Creative Color Challenge #13

Hi Everyone, 

I hope everyone enjoyed their weekend and especially Sunday/Father's Day. 

We had an extremely relaxing weekend even through it was busy with Taekwondo Belt Ceremony on Saturday.  After that, we found sometime to enjoy some music at a Blues Festival.   We enjoyed some funnel cake, Mexican and Mediterranean food and cool refreshing drinks. 

Win Win!!  It was exactly what my hubby wanted to do.  

As far as my Dad, I do miss him a lot.  They are now living in California and it's hard for us to visit as often as we would like.  We do call them and sometimes skype.   

LOVE you DAD!!

Today I'm here with another Creative Color Challenge #13 for you all. 

Archana wanted to try something different for her team this week.  She asked us to come up with a color pallet and challenge.  We all happily agreed. 

This week Claudia had a great color pallet and challenge for us. 

Here is Claudia's color pallet for us: 

Vanilla, Mint Green and White

We also had to add a butterflies. 

Our sponsor this week is Lacysunshine.

I chose the digi called lupita:

 Simply Adorable!

Thank you Lacy Sunshine.  I had a hard time choosing. They are all so cute. 

Now here is my card:

I trying my very best to add flowers to my cards.  I'm not very good at but as do it more I will get it sooner or later. 

The base is a 5x5 size card.  I'm not sure how I'm going to mail it out but its bigger than that with the butterflies and circle extending out.  I used pattern paper from Crate Paper called " Oh Darling".  I also use the same paper for the butterflies.  I cut out the butterflies with my new Tim Holtz on the edge die called "Butterflight".  I have seen other ladies use this die this way so I had to try it out on this card.  I then added some white crochet and ribbon trim on the top, below the butterflies.  I colored my image with my copics (if you want to know the colors let me know by commenting down below).  I cut her out with my new Diemond Dies Nesting Circles die set.  I love this set as it has 20 dies total and they perfect for layering and matting.  Now for my flower arrangement.  I used some crochet doiles from Nica (Simplyshimmeryscraps).  I cut out some mint green swirls from Cheery Lynn dies called Fanciful Flourish mini.  I cut them up and tucked them here and there.  I added some white, pink, and cream flowers that I got from my friend Divine (itsalldivine).  Then I added some white ribbon rolled flowers from Michaels.  I distress the edges with vintage photo distress ink.  Lastly, I add some pearl trim for the antenna for the butterflies.  

I truly enjoy making this card and I hope you all like as well.  Stop on by Creative Color Challenge's Blog to enter in on the fun.  Plus check out the other design team members creations too.  They are all amazing.  

Have a great Tuesday and the rest of your week.

Best DAD Ever!!

Hi Everyone, 

Today, I'm here to share my card to my Hubby for Father's Day.  

It's another clean but simple card kind of week. 

Here is my card:

It's an A2 size card (4-1/4 x 5 - 1/2).  So, I used black cardstock from Darice.  I then used some pattern paper from Recollections - Black Mustaches.  Then I added some mustache stickers that I got from Target.  I used some of my Shape extras from my last cards.  I distress the edges on the pattern paper and cogs (Spellbinders) die cut.  I stamped the sentiment with Rangers Archival Ink - Jet Black. The stamp is from Studio G 2010.  I cut a tie out with my Memory Box Die - Family Ties with blue cardstock.   Love it. 

I also added more cardstock and pattern paper inside the card.  

Thanks everyone for stopping by today.  I hope you all like my card and comment down below.  

I would like to hear what you all think. 

Thanks again!

Hugs,

Father's Day Cards 2014

Hi friends, 

Today, I'm here to share my 2014 Father's Day Cards. 

It's just around the corner and this year cards are not dimensional.  It is clean and simple.  Not even one pop dot to add dimension.  I wanted to be flat for a change. 

I'm also entering both for a challenge on Youtube.  

Carol from OneHappyCraftyChick is having a Clean and Simple Card Challenge on her Channel.  I thought these cards would go well with the theme.  Please check her out.

Here it is:

I love the gears and the paper I used  And the distress sure adds a lot to this card.  Don't you think?  

This is an A2 size card (4 - 1/4 x 5 - 1/2 card).  I used pattern paper from DCWV - The Timeless Type.  I cut the gears out of blk and kraft card stock.  I used the Spellbinders Cogs and Donna Salazar Sprinkly Sprockets.  Love that time.  I added some distress ink Vintage Photo and Walnut Stain to the pattern paper, sentiments, and also the gears.  I used stamps from TPC Studio and Studio G.  Punched out the circles with my Creative Memories circle punch that I have had for years.  An oldie but goodie, right?

I just love the simplicity of the card.  

Thanks Everyone for stopping by today.  I hope you all had a great Monday and perfect start to your week. 

Hugs,

Another Gorjuss Girl Card for a Friend

Hi everyone,  

Happy Friday!!  TGIF!!

Anyway, today I have another card for you to share.  It's another gorjuss girl image that I used to embellished this premade card. 

check it out:

This image is called "I gave you my heart".  I colored her with my copics.  I added some metal flowers with black pearls to the centers.  I got the flowers from Monica (Scrappin4myboys).  I added a punched border I had extra of to the one side.  I also used some grey paper from the 7gypies paper called "Trousseau" to mat the image.  I hope you like it.   

Thanks everyone for stopping by today.  

Have a great Friday and a wonderful weekend.

U Rock Birthday Card!!

Hi Everyone, 

Happy Memorial Day!  

Today, I'm here to share a card I just created for my Great Nephew! 

He turns 6 years old.

As some  of you know I always struggle with masculine/boy cards.  This time I didn't struggle as much and to me it's pretty cool! 

Here it is:

I absolutely love this card.  It's so boyish, doesn't it? 

I used the paper from 7gypies called Off the Wall.  This is a 5x5 card base.  I colored a Greeting Farm image from the "Later Sk834" set with my copics.  I paper piece his clothing with the pattern paper and kraft cardstock.  I then added some square brads from my stash.  I stamped a "U Rock" sentiment from my dollar stamps. I cut the sentiment out of my Labels 1 Spellbinders Nestibilities die.  I used a paper clip from my stash to add a crystal heart charm.  Even though I have never met my nephew I do {heart} him a bunch.

Inside I added more of the pattern paper and also a strip of black chipboard.  I stamped a dollar stamp "Happy Birthday".  I also stamped the Greeting Farm image with no coloring.  I have seen people do this and I had to do it too. I really like how that turned out.

Thanks everyone for stopping by today.  I hope I hear from you all on what you think of it.

Have a great holiday and I will be back soon with another card.

Please stop by Creative Color Challenge Blog.  There is still time to enter your cards.  Last Day is Monday, June 2nd.  Come on over!!

Gorjuss Girl Card

Hi my crafty friends, 

Yesterday, I created an easel card for no reason.  I sort of created two gorjuss girls at the same time and I didn't want the other girl to go to waste. LOL

So, I created another color.  I don't know who I will give this to yet.  

 Here she is:

I love these stamps.  I'm going to start making more of them.  

 I used an A2 top fold card.  I made an easel card for this one.  I added more of that 7gypies Trouseau papers.  I love that pad.  Added a paper doily.  I added lace from my girl Divine.  I also added some flat back pearls.  Then I added some silk roses from Michaels and a strand of pink pearls from my girl Divine.  Thanks so much Divine.  Lastly, added some rosette trim from Divine with some flat back pearls.  Love it.  Cut out a spellbinders ticket die to add my sentiment and viola!!  Done!

Love it. 

What do you all think?  I added a Gorjuss girl and colored her with my copics.  Pop dotted her up.  

I love this card. 

Thanks guys for stopping by today.  Please let me know what you think or what I can do better.  I love comments.  

Thanks, 

Hugs,
