Party Music

Hello!  Diana here to share with you a card I made in honor of CCNS's 100th challenge. What's more festive than some music - and then you have to shake to it, right?


For my shaker card, I used MFT Blueprints 13 as my base, as well as the curved bracket tag in the same set for my shaker window.

The musical elements are from Memory Box new release: Elegant Musical Staff and Melody Music. Because the staff is so thin and dainty, instead of gluing it on top and getting glue everywhere on the Clear card stock, I used the inlaid die-cutting technique behind the shaker elements.This insured that the staff spacing would not be compromised also.

I used 1/8 Scor-tape and Large Foam Pads to adhere all my layers after I added colorful Rhinestones and Sequins into my shaker window.  The black music notes were cut using self adhesive black card stock. I had them arranged across the Clear card stock and, onto the white card stock, as well as some Rhinestones. I like the look of them flying out the window.

 I hope you can play along with this special week's challenge!

Cupcake Birthday

Good Morning, it is Shirley posting today. I am going to share a card with you that I made for the CCNS #100 Party Theme challenge. We are suppose to use bright colors and I think this card fits the bill.


I started my card by using a white card base and adding a lavender layer over the top of it. I then chose a colorful piece of designer paper to add over the lavender.

I used a strip of white card stock and embossed it with my Dots embossing folder. I adhered it to the bottom of my designer paper. Next I made a border using the Our Daily Bread Designs Beautiful Borders die. I put a strip of the lavender card stock behind it to enhance the beauty.

I used the Our Daily Bread Pennant Swag die, and the  Pennant Swag 2 stamps to make the Happy Birthday Banner. I added Lavender Rhinestones to the bows.

The lavender heart was made using the Spellbinders Classic Scalloped Hearts die. I also used the Dots embossing folder on it. I stamped a small cupcake, colored it with markers, and I used glossy accents on the cherry to make it shine. I then fussy cut it and added it to the heart. 

The flourishes were made using the Impression Obsession Heart Flourish die.  I added sequins to enhance the party theme.

All of the die cut pieces were attached to the card using Art Institute Dries Clear Adhesive and the Art Institute Metal Tip.

I sure hope you will join us for this challenge. We are always anxious to see your creations! Party Time!!

Thank you, for stopping by today.
