Holly Jolly Frostings

Hello!  Happy Monday to Everyone!

It's a Holiday Monday!  Hooray!  A great way to celebrate any holiday is with stamping!  Right?  So, I'm happy to share the challenge from the folks over at Fab Friday:

I'm planning cards for my Christmas Card Club, so I changed the sketch just a bit.

Aren't the frosted finishes so pretty?  They have a flat back, so they are very easy to use.  I just stuck it on with a glue dot!  Very blingy and pretty!

Supplies used:

Stamp Set: Tags 4 You

Cardstock: Whisper White, Coastal Cabana, Smokey Slate

Paper: Winter Frost Specialty Designer Series Paper

Accessories: Label Bracket Punch, 1 3/4" Circle Punch, Frosted Finishes and Coastal Cabana Ruffled Ribbon

Thanks for stopping by!

A Pretty Little Happy Birthday

Hello Friends!

Check out the great color challenge from Fab Friday!

It's such a pretty, soft color combo.  I pulled out my favorite stamp set, Sassy Salutations to make a simple card for our next card class.  Oh yeah, that's tomorrow!  :)

It was hard for me to make the color bars uneven, but I think the uneven-ness of it gives it a more casual, more pleasant feel.  I can't wait to see if the gals tonight leave their card stock uneven, or if they have to straighten it out.  Fun times!

Thanks for looking!

Sassy Fab Friday

Hello!

Take a look at this week's sketch from the folks over at Fab Friday.

At first glance, I was petrified of all that 'white' space at the bottom of the card.  Then, I decided it didn't have to be 'plain white' space.  That's one thing I really like about participating in challenges..... I try something I probably wouldn't have thought of on my own. 

I can't imagine crafting a card without using one of my favorite embossing folders.  This time, I chose the chevron EF.  I love the movement it gives this card!  As you probably guessed, this is another sample for the first month of Christmas Card Club.  These brilliant ladies are starting early, getting their Christmas crafting done!  They'll have 60 completed cards by the first week of December. 

Supplies used:

Stamp Set: Sassy Salutations

Big Shot: Chevron EF, Deco Labels Framelits

Accessories: Brights Candy Dots, Crumb Cake Taffeta Ribbon

Paper: Crumb Cake, Old Olive, Whisper White CS, Season of Style dsp

A Challenge from Fab Friday!

Hello!

The designers over at Fab Friday have a great sketch for us!  Check it out:  (FabFri21)

At first, I didn't know what to do about the arrow.  That's not a shape I would normally use, but this is a challenge, so I decided to stay as true to the sketch as possible and I found an arrow.

Okay, I'm sure you noticed I rotated the sentiment.  I think it works!  It's very bright and summery!  I love it, I hope you do too!

Supplies:
Stamp Sets: Really Good Greetings, Designer Typeset Photopolymer Stamps
Card stock: Daffodil Delight, Strawberry Slush, Island Indigo, Pool Party, Whisper White, Quatrefancy SSP
Accessories: Candy Dots
