Black & White Wedding Card

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!!!!!

Wow!  2014!!!!  How did that get here so fast?  I hope you all have a wonderful, blessed year!

We are ending the year with a new challenge over at Creative Craft Challenges, sponsored by

 

 and our theme is Anything Goes!

I made this black and white wedding card.

The silhouette is from Wedding cartridge, mounted on a Spellbinders mat.

I created this sentiment in MS Word and hand cut the banner.  I love this black ribbon with a little shiny gold thread running through it!  I picked that up from Wal-Mart.

The flocked paper is from K & Co. and I added a little bling from Paper Studio.

This stamp is from Hero Arts.

There you go!  Now come on over and join us!

Poinsettia Card

Here's another Christmas card!  I really like black and red together, it just looks so sharp!  

This poinsettia is from Beccy's Place, colored with Spectrum Noir markers and a little "fancy cutting".  I cut a circle from a scrap of some gold shimmer paper to mount onto a Spellbinder's cut.  The red paper is from  Paper Studio and I made a card base with black cardstock and finished it off with a bit of ribbon from Wal-Mart.  This card measure 4 1/4" square.

Family Ornament

Hello!  It's a cold, wet Saturday afternoon here...a perfect day to be in the recliner with an afghan on my lap and blogging about crafts!  

I wanted to share an ornament I made with an early picture of my parents.  

Snowflake cut with Christmas solutions cartridge from clear plastic, both sides sprayed with adhesive and covered in royal blue glitter.  I have two pictures back to back on each side of the snowflake and it's all hung with clear beading line.  The pretty glitter ribbon came from Wal-Mart.  I added some white glitter and crystal snow.  The glitter quickly attached to the picture, so it really sparkles!

That's all I have for today!  Thanks for stopping by!

Baseball Card Layout

Just wanted to quickly share this layout I made to showcase my friend's baseball cards.  She bought these particular cards because they are her husband's cousin.  The baseball diamond is from Paper Dolls for Everyday; the team logo was downloaded from the internet; the player, glove and baseball are from Sports Mania.   Project measurements - 22 x 26"

To save the integrity of the original cards, I kept them in the plastic protectors they were in and made copies of the back side.  One of the cards she had two of, so instead of copying the backside I used foam dots on just the corners.

Monochromatic Sympathy card

I found this card in my picture files that I hadn't shared yet.  I made this one for a friend who lost her Grandpa this Fall.  Very simple, but I thought it came out pretty.

 I used a Stampibilities background stamp on a scrap of paper in my stash.  The flower is three Paper Studio flowers held together with a brad from Bo Bunny.  I used a distressing tool on the edges of the paper, then inked it.  A white feather completes it.

The inside stamp is also from Stampabilites (I think!)  :0)

White on White Christmas

Hi!  Today's challenge at Creative Craft Challenges2 is "White On White Christmas".  Here's my entry:

 I used a Spellbinders  M-Bossibilities music embossing folder and added a little bit of white Stickles to highlight some spots.  The gem swirls are from Say It In Crystals. 

I

The sentiment is computer generated and cut out with a Spellbinder's die, then outlined with my silver paint pen.  The poinsettia is cut with the Christmas solutions cartridge.

This sentiment is a  Stampabilities rubber stamp and the snowflake/star is also from the Christmas solutions cartridge.
