The Master Calls

Hello friends, Joy, here today showing you a butterfly card I made with supplies from Classy Cards 'n Such




The embossing on the white card stock is from an Anna Griffin embossing folder called Juliet Damask. The Anna Griffin folders emboss so well.  I was amazed at the depth of embossing achieved from any of the folders.

I colored some plain white card stock with a Tim Holtz Mini Ink Blending Tool, overlapping each color.

Then I used a die cut called Blissful Butterfly Border, cutting one from black card stock, and one from the card stock that I colored. I used the black for the outline, fitting in the colored butterflies.  Then I stamped the sentiment from Sweet 'n Sassy's Majestic Monarchs.

Thank you for looking at my card.  Have a happy stamping day.


Don't forget to check back tomorrow for our next challenge! We have an inspirational photo for you, for our CCNS #91 Purple Ride challenge!

Thank you for stopping by!!! Until next time...

Pretty Shells

Hi there! Diane with you today with a card to inspire you
to do a little shell collecting..lol!

I can remember vacations as a child going to the lakes and always looking for shells...but we never had any like these!


I started my card by first dusting my card stock with the Anti-static Bag, then stamping a splatters stamp with Versamark, and applying Frantage Embossing Powder-Aged Gold  and heat setting it. I like the way it gives the appearance of sand.

A few shells were cut from Impression Obsession Shell Set. After each shell was cut, I lightly inked the edges. Want smaller shells? Then you would like Impression Obsession Mini Shell Set.

I added a few LeCreme Pearls among the shells.

I finished with a sentiment stamped from the JustRite  Floral Basket stamp set, then added a few strands of twine!

Thank you for visiting with me today.

Have a Happy Day

Good afternoon friends!  Joy, here today showing you a happy day card, with supplies I found at the Classy Cards 'n Such online store.

I love shaker cards - and I'm kinda stuck on making them.  Here is one I made for a friend.


The papers are from Graphic 45's Botanical Tea, and the yellow is from Secret Garden.

The Butterfly is from the Majestic Monarchs stamp set by Sweet 'n Sassy, which was stamped on Clear Card Stock by Heartfelt Creations. This is great for shaker cards because it is thicker and has great body.  I used the 1/4" Scor-Tape because I needed the strength to keep the clear cardstock firmly in place.

The sentiment is from Stampavie Sweet Wishes, and was stamped on some Heavyweight Vellum and attached with a brad. 

Thanks for looking at my card.  I hope you have a Happy stamping day!


We hope you come back every day to see two new cards posted daily that the design team has created not only for the weekly challenge, but we also post two regular cards daily, later in the week, to give you even more inspiration!

Thank you for stopping by!!! Until next time...

Beach Step Card

Hi! It is Shirley posting today.  I saw an accordion fun fold card on Pinterest the other day, that looked interesting and not to difficult to make. There was a video/tutorial and it was easy to follow. That is a good thing, because if it gets too involved or things take a bad turn, I usually am done with making something new. I bet you know what I mean.  If you want to watch the tutorial, click on the link above.

Graphic 45~Beach Fun 


I used a turquoise card base and layered it with a yellow card stock. The designer paper that I used is the Graphic 45 By The Sea 8 X 8 paper pad.

The "By The Sea" title was cut from the By The Sea paper pad. This pad makes it easy to make cards. I love the pictures they provide so you can make a really quick card if you like. The beach sign  post was made with a die from my collection and the "To The Beach" was cut from the paper pad, also. 

I used the Impression Obsession Mini Nautical Die Set to cut the anchors, the lighthouse and the ring buoy. The sailboats were cut with the  Impression Obsession Sailboats die set. The waves were made with a border die from my collection. *There is a really cool Waves die by Joy Craft in the CCNS online store that is available. It is in the supply list below.*

The truck was created by using the Impression Obsession Classic Truck die. I made the mounds of sand using a border die. The grass was cut using the Impression Obsession Grass die.

I hope you enjoyed my card today.  Come back and see us again soon.

Fowls of the Air

Welcome to the Classy Cards 'n Such blog! Mindy with you today, to share a card I made from a New stamp set from the Classy Cards 'n Such online store. The card is called Fowls of the Air, and features a lovely bird with ferns and a scripture from Matthew 6:26.


I began this card by embossing a background with a wood grain embossing folder, and then stamping the lovely bird from the Peace of God stamp set from Sweet 'n Sassy Stamps, on watercolor paper and colored it in with watercolor pencils.

While this was drying, I stamped the sentiment also from this set on the watercolor paper and framed it with some green stock. I thought the card needed a little something else, so I stamped three leaf sprigs from the Delightful Daisy Stamps, from Heartfelt Creations. I stamped them on colored card stock, then highlighted them with a Clear Glitter Pen by Wink of Stella for sparkle.

After adhering all the elements of the card to the base, I added three Water Dew Drops, from the Robin's Nest to add a little more sparkle and dimension to the card.

I'm glad you stopped by today for a visit, and hope you will submit a card for our challenge this week. Check the Challenge Calendar to see what we are working on this week.
