Quieting Our Fears

Hi, it's Joy posting.  Today is a bittersweet day for me.  This will be my last post for Classy Cards 'n Such.  Beverly, the owner, is retiring and God has some new adventures in store for her.  I have so enjoyed serving as a Design Team member.  She has been so very gracious (especially when I was running late on my projects!) and generous with the Design Team.

Here is my card for today.

I used some of my favorite paper (which I have hoarded) from Heartfelt Creations but let go of for this special occasion. The Stamp is from Sweet 'n Sassy's God Is Stamp Collection -- also my favorite.  The centers of the blossoms have Art Institute Adhesive and Pumice Stone Distress Glitter.  The birdie has Wink of Stella on his wings.

Be sure to check out the Classy Cards 'n Such online store.  There are some FANTASTIC bargains on supplies, stamps, and dies from many great companies.

Thank for looking at my card.  Blessings to you Beverly and all you have done to make our hobby fun and enjoyable.  

Thanks to each of the design team members, past and present, for their kind words and faithful support of me and this blog!   A special thanks to Debbie Z. for her many, many hours spent in support of Classy Cards!!   Working with each of you has been my pleasure and privilege!

Butterfly Love

Good morning, Joy here today with a card made with supplies from the Classy Cards 'n Such online store.  This is for this weeks' challenge of using lilacs and lace.

A panel was die cut with a Spellbinders Classic Scalloped Heart.  The layers were edged with a Mini Ink Blending Tool and ink.  The lace, sprig, sequins and heart were attached using Art Institute Glue.  The panel was popped up with Large Joy Foam Pads.  The little butterflies were covered with Wink of Stella.  The sentiment is from JustRite's Botanical Medallions & Banners.

Love Is

Hi friends, Mindy here with a sample card of our challenge here at Classy Cards 'n Such.  The challenge is Love Makes the World Go Round,  using pink and/or red, with white and hearts. My card uses all of the above and I hope you like it.

I started with a white card base and embossed it with the Dots Embossing Folder by Crafts Too!  I embossed another white stock sheet with the Roses Embossing Folder by Brenda Walton and Sizzix and fussy cut around the flowers before attaching to the card borders with foam tape. These roses were colored with the Clear Glitter Pen by Wink of Stella to give them a bit of sparkle. I then stamped and colored the large flower from Floral Vintage Labels Two by JustRite Stampers, fussy cut around and adhered to card front with foam tape.

The sentiment was die cut along with a piece of thin craft foam to give it stability and strength before adhering it to the card front, along with heart stamping here and there.  I hope you will take the time while creating your Valentine cards to enter our weekly challenge.  There is a nice prize for the winner, and great prices on many of our supplies.

Won't you join our challenge this week?  It's super easy!

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

Hot Chocolate Time

Hi, it's Joy today - Brrrr.... it's cold today - no snow though.  Supplies to make this shaker card can be found in the Classy Cards 'n Such online store.  I just love going through the store and getting inspiration.  This is for the week's challenge called "Winter Blues".

The sweet little snowman is from Twinkles.  After coloring the snowman and bird, I covered them with Wink of Stella.  The sentiment was heat embossed on the acetate with Sparkle 'n Sprinkle's White Fine Detail Embossing powder.  To pop up the panel for the shaker, I cut some Large Joy Foam Pads and fit them around it.  The blue background paper is some  I made with Ken Oliver's Indigo Color Burst and the card base was embossed with Dots by Crafts Too!.

Now it's time to join all the others in the Winter Blues challenge. First, go to the Classy Cards 'n Such blog, get some inspiration from the Design Team members and make your project using blues - be sure to look at the details on the blog and then link your project here at the Classy Cards'n Such blog.  You could be the winner of a nice prize.

Winter Wishes

Hello, Diane with you today!  Our challenge this week is winter blues, make it blue and white and to use the inspiration board.  Well, you can also see I was inspired a bit by the kraft color in the bottom photo.

I started my card by embossing with the Darice embossing folder Doily Lace.  Using a Kraft paper, I die cut Marianne Anja's Large Oval.  The green flourish you see is also from the same set.

The image and the snow verse you see are both from the
gorgeous Graphic 45 Time To Flourish paper pack.  This paper pack is so beautiful that I had to purchase two pads, as I knew one I would hoard!

I added a bit of sparkle by using Wink of Stella Glitter Pen on the image.  I finished up with a few Le Creme pearls.

Thank you for visiting with me today!

Thank You

This year is drawing to an end and there are many people to thank for a year full of blessings.  Mindy with you today to share a card that is suitable to send for just about any occasion you want to thank someone for.

There are many beautiful colors of metallic papers available in the Classy Cards 'n Such Online Store that would make a perfect card base. I used a blank of the Starburst Lichen Aspire Petallic Metallic Paper and die cut one of the English Rose Bouquet by Memory Box to adhere to the center of the card.  Before adhering, I colored the leaves with a marker, and the blooms with my Clear Glitter Pen by Wink of Stella. For the corners, I followed one of my fellow design team members in using one of the decorative accents from the Brick House die cut from Impression Obsession. The sentiment was from my stash.

I thank you all for visiting our blog and web site this past year, and supporting us with all your wonderful comments and inspired creations.  I look forward to more creativity in our challenges, and want to wish you all a Happy and Safe New Year in 2016.

Happy New Year to all!

Blessed Christmas

My card represents a snowy white branch with berries, that could be a pine branch covered with white fluffy snow.  Mindy with you, to share my card that could be used for Christmas or any winter holiday or occasion.

I built two frames from the Radiant Rectangles Die by Spellbinders, and attached my Branch Set 1 and Ponderosa Pine Sprig both from Dee's Distinctively Dies. For berries on my branch, I punched red dots from a regular hole punch, and glittered them with Clear Glitter Pen from Wink of Stella. I tucked them in amid the pine sprigs and added a Christmas sentiment to complete my card.

I hope you have a wonderful week, and enjoy the many sample cards our design team shares on our blog.
