 Another card from the China Cabinet kit. This time with red and blue colors. The edge of the card base was pink so I took one of my red copic markers and colored it red to match. I did the same edge of the sentiment. The butterfly has blue in the bottom of the wings but you can't see it in normal light, see picture #4.

A little light and you can see the blue!

*CRAFT - The Elf on the Shelf Birthday Edition

I made this birthday card for my son a couple weeks ago and totally forgot to enter and post it until now. The whole card is made with Anna Griffin products and primarily from the Salon Nouveau card making kit which I think is one of the best one she has come out with. It has a more modern genre to it where most of the others are more vintage/Victorian. The kit even comes with inside sentiment inserts that I decorated with vellum, a card topper, a rub on and a die cut.  

A card within a card.

      Inside              

This is one of Anna's foiled, vellum layers and a birthday card topper.

The pine cones are from Anna's Christmas Greenery rub ons, and the dog is a die cut from the Vintage Decopage Die Cuts. 

That's all for now, hope you enjoyed stoppin' by!

The Sisterhood of Crafters - Easter/Spring

I know it's past Easter, but I wanted to make one more card with the Heartfelt Creations Dogwood paper, stamps and dies. It's such a gorgeous collection for Easter.

The base card is 6 x 6", and pretty much everything but the butterfly and bow is from the Dogwood collection. I just got the Botanical Window die and also wanted to use it.

On a personal note, I would personally like to thank all the challengers who have stuck with it during these difficult times. I know of a few who have not and decided to close shop. I just wanted to say I appreciate all of you and thank you! And God bless you!

Hi there blogger friends! 

Long time no post!  I've kinda been in a card making funk lately with no desire to make anything.  It's been almost 4 months since I've made or posted any cards. I wanted to make a Valentine's and St Patrick's card but never got to it. But here's my 1st card since New Years with an Easter blessing.

The Sisterhood of Crafters - Easter/Spring (Won Top 3!)

I saw this sun rays embossing folder on a few cards and fell in love with it but couldn't find it anywhere because it's retired. So I decided to make my own. Cricut/Provo Craft put out a create an embossing folder kit quite awhile ago and I've had a couple sitting in my one of my craft drawers. So I pulled it out, followed the instructions and voila! 

It's actually a little more detailed than that 'cause you have to create an embossed impression on one side, and a debossed impression on the other and it took quite awhile, but anyway, it worked and there it is!

The stitched background and lattice dies are from Sue Wilson, the window is Crafter's Companion, the metallic paper, ribbon, butterfly, cross and flower stickers are from Michaels, and the inside senti background is from an Anna Griffin Sentiment Kit.

I wanted to make a New Years card and this is what I came up with. The black base is 5 x 7." I've had this fireworks, holographic, mirror paper from Paper Wishes for a little while now and thought what a perfect background for a New Year card! 

The lettering is Anna Griffin and the numbers are from Paper Discovery on Paper Wishes.

* - Sentiment is stamped

I found this ornament die on eBay and just fell in love with it, so pretty and ornate. Can't remember who it's by. I also saw a design like this on Pinterest and just had to try it 'cause I loved the colors. But I tell you what, trying to trace and cut out the different colors behind the different areas was not an easy task and it took me a good 4 hrs to finally get that done. 

I used green, blue and purple matte mirror paper, the green is Anna Griffin's and the blu and purple is from Crafter's Companion, as is the ornament's blue glitter paper and the front sentiment stamp.  You can't see it in the photos, but that top white paper is a fine white glitter paper too from Crafter's Companion.

The corner die came in a die set by Christina Griffiths called Lacy Circles. 

The inside ornament dies are Anna Griffin's Christmas Sentiments Dies.  

The card base is 6 x 6".
