Crafty secrets Christmas in July

Come and join in the fun on SCS, Crafty Secrets Christmas in July challenge is going on this week.  I used one of their Christmas scraps and sayings. Peel off mother of pearl holographic holly leaf borders, some snowflakes and the cuttlebug background on the Co-ordinations paper with a little sanding. 

Our daily bread challenge 22 Distress it

Our challenge this week is to distress it. I used one of the new cuttlebug folders, thanks Sandy W, Tim Holtz distress inks and Our daily bread design stamps. Added some bling to finish it.

Midnight madness challenge 64 and Flourishes Timeless Tuesday 77

This is for the Midnight Madness Challenge this week and the Flourishes Timeless Tuesday challenge.  This new berry set is from Flourishes, I used pearl pins on the ribbon pieces, some peel off flowers and butterfly. 

85th Birthday card

This card is for a friend's 85th birthday next month. I'm also using this for a couple of the Dare to Get Dirty challenges on Split Coast today.  This is a bookatrix from The Glitter Girls in the UK. They are plastic boards with lots of shapes that you emboss and cut out.  Lots of holographic peel off borders, little prima flowers and butterfly, ribbon and embossed border is from Martha Stewart. 

Some of my cards for the Dirty Girl Challenges on Split Coast

These are a few of the cards I made for some of the challenges on Split Coast this week.

Stamping in Time with Our daily Bread

Our challenge today at Our Daily Bread Design was to use Piercing or Faux Piercing, since I don't do that I used the Faux piercing. My MS punch on the corners and I covered it with tiny dots from some peel off borders and used them on the top corner as well.  The beautiful Fushia image and frame are from ODBD and the pretty saying is from Flourishes.  Butterfly is a MS punch and some pearls finish this off.

Cuttlebug and new folders

I saw this card on the cuttlebug challenge, they used it for a Christmas card, well it's way too hot for that here so I made it into the Birthday card.  I used the newest embossing plus folders and some Bazzill bling paper, some DP and some peel off's and the flowers on the inside are iron ons from Walmart and I just used glue dots to adhere them. 

Split Coast challenge 290

This is the sketch layout today on Split Coast stampers.  I used some DP with the MS around the card punch and her butterfly punch.

Dare to get dirty challenge is on!

I have been entering some challenges over on Splitcoast and stamping quite a bit. 

Flourishes timeless tuesday July 20

Flourishes blog has a Timeless Tuesday challenge going on today.  Here is my take on the flowers. I used a Tri Shutter card, flower and saying from Flourishes.  DP is from Memories. Check out the DT's cards over there and join in the fun!!!

MMSC63 on Priscilla's midnight madness

This pretty card is for Priscilla's midnight madness blog challenge. I kept this very simple so the DP from Memories is the focal point.  Butterfly is a peel off from Michaels and the tiny roses are from prima. The image is a holographic one I got at a convention.  Hop over to Priscilla's blog and see all the gorgeous cards.

Our daily bread challenge 21

I'm using this for two challenges today. Our daily bread challenge was to color an image, I used copics and cropped it to fit into this frame by cuttlebug.  Martha Stewart punch for the butterfly.  The challenge on Dare to get dirty was to ok to use a punch or die but no DP or ribbon.  Wow that was the hard, LOL  Did you know that if you pay about $25 per year to split coast you get to see a lot more cards and inspiration!!!! It's worth it!!

Crafty secrets challenge 128 Things with wings

Our challenge today was things with wings.  I used two of the darling pieces from Birds and blossoms scraps that are now double sided. Check them out!!!     I love the gorgeous images from Crafty secrets, they are so versatile.  I used cuttlebug background and some new glittery pieces I found CHEAP at Walmart.

Midnight madness challenge 62

This fantastic sketch is for Priscilla's midnight madness challenge. Each week they give us a fantstic sketch to follow and I love it!!
I used elements by Stampin up for this beautiful rose bouquet and colored them with copic markers. I cut some DP and soft yellow and trimmed them with a gold pen.  The flowers are Prima and some ribbon.  Be sure to check out the DT's cards on Priscilla's blog they are always amazing!! I won the remarkable award for last weeks card as well.

Some weekend stamping with new stamps

These cards are both made with Our daily bread designs stamps.  I love their stamps! 

Our daily bread challenge 20

Our daily bread challenge today was this sketch layout.  I used their stamps with some Cappella paper and ribbon.  The flourish I think came from our local stamp store. 

Our daily bread design Christmas in July

I always laugh when I think of Christmas in July. I spent about a year on the island of Guam when my DH was in the Navy. Now I'm not Catholic but was married to one the first time and they have this thing about purgatory.  I tell everyone, I've got that covered with that year in Guam, horrible heat and humidity and 3 typhoons and 3 earthquakes. LOL  This card is for the challenge on Our daily bread designs blog to do a Christmas card. I used the Stamp TV idea of embossing in clear and using disressed inks to color. 

Happy 90th Birthday

I love this card, it's for a friend's 90th birthday later this month.  I used my embossing board from The Glitter Girls for the center gold mirror card diamond.  The Martha Stewart punches and borders and some silk ribbon. 

A weekend of stamping

My main TV remotes are on the fritz so I had to watch TV from my dinning room table which is also my stamping area. I made good use of the time here this weekend and made several cards. The first three are using Flourish stamps and the last one is from Crafty secrets. I used copics to color and lots of bling.

Midnight madness challenge 61

This is the sketch layout over at Priscila's blog. I used a stamp from Flourishes and papers are from Memory box. Added some bling and colored with copics.

Monday's stamping

This cute little Sarah Kay image is all done in teals and turquoise. I used a pretty plaid background page from the Linen closet by DCW papers. Just added some embellishments to finish her.

Another Crafty secrets Red, white and blue with a twist

I used another Webster paper that I thought was perfect for this Crafty Secrets image. I added some spica pens to the cherries and leaves for glitter.
