Go Cubbies!

Hi, everyone! This week's Color Challenge over at Splitcoast is to use Red, White, and Blue with the dessert option of 'anything goes'....I choose 'stars'.  My co-worker loves the Chicago Cubs, so I created this for his birthday. All of the dies I used are from Divinity Designs LLC: Double Stitched Pennant Flags (Resized), Double Stitched Rectangles, Circles, Letter Board, Alphabet Caps, and Sparkling Stars.  The white panel is embossed with tiny stars. The red strip is Real Red ribbon.

A Light for My Path

Hi, everyone! This week's Ways To Use It Challenge theme over at Splitcoast is 'Lights'. I needed a couple of masculine birthday cards, so I made them the same but with different colors.  The lanterns were cut out first, then placed in my MISTI over the white panel to find the correct placement for the scripture verse.  Once the panels were stamped, they were put back into the Pierced Rectangles Die and colored with Blending Brushes.  The flames were sponged using stencils created with the lantern die set. Here are the items from Divinity Designs LLC used for these cards: 'My Light' stamp set, Blending Brushes, Pierced Rectangles Dies, Matting Rectangle Die, A2 Portrait Card Base with Layer Die, and the Shining Light Lantern Die Set.

Fall Birthday

Hi, everyone! This week's Ways To Use It Challenge theme over at Splitcoast is 'Fall Leaves'. My Mother-In-Law requested that her birthday card had fall colors and falling leaves, so I used another pattern from the Stained Glass Pumpkins Square Card Fronts paper pack from Divinity Designs LLC. I used Rose Gold and Light Blue Foil Cardstock to soften up the dark colors in the image panel. This was a very simple design....a few die cuts, some Foam Mounting Tape, and it was finished! The dies used are: Ornamental Square Die Set, Square Card Base with Layer, and Happy Birthday and Layers.

The Good Book

Hi, everyone! This week's Ways To Use It Challenge theme over at Splitcoast is 'Book Club'....anything book related. When I create cards for my family, I always ask if they have a request for theme, colors, etc. My brother-in-law is a pastor; he immediately asked for a 'King James Bible' card.  I dug through some old tax boxes to find a yearly planner book and tore off the cover since it had the perfect texture to look like a Bible cover!  The rectangles and cross dies are from Divinity Designs LLC and the letter dies are from Top Dog Dies.  The tassel was made from gold cording....it matches the gold foil cardstock  in the real, but not in the photo, unfortunately. On the inside a scripture verse stamp and birthday greeting were used.

Hi, everyone! This week's Color Challenge over at Splitcoast was perfect for creating a birthday card for my niece. The stamps and dies are from My Favorite Things. The image was colored with markers and then highlighted with a glitter pen, though the glitter did not show up in the photos. I used thin foam tape and sequin stickers so that it wouldn't cost more to mail.
