Floating Image

Today I made another fall card for another challenge.  This one was for Papertrey Ink and the challenge was to have a floating image in a window.  I just love this Leaf Prints stamp and die set.  It's an old one of theirs but new to me this year and I can't stop making fall cards with it.  Hope you like it too. 

Happy Mail Challenge 2

This card was made for the second Happy Mail Challenge over at Big Picture Classes.  The challenge was to use two different sized circles on your card.  I hope you can see the embossed circles behind the tree.  Didn't photo very well.  I feel like I'm behind because I'm still making fall cards and everyone else is on to Christmas cards. 

Big Picture Challenge

I made this card for a challenge at the Big Picture Classes.  Stacy Julian is doing a 365 but with cards.  This project is more about sending the cards or hand written notes to someone every day for a year!  I already send a card once a week to my husbands grandma who is in a nursing home so I decided to bump up my card production and sending.  I haven't sent a card every day but almost every day since the project started.  My goal is to at least send a card to someone besides Grandma once a week and I have gone way over that.  It's amazing how many birthdays there are. ha ha Anyway, this was a color challenge with black, red, teal, and gray.  I was very excited to use my new memento gray ink on this project.  I think it turned out nice.  Off to the mailbox with this card.

Stiching on Stamps

Todays PTI challenge was to stamp an image and then stich around it.  I love sewing and use my machine a lot but have not gotten out the needle and embrodery thread for a while so this was fun.  I used the hexagon set and stamped the images and then sewed right around the yellow ones.  It was really fun. 

PTI Sketch Challenge

Today I had some time to make cards and needed some inspiration so I used one of the PTI sketches to make this card.  I just got the button set and couldn't wait to use it.  I love anything sewing. 

Layers

This weeks Papertrey challenge was to make a flat card and then to make the same card and add layers.  It was a fun challenge and I usually like lots of layers but today I like my flat card the best.  I used the Faith and Hope set along with the coordinating ribbon die.  The first card is totally flat and then the second card I just added stickles.  The third card has pop dots, ribbon, layered paper, and stickles. 

Bunny Ears Flower

Long time no post - Today I am making a card for Papertrey's challenge to make a flower with die that isn't a flower. I thought this was going to be hard but when I sat down at may messy scrap table there was my new bunny ear dies still out laying around just waiting to be put away and don't you know they looked like the perfect petals so it was easier than I thought. I stamped the paper with a jar filler and heat embossed then cut them out and glued them down.
