I just checked in at Wee Memories, where I entered the Challenge #30 - Its time for a BIRTHDAY BASH!!, and was very happily surprised to find that I was chosen as one of the Fav 4! It really made my day, especially since I’m so fresh in this game. It’s a huge inspiration to keep creating.
I have a new card to show today. It’s getting close to Christmas, so those cards are the ones I’m focusing on as of now.
There are 3 challenges I’m adding my card to: One of them is Crazy 4 Challenges C4C63, where you’re to make a Christmas card. The other two is Flourishes Timeless Tuesday Challenge FTTC92, where the requirement is to use glitter, and Caardvarks where you’re to make a holiday card using die cut(s). Stop by the challenge blogs to see all the beautiful projects.
Front:
Stamps: I used the Holiday Ornament from Heartfelt Creations and colored it with Letraset Promarkers. I used some then added some Smooch Silver Fox and also some glitter.
The other stamp I used is the Stampabilities Glory to God rubber stamp. I stamped all my stamps with Tsukineko VersaFine Onyx Black.Dies: Spellbinders Labels Three and Labels Six.
Punches: Martha Stewart Doily Lace Deep Edger Punch.
Paper: Bazzill cardstock.
Inside:
Stamps: Large Poinsetta Candle from Heartfelt Creations, colored with Letraset Promarkers.
I really do hope you can see this, but I stamped HCPC 3345 Snowflake Medley PreCut Set from Heartfelt Creations with Tim Holtz Distress Embossing Ink Pad, and added Bridal Embossing Powder. I then heated it up with my heat gun and the result is stunnishing! I really hope you can see it, as it was very hard to photograph.
Dies: Spellbinders Curved Rectangles.
Punches: Martha Stewart Doily Lace Edger Punch.
Embossing folders: Cuttlebug Winter Borders.
Well, I guess this is it for now. It’s getting late over here, so I should end this post here.
Hope you had a great weekend, and thanks for stopping by!

I made this card for a friend’s birthday, and as the topic for the Party Time Tuesdays Challenge #19 is “anything goes”, I’m adding the card to the challenge. The only requirement is to use birthday wording on the front, and I have that covered.
I’m also adding this card to Wee Memories Challenge #30 - Its time for a BIRTHDAY BASH!!, where the challenge is to make a project with a Birthday Theme.
I learned to make this type of card at Heartfelt Creations webpage, and the full tutorial on how to make this can be found at Cheryl's blog.
Front:
Stamps: I used HCPC 3315 Lily Petals PreCut Set to make my lilies. Before I stamped out the lilies I sprayed some Tim Holtz Peeled Paint Distress Re-inker on white paper and dried the paper with my heat gun. I also stamped out two leaves from HCPC 2252 Stem and Leaves Pre Cut Set. They’re not really the leaves I wanted for this project, but they’re the ones I had. I then stamped out the sentiment. Sadly I’ve forgotten where I bought it, but I’ll try to figure it out. In the mean time – please let me know if you recognize it. I stamped all the images with Tsukineko Memento Bamboo Leaves Dye Inkpad.
Dies: I used two of the dies from HCD 704 Perfect Petals Diecuts – the lily petals and the background. I also used Spellbinders Doodle Parts and Labels Four.
Paper: Bazzill Bling String of Pearls and Inkido Sommar Text Vanilj.
Embellishments: Ribbon and shiny brads.
Inside:
Stamps: I stamped HCPC 3323 - Large Elegant Word Background PreCut Set with Tim Holtz Distress Embossing Ink Pad and used my heat gun to dry it. It’s so hard to get this to show in the pictures, but you can actually tell in this one. I also used the same Happy Birthday sentiment as in the front, and again I used the Tsukineko Memento Bamboo Leaves Dye Inkpad. I used the smallest butterfly from HCPC 2264 Swirl Mystique Butterfly PreCut Set from Heartfelt Creations to make the details around the sentiment.
Dies: Spellbinders Labels Five Nestabilities
Well, it’s nearly bedtime over here in Norway, so I’ll end this here. Thanks for stopping by!
I decided to join in on the Timeless Tuesday Challenge(FTTC91) over at Flourishes this week.
I’ve also added my card to Wee Memories scrappy Saturday challenge, this week’s theme is “Free for All”.
For the Timeless Tuesday Challenge, the card submitted were supposed to be inspired by a Cafe Baudelaire print (click on the picture to get to this picture on Etsy).
Now how was I inspired by this picture? I noticed the soft purple color and wanted to use a lot of purple on my card. I also saw how the motive was framed in, so I wanted my focus point to be framed in as well. The folds on the dress inspired my ribbon. Then there was also some flowers, so flowers became a big part of my card too.
This is what I came up with:
Front:
Stamps: I used “Floral Swirl” from Clear Dollar Stamps as my background. I first used my minimister filled with Tim Holtz Dusty Concord Distress Reinker and water, and sprayed the background. I dried it with my heat gun and then stamped the image. The background was colored by Letraset Promarkers, color purple, amathyst and Marsh Green. My sentiment is from AmyR Stamps Friends Sentiments from All That Scraps.
Dies:Spellbinders Lotus Borderabilities Petite, Classic Lace Border Grand, Big Scalloped Border Grand, Fleur De Lis Pendant and Fancy Tags.
Embellishments: I used Tim Holtz Liquid Pearls White Opal to mark the center of my flowers, as well as a brad to hold my ribbon together.
Detail:
Inside:Stamps: Again I sprayed white paper with Tim Holtz Dusty Concord Distress Reinker and water. I stamped HCPC 3323 - Large Elegant Word Background PreCut Set with Tim Holtz Distress Embossing Ink Pad and used my heat gun to dry it. You can’t really tell from my photo, sadly.
Dies: Spellbinders Decorative Photo Corners.
Thanks for looking!
