Midnight challenge #12 a Thank you

I made this thank you card today and used the challenge sketch from Midnight madness. This was a fun challenge and lots of bling!!

Midnight madness challenge 11

This card was made for week of 11 of the Midnight madness challenge. I used one of the spellbinders impressabilities with the stampin up top note die and then nestabilities for the saying and the embellishment at the top. EK sucess border punch for the bottom. Here are the details for the Midnight challenge. I just added this blog to my list, this is where I got the idea for the layers on this card. Stop by and check out Grace's blog. Thanks for stopping by I really appreciate it.

Kaleidoscope pendant and border

I played with my new Kaleidoscope pendant and border yesterday. These new nestabilitiels and borders are wonderful but a bit more of a challenge to get cut out. You need to run them thru more than once and be very patient when getting them out of the dies. Thanks for stopping by and have a wonderful weekend.

Flower soft

Both of these cards are toppers from Flower soft and you just add the flower soft over the printed flowers. Very easy and fun cards to make, I used some golden shimmerz on them also. You can get the flower soft at Flourishes and the toppers and flower soft from Flower soft I had a couple of gals here today that are from my home town and we actually met in FL at the Flourish get away last winter. It was so much fun to have them come and play.

This card was done for our Stampscapes II group, I stamped it in Versamark Dazzel Frost ink pad. Then I brayered over it.

This card was made for a friend, I used Me and Carrie Lou stamps and cut out the flowers.

This butterfly is a Me and Carrie Lou stamp with design paper behind it.

A couple of new cards

This card was made using the Sutter floral frame and cut out using the Stampin up top note die and then I placed the lady from Beeswax inside. I just embellished it with some prima flowers and leaves and a M.S border punch from Michaels.

This little girl is from Whiff of Joy I think, my friend had her for us to try last week at our get together and I used a Nestability and the Stampin up top note die to cut out. Just some little flowers to cover my slip with the gold pen, LOL and a bow, used the new EK tiny corner punch and background paper is K&CO. So glad you stopped by and thank you so much for all the nice comments that you leave for me. They are greatly appreciated.

More scenes

Just a few more scenes I did this week with friends. Thanks so much for stopping by and I hope you enjoyed the scenery!!

A few scenes from this weeks stamping

All of these scenes were done with my scenic group of friends this week, we had a wonderful week of stamping, eating, laughing and learning from each other. Thanks so much gals for coming to my town and joining in the fun.

Stamping get together

We are having a wonderful time stamping in IL. Several friends from my Sutter and Stampscapes II group are visiting and we are scenic stamping for about 3 days and nights. This was taken at our motorcycle shop and restaurant in our town called Poopy's. Fun place with great food. I will have a great scenes to share later this week.

New Spellbinder Nestabilities

This is the new Renaissance hearts pendants from Spellbinders. It is really a gorgeous die but very much a challenge to use. After many bad words I finally emailed them for help as it wouldn't cut thru most of the papers I tried and they told me to run it thru the machine at least 3 times. I ran this thru 4 times and flipped the sandwich after the second time. It is gorgeous and very much worth the hassel but just be prepared. I used basic gray papers behind it.

Midnight challenge #9

This card was made for the Midnight challenge on this blog, check out the gorgeous cards on there. It was fun and easy to do. Thanks for stopping by.

Buttons and bow challenge

I made this card for a buttons and bow challenge on the Next Level. I used the new Renasissance Hearts Nestabilities and border. I need to get some of the flower nesties to make this work better but that's on my wish list. Hope you enjoy the card. Thanks for stopping by

Cuttlebug quilt squares

This is a cuttlebug quilt card, I just made pieces with the cuttlebug folders and cut and placed them on a square card. I used white and gold peel offs between the squares and for the sentiment. M.S. butterfly punch. This was a fun challenge and easy card to make.

Basket of flowers decoupage

I used a decoupage sheet to cut out and layer this basket of flowers. EK corners and pearls. Enjoy!!

Helen's wedding card

I made this card for a friend's wedding in UK several weeks ago but couldn't post it until she received and opened all of her cards from our group. I used the keepsake embossing board Bookatrix from The Glitter Girls to emboss and cut out the book. The bride is from Flourishes and the carriage is from Me and Carrie Lou with flower soft around it. The bird is a M.S. punch and the rest are peel offs. I sprayed the background with my copic markers and air brush system. The dress is some neat paper I found that has gold dots on it and I raised it up. Thanks for stopping by.

New Gina Kay stamp

This is the new stamp from Gina Kay designs, it's so pretty and fun to work with. The background stamp comes with several sayings to fit into the center. I embossed in gold and used H2O's to color the flowers. Thanks for stopping by.

One more tri fold shutter

I just couldn't resist trying this card one more time using some gorgeous holographic floral papers from The Glitter Girls. I love thier fancy papers and of course they don't show well here but they are so pretty. The link for this technique is on the next picture down. Please try this and have fun with it.

Tri fold shutter card

After seeing this type of card on this site I had to try it. They are so much fun and really not hard to do it. Lots of cuttng but not difficult. All of the directions are there for you and a link to Split coast stamper where there are about 15 pages of tri shutter cards to view. This scene was made wtih Stampscapes stamps and colored and airbrushed with Copic makers on cryogen white paper. Thanks so much for stopping by, hope you try this card.
