My Wish For You

Hi! Today it's Joy here, showing you a card I made for the Classy Cards 'n Such Challenge #95, called Colors and Patterns.

I'm always interested in how patterns are put together, so I will really be looking forward to seeing what you do!

A scallop die from My Favorite Things Blueprints 4, those great dimensional Joy Large Foam Pads to pop up the sentiment.

A few scraps from my HUGE paper pile and a stamp, was all that was needed for this card. Classy Cards 'n Such made this an easy challenge!

Trims and Edges

Hi, Diane with you today!

Our #95 challenge this week is Colors and Patterns. Sounds like fun to me!

I used my very favorite embossing folder from Darice called Quilt Blocks. I embossed two different color card stocks, cut each one into squares. Then adhered them down in the order of the design on the folder, alternating the colors. I used Scor-Tape 1/4 to adhere them.

I cut 3 pieces of trim using Impression Obsession Border Duo 1 dies.

Next, I stamped Sweet 'n Sassy stamps Parisian Postcard for the flowers, which I colored with my markers.

A Spellbinders scalloped circle was used to cut the flowers out. I used  one of the tools from the Cheery Lynn Designs Crafter Tools, to poke a hole around each scallop.

I finished up with a sentiment from the same Parisian Postcard stamp set, added a ribbon and a button.

I invite you to join in the challenge with us. You could win a fabulous prize!!

 

Isn't this a fun challenge??  There is plenty of time left for you to join in!  Details can be found by clicking on the Current Challenge tab on the right side of blog. Come join the fun!!

Thanks for stopping by!!! Until next time...

Beautiful You

Hello! Diana here, to share with you a card I made with some fun summer colors, for this week's Colors and Patterns challenge.

I started with 2 sheets of white card stock, trimmed with the largest rectangle die from Spellbinders A2 Matting Basics A. On one of them, I sponged in a diagonal direction with Tim Holtz Peacock Feathers, Picked Raspberry, and then Squeezed Lemonade.  I love how those colors blended together makes such a wonderful array of colors.

From the second piece of the white rectangle, I die cut out a Fancy Cutout Border by Impression Obsession and also the Memory Box Honey Blossom Sprig. I then adhered that sheet with all the negative cuts on it to the sponged layer. After that was done, I glued back the white Honey Blossom Sprig - slightly offsetting it so that the sponged layer would show up as a shadow.

I also sponged another strip with the same colors to add a banner using some stamps and White Detail embossing powder. For a final touch, I added some pearl dots using the Ice White Viva Decor Pearl Pen.

For the inside of the card, I also used the Fancy Cutout Border die along the bottom edge. 

Thanks for looking and I hope you find some time to play along!

Angel Corners Frame

Good Morning, it is Shirley posting today.  I am going to show you a card I made for the Challenge #95 Colors and Patterns.

You can find the inspiration picture by clicking on the Current Challenge tab, found on the right side of the blog. I have always loved these two colors together so I really like this card. I am also enjoying my Angel Corner die.

I started off with a green card base and layered it with peach card stock. I had a piece of green patterned designer paper in my green scrap bag, that I added over the top of the peach card stock.

Now the fun begins when the decorating starts. I used my PoppyStamps Angel Corner die to make the fancy frame. Next, I chose to use two die sets from my collection, to make the center of my card. The sentiment was stamped on the green die cut, using the Our Daily Bread Designs No Words stamp set.

I cut three hearts using vanilla card stock and a punch. I cut three green hearts, and three peach hearts, using the Memory Box Precious Hearts die. I glued the peach hearts to the green hearts, and used Joy Small Foam Pads to pop them up over the vanilla heart. I cut two more peach hearts to add on the sentiment piece. I used Baby Silver Rhinestones to decorate the hearts.

The finishing touch to my card was adding the bow, made using the Sue Wilson Filigree 3D Itty Bitty Bow.

I adhered all the pieces of this card using Art Institute Dries Clear Adhesive. This adhesive adheres to most anything. It dries quickly, and it really holds well to keep your pieces from falling off your card.

I hope you will make a card using the inspiration picture and join us for our challenge.

Thanks for looking and have a great week.
