Thank You

Good morning, Joy here today!  I'm a little excited about showing you this card that I made using supplies from  Classy Cards 'n Such.  It was a fun card to make!

What made it fun was cutting the die from the different colors and then placing them back in - just like a jig saw puzzle.  It was fun arranging the colors.  The die is from Memory Box called Large Ringlets. Note - you could also color the rings in with Tim Holtz Distress Markers which are on sale for $1.75 each, that's 1/2 price. You can find them here. What a deal!

The sentiment is from JustRite and called Spring Words.

The pretty check paper is from Graphic 45's By the Sea. 

This was a quickie card. It will be easy to send thru the mail.  I think it will be pretty using pastel colors also.

Thanks for looking at my card. Have a HAPPY stamping day!

Hydrangea Get Well

Hi, Shirley posting today!  I have a building block card for you to see today. I followed directions to make the card.

I am terrible at measuring so this was a step out of my comfort zone. This is the second one I have made. It was a little easier this time around.

I started off cutting the card out of brown card stock.    I cut the panels from vanilla card stock and paper from the Graphic 45 Botanical Tea 6 X 6 pad. I love the brown and pink together.

I cut a oval from vanilla card stock and stamped the image from the JustRite Botanical Medallions and Banners stamp set. I colored the image with markers.

I used the Spellbinders Large Scalloped Ovals die to cut the scalloped oval from brown card stock and adhered it to the image. I then cut a pink oval to go behind the scallop. I adhered the image to the front panel of the card.

I used dies to cut the letters and adhered to the card. I used punches to make the flower. You could substitute any of the flowers located here from Classy Cards 'n Such online store. There are also sets of alphabet dies located here.

Thank you, for visiting today and looking at my card. Tune in tomorrow for another fabulous card here at Classy Cards 'n Such.

Pine Bough

Hi, it's Jenny posting today.  I was so inspired by the colors in the challenge photo this week.  I loved those beautiful decorated cookies.

I've been collecting ornament dies and I thought it would be the perfect time to use them.  If you're like me and have some holiday supplies not getting much love, dust them off and join our challenge this week.

I first cut white and Kraft card stock panels with the Spellbinders A2 Matting Basics A die. I had a very different card in mind but it wasn't quite coming together so, I pulled out my Bo Bunny Mistletoe Collection paper pad, saw this beautiful red patterned paper and went a different direction.  I cut a piece of the red paper and layered it in between the two I'd cut using the Spellbinders A2 Matting Basics A die.  If I'd had the A2 Matting Basics B die, I would have used that instead.  These dies make perfect mats.

I cut the Memory Box Snowflake Ornament die out of white card stock and pressed it into a Versamark ink pad, making sure to ink the die cut well.  I sprinkled Silver embossing powder over the sticky inked side and then heat embossed the die. It gave the die cut such a nice finish.

I then cut a Memory Box Classic Ornament die out of the same Bo Bunny. I cut the Memory Box Snowflake Ornament die out of white card stock and pressed it into a Versamark ink pad, making sure to ink the die cut well.  I sprinkled Silver embossing powder over the sticky inked side and then heat embossed the die.  It gave the die cut such a nice finish.  I then cut a Memory Box Classic Ornament die out of the same Bo Bunny Mistletoe Collection paper that I used for the background and glued it behind the Snowflake Ornament. that I used for the background and glued it behind the snowflake ornament.

I cut two Impression Obsession Pine Branch branches, out of a dark green card stock.  I glued one down and then looped a piece of silver cord through the second before gluing it on top but slightly offset of the first die cut.  I offset the branches to create more depth and texture.  I curled up many of the pine needles to add a realistic look.

I tied a bow in the silver cord and then tucked the other end behind the ornament that I popped up using Joy! Foam Pads.

I should probably have done it earlier, but I stamped the Inky Antics Sentiment from the Bird Bath and Feeder stamp set, and then glued all of the card layers in place.  The top white panel was also popped up higher using Joy! Foam Pads to add extra interest.

Last, I cut an Impression Obsession Bird out of red card stock and nestled him between some pine needles to go with the sentiment.  Classy Cards 'n Such carries a similar set of bird dies in the store called Memory Box Resting Birds.

Thanks for looking and I can't wait to see your challenge entries!

Snowy Wreath

Hello Friends! Mindy with you today, sharing a snowy Christmas Wreath card I enjoyed playing with this week. It is an assembled wreath, with lots of tiny pieces, but once the pieces are cut it is easy to put together.

The background paper was a scrap of Fancy Pants Christmas pad, I had left on my desk.  The colors were so soft and frosty, I decided to use it for the theme of my card.

I started by cutting the Twig Wreath from Impression Obsession, as the base of my wreath. I used my favorite Joy! Large Foam Pads to attach it to the card front. I then took some Cryogen White Curious Metallic card stock, and plain white card stock, and cut the New Ponderosa Pine Sprig die from Dee's Distinctively Designs FIVE times. There are three different size sprigs in this die set, and when they are all cut it is very easy to glue them to the base to form a beautiful circular wreath.

For embellishment I adhered various snowflake sequins, Baby Pearls- White, and a die cut bow to add a bit of sparkle to my wreath. I also found a strip of Ivory Metallic stock that I had embossed with the Crowned Medallion embossing folder border strip from Anna Griffin, and added it to the printed ribbon embellishment on the paper. 

I really enjoy making frosty, snowy cards for the holidays because we don't see much snow down in South Texas where I live. I hope you have a snowy, happy Christmas wherever you are!

Merry Christmas

Hi, Joy here today.  This week's challenge at Classy Cards 'n Such is to use Christmas Die Cuts.  I'd like to show how you can make your die cuts as little ornaments.   Let's get started.  Here is my card.

First from white card stock die cut 4 of the medium ornaments from the Spellbinders die set called 2012 Heirloom Ornaments -- which is on SALE!  If you use the coupon code Joy-10, you will get an additional 10% off -- now that's a deal! 

Now cut 8 of the smaller ornament out of white card stock. Stamp 1 of the medium die cut ornaments with the medium stamp, and 2 of the smaller ornaments from the JustRite set called Noel Christmas Ornaments, and color with your favorite markers. I used Copics.

Using a small drop of Art Institute Adhesive, and spreading with a paint brush, glue 4  die cuts to each other ending with the stamped one on top. You will then have a thick, but not heavy paper ornament.  Coat the top colored ornament with an even thin even layer of the Art Institute Adhesive, and Sparkle 'n Sprinkle Crystal Ice Ultra Fine Glitter.  Some gold twine was attached, and then the ornaments were put on some of the paper from  Authentiques's Tradition Christmas paper. I put the year on the back of the ornament.

Why not join the challenge at Classy Cards 'n Such.  You could get a jump on your Christmas cards and maybe win that nice prize!  Go to the Classy Cards 'n Such blog and look at the details.
