Pink Blossoms

Hi, Diane here with you today! I have a very summery card to show you!

I made my flowers first, using the newly released

PoppyStamps Velvet Blossom. I had a bit of surprise when I cut this die, as each petal cut separately, then you put the flower together petal by petal. I loved that, it made each flower much more real!

Once the petals were cut and embossed, I colored them with Susan's Gardens Pan Panstels Flower Coloring Kit,

using the Magenta color on pink card stock. The center of the flowers and the stems also cut separately.

I cut a Spellbinders Floral Oval from white card stock. I stenciled it using Memory Box Texture Tessatina stencil,

giving a nice, soft background look.

The butterflies were cut from Heavyweight Vellum twice, one for the bottom and one for the top. The bottom piece I did not emboss. Aren't they pretty? I think they make such a statement!

The background paper is from Wild Rose Studio, and I created a bow to finish.

A few things I pretty much use daily in the making of my cards are Scor-tape, Large and Mini Cuttlehug adapter plates, Cheery Lynn Designs Crafters Tools.

Warmest Greetings

Hello Classy Friends! Diane here with you today. The holidays are once again behind us. They seem to arrive before we know it and leave the same way.

But, Mr Winter just arrived on December 21st and he is going to stick around for awhile! If you live in a warmer part of the country, count your blessings, as it is bitter cold here!

Our challenge this week is teal and snowflakes. I decided to go with a "nine patch" card, cutting 9 squares, each 1 1/2", distressing each edge, then inking with Tim Holtz Broken China.

The papers I used for my squares are from the gorgeous

Wild Rose Studio Frosted Lace paper pack. Each square was adhered down with Scor-Tape 1/4".

I cut snowflakes using the Impression Obsession Small Snowflake die set, using Pearlized Esse White Metallic paper. Each snowflake was adorned with Baby Pearls White. I created my rose using Spellbinders Spiral Blossom One. 

The leaf is a PoppyStamps Gentle Leaf and the sentiment is from an older set of Flourish stamps in my stash!  I also used Impression Obsession Heart Stems and Cheery Lynn Designs Wreath Strip.

I think this will be a nice card to send someone to cheer them up on a cold winters day, what do you think?

New Year . . . New You

For the last challenge of 2014, I decided it was time to look forward to 2015.

Mindy here, with my card that celebrates that it is Time for a New Year and a New You!  Many folks make resolutions at the New Year, but I don't have much luck at sticking with them. But then again, there is always next year.

I started by selecting a printed paper from the Frosted Lace paper pad by Wild Rose Studio. It is a perfect paper collection for the New Year, frosty, snowy, and lots of blue and teal colors. I matched the printed paper with a sheet of So . . .Silk Glamour Green specialty card stock that is featured in the Classy Cards n' Such online store. The So . . .Silk Glamour Green made a beautiful A2 size card base, and the print matched it beautifully. 

The timepiece I used was die cut from a Spellbinder's die that has been discontinued, but there are many other clock face dies and stamps available to choose from.

I die cut a lacy rectangle from the Radiant Rectangles die, also from Spellbinder's, from a white/gold specialty paper sheet. I used it as a background for my saying, Time 4 a New You! The letters and number die were from other dies I have in my stash.  To give them a little sparkle I brushed over them with my Clear Glitter Pen by Wink of Stella.

To finish my card I adhered the watch face with Large Foam Pads  by Joy!, a few organza flowers with Pearl centers, and a 2015 sticker to celebrate the New Year.  Happy New Year 2015 to all our friends, from Classy Cards n' Such!

Tis' The Season

 Wrappings and Ribbons and Tags oh my! 

Tis' the season...lol...Diane here with you today with this weeks challenge "Wrappings", using the photo for inspiration and using Christmas Designer papers and ribbons.

I made an extremely simple card that at this time of the year, I think simple is better!!

For my stacked packages I used an Impression Obsession die Gift Stack Cutout, which is a wonderful die for any time of the year! I cut the outline from Luminized Curious Metallic Silver card stock. For the inside of the cutout, I cut small scraps from Wild Rose Studio Frosted Lace 6 x 6 paper pack. I wanted a bit of sparkle, so to the bows I added Queen and Co Silver Rock Candy. 

The other two packages were cut free hand using scrap pieces from Authentique  Believe 6 x 6 paper pad. The package with the poinsettia,  I added Gelly Roll Stardust Clear pen for a bit of shine.

My card was finished with a sentient from JustRite Christmas Inner Thoughts stamp set.
