Anything Goes with ODBD Stamps Challenge - ODBDSLC215

     Thanks so much for stopping in today! I love your visits and comments, as always.
      I created this card for the current challenge at Our Daily Bread Designs. For this challenge we can make any card we want that uses ODBD stamps.
     I began by making a 5" x 7" white card base. I diecut a shaped hole and heat-embossed the sentiment on the inside of the card so that it would show through the hole.
     I heat-embossed and diecut two snowflakes and added rhinestones to one snowflake. I adhered the two snowflakes together with foam tape. Then, I adhered the pair to my card as shown with foam tape. Here's a close-up of the snowflakes. 
     Here's a close-up of the sentiment inside the card. 
     ODBD stamps and dies I used today:
          Snowflake Sentiments #EC506
          Sparkling Snowflakes #EC508
          Snowflake Custom Die Template

     There is still plenty of time to join in the fun. Check out the details here: http://www.ourdailybreaddesignsblog.blogspot.com/2014/10/odbdslc215-anything-goes-with-our-daily.html

Our Daily Bread Sketch Challenge ODBDSLC199

  
     I created this card for the weekly challenge at Our Daily Bread Designs. This week we had to use a sketch to make our cards. I began by making the stamped background on white cardstock using Paper Inspirations Floral Flourish stamp and seafoam pigment from ColorBox. I matted each layer with seafoam cardstock from DCWV's Home Spun Stack, then stamped the sentiment using Our Daily Bread's Friendship stamp collection.
     Thanks so much for taking time to visit my blog. It means so much to me. If you want to play with us, there is still a little time left. The deadline is Sunday the 27th at 8pm EST. Here's a copy of the sketch and the address where you can get all the details about playing.

Tuesday Trigger - Pattern Play

        Hope you are having a good day while you are out and about on the web. I have a card for you today that I made for the Tuesday Trigger Challenge in the Moxie Fab World. 
      I love the inspiration photo (below) Cath provided this time. It's gorgeous! I was really drawn to the embroidered circles. And, those colors - so very Moxie! I picked out a light purple that matches one of the circles and the center teal-y blue to go with it. To give my circles some demension like in the photo, I made fan-fold flowers. Before folding the bigger purple flower, I ran a teal-y marker down the strip giving the look of embroidery. Oh, I should have made a wavy line! Wouldn't that have been so very Moxie!?! Too late now- maybe next time. To give some balance to the card, I ran one score line down the left side of the front. Then, I ran several scores, each one longer the the previous, down the right side of the card.
     I slipped a heart punched with Fiskars That's Amore punch under each flower letting it just peak out to begin the stems. I made the leaves with the same heart punch by snipping each heart in half. I stamped my Hero Art sentiment (CL342 )with ColorBox chalk in wisteria on a tag. I ran the edges of the tag across ColorBox chalk in arctic deep. I did not intend to make a tag but instead to stamp directly on the card, but I messed it up. I was so mad at myself! I was not about to start over so I added a tag. Looks okay, but would have been better without the mess up. I don't know why I am telling you all this.
     Thanks so much for stopping by! If you have an inspired idea after seeing the trigger photo, you can play along with us. Details are here:  http://www.moxiefabworld.com/2013/02/tuesday-trigger-pattern-play.html

DCWV January Card Sketch Challenge

     Thanks so much for stopping by! Hope you are having a great day.
      It's time for another Card Sketch Challenge at DCWV. I posted a copy of the inspiration sketch below. There is still about a week left before the deadline, so you have plenty of time to play. Jump in and have some fun with us. Here is my take on this month's challenge.
     I used DCWV's The Home Spun Cardstock Stack to make my card. I love the colors and textures that are in this stack- some are scored like the sheet I used on the front of my card. Some are shiny like the one I used for my card base, and some are glittery. I took a picture of my card at an angle so that you could see the score lines running through the cardstock. Isn't it wonderful cardstock? Sure makes it easier on me when it comes like this.
     I made the purple and creamy-yellow tags using Spellbinders Parisian Accents dies. The lattice as well as the flower punches are from EK Success. And, the Hello sentiment is from TPC Studio. I heat-embossed the Hello with ColorBox's boysenberry pigment and clear embossing powder. The boysenberry was a perfect match.
     Here's the address for the rules if you want to create with us: http://dcwvinc.blogspot.com/2013/01/january-stack-holic-template-challenge.html And, here's the sketch we have to work with for January.

Tuesday Trigger Val de Victorian Challenge

     Time for another Tuesday Trigger in the Moxie Fab World. I've been working on Christmas cards lately, so when I saw the inspiration (see it below) Cath provided us this time with the tall, skinny, pointy-roof houses all bunched up together I got an idea for this Christmas card.
     Using stamps from Fiskars' Seasons Greetings collection, I stamped 'MERRY' randomly on the blue background with VersaMark watermark ink. I heat-embossed 'Christmas' (from same collection) in white, matted it with white cardstock and adhered it to the card with foam tape. The trees are also heat-embossed using ColorBox's Cyan pigment and clear embossing powder. The trees are actually a varitey of upside down flags I stamped using Hero Arts Friendly Flags (CL475) collection. I attached the tallest tree using foam tape. 
     There is still time to join in on all the fun. Check out this inspiration image and click on the address for all the details. http://www.moxiefabworld.com/2012/10/tuesday-trigger-val-de-victorian.html

DCWV July Card Sketch Challenge

     I created this card for the Die Cuts With a View July Card-Sketch Challenge. I made the dusty pink card base from  DCWV's Le Tres Chic cardstock stack. I used the same cardstock for the sentiment panel and the butterflies. I heat-embossed the sentiment and panel. Even though the cardstock is textured, it took my stamping very well. And, I am really picky about my stamping. I like it very neat and sharp. All the patterned papers came from DCWV's The Heirloom stack. Erin at DCWV has some great tips for cutting the angled strips. Check it out here: http://dcwvinc.blogspot.com/2012/07/july-stack-holic-challenge.html You will also find info there for the challenge if you want to join in on all the fun. There is still plenty of time.     
  This is the sketch we had to work with this month. I like this sketch so much that I think I will use it as a guideline to make a scrapbook layout. Wouldn't it be pretty!
