Inspiration Challenge 161

Hi, Here is my card for the Inspiration Challenge. What fun cakes we had to choose from for our creations today. This one is called Warning Signs. Instead of doing triangle which I do not like to do, I went with the Labels 2 nesties. I used the colors, Real Red, Pumpkin Pie, Barely Banana and Pacific Blue. The exclamation pint is from the retired Brushstroke Alphabet and it is embossed in black. I then traced around the edges with a black Bic marker. I stamped the sentiment in Basic Black.
This card is the Cuppy Cake one. I thought it was just adorable. I used the Inkidinkado cupcake set. I stamped each cupcake in black, colored in the tops with my Copics. I used the 1/1 inch circle punch for the cherries in Real Red cs and the stems are small pieces of black cs cut very thin and I wrapped them around my finger to get them to curl. I used the word window punch for the base and each cupcake is on a dimensional. I stamped the sentiment is Orchid Opulence.

Color Challenge 199

Hi! Here is my card for today's Color Challenge to use Bravo Burgundy, Handsome Hunter and So Saffron. Love these classic colors together. I kind of went for a vintage Valentine card, I am not sure if I achieved it! The image is Bo Ho Blossoms from MFT. I stamped the heart in BB and the other image in SS. I cut the image out and used dimensionals to adhere to the nesties. I then place a button in the center of the heart with a pop dot. The sentiment is stamped in BB and punched out with the word window punch and adhered with pop dots. The dp is all Basic Gray scraps that I had laying around. I made a BAB for the top right corner and I found these clips at the $1.99 spot at Achiever's. The ribbon is Making Memories.
This is just a side view of the card so you could see the dimension.
Thanks for stopping by!!

TLC 201 Fun Funky Fold

Hi,
Here is my card for today's challenge for the Fun Funky Fold. I guess I made it right! It was so easy and fun to make. I made the fold from Basic Gray Archaic dp. I punched a scallop circle from my Marvy punch in Baroque Burgundy and another small circle in brown. I ran both through the cuttlebug distressed embossing folder. I stamped the alligator in Always Artichoke, cut it out and adhered with a large pop dot. The balloons where stamped in the same colors, cut out and up on pop dots. The birthday hat was colored in with SU! markers, cut out and up on a dimensional. The hemp for the balloons are adhered with small pop dots under neath the balloons and again at the mouth. I attached a coordinating brad, stamped the sentiment, punched it out with the word window punch and attached with pop dots. The main image panel is attached onto a slight larger piece of Baroque Burgundy with dimensionals which is also embossed with the distressed folder.The hemp string is wrapped around the card from the back of the fold. I punched two slots on each side and pulled the string through. I left enough slack so when it is opened, it can open all the way.

Thanks for stopping by! Have a great week and Happy New Year!!

Featured Stamper 99 and OCCC


Hi!
I made this for two challenges today, The first is for the FS over on SCS Stampfilled Dreams. She has a terrific gallery. This is the card I chose for today: Bootiful Dresses
I loved the simple layout and the girly theme. We are to change at least two things on the card for the challenge. Mine are: I used dp, made an acetate card, colors and layers. The dp is Urban Prairie from Basic Gray, the cs is Kiwi Kiss and Pink Pirouette. I stamped the image in BB and colored it in with my new Copic markers, I added crystal effects to the two hearts and sprinkled dazzling diamond on top of that. I just love these bow and that is one reason I picked this card. I made the bow from the PP ribbon and added a pearl accent. I then paper pierced the top to simulate the swiss dots on the original card. The second challenge is on Our Creative Corner in which we were to use something clear on our cards. I was so excited this morning when I checked this blog to find out that I was the winner of the Lovey Dovey Challenge!! I have not won anything on any of the blog challenges yet, so I was just thrilled! So thank you ladies for choosing my card as the winner!! I made this card with acetate, my first too! This card will be for my good friends' daughter whose birthday is coming up in January, She is the best princess that I know!!
Thanks for stopping by!
