Challenge

The challenge this week at my Card Camp Yahoo Group is to make a card with three different shapes on it. This is my card for the challenge.

I cut and embossed a long rectangle, circle and lacy square from Spellbinders and a butterfly from a Martha Stewart punch and inked the edges with Antique Linen Distress Ink. From the DP I used the next smallest circle die and  a Parisian Accents die. A few half pearls and the card was done!

Ribbon!

As those of you who follow my blog have probably noticed that I very rarely use ribbon on a card. Mostly because I never seem to have the right color even though I do have a fair amount of ribbon. So I am very proud of myself for using ribbon today! This card was inspired by a card in a gallery I saw on Splitcoast Stampers.

I used a Fleur de lis die combined with Labels 13. After cutting and embossing the smaller label I then used a small Cuttlebug embossing folder for the center sentiment and used the little cut out bits from the die and half pearls. Don't throw away those little bits from the dies they can be used in all kinds of ways!

Just Because......

 The image I used on this card is a digi, Faith, from Sugar Nellie. I colored her with pencils and them cut her out with Spellbinders Shapeabilities Contemporary Hearts die. The sentiment is a $1 stamp with Spellbinders Fancy Tags.

Parisian Accents and Pearls

Wow I didn't realize how long it has been since I posted! I have cards made just not photographed and shared.

This card was made with the Spellbinders Shapeabilities Parisian Accents dies and Nestabilities Labels 13. The DP is from a 6"x6" pad from Prima called Fairy Flora. It really does have some pretty papers in it.

Positive/Negative

Can you be both positive and negative at the same time? Probably not but your cards can!

I recently purchased the Spellbinders Shapeabilities Parisian Accents set and wanted to see what I could do with it using all the dies in the set. In my post yesterday I used one of the dies tucked behind a label. The die I used is the same die that I have used for this card.
I began by cutting out and embossing the shape from a square piece of card stock. I used the positives on the corners and saved the tiny arrowhead shapes. he panel is raised with dimensional tape and then I glued the arrowheads down onto the DP. A square cut with a Nestie and a couple of Martha Stewart butterflies and I was all done!
I am going to experiment with the rest of the set now!

Pretty Sweet Peas

My sweet peas stamp was still out on my table....I am bad about cleaning and putting stamps back...I wait until I have a few and clean them all at once. As the stamp was already out I decided to use it again.

I used  Martha Stewart Punch Around the Page Deco Flowers for the border.... I have also seen it called Vintage Flowers. After stamping the sweet peas I used a Spellbinders labels 14 to cut it out and then used a smaller label with a Spellbinders Shapeabilities Parisian Accents behind it. A piece of satin ribbon and half pearls finished it off.

Are you looking?

I just love this digital stamp from Mo Manning. I love the way the little girl has one eye open to see if anyone is paying attention to her sulking!

This was a pretty simple card to make. After printing and coloring the image I cut and embossed it with a Nestabilities labels 4 die and before removing it from the die I used chalk around the edge. Using the same die I traced around the outside edge onto the turquoise. card stock and cut it out with scissors. Behind the image is a Shapeabilities fancy tags. I also used a Martha Stewart edge punch and a Cuttlebug folder.
