orange sticker challenge

This card is made with a 3 dimensional sticker - gotta love them! I made it awhile ago, but it fit the SRM challenge of using stickers and the color orange really well! So, I thought I'd share it with you.

featured card!

I was very happily surprised to see my card featured on the Cards challenge blog today! Yippee!!! The card I made is the "Ten Little Fingers" card, and was part of the square card challenge. Here's the link to see other cards featuring squares:

Photoshop sentiment

Hello! Today's card was made with the Far East DCWV cardstock, embossed with the cuttlebug swirl and stamped with a Local King Rubber Stamp clear stamp. I had some paper left over from when I painted the background with red acrylic paints to give the paper more texture. I stamped the bird onto this paper to give the card more interest. I used a Recollections black metal brad for the bird's eye. Finally, I used Photoshop to insert a sentiment on the bottom of the card. Hope you like it!

Challenges:

Get Sketchy Challenge

Hi again! I was really inspired to craft today. This card incorporates two challenges. First I used the sketch from Get Sketchy Card Challenges (GS 21) and then I used the colours from The Color Dare: CD52 - only orange, olive green, chocolate chip brown and brocade blue.

Because I used scraps for this card, I don't remember who made the patterned paper.
emboss - cuttlebug (swirls)
stamp - All Night Media
flowers - Prima
brads - Recollections

Hope you like it! I had fun with these colors. :)

10 little fingers

Today's card is a submission for the Cuttlebug Spot Challenge. It called for the use of the number 10 in the card. This took some thinking to come up with a theme... finally I came up with the idea of "10 little fingers, 10 little toes".

patterned paper - The Slab by Provo Craft (first patterned paper I bought many years ago!)
ribbon - sold by spool
cardstock - dcwv card pack of 5 x 5 cards and envelopes
sticker - unknown as it was leftover from a previous project
embossing - swiss dots
sentiment - dymo label maker

happy day - mojo card week 122

First of all, thanks so very much for the very kind comments left for the cards I have made. They really make my day and I enjoy reading each comment. They are the highlight of my day to know that other crafters are looking at my cards and enjoying the creative effort put forth to make the card that I am showcasing.

I made this card with the goal to incorporate a sticker (I have a ton of stickers I haven't used!) and to try to follow the sketch so as to stretch my card making abilities.

I made this card with the sketch from Mojo Mondays Challenge for week 122 as the jumping point. I used a variety of supplies that I had on hand and tried to incorporate as many elements as I could to make a card that was making me create something that was different from my usual designs.

Sticker - Creative Imaginations by MarahJohnson
punches - Marvy Uchida - circle, scallop and corner punches
sentiment - Hero Arts
embossing - Cuttlebug swiss dots
ribbon - unknown source as it was in my grab bag of leftover ribbon
patterned paper - Far East stack by DCWV - lovely cardstock that is my absolute fave!

fun kids cards

Hiya! I've been making some more fun cards for kids. Birthday cards and some baby cards, too. Love using pink and blue for the colours and fun embellishments on these cards. Let me know what you think!
