Chocolate

 

I am playing with the Stamp of the Month for Close to My Heart for August. It is all about chocolate. I created a quick card using the die cut card base and some hearts and banner that were cut using the Artise cartridge for Cricut. If interested, just hit shop button at side of my blog. Only couple more days to get this set.  For Chocolate, Coffee & Cards challenge of Sweet Treats.

Be Silly

Ok, I wanted to make a quick card since I haven't crafted in awhile. I used scraps to create this card This saying is part of a new set that is coming out in Sept from Close to My heart. The buttons are from CTMH too. If interested, in planning a online party or individual just let me know or use the shop button.

Back to School

Welcome to Melonheadz challenge this challenge is Back to School.  I choose to make a sign that I put magnets on back. The sign is something I picked up at Micheals than painted. My daughter's favorite color is blue so used some Viva decor blue paint. I love this Back to school bundle. I colored the books and sign with my markers. The little items around the sign are acorns from my yard. The numbers were cut with my Silhouette.

Inspired Stamps

This week Inspired Stamps DT was to create a card featuring a Scripture verse. I choose James 1:7. I have lots to be thankful this month. I can see God's hand in it all.

Appreciated

Unity is having a FB challenge of using your Itty Bitty stamps. These two stamps were part of a grab bag that I got. I used some Washi tape to add just a touch of belittlement. I am not sure of this CAS but decided to go with it.

Stars

Ok, this card is kind of different for me. I tried to do more of a distressed feel. The blue one has paint than embossed than inked. The die cut was colored with Distress ink. My embellishments are buttons and Candi dots. The saying is from Unity. The colors were chosen to follow Unity's color challenge.

Inspired Stamps

This week we were asked to create a set of cards using one Scripture verse. I choose 1Thessolians 5:16-18. I used a simple color scheme and used different dies to change the look and different placement of the ribbon. The bottom card has washi tape.

Yellow Bird

This image is one that I colored awhile back. I found these Stampin Up Stickers from a kit and decided to use them on this card. Liquid Pearls is on the scallop. I just love this verse.

Beach Owl

This is a image is from Kaboodle Bug Designs. I finally figured out how to do the cut and print on my Silhouette. I added glossy accents to his eyes and distress stickles to the sand. I inked the ball to give it dimension. It fits Cut it Up challenge of summer. The second challenge is Parade your Crafts with a Summer theme. I love nothing better in summer than spending time at the beach.

Flowers, Flowers, Flowers

Welcome to Melonheadz challenge. The challenge is to use lots of flowers. I used two different sets. My time is short so I used the colored version of both sets. Valentine's Day 2013 bundle & Mikella's deluxe embellies bundle are the two bundles I used. I think this would be perfect to cheer up some one.

Cute Kitty

I created this for SCS Fan Club challenge. If you are not a member, it is worth it and fun. The hearts have glossy accents on them.

Merry & Bright

 

I was playing with new dies. Sweet n Sassy came out with dies that match this stamp set. I tried a vintage look for this card.

Big Hugs

 

I used Unity sketch for this card. I wanted to try something different for me.  I love bright colors but wanted to try a Black and White card. I used Washi tape for the background. This is a wonderful new set from Unity called time for Bear (hugs).

Faith

This is another new stamp from Inspired Stamps. I used Washi tape on the sides and ribbon behind the Scripture. Perfect pearls was used on the oval. This card features Hebrews11:6.
