Hello Stampers!  I'm here to share with you a card that I made using 2 challenges.  The first is the Free 4 All Challenge on Splitcoaststampers: Clean and Simple Christmas Card, and I used the sketch from Freshly Made Sketches as a template for my CAS Christmas Card.  

For my card I started by creating the gnome driving the car.  This process took awhile, there are a lot of details to this die cut.  From there I decided the line under the circle would be another die cut.  So I die cut that and then decided to emboss the focal panel, and layer it with matte silver cardstock.  For the inside I heat embossed a sentiment and layered it.  So this is defiantly a CAS card, but a time consuming one!!  LOL!!

Thanks for stopping by!!

Stamps: Stampin' Up Good Greetings, Taylored Expressions Simply Said Halloween

Paper: Gina K white, black onyx, and kraft, patterned paper from my stash

Ink: Memento Tuxedo Black

Accessories: Stampin' Up Stylish Shapes Dies, Memory Box Ghost Trio Dies

Hello Stampers!  I made this Halloween card for a couple of challenges.  The first one is the Clean and Simple Challenge on Splitcoaststampers: Halloween.  And the Freshly Made Sketches sketch of the week.

For my card I started by die cutting the ghosts and adding some black paper behind the eyes and mouth.  Then I found some patterned paper to use for the layer on the right and matted it with black cardstock.  I decided to make the card panel kraft so there would be contrast against the white ghosts.  I adhered the right strip to the kraft cardstock and then adhered my ghosts.  For the sentiment I stamped, die cut, and popped up the sentiment on the card.  To finish the front I just had to adhere the kraft layer to the white card base.  For the inside I added some die cut ghosts and added a sentiment.  

Thanks so much for stopping by!!

Hello Stampers! I am sharing a card I made for the Clean and Simple Challenge on Splitcoaststampers: Butterflies or Moths.  For my card I decided to use my Butterfly Swirls Better Press plate.  I selected three inks and inked up the butterflies, and I ran it through my die cut machine.  I trimmed the focal panel so there was a border around it when I adhered it to my card base.  I had ran a bunch of the sentiment strips through the Better Press, so I could just pick one and use it on my card.  For the inside I stamped and die cut the sentiment and added a couple of butterflies.  Well that's all for now, back to work tomorrow!  Ugh.

Thanks for stopping by!

Hello Stampers!  It is Featured Stamper Sunday on Splitcoaststampers!  Today's Featured Stamper is Annette and this is the card that I CASED.

I was fascinated by the ribbon wreath on Annette's card, and saw that she included a video tutorial on it.  I had to try it.  I tried it with a couple of different ribbons, but the grosgrain was definitely the easiest for this ribbon treatment.   I added some red gems and a red bow to the wreath.  Now that the wreath was ready I had to decide what a was going to do for the card base.  I went with a cherry cobbler card base and die cut the quilted die in white.  I adhered the ribbon wreath with dimensionals.  I stamped and die cut the sentiment and adhered that with dimensionals also.  For the inside I die cut a wreath and bow and stamped a sentiment in the center.  

This was a fun card to make, thanks for stopping by!!

Hello Stampers!!  I made it through the first three days of school.  Needless to say I am beat, and was grateful for some time this afternoon to get back into my craft room.  I made this card for two challenges:  Free 4 All: Fiber Friendly on Splitcoaststampers and Freshly Made Sketches.

To start my card I die cut and assembled the Jack O Lantern.  Isn't that Jack O Lantern the best?!  I knew I had to have it when I saw it released.  It is kinda big, but I think it worked out well with this sketch.  Then I had to decide what background I wanted.  I was just going to use Speckled Egg, but when I blended it out I didn't like it.  So I went over to Pinterest and found the blend Walnut Stain, Shabby Shutters, and Speckled Egg and gave that a try.  I liked it much better.  So next I matted the blended piece in black and adhered the Jack O lantern.  It needed a little somethin' somethin'.  I found a grass die and added to the focal panel.  The Edison die comes with such cool clouds and I wanted to incorporate them into my card also.  So I die cut a gray and a white one and adhered them to the focal panel.  Before I adhered the focal panel to the card base I wrapped some twine around the bottom portion to add that layer for the sketch.  For the inside I stamped the sentiment and added some clouds and another Jack O lantern with some smaller grass.  

I am almost done with my Halloween cards!! Yay!

I was the Queen of Clean!! Yay!

Thanks so much for stopping by!!
