All About the Night


The challenge this week at My Sheri Crafts is "all about the night".  I decided to use this rubber stamp from my collection who the artist name of this this unmounted stamp escapes me for this moment.   I think this stamp theme fits in quite well with the challenge theme.

The card was coloured with Copic Markers and a glitter pen.  The image was cut out with a Nestablities die, layered on top of a fancy cut die and purple glitter paper. The last step was to add some gold glittered stars and a twisted piece of paper cord to finish the card.
Thank you for stopping by today and have a creative day.

Snowy Christmas


I made this card for a friend for Christmas, it was inspired by a card that I saw on Pinterest. I used many products to create my card.

The tree is a die cut by Tim Holts cut out of glossy card stock and with Stazon Ink The snow was added snow with Snow Writer and a little bit of glitter.

I used several different Spellbinder Nestabilities dies for the background along with embossing the cuts with an embossing folder. I stamped in the background with a small snow flake stamp and embossed the snowflakes with silver embossing powder. 

To complete the card I added a cross, Arty Pants sentiment, Martha Stewart Snowflake punch and bling. 

Hope my friend enjoys the card.  Thank you for stopping by today and have a creative week.

White on White



Come and Get it Challenge this week is a white on white colour theme and I chose to use a layering effect with 5 different textures of white paper. The card base is a ribbed textured card stock and the bottom layer is a smooth white paper that I embossed with a Cuttlebug embossing folder.

The second layer is a glossy paper cut with a Spellbinder Nestabilities die cutter and the next layer is  a piece of white vellum also cut with a Spellbinder Nestabilities die cutter.

The last layer of white paper was cut and embossed using my new Cuttlebug embossing folder, Carly and then inked and and stamped with the "dream" stamp by Inkadinkado. To complete the card I used some white pearl bling and Organza ribbon.

I think the white on white effect is very pretty and would make a nice card for a wedding or maybe a baby showers. I wonder what interesting challenge will be next week at Come and Get Challenges. Come join in

Have a creative day.

Merry Little Christmas Tree - Come and Get it Challenges


It is anything goes at Come and Get it Challenges. This pretty little digi is by Polycraft and her name is Cherry Kisses. I decided for this challenge is to make another easel card and this time I used of the Spellbinders Nestabilities Dies for the shape of the card. I added glitter to make it look like she was standing in snow and hide a button in the glitter to enable Cherry Kisses to be able to stand.

Well back to my craft room to clean up my mess. Thanks for stopping by.
