The Paper Players: White on White & 52CCT

Happy Sunday!

I took some time out of my Sunday afternoon to make a card.  The Paper Players Challenge has an elegant color theme - White on White or Vanilla, plus a neutral or metallic sentiment:

 Over at 52 {Christmas} Card Throwdown Challenge, we were asked to choose any past 2013 Challenge.  I chose Theme #1: Christmas Flowers:


My card:

My card literally took about 15 minutes.  I wish all of my cards were that quick to put together!  The card base is Whisper White, with a second layer embossed with the Holly folder.  This folder is one of my favorites for Christmas cards.  I used more Whisper White to die-cut the beautiful poinsettia using the Spellbinders Layered Poinsettia.  The sentiment is from Penny Black Christmas Cheer, and was stamped in Versafine Vintage Sepia.  I thought it was the perfect sentiment for an all-white Christmas card.  A simple rhinestone in the middle of the poinsettia finishes off the details.

Merry Monday #85

Happy Tuesday,

I'm popping in very quickly to share a card for this week's Merry Monday #85.  We were asked to create a card using all white or ivory, and brown or kraft for the sentiment and accents.

My card:

I created a CAS card, which is always one of my favorite styles.  The card base is Very Vanilla, followed with another layer of the same card stock and embossed with the Holly embossing folder.
I created a poinsettia with the Layered Poinsettia Spellbinders, and simply added 4 tiny rhinestones in the middle.  The sentiment is from Fiskars' Holiday Frolic, and was stamped in VersaFine Vintage Sepia.

I'm also linking at CAS on Sunday and Rudolph Days Challenge.

Thanks for taking a peek,


     

Merry Monday #56

Happy Tuesday Everyone!

I'm heading out the door, but wanted to upload my card for this week's Merry Monday Challenge #56.

My Card:

The base of the card is Very Vanilla, followed with Real Red cardstock and a pretty red patterned paper from my stash.  The stripes are from from SU!  Print Poetry.  I've flipped the sketch on it's side as it worked better for my layout.  The sentiment is from SU! Snow Swirled, heat embossed with gold powder to make it stand out.  The beautiful poinsettia is from a Spellbinder die.  To give it some color, I added some green leaves using MS Holly punch

Thanks so much for stopping by,

Merry Monday #43

Hello my friends,

I have a card to share for this week's Merry Monday #43.  I love this week's sketch:

My card:

I didn't have any Christmas stamps small enough for the circles. so I decided to make 3 small poinsettias using the Layered Poinsettia Spellbinders.  The Christmas paper is from SU Scrapbooking Kit (retired).  The green cardstock was embossed with SU Petals-a-Plenty Folder.  I thought it would go well with the poinsettias.  The sentiment is from Just Rite's Noel Christmas Ornaments Stamp Set. 

This is the final Merry Monday Christmas Card Challenge for 2012!  I would like to wish everyone over at Merry Monday a Happy Holiday Season!

Thanks so much for stopping by,





IBSIC #35 & JAI #144

Hello my friends,

I have a card to share with you for 2 separate card challenges.  This week, at Inspired by Stamping , we were asked to use pink, gold and white, as the main colors.  Below is the photo inspiration:

I found this new card challenge, Just Add Ink #144, so I decided to play along and incorporate "Music" to my card:

The base card is Whisper White and the next layer is pretty paper from Webster's Pages' Clean & Simple.  I added gold and pink ribbon across the card.  I cut out a tag using music notes from Graphic 45.  Using the Layered Poinsettia Spellbinders, I cut a pink poinsettia and distressed the edges using Spun Suger Distress Ink by Jim Holtz (not sure if you can see it) - now that it's getting dark earlier, the lighting is not that great.  I adhered a small pink button to my tag and some more gold ribbon.  The sentiment is from Just Rite's Noel Christmas Ornaments Stamp Set.  Lastly, I added some pink rhinestones to the bottom of the card. 

Thank you so much for stopping by!

IBSIC #34

Hello my friends,

I have a card to share with you for this week's Inspired by Stamping Challenge #34. 

My card:

The base card is Whisper White and the layer is from Authentique Bundle Collection: Wonder Paper Pad.  The Santa Claus that is matted with black cardstock is from Bo Bunny.  I thought both papers would look good together!  Instead of a sentiment, I added 2 small poinsettias using the Layered Poinsettia Spellbinders.  I decided to lower the bow so it wouldn't cover Santa's face.  Lastly, I added some rhinestones (a bit hard to see). 

Thanks so much for stopping by!
