Halloween In Pink

 Hi Ya!!!

How's your weekend going? Mine is going pretty good. It was so lovely today in Texas just beautiful. I hope you all are okay where ever you are and to all my crafty friends in Florida I am praying for you all.  

Today I am up at Really Reasonable Ribbon, yep, I created another Halloween card but in different colors. I thought this would be a fun and challenging creation.  Especially when I saw a few challenges that wanted a pink Halloween card or project. I had to take on the challenge. :D 

For my card I used one of the pink diamond satin ribbons from the Pretty Pink Diamond Satin Assortment and the spider web black satin ribbon. 

For this card I used spiderweb embossing folder. I embossed the Witch Hat from Graphic 45 stamp Happy Haunting in pink and embossed the the little stars in the sky. I fussy cut the little bats that are from another stamp in my stash and placed them around the Pink Witch Hat image. I created a beautiful pink bow using the pink diamond satin ribbon with the Bow it All V3.0 Tool. I also used the rest of my Spider web ribbon it's behind the my image. I also used an edge punch for the bottom layer of my card. 

Supplies:

Reasonable Ribbons - spider web black satin ribbon and  Pretty Pink Diamond Satin Assortment
Stamps - Graphic 45 stamp - Happy Haunting
Paper - Recollections - Midnight Magic
Inks - Distress inks picked raspberry; black memento ink; distress inks - faded jeans & chipped sapphire; copics

Well I wanted to share with you a card I made using the Cricut Explore. I am liking this machine more and more everday, seriously. :D
I didn't really use it a whole lot in the past years but lately I've been using it a lot. I have some other goodies to share with you all well. (heheheee) Will be posting those soon. :D

The Birthday Card I made is using an image from the cartridge Baby Steps - Toy. The image is just adorable, and so easy to cut.

you can attach it to your image.

Spring Flowers for Easter

Good Morning All, 

Here this morning to bring you some Spring and Easter Inspiration today for the Crafty Sentiments Inspirational Blog. 

I used an embossing folder and glitter to achieve my glittery paper look. 

First I started with my embossing folder - Rub vera mark on the flat side of the emboss design, then run through your embossing machine, spread a heat 'n stick powder on top of the versa mark, heat the heat 'n stick powder til it is melted on the card, last add your glitter and then heat til melted into the card. 

I stamped my image onto white cardstock, used the same embossing folder with my image then I cut out the middle part to fit in the middle of my embossed glitter cardstock (so used the embossing folder twice, one on the colored cardstock and the other on the white cardstock with my image); using pop dots on the back of the image to raise it a little. You can achieve this technique with any type of embossing folders. 

The image I used is Rosie Spring Flowers, its just such a lovely image for Spring and Easter. 

You can find the image at Crafty Sentiments Designs Shop. She's so sweet.

Supplies:

Stamp: Crafty Sentiments Designs Shop - Rosie Spring Flowers; Inky Antics Stamp - Happy Easter

Paper: Neenha white cs for copics; Recollections - pink paper

I hope you all are having a nice day so far. It's been a good weekend here, I don't know if some of you know my daughter is getting married next year. With that being said we have been looking at wedding venues and wedding dresses every weekend for the last three weekends.

Concentrating on one thing at a time. Right?

Enough of my story....Today I am sharing with you a card I made for One Stitch At A Time's New Challenge - Anything Goes with Nature.

I re-sized it to fit inside a small oval I cut, I printed the image twice, used an embossing folder over one of the images and then printed fussy cut the other to pop-up over the other one.

Here are pictures of my card: (I think I'm gonna give this as a Mother's Day Card) :D

Used the gorgeous Graphic 45 Secret Garden papers with various green's, 

along with my green flowers. 

Used Spellbinders Die - Romantic Rose with small oval die

***Here you can see where I placed the second image I colored and fussy cut 

on top of the first image that was embossed.
