October Crop Card

Hello everyone,

Like I've mentioned previously, I don't really craft cards for occasions like Halloween however in the case of the beginners class, I thought they would enjoy having one.  I also found some pretty cool Halloween paper in my stash that really works.

The printed papers are Debbie Mumm Harvest and Holidays.  The sentiment is Stampin' Up Delightful Dozen stamped in Tangerine Tango on Whisper White and highlighted with Sakura Copper Gelly Roll pen.  The ribbon is Craft Smart.  The embellishments are Kasiercraft black pearl strips.

This is a very simply card.  I didn't go overboard with layout or embellishments because I didn't want to distract from this great sheet of paper.  I may look through my stash for some larger embellishments because I think this particular application can handle something bigger.  I bet I'll find something!

I hope you enjoy this card and come back to SPI again soon.

OK so maybe I saved the very best for the very end. The sentiment of card sixteen is even more awesome one you see it in red on this super clean and simple card. Would that they all turned out so spectacularly.

Quick Christmas 1 & 2

Hello everyone,

Last week one of my girlfriends requested a set of Christmas cards for her son's daycare. It is getting rather late in the season so I decided to stick to a tried and true favourite, the one sheet wonder! I'll be posting the series over the next few days.

The patterned paper is Debbie Mumm Harvest & Holiday. The card bases are Bazzill white, Stampin' Up Real Red, Riding Hood Red and Certainly Celery, Close To My Heart Colonial White and a green of unknown origin.

This sentiment is My Favorite Things Merry & Bright stamped in Riding Hood Red on Whisper White and layered on Real Red.

This sentiment is also My Favorite Things Merry & Bright stamped in Riding Hood Red on Whisper White. The patterned paper is layered on Bashful Blue. The sticker is Crafts from the Dollar Store.

I'm really pleased with this entire series. I purposefully chose some really great paper and it worked even better than I'd hoped. It was the most important element as I wanted to keep this set quick, easy and inexpensive.

I hope you enjoy these cards and come back to SPI again soon.

Green Christmas

Hello everyone,

Does it ever feel wonderful to be carding again! Today's card uses Sunday's Card Positioning Systems sketch. It also fits today's 365 Cards challenge which is to create an elegant card; the Color Chef Challenge is to craft a tone on tone project; and Ooh La La Creations is looking for bling.

The card base is Recollections Pearlized Gold. The background paper is Debbie Mumm Harvest & Holiday. The vertical strip is DCWV Glitter card stock. The focal image, Stampin' Up Serene Snowflakes, is stamped in Early Espresso on a piece of Old Olive. The sentiment is Papertrey Ink Signature Christmas. The embellishments are Close To My Heart Bitty Sparkles.

I love this card. It is quite elegant and the bling adds the perfect amount of sparkle. I'm not sure I covered tone on tone very well; it seems perhaps more monochromatic but I love it anyway. The Serene Snowflakes set is one that I've loved using from the moment I got it and I love all the stamps in the set.

I hope you enjoy this card and come back to SPI again soon.
