Color My World SSC# 034

These are GREAT colors together, don't you think?

Love, Love the flower!!

For the greeting "Valentine Greetings", it is from the set called "Grateful Greeting".  I stamped with Versamark and then embossed with White embossing powder.  To get the little hearts border, it is with the border punch Pinking Hearts.  And the FLOWER is made with Real Red Satin Ribbon.  You will have to come back to see how this is done.  I am using this for my Technique Club next month.  I can't wait they are going to love it!

If you would like to join us,  YOU CAN!  Just leave a comment with your link so everyone can check out your project. 




HAPPY STAMPING!

Bear Hug!!

How Cute will this be for my Granddaughter's Valentine?

BIG BEAR HUGS ALL AROUND!


LOVE!!!
This is a punch card that I did for a swap group that I am in every month.  I love punch art!!  The colors that I used for this card are:  Soft Suede, Real Red, Pretty In Pink and Whisper White.  I also used the NEW Glimmer paper that you can find in the Occasion's Mini Catalog.  The hair on the Teddy Bear is made from 5/8 Early Espresso ribbon.  I cut off one end and then frayed it.

Music Mania Challenge SSC#033

LOVE IT!!  The Bling is GREAT!!

In this challenge we are to take the above musical and create a card from it.  This was an easy one!  Of course I had to do the Bright - Red - Shinny theme.  LOL

Stampin' Up!'s NEW Glimmer Paper!

For my creation I used the NEW Designer Series Paper "Love Impressions" for the "I" and the "U".  If you haven't seen this DSP you really have to check it out! It is in the new Occasion's Mini Catalog.  The Heart is punched out of the NEW Glimmer Paper with a Whisper White Heart behind it.  This paper is GREAT!!  All about the Bling!  The background is Real Red Card stock which I ran through the Big Shot in the Perfect Polka Dots Impressions folder.  The small little tags are stamped from the set called "Tiny Tags" and then punched out with the Tag punch.

If you would like to join in on the fun of the Thursday challenges you can.  Just send me an email at:  jntcrlsn@yahoo.com and I will get you all the information.  If you have a blog I can link to yours or if you don't I will post your card right here.  Come on...join in the stamping fun!

Sketch Challenge SSC032

Every Thursday DoStampers have a blog challenge.  This week it is a Sketch challenge.
If you would like to join in on the fun, just let me know and I can email all the Thursday Challenges that we have lined up.  When you are done with your art you can send it to me and I will get it posted for all to see.  jntcrlsn@yahoo.com

My finished art project!

I used Crumb Cake, Pretty In Pink & Real Red Card stock to make the base of the card.  On the Real Red Pc I ran it through the Big Shot with the Impressions folder "Elegant Lines".  I LOVE my Big Shot!!  You can do so many different things with it.  All the different Dies, Impressions Folder that Stampin' Up! has for it, your creativity is endless.  For the leaves I used a variety of colors to give it the depth.  The colors are Wild Wasabi, Garden Green and Certainly Celery.  To get my leaves I used my Big Shot and the die called " Sizzlits Little Leaves".  The LOVE is from the new set you can find in the Occasions Mini Catalog.  It is a new Valentine's set that came out called "XOXO".  After I stamped the image I than colored in the heart with Real Red and finished it with putting Dazzling Diamonds glitter on.

I hope you enjoyed this challenge, I sure did!  Come on and join us for the next challenge.



Happy Stamping!
