love  DCWV papers, such great quality and the designs are just beautifully done. I also have used a stamp by DCWV, too. I bought last year so still new (cause I am a hoarder), so unwrapped and used on this card.

Well here is my card - (I will list what I used at the bottom)

***I like this embossing folders detailed pattern***

Items Used:

Supplies:
Stamps: DCWV stamp - Vintage Collector
Paper: DCWV - The Mariposa Mini Stack; The Burlap Paper Stack; MultiMedia Paper; SU-Blush
Ink: Memento - ; TH Distress Ink - Tea Ink; Gold ink - inked across embossed image
Accessories: Stickles - Champaign; Embossing Folder - Textile Texture
