CAS - Christmas Card

Hi ladies, tonight I have one of the hardest types of cards to make (at least for me) - the CAS card!  LOL - I am so tempted to add sequins, and ribbon, and layers, and die cuts, and bling....

Well I held back!  This is about as clean and simple as I can get!  :)

 

I used a white base made of Neenah card stock and a layer of burlap paper.  Have you tried this stuff?  It is great - it's burlap held together with some type of backing paper.  Its wonderful!

 

I used the Merry Little Christmas paper pad by MME for the piece with the ornaments on it.  I hand cut the little tag from the burlap and stamped the number 25 using a Hero Arts stamp set called Fanciful Swirl Alphabet.  I added a little twine behind a button to finish it off.

 

 

I am entering this card in the Freshly Made Sketches #115 Challenge.

 

Thanks for stopping by!

Haunted House - Janes Doodles - Digital Design Team Member!!!!

Hey Chicas -

I have wonderful news to share with you today!!  I am a member of Jane's Doodles Digital Design Team!!!  I can't tell you how over the moon I am!

I have my first design team card to show you.  :)  I used one of Jane's new stamps called Haunted House. 

 

I printed on Neenah paper and colored the image with copic markers.  I used a hand drawn cloud template to sponge some clouds with Faded Jeans and Weathered Wood distress inks. 

 

The die cut tree is from Memory Box, I thought it adds just the right amount of "spooky" to the card.  The full moon was a SU circle punch that was sponged with Frayed Burlap distress ink.

 

Here is a side view that shows the Stardust Stickles on the clouds and the dimension of the tree and the different layers.  I added glossy accents on all of the windows to imitate glass.

 

You can see all of Jane's wonderful digis in her shop!

 

 

Have a great night!

Sassy Sally's Secret Santa Gift - Sassy Cheryl

Alrighty!  Here is the last card that I made this weekend.  It is another Sassy Cheryl image called Sassy Sally's Secret Santa Gift.

This one I made for my boss at work, shhhh!  :)

This card is so shiney and sparkley IRL!  I colored the image in with my copics and used stickles for the shine.  I added a twine bow and distress ink to the edges.

Nikki- Saturated Canary

The next few cards I have to share are using another freebie by Krista at Saturated Canary.  This one is called Nikki.

I did a few different color combination with this image.  On this one I used pink and blue - I think it was a beautiful combination.  I added a twine bow, stickles, and a jingle bell.  Of course she was colored with Copics.

Here is another card using Nikki.  This time I used a green and beige color combo.  I added a hemp twine bow at the top and stickles all around!

 

I'm thinking this combo is my favorite out of the three - brown and red.  Love it!  I added stickles, a jingle bell anbd some hemp twine.

Here is a pic of the three cards together.

All of the patterned paper is from a stack that I bought at Michaels.

Botanical Silhouettes - Papertrey Ink

Happy Mothers Day to all you moms out there!  :)

I have the card I created for my mom to share with you today.  I used Botanical Silhouettes from Papertrey Ink.  My mom loves flowers.  :)

Okay, here is the run down:  I used Kraft cardstock as the base and Neenah for the main image.  The layered papers are from my stash.  I used Old Olive ink for the stems and Real Red, Cameo Coral, and Barley Bananna for the flowers.  I die cut a picket fence using a MFT die.  I used a butterfly from Petaloo and a button and some twine from my stash.  The final touch was some glitter to the centers of the flowers.  Can you see the dimension on this card?  Several things were popped uo like the flowers and the fence..


I am going to enter this card into the challenges below:
