Merry Christmas

Merry Christmas to all and your families!  This card was created for the Belli Challenge and the theme is Christmas.  I love Christmas and the BEST time is when I spend it with my sister.

To create this card I stamped "Snowfall Background" by JustRite® Papercraft onto dark purple with Versamark and embossed with white embossing powder.  My sentiment and image is from "Sparky the Snowman" (retired).  I colored the snowman with Copic markers.  The frame was created using "Opulent Ovals" by Spellbinders® PaperArts.  My finishing touch is a white button snowflake and light purple pearls.

Belli Challenge #184 - Candy

The theme for the Belli Challenge is Candy.  I just got back from my sister's Darsie house in NY.  The temperature there was from 55 to 30 degrees.  I come back to Minnesota and the temperature is from -0 to a warm 16 today!  So this much of hot cocoa will be the best thing ever today to warm me up!

To create this fun gift, purchase a clear mug and add hot cocoa to the bottom of a clear bad.  Insert into mug and next add miniature chocolate chips and crushed peppermint candy canes.  Tie with a red satin ribbon and bow.  The sentiment is a retired JustRite® Papercraft "Something Sweet Set".  The frame was created using JustRite® Papercraft "Nested Madellion Labels".

CAS Christmas Cards with Stamp Simply

I'm so excited to be Guest Designing for The Stamp Simply Ribbon Store. I've loved the vast selection of ribbons, stamps and paper pads for a long time, and drool each time Sharon adds new products! The ribbons are luxurious, and are so affordable.

Today, I've created three Clean and Simple cards using the new Anna Griffin Emerald Forest paper pad with matching sentiment/floral stickers. I can tell you that doing CAS cards is quite outside my box, but I'm liking them!

This pretty card was created using an Anna Griffin Poinsettia Sticker with Spellbinders® Paper Arts Curved Borders One and a sentiment from JustRite® Papercraft's Antique Christmas Tags One.

This card uses Spellbinders M-Bossabilities Dainty Dots - Side B with Anna Griffin Sentiment Stickers and a tiny Gold Metallic String bow for accent.

My last card worked up in less than five minutes with simple rectangle pieces and an Anna Griffin Christmas Tree sticker topped with a gold star.

Belli Challenge #183 - Thank You

The theme for the next two weeks over at the Belli Challenge - Thank You.  I would love to thank my greatest friend.  This person is so special to me, has been through a lot with me and visa versa!  The love and friendship is unbelievable.  Not a day goes by that I don't think of this person.  So courageous, honorable, sarcastic, funny, considerate and the BEST friend I have.  Of course, she is gonna say gross when she reads this post, but I am MOST thankful for my sister/friend Darsie Bruno!!

I created the roses with Rose Creations and the swirls were made with Floral Flourishes, both by Spellbinders® PaperArts.  The beautiful sentiment is Mix & Match Sentiments by JustRite® Papercrafts. The designer papers are from Gathering by Authentique.  My border edge is MS Doily punch.  The finishing touches are two pearls in the center of the roses.

Sisters

I created this card with my sister Darsie in mind!  She is the most talented artist in this papercrafting world that I am proud to know!  She inspires me to try new things and go out of my box, which is hard for me. Here is to the greatest sister I am lucky to have.

So I created the flowers using the holly leaves from Holly Motifs (retired) by Spellbinders.  I cut out the leaves multiple times and colored the back of the card stock to get the blended look.  I glued the pieces together to create a rose flower.  Then I cut out more leaves on green card stock for the leaves under the flower.  The frame around the sentiment is Standard Circles and Scalloped Circles by Spellbinders® PaperArts.  The sentiment is from Mix & Match Sentiments by JustRite® Papercrafts.  The doily edge was created using MS punch.  The designer papers are True Love by Basic Grey.

JustRite Papercraft Friday Challenge - WOW - White On White

This turned out to be so elegant and festive for the upcoming Holidays.  Over at the JustRite® Papercraft Friday Challenge, the theme is WOW - White On White.  This is hard for me, but I gave it a shot and I love it!

The background frame was created using the largest Majestic Labels Twenty-Five and was glued to white glitter paper.  Next I embossed the center cut out with the next die.  On white glitter paper I cut and embossed with the third and fourth Majestic Labels Twenty-Five and the oval was made with Radiant Rectangle, both by Spellbinders® PaperArts.  I cut and embossed with white embossing powder the poinsettia from "Festive Poinsettia", the sentiment is also from the same clear stamp set by JustRite® Papercraft.  The white pearls were added to the oval and the center of the poinsettia.  Next, add tulle and wedding sprigs and this project is complete.
