ANYTHING GOES!

Just be sure to use a stamp sold in the 7 Kids College Fund Store in order to be eligible for the prize and top 3!!

Those of us on the Design Team will be switching things up a bit. Even though our challenge will be "Anything Goes", we decided to add a twist of WHITE ON WHITE for our cards today!! So be sure to head over to the 7 Kids Challenge Blog to see all the creations from my fellow DT Sisters!!

 

On my card today I used this super cute image called Little Darlings Trimming The Tree from Saturated Canary. I know, I know...it's a Christmas card, but I'm always late so you'll see a few for Christmas cards from me this coming week. She was stamped on X-Press It Blending Card with Memento Tuxedo Black Ink and colored with Copics.

Okay, I did cheat a little and added some kraft cardstock to the mix. But the rest is white cardstock with some Walnut Stain Distress Ink around the edges. I even pulled out my newly purchased CHEVRON Embossing Folder from Crafters Companion. I LOVE the 6x6 size since that's the card size I make most often! I used some Stampendous Frantage Aged Taupe Embossing Enamel around the image. To make the poinsettia, I used my favorite Spellbinders Poinsettia Creations Shapabilities die. I curled the petals before assembling and added Melissa Frances Pewter pearls to the center. The lace was in my stash.

Happy Tuesday and New Years Eve everyone! So do you have big plans to bring in the New Year? We don't do much as far as celebrating. We'll have a low key night with my family and our little boy (who's getting to be not-so-little anymore). Generally we stay home and just hang out. I don't like to be out on the roads with crazy, drunk people! Whatever your plans, I hope you all stay safe and wish you many blessing in the upcoming year!

 

Today the design team is showcasing some of the BLD Winter images. I used the super adorable Winter Brian from By LORi Designs. He's printed on X-press It Blending Card and colored with Copics.

I think my dps are from DCWV. The white ribbon is from Walmart. The top snowflake border is from Joy Crafts and the crystal bling is from my stash.

Be sure to head over to the By LORi Designs Digi Shop to see the fabulous creations from my fellow DT Sisters and to order your CUTE BLD Stamps!! You'll definitely want to stock up on these adorable winter digi stamps....I have a feeling there's more cold weather to come.

 

Have a great week and be sure to check back here throughout the week for more cards. It's a busy week for me! :)

 

Hugs,

Dollie with Bow is Berry Sweet at The Greeting Farm!

Happy Tuesday everyone! I'm back today to share a card I made using one of the new digis at The Greeting Farm called Dollie with Bow. I think she's adorable and an excellent choice for Christmas or Valentine's Day cards, or even birthday cards....pretty much any occasion!! I paired her with elements from the Berry Sweet Print and Cut File....perfect match I think!! :)

Now, the great thing about the cutting files is that you don't have to own an electronic cutting machine to use the files. They come with a PDF file so you can print them and fussy cut the various designs using scissors, which is what I did on my card today. AWESOME, right?!!

The dps are from Carta Bella DEVOTED 6x6 paper pad....one of my favorite paper pads ever! The ribbon is from Martha Stewart. All the hearts and "This Way To Love" Arrow are part of the Berry Sweet Cutting File. I raised them on pop-dots for added dimension.

Here are my coloring details:

Skin: E000, E00, E01, E02, E11

TGF Farm Fresh Friday~ALL THAT SPARKLES!

Happy Friday everyone! We have an ice storm that moved into Texas so school was canceled for my little guy! I'm so glad we get to sleep in and I don't have to drive on the slick roads with crazy drivers!! I hope my friends and family in both Oklahoma and Texas stay safe!

Today starts a new Farm Fresh Friday Challenge! The theme for the week is: 

 

ALL THAT SPARKLES!!

How fun is that?!! For my card today I used a limited special stamp called Double Cupcake Anya. She was part of a set with the stamp and matching cupcake journal that was offered up on pre-order a few weeks ago. I didn't waste any time and snatched up the offer, which showed up in the mail this past week! LOVE her!!

My dps are from Carta Bella Devoted 6x6 Paper Pad. The red, glittery paper is from DCWV 12x12 Holiday Glitzy Glitter Stack. The banner and Sweet Sentiment were printed from The Greeting Farm Berry Sweet Print & Cut File.It comes with a jpeg file also so you can print and fussy cut, which I did because I was too tired to pull out my Silhouette. I also added Stickles to the banner pieces and the word Sweet. The flowers and lace came from my stash.

Little Miss Muffet~YOU'VE BEEN FRAMED!

Happy Thursday everyone! I'm back today to share my latest card as part of the Little Miss Muffet Design Team. If you haven't checked out the LMM Challenge Blog yet, then be sure to click HERE! To check out the LMM Store and do some shopping click HERE!! There are some CUTE and ADORABLE stamps available in digi and rubber!!

The challenge for the next two weeks is: 

 

YOU'VE BEEN FRAMED!!

(include a frame on your card/project)

I used the super adorable Swings 'n Slides BOOKS by Pollycraft! I've got lots of friends who love to read so that was my inspiration. I used to love to read, but not as much anymore. Not sure why though because when I find a great book I will stay up into the wee hours of the morning trying to finish it! Maybe that's why I don't start, LOL! 

 

I stamped her on X-Press It Blending Card and coloring her with Copics.

 

 Copics:

Skin: E000, E00, E01, E02, E11

Eyes: E43, E44

Hair: E44, E47, E49

Pink: R81, R83, R85

Black: C3, C5, C7

Book: E40, E41, E42

 

I bought the wood frame from Michaels this week and sprinkled it with Stampendous Shabby Pink Embossing Enamel. I attempted to heat it with my new heat gun and all that did was blow all the embossing powder everywhere. The wood was too thick to go over the toaster (which has been my embossing method lately, LOL!). So I decided to put it on a pan and stick it in the oven under the broiler!! My kitchen appliances are definitely coming in handy, hahahahaha! Just be sure to crack the oven door open and watch it....or you may have a fire on your hands! The script paper is from Authentique. I also embossed the edges of the paper and this time used my toaster. :)

 

The flowers, crystal stems, and Smile pin were in my stash and the pearls are from Recollections.

 Here are the rules to play along with us at the LMM Challenge Blog:

By LORi Designs~Winter Brian!

Happy Tuesday everyone! I can't believe Thanksgiving is already this week....WOWZERS!! I love the holidays, but man I felt like this year just flew by!! We are fortunate because we have family who don't live too far away so we'll definitely be spending Thanksgiving pigging out with our family. Last year my husband got really sick and we weren't able to leave the house. It was a pretty low-key event and he couldn't even eat that much. This year we are definitely making up for it! I'm going to need to eat salads for months after all the splurging that's already started!!

 

For the rest of the year we'll be showcasing Christmas images at By LORi Designs, which is fine with me since it's my favorite holiday! Making Christmas cards puts a smile on my face! Today, I'm showcasing a  new digi called Winter Brian from By LORi Designs. Winter Brian is awesome, adorable, and so much fun to color!! He's printed on X-press It Blending Card and colored with Copics.

My dps are from Echo Park 'Tis the Season 6x6 Paper Pad and Echo Park Reflections Christmas 6x6 Paper Pad. The poinsettia was made using the Spellbinders Poinsettia Creations Shapabilities. The ribbons are from my stash. The black oval frame was made using Spellbinder Floral Ovals Nestabilities.

 Be sure to head over to the By LORi Designs Digi Shop to see the fabulous creations from my fellow DT Sisters and to order your CUTE BLD Stamps!! You'll definitely want to stock up on the Christmas digis so you can get started on your cards...asap, haha!

A Creative Romance Challenge~VINTAGE!

Hello Creative Romantics!! Today starts a new challenge on the A Creative Romance Blog. I hope to see you all playing along with us. We have some great sponsors lined up so be sure to check us out!! You guys have been so supportive and we love seeing your amazing creations!!

 

The theme this time around is:

 

VINTAGE!

 

To inspire you all and get your creative juices flowing, our Design Team, The Chic Crafters, are sharing some magnificent creations. Be sure to check out all the amazing cards from my fellow DT members HERE!

 

So on to our prize...this time we are sponsored by The Ribbon Girls, with a fab voucher to spend with them :)

So be sure to link up your creations on the A Creative Romance Challenge Blog for a chance to win!!

For my card today I used Mini Tilda with Christmas Letters. Magnolia stamps always lend themselves well to a vintage style so I had to go way back and pull out my stash! :) My dps are from Authentique LOVELY 6x6 Paper Pad. The edges were distressed with Walnut Stain Distress Ink. Then I sprinkled Stampendous Frantage Taupe Embossing Enamel around the edges. The ribbon and metal corners are from my stash. The pearl swirls are from Recollections.

Don't forget, one lucky winner will be randomly selected for the prize and 3 entries will be selected to win our Paper Goddess badge. Isn't is so pretty?!

 

So what are you waiting for?!! Head over to A CREATIVE ROMANCE and link up your "VINTAGE" card! 

 

Have a great Friday and weekend!
Hugs,
Rosie :)
