Joy Fold Challenge




Cindy has a great challenge at Come and Get It Challenges this week, a Joy Fold card.  I had fun making my card.  I altered a pattern I found on Pinterest and added my own twist.  

To make my card I used several die cuts from several different companies, Mind's Eye pattern paper and a sentiment rubber stamp by All Night Media. 
I sprayed my tattered flower and leaves with a Pearl Glaze to give them body and a shine.  I added some faux stitches around the edge of the card for more interest and a button and brad to complete the card.

Hope you will join us this week for this Joy Fold Challenge at Come and Get It. Have a creative day.

Lacey Christmas Tree


Paige, one of the Holly Jolly elves challenged us to a card with a metallic theme at Holly Jolly Christmas Challenges this week. I chose to do a card in teal and gold for this challenge.  I used three different Memory Box die cuts to create the card and layered them on a cream and gold Christmas patterned paper.  

The Merry Christmas sentiment that I added is by Arty Pants Digital Stamps.  To complete the festive card I mounted my card front on to a gold metallic card stock and added some gold bling.  I think I met Paige's challenge of a metallic card.  Come join us at Holly Jolly, create your card and enter it here.

Snip and Tuck


At Joyful Stampers it is Inspire me Fridays (#62), anything goes. I made this butterfly card for this challenge.

I found this neat pattern on the web site Robins Craftroom called Snip and Tuck. With the Snip and Tuck you HAVE to see how it works in order to get the card open! You can find the directions to make the card here.

Once I had the pattern for the card made I added a die cuts wreath and butterfly, ribbon, bling and a pretty soft yellow bow to complete the card. I love the dainty colours of the pattern paper and the bow.

Thanks for stopping by and have a great day.
