Happy Birthday Grandma - cupcake crafts challenge #28

It is my dear grandmother's 90th birthday, and this is her card. I wasn't sure what I was going to do, but when I saw the great challenge from Cupcake Crafts this week, this image popped into my head. I used a peachy pink medallion paper from making Memories and a piece of vellum with cabbage roses on it from The Paper Factory. Trimmed everything with ribbon, and used Christmas Cheer's scalloped frame for the center. I cut double and layered with pop dots. Then I took lots of peachy pink paper flowers, attached them, and set pearls in the center. (My Grandma's name is Pearl!!) Lettering is stickers.

Cupcake Craft Challenge #24 High Hopes Challenge #15 You Make My Heart Flutter

This is my first shaker card! It was so much fun too. The stamps are High Hopes (played with on the computer until I get the size I need), the paper is from Target $1 stuff, and I used my Christmas Cheer cartridge frame feature (snowglobe) to get the frame cut. The pink cardstock is embossed with the swiss dots folder and the ribbon at the bottom is from Wal-Mart. Guess what is used for the "shakers"? Cupcake sprinkles shaped like hearts!

To make the shaker card I cut out the frame and 2 squares of acetate the same size. I attached one piece of acetate to the card. The other piece I attached to the frame with some double sided tape. Then I put the sprinkles on the acetate and attached the frame with foam strips to add dimension........that's it.

Cupcake Challenge this week is a 3 2 1 card. I used 3 pieces of cardstock, 2 embellishments (blutterflies), and 1 ribbon. They have such creative DT cards on their site....check it out. (Link on side)

High Hope Stamps challenge was to use hearts. I've got hearts on the paper....hearts on the butterflies....and heart shakers! So much fun.....I LOVE High Hopes Stamps.

My last three Christmas Cards

I hope you and your family had a great Christmas holiday, and I wish you love and happiness in the coming New Year!

These are the last 3 Christmas cards I made. Since they were for my family, I didn't post them or they would see them before Christmas. I used PPDU and a little Christmas Cheeri.

Sketch Saturday 29

Frantically trying to finish my Christmas cards. Great sketch at Sketch Saturday provided inspiration. Used Christmas cheer and some great new paper (can't remember the name) and metallic cardstock.

Ornaments

Received some new Scenic Route paper - Garland- and had to use it! Ornaments are Christmas Cheer- cut 3 times each - everything else is from the Scenic Route package. Cut the ornaments with gold metallic cardstock, olive and rose cardstock. Ornaments are Christmas Cheer.

A Spoon Full of Sugar #28 Thank You Snow Much

This week's challenge was to create a thank you card. I needed one anyway so this challenge was high on my priority list. I used some of that Snowy Day paper.....(my goal is a dozen cards from it by the end of the week). The stamp is a High Hopes design colored with watercolors and a little glitter. The snowglobe is from Christmas cheer with glitter and metallic pen. The mirrored snowflakes are Favorite Findings and I printed out the sentiment.

Santa Claus is Coming to Town

This card is for Sketch Saturday's Challenge #27. Great sketch....and great for patterned paper (which is my very favorite thing!)

Santa is from Christmas Cheer....cut 2 times at 3" and once on shadow. I added some "sparkle to his beard" Tag is from CC too.

Paper is DCWV and Brenda Walton for KI memories....silver metallic as well.

Stamp is doodlebug...Karen Foster brad....Wal-Mart ribbon.

I like the color combo on this card a lot!

Cute Card Thursday - Lilac Challenge

Cute Card Thursday had an open challenge to use lilac this week. I love the color! Since I need to make Christmas cards, this is the result. Used DCWV Christmas stack paper with some lilac, purple metallic, and grey metallic cardstock. The ribbon is from Wal-Mart (where else is there?), and the snowman is a die cut from Christmas Cheer. I stamped his face using Peachy Keen's winter assortment and his buttons are from a $1 assortment at Joann Fabrics. I used chalk and ink to finish him. The snowflakces are the MS punch, and pop dots were used behind the snowman and each snowflake.

Cupcake Craft Challenge #15 Make Your Season Bright

The challnge this week at Cupcake Crafts was to make a card with something sweet. I wanted to make a candy cane heart, and when searching through my paper, I found this bright pink/black candy cane pattern in the DCWV Christmas stack. I knew this was what to use when I found the little stamp with "Make Your Season Bright" on it. Candy canes are from Christmas Cheer (4" regular pink, 4" shift in white, 4" shadow in black) Then I cut a heart out of gun metal metallic cardstock to mount the candy canes on. Ribbon is from Wal-Mart.
