Warm Wishes Christmas Card

Hello everyone!

Happy "day-before" Thanksgiving!!

I have a few projects to share that I've been working on. 

My first project is a card that's mostly white with pops of red, which was submitted at Soul Scrappers for their Negative Punched Image Card Challenge (CC23).  

The challenge is to use punches or dies to create a negative image.

Here's my Christmas card:

Sorry for the bad lighting... It's a gloomy, rainy day here.

For those of you who don't already know this... I LOVE making all white cards!  They're my fave!

But this time, I added pops of red on my Christmas card.

Supplies used:

Paper: Colorbok, White Cardstock

Ink: Red

Cuttlebug Embossing Folders

Sizzix Embossing Folders

Ribbon

Mitten Punch

Holly Leaf

As you can see, I used the mitten punch on the lower right of my card.  I then covered a small piece of paper with ribbon and placed it behind the punched image and added a holly leaf.

After embossing the sentiment, I lightly pressed a red ink pad on top of it to highlight the raised areas.

Another angle on my card.

Hope you like it!

Thanks so much for stopping by!

Sweet

Hi there,

It's a very windy Saturday here... with a dusting of snow on the ground.

It's inevitable... winter is here!

From my toasty warm house I have a layout to share that was submitted at Colorful Creations for their Sketchy Tuesday Challenge (STNOV).  You can see the challenge here.

The sketch:

  

And here's my layout titled, "Sweet."

I snapped this photo of our daughter just as we entered "The Alamo" in Texas in January.  She was able to go out and about with us seeing the sights.

Supplies used:

Paper: My Mind's Eye

EK Success Border Punch

Flowers

Cuttlebug Embossing Folder

Pink Ink

Gems & Swirly Bling: Home Made

Chipboard Page Title

The half circles and whole circle were embossed and ink lightly rubbed across them to enhance the embossing.

 

A few flowers were added over the circle and banners with some swirly bling.  The page title is chipboard and glitter.

A closer look.

Another cluster of flowers and bling were added on the half circle on the lower portion of my page.

Thanks so much for stopping by!

Boy Scout Camp

Hi there,

I have a layout to share that was submitted at Sketches 4 All for their November Color Combo (NOVCOLOR) Challenge.  You can see the challenge here.

The color palette:

And here's my layout:

Andrew and I at Boy Scout Camp.  Seven days of non-stop fun!  Even more special because Andrew was there with me!  We had a LOT of fun times!

Supplies used:

Paper: Colorbok, Other

Stencils

Walnut Ink Mist

Stampin' Up! Border Punch

Distressing

Circle Punch

Star Punch

Ribbon

Cardstock Die Cut

Sketch: Page Maps (Feb 2012)

A couple of ribbons were layered over the punched border.  Just below that another ribbon with buttons on it.

This huge cardstock die cut was cut from packaging.  Journaling was added above that and beside the photo.  I embossed the tan cardstock on one side of this strip.

Well.... this is a bit blurry!  I used two different stencils to mist on the background paper and the cardstock on the right of the photo.

Most of the paper edges were distressed.  I added a circle and stars to the right of the photo.  Just had to add the vellum "Where is North?" too!  :)

Thanks so much for stopping by!
