Christmas card/MMSC17

Here is the card I made for Midnight Madness sketch challenge
I didn’t use any stamps for this card, it is all (except the cs base and red brads) from a kit I purchased from a catalog.
I added the red brads from my stash.

I just didnt add the the ribbon on the sides.
Midnight Madness has some really great sketches and there are always a lot of people playing. I enjoy looking through everyone’s creations.

2RedBananas Stripes & Dots challenge

2Redbananas challenge this week is Stripes & Dots.

I made this card originally for the CDS Sept Guest Designer spot and liked the way it turned out.

I didnt win so thought it would be ok to repost it for this challenge since it fits pretty well.

The gumball machine is from CDS. The paper is My Mind's Eye Dreamy 2 (the pink striped paper) & Sassfrass Tutti Frutti (the circle paper). The Tutti Frutti paper reminded me of gumballs.
I stamped my image on white cs and cut it out and adhered it to pink cs that was cut using my octogan nestie. I colored it with Zig markers and added some small gems to make the gumballs standout. I added some of the gems on the bottom of the image cuz we all remember dropping some of our gumballs when trying to remove them from the machine:)

I added 3d lacquer to the globe. The yellow ribbon and oval gem came from The Dollar Tree

Father's Bday Card

I made this card for my father's bday coming up this month.
The stamp set is CDS Watermill.
I colored it with copics, sponged the sky with chalk.
I stamped the wheel twice and cut it out and pieced with a brown brad.
I added silver jellyroll glitter to the water.
The paper is from Crate Paper called Tulip , I thought the red textured paper looked like the side of an old barn.
The ribbon is from The Dollar Tree and I attached my stamped image to the red paper with small metallic brads also from CDS.
My Parents live in TN and there is still an old Mill standing and this stamp reminded me of that.
I thought my dad would like this.

Little Birdie/CDSWCC35

Here is my card for the CDS Color Challenge at PaperCraft Planet.

Shawne is hosting and the colors that she chose are:

Rose RedSo Saffron (medium muted yellow)A Green that is a cross between Old Olive and Kiwi Kiss neutral: white or vanilla

I had this cute paper from Memory box called Butterfield and I thought it would go great with the August SOM Blown Over. I created a folded card out of white cs, kinda like a stair card but I turned it vertical.

I stamped and colored the bird house with a Zig marker in rose and then cut it out. The little bird I colored yellow and adhered to the birdhouse. I added yellow ribbon to the side.

2RedBananas Rub A Dub Dub Challenge

I made this card for 2RedBananas Rub a Dub Dub Challenge.

I used rub-ons that I purchased from Oriental Trading quite some time ago. I purchased them to be able to make cards when I was in hurry.

This pack has all sorts of purple, blue and green flowers & vines I just love it

CDSWCC34/Thinking of You

My card for the CDS color challenge at Paper Craft Planet.

The colors are: Not Quite Navy (dark navy blue)More Mustard (mustard yellow)Basic Gray (dark gray)optional: Baja Breeze (light blue)neutral: white or vanilla.

I used Dk gray for my base, solid navy for the center, more mustard for the container of flowers and light blue for the sentiment.

The image is CDS Everyday Jar-gone. I stamped the container on mustard paper added some larger beads to bottom to dress it up. The flowers I cut the stems and just added them to container. I used stickles for the flower centers, colored the flowers with pure pink and pure yellow Zig Markers.

my senitment is stamped on a circle that I folded in half. I used the navy cs and folded two corners over and adhered my container to it. This way to fold a card makes a great way to give the gift of money. Just slide it in the opening.

CDSGDC0909/Clear Dollar Stamps Guest Designer Challenge

It is time for Clear Dollar Stamps monthly Guest Designer Challenge.

I enter every month, even though my cards pale in comparison to the other talented ladies who enter. One day you never know and it is fun regardless!

The challenge this month was a sketch, color or both.

I went with the sketch because I just recieved my order from the Grand Opening new stamps and wanted to use the gumball machine. I had two papers that I thought were perfect.

My Mind's Eye Dreamy 2 (the pink striped paper) & Sassfrass Tutti Frutti (the circle paper). The Tutti Frutti paper reminded me of gumballs.

I stamped my image on white cs and cut it out and adhered it to pink cs that was cut using my octogan nestie. I colored it with Zig markers and added some small gems to make the gumballs standout.

I also used 3-D lacquer on the front to make it look like the glass ball the gumballs are in and of course you remember getting gumballs out of the machine and dropping at least one.

I used yellow ribbon and the oval gem came from The Dollar Tree.
