Joy of Christmas
1 day ago
Well, I am going to a birthday party tonight and needed a birthday card. So I combined the Verve challenge and the Cuttlebug Challenge and came up with this card. I just love this dp. I love the colors and the large polka dots. The Cuttlebug challenge was to emboss acetate, so the tag is acetate embossed with the Happy Birthday cuttlebug folder and the words Happy Birthday were cut out along with one of the small gifts. I had these large colored pearls by K&Co and they matched perfectly.
I am combining three challenges for this card. The sketch is found at Friday Sketchers, the SCS Limited Supply challenge for today was to use green, and two or three embellishments. My only two embellishments were the ribbon and the flourish rubons. All the flowers, etc. were cut from the DP. The third challenge is from my blogger group and that is to make a Valentine Card using Non-traditional colors.
This card is for the Unity Hip Hop Challenge. I only have a couple of Christmas stamps that I ordered around Christmas time, therefore the Christmas theme. I just love this stamp, and had so much fun making this card. I used glitter for the y and paperpierced the holly twig and the ornament. I used liquid applique for the fluffies on the J. As I have mentioned before I am not a seamstress. I don't evern like to sew, but for the love of making cards I just have to sew... So in the process of making this card I decided to stitch along the bottom, needless to say I completly destroyed it and had to fix it.. therefore the paper edging along the bottom.. LOL! I kind of like it though... Also the challenge was to use three of any embilisment and I used 5 gems on the ornament.
I need a card for a baby shower this weekend so I decided to make a baby card. I made this card for the SCS Ways to Use It challenge, and decided to also use the sketch from Our Creative Corner. I loved this sketch, and will have to keep it in mind. I did change it around a little, but kept it within the basic sketch. I have had this dp for along time, and as the challenge was for stripes, I decided to pull it out. I have also had these stickers for FOREVER, and just had to use them.

Today I went looking for a corner rounder punch. I have been wanting one, but finding one around here seems almost impossible, so I went to the Scrabook store and got one, while I was there I found this awesome stamp set and this awesome dp, so my card today was inspired from my shopping experience. This is a great sketch posted on SCS. I also have to say that one of my favorite embellishments is rhinestones. They add so much sparkle to a card. I have several favorites but this is then one that I wanted to post in the OCC challenge. It is not hard to create a card around them. I seems like I pull them out for almost every card I make. LOL!


added the prima with the metal accent and pearlized brad. I also added some Company K stickers I had that say Hope, Comfort, and Fun. I added some Martha Stewart pearls and here it is. I also want to say thank you to all those that have left me comments on my blog. All comments are so much appreciated.



using SU Winter White embossing powder and trimmed it with whisper white paper cut using scalloped scissors. I also used a paper piercer to pierce the scallops. I had this beautiful "Love" rhinestones from Marcella K and added it for the sentiment. I also added the pearls for added accent. I added a pink ribbon at the top. TFL!
