Creative ELement Share

I did this card for a class as soon as this Mocha paper came out.  I love the way it turned out....the butterflies and the designed line were embossed with versamark and black embossing powder.  The background is in black ink.  The butterflies were cut out and popped up and folded.  Have a great day....

 

Always Card Share

Sorry...not the greatest picture.  This was embossed with versamark and white embossing powder...there are pearls added to the picture but that is difficult to see in the photo.  The white scalloped frame is 3 13/16.....I am not crazy about the bottom of the card but it works...lol...

Can't wait to see the retired list on Sunday....I wonder if SU will pick Concord for a new color...just my thought...lol.........am really looking forward to the new mini and catalog a lot more....Have a nice day.....

Mini tutorial for blossom punch mat/Type card share

It has been a day.....bees galore in my Craft House....had to call my regular exterminator....turns out that there is a bee hive in my rafters....finally came and sprayed the dust.  He hoped that it was a new one otherwise I will have  a smell of rotten honey.   Hope it hadn't been there too long...here's hoping..lol  Need to find someone who will caulk the area so it doesn't happen again...I could write a best seller on this house..lol

I had received a few inquiries concerning the mat on the purple print blossom punch on a card...here is the card

I believe that I cut this in thirds or in halves and cut out an extra third..

and added a couple of pieces until I liked the look.....the cleaner look can be had cutting the blossom in fifths.....

One of the cards from my class today and last Thursday was this type card..

.I love this card..it turned out well.   Someone at Leadership had the smile on the typewrite...thought that was very clever.  The typewriter is embossed with versamark and  black embossing powder and has dimensionals behind it...the paper is Eat Cake.  I used the rosette die and sponged with a black dauber.  The label piece is sanded.  Have a great day.....

Diane's creativity.....my downline

Diane is sssssoooo creative..she paints like you would not believe...it took a lot of asking for her to show me her paintings....she is a natural talent to say the least.in her painting.the water looks so real ...they are amazing to say the least.   She is the same waywith her cards....above are three of her cards...the last two are from the occasion mini notecard set....Have a great day...hugs...

Fun Fold .....case of Dawn's

Swapped with Dawn G at Leadership and had a hard time picking the hard I wanted....she is ssssssoooo good.....but this was a case....actually it is a direct copy....I just changed the paper and the colors...the card was perfect!!  Perfection can not be improved upon....lol..I believe Dawn has a video on this card..or at least the directions on her blog...I would attach the link but haven't learned that yet...lol  I used limeade and pool party and different enchantment paper but it is exactly the same card as Dawn's.....great gift card idea. I LOVE Dawn's bubbly personality...her utube videos are so much fun!!

LNS Challenge 168

This card is a case of another card I made for a swap at Monika's.  It is using the same technique and set.  The colors are whisper white and Not Quite Navy with white embossing powder. The banner is from the set Take it to Heart  and the words are from the stamp set, Loving Thoughts   The card below is the original card that I made.

On the original card I used the 1 3/4 circle punch and the pennant die.  The 1 3/4 JUST fits in the tea cup....if you have any space use a versamarker and then white powder to cover it up so you do not have any blank spaces.
