CCMC#87...Masculine Card

 

Hi everyone,

I have a simple masculine card to share with you for this week's Color Me challenge. 

My card:

 

 

I purchased the Mossy Meadow ink and card stock a couple of months ago, so happy I was able to finally use them!  This is not my original idea.  I was inspired by a greeting card I saw at a store.

Supplies:

Paper: Whisper White, Crumb Cake, Mossy Meadow (SU!); Stamps: Best Dad Ever (SU!); Ink: Mossy Meadow (SU!); Tools; Stamp-a-ma-jig, Other: Wiggle Eye, Billionaire Cricut Cartridge

Colour Me...Masculine Card

Hi friends,

 

I had some free time this afternoon to put together a CAS card for this week's Colour Me Challenge.  Soft Sky is one of my favorite colors, so I was eager to get started.

 

                                               

 

My card:

 

 

After making several Mother's Day cards, I decided to take a break and create something totally different, so I went with a masculine card.  I took out my Suburbia Cricut Cartridge, and cut out a tall, sleek guy, and dressed him up with a Soft Sky dress shirt.  

 

 

Card Recipe:

 

Stamps: SU! Best Dad Ever (retired)

Paper: Whisper White, Basic Black, Soft Sky

Ink: Basic Black

Accessories: Stamp-a-ma-jig, Suburbia Cricut Cartridge

 

Thanks for taking a peek,

FMS167 & CMCC51... Hanging Mittens

Hi everyone,

I am playing along today with this week's Freshly Made Sketches.  The colors I chose are this week's Colour Me combo.

 

 

My card:



 

 

I began with Whisper White card base, and the layers are Always Artichoke and White card stock.  Patterned paper are from my stash - always good to keep those little scraps of paper from other projects.  I created a wintery scene by hanging mittens over some branches, and added fun flock under the mittens to simulate snow.  It's a little bit hard to see on the picture though.  The die cut branches were created with the Memory Box Woodland Branch.  I printed off the digital images onto white cardstock, fussy cut and then colored them with Copic markers.  (sorry, I don't remember where I purchased the digi stamp).

CMCC... Christmas Card

Hi Friends,

 

**Please note that I did not turn on Word Verification.  For some odd reason, it will pop up when you leave a comment.  Some of my other blog friends have encountered the same problem**

 

Last week. I purchased some new stamps from my local craft store, and I just had to break them in.  I decided to create a card using the new palette from Colour Me Challenge - Night of Navy and Silver.  Such an elegant combo!

 

 

                                            

My card:

 

 

The card base is Whisper White, and the layers are Night of Navy and pretty patterned paper from DCWV The Twinkle Glints Paper Stack.  Not sure if you can see it, but the diagonal lines have a shiny silver to it.  My new stamp is from Hero Arts called Joy Burst, and was heat embossed in silver embossing powder.  I really like how the image stands out.  I hope you like it.

FMS143 & CMCC27 ... Make a Wish

Hi Everyone,

Happy 4th of July!  I'm sharing a card for this week's Colour Me & Freshly Made Sketches.

    
                  

I decided to go with a vintage look:

 

I will make this short and sweet, since I have family coming over today:

 

Stamps:  Inspired by Stamping Big Wishes

Paper: Whisper White, Blackberry Bliss, Patterned Paper from Little Yellow  Bicycle

Ink: Basic Black

Accessories: Rhinestones from Kaisercraft, taffeta ribbon, circle nesties, 1-3/4" scallop circle

 

For the flower, I cut out 5 scalloped circles.  I gathered all the circles and used a 1/16" punch to make a hole in the center.  I attached a brad in the middle and then layer by layer, scrunched up each circle.

FMS137 & Colour Me...Birthday Card

Hello Friends,

Just popping in very quickly to share a card I made last night.  The layout is one of the current Freshly Made Sketches and the color combo is from Colour Me,,,!




Here's my card:

 

The card base is Whisper White and Soft Sky.  The patterned paper is from my stash, which matches the color combo perfectly.  I then took some more Whisper White and card stock and added some texture with the Square Lattice embossing folder.  The cute little purses were die-cut from the Memory Box Terrific Tote Die, using card stock close to the Primrose Petals color.  I adhered a small flower to each purse using the Itty Bitty Shapes punch.  To jazz it up a bit, I adhered a dark chocolate pearl to each flower.  The sentiment is from Teeny Tiny Wishes, and was stamped in Early Espresso ink.  

I'm also sharing over at Seize the Birthday - Anything Goes.

CMCC#15.... Birthday Girl

Happy Friday,

Just popping in quickly to share a card I made using the color challenge over at Colour Me...

 

 

 

 

I wanted to create simple card, and I thought this color combo was a good fit.  My card base is Whisper White, and the patterned paper is from DSP Patterns Stack Bright Collection.  The cute purse was die-cut with the Memory Box Chic Bag, and I added a pretty flower using the Itty Bitty Shapes Punch.  The sentiment is from SU! Petite Pairs, and was stamped in Basic Black ink.  Something was missing, so I decided to add a small banner on the top left hand side of the card using MFT Mini Pennant Dies.  A trio of pearls on the banner and on the flower finishes off the details.

CMCC#14 & The Card Concept.... Butterfly

Hi Friends,

Today I have a spring-theme card to share with you.  My card was created using this week's Butterfly Theme from The Card Concept and Color Challenge from Colour Me.


 

My card:

 

 

Yes, another card using the Hardwood stamp from SU!  I LOVE this background stamp - the possibilities are endless.  I started out with some Kraft card base.  I stamped the Hardwood image on a Whisper White panel in Crumb Cake ink.  I creates a hole on the fence using the smallest spellbinder circle.  The delicate butterflies are from SU! Kindness Matters, and was stamped in Pumpkin Pie ink.  I then arranged them as if they were coming through the hole.  the sentiment is from SU! Elementary Elegance, and was stamped in Early Espresso ink.  I used my handy stamp-a-ma-jig to line up the sentiment perfectly.  Two orange rhinestones finishes off the details.

 

I'm not sure, but I think my card is Freestyle Collage..What do you think?

CMCC#12... Pretty Flowers

Happy Thursday!

Today, I am sharing a card I made using the color challenge over at Colour Me.

My card:

 

To make my card, I began with a Whisper White card base, and added layers of pretty patterned paper from my stash.  I used the Blossom Party Original die to create the flowers.  These were the only ones that would fit perfectly diagonally.  The sentiment is from SU! Petite Pairs, stamped in Early Espresso ink and die-cut with the circle nesties.  The image panel is matted on Pear Pizzazz card stock (it looks darker in the picture).  For some added details, I adhered 2 tiny pearls to the butterfly.
