Patterns stitching colors

Hello, it is Shirley posting today.  I have made a card for the new Classy Cards 'n Such challenge for this week.   We have an inspiration picture with stuffed puppy dogs on it.  We are suppose to use the Colors, Stitches or Patterns on our cards.  We can use them all if we like.  I went with the colors.  Here is my card.

  

All of the patterned paper that I used in my card including the image came from the Graphic 45 Raining Cats And Dogs Paper Pad.  This paper does all the work and takes the guess out of what papers to put together for a card.

The circle was cut using the Spellbinders Teardrop Circles die.  This set comes with four dies.  I used the Spellbinders Tool 'n One to clean my die.  Here is a video on how well it works.  It sure saves a lot of time.

I made my flower using Heartfelt Creations Botanical Rose stamps.  I sponged them with ink.   I shaped them using the Paper Blossoms Tool Kit.   I added stickles to the center of the flowers.  I colored the leaves and scrunched the tips.

I hope you will join us for the challenge.

Heart Felt

Hello Classy friends!

Diane here with you today with my creation for our challenge #70 this week, Shabby Chic Heart.

 

Though my card has a heart, it could be used for just about any occasion - Thinking of You, Just Because, Birthday, etc. I don't know about you, but I just "heart" (pun intended) heart dies!!

The gorgeous background paper is from the Authentique Faith 6 x 6 paper pad. I truly am thinking of ordering another pad of this paper, as it is full of the most lovely neutral papers I have seen. Both the bow and the doily trim are cut from the same paper in the pad, as is the background paper and bow. I'm telling you, the designs are just beautiful in this pack!

The bow is so intricate and detailed. It is a Sue Wilson Filigree 3D Itty Bitty Bow die. A handy tool to remove all those little pieces from the die when finished is the Spellbinders Tool 'n One.

 

The beautiful heart was cut from Poison Ivy Curious Metallic paper, then embossed with Crafts-Too Dots embossing folder.

The sentiment is from the JustRite Hope and Love Vintage Labels Eight and Nine stamp set.

To finish, I added La Creme Pearls.

I'm glad you could visit today...see you soon!

Close To You

Hello, it's Mindy! I needed a really frilly card for a young friend who loves the color purple, and things with lots of bling!

I just received a wonderful order from Classy Cards 'n Such, and decided to use some of my new products immediately!

I started with a piece of printed paper and cut the Prima Doily #4 - Rose die, and split it two pieces. I used the Tool 'n One to brush all of the little negative pieces out amid the intricate design.

I stamped the little girl image, Fanny's Cuddle clear stamp, and colored her and her puppy in with colored pencils. The image was trimmed with an oval die and mounted on a rectangle of purple card stock.  his element was then added to the center between the doily pieces. 

The sentiment tag was cut from card stock using the A2 Filigree Delight die and two oval dies. The sentiment I included was from the stamp Why Do Birds, only inking part of the stamp. I adhered the sentiment oval with foam tape to give the card dimension.

I completed the card by adding tiny roses, a bit of ribbon, some wire springs, and several pieces of the Eternal Swirl - White Pearls. 

I hope you have enjoyed this card, as much as I enjoyed making it!

Ring-A-Ding-Ding!

Hi, it's Mindy today! I was playing with a few bits and scraps left on my desk from this week's card making, and decided to use some of the pieces, laying around to make a Christmas card.

I got this new Bow and Bell die, and my first pass through the die cut machine left attached sections.  Of course, after I practiced a little, the detailed bits just flicked right out with the help of the Tool 'n One by Spellbinders.  The die on the card had some pieces still firmly attached, so I glued it on a sheet of Neenah white card stock, and colored in the blank areas with my Tim Holtz Distress Markers and a Tim Holtz Water Brush. 

I used a Kraft colored card base, and layered a rectangle of Echo Bronze Stardream Metallic paper, and then my pre-printed Christmas paper scrap for the background. The  Bow and Bell die cut and the Season's Greetings adhered on top.

I had a left over pieces of Eternal Swirls- White Pearls,  that added just a touch of bling to the card. 

I then fussy cut around the Bow and Bell, and attached it using Joy! Foam Pads to the front of the card.

I try to keep an eye on my scrap bin as I create cards. If I make a card with the scraps as I go, by the time Christmas comes around, maybe I will have enough hand-made cards to send, without having to spend days mass producing holiday cards!

Gingham Memories

Hello Classy Friends, Diane here with you on the blog today. This week is starting off with our Gingham challenge using the photo below for inspiration, you need to have gingham somewhere on your project!

I remember as a child how popular gingham was. I even had my bedroom decorated with gingham. We had to make a gingham apron in Home Economics" at school, so you might say I have always been a "gingham" girl!

Impression Obsession has a nice line of "cover a card" stamps. I am using Gingham Cover A Card, just think with this stamp you can have any color of gingham you want. These stamps are wonderful as they stamp big and you can choose to use the entire image of just a fraction of it. I chose to use the entire stamp with a red ink. Don't you just love red gingham?

I used the Mega Mount to mount my Cover-A-Card stamp on. This is a very large acrylic block that fits the stamps perfectly!

I cut four of the Cottage Kutz Fancy Floral Butterfly Corners and positioned them around my card to make a frame. A little tip in using the intricate dies is to place a piece of wax paper over your die, then you paper on top of that before cutting, it makes for a much easier release. To help get all those little pieces out of your cut piece, there is a wonderful new tool by Spellbinders called Tool 'n One.

For the center of my frame, I stamped JustRite Hello Daisy with Versamark, first running the Anti-Static Bag over my card stock, then embossed with Sparkle 'n Sprinkle Black Fine Embossing Powder.

Using Spellbinders Floral Ovals, I positioned it over my stamped image and die cut it.

To finish my card, I added Red Pearls to each corner, a gingham bow and button.
