Thanks

Last year I saw and liked the bag in this video and I finally got a chance to make one.  The Crafty Friends Challenge #4 is to make something other than a card.  The bag base is card stock from DCWV's the Christmas Stack collection.  I cut a diamond from some SU baja breeze cs and did some partial embossing on it using the Cuttlebug spots and dots folder to frame the sentiment.  I matted it onto a  piece of black cs also cut to a diamond shape for the focal image of the bag.  The handles are cut from some Michaels ribbon and the eyelets are by American crafts.  The sentiment is a die from the Cuttlebug Olivia font die set.  The to: and from: images I stamped onto the die cut Cuttlebug tag are from the Birthday4cookie stamp set by The Stamps of Life.  A few sheets of some tissue paper finishes off the bag. 

Take Two of These

I participated in a challenge on StampTV a few weeks ago to case a card by design team member Michelle Woerner but it also required you to change at least two things on your card.  I chose her white gardenias card.  I used images from the 100% Sweet stamp set by Gina K. Designs.  Images are colored using a blender pen and Stampin Up ink colors, tempting turquoise, lovely lilac and pixie pink.  I used a Nestabilities scallop square die to cut the matching Stampin Up card stock colors to mat each colored image.

Thinking of You

A photo is the inspiration for the current Crafty Friends Challenges #3.  This is the project I created, a card that measures 4 3/8 x 6 3/4.(I ended up with this odd size because I didn't like how the first card front panel looked so I had to cut it and redo (ever happen to you, LOL!).  Anyway, I like this outcome much better!

I used a Cuttlebug die for the black and white flowers.  I used a combination of Marvy Uchida daisy flower punch outs and a few sizes of another Cuttlebug flower die to make the orange flower.  I topped it with a rhinestone for a little bling.  Other Supplies:  ink - Distress Ink (Spiced Marmalade), StazOn (Jet Black), striped paper - from my stash, green pp - My Mind's Eye, brads - Recollections, greenery - SU Sizzlits little leaves die and DCWV textured cs, sentiment - Studio G stamp, circle panel - SU Sahara Sand cs, card base - GKD Soft Sand cs, ribbon - Joann's.

Let's Eat Cake

This is the card I made following the My Favorite Things' Wednesday sketch challenge #71.  The image and sentiment are from My Favorite Things' a la modes Time to Celebrate stamp set.  I water colored the image using Marvy LePlume II markers-numbers 1, 12, 30, 48, 52, 75, 80 and 85.  Other supplies:  patterned papers - My Mind's Eye, Papertrey Ink kraft cs, Prima flower, brad, ribbon, and rhinestones.

How Sweet

I made this card to participate in the My Favorite Things Wednesday sketch challenge #70.  The main image and sentiment are from My Favorite Things's How Sweet It Is stamp set.  I paper pieced the chair and foot rest using some My Mind's Eye patterned paper.  I used Prismacolor pencils to color in the rest of the image.  The sentiment is stamped in Stampin Up's pixie pink ink.  Other supplies:   PTI card stock, SU card stock, Prima Flower, Making Memories brad, Fiskars threading water border punch, rick rack ribbon.

Just Because

The JustRite Friday Challenge JRC_071, is a color challenge - Perfect Pastels.  Create a project using pink, yellow, peach and a neutral.  I embossed yellow card stock using the Cuttlebug Dvine swirl embossing folder for the background panel and adhered it to card front.  The oval frame image is from JustRite's The Greatest Joy Set and the sentiment is from JustRite's All Occasion Nested Sentiments set.  I cut the oval sentiment panel and the scalloped oval using Spellbinders dies.  The peach ribbon is a great recycled item I saved from a package.  I adhered two Prima flowers to frame the oval and I added pink rhinestones to their centers.
