STV Inspiration Challenge Hop Dec. 17, 2013

This Inspiration picture is a real WOW
 and I had so many ideas and colors to choose from! Thank you Linda.  Hop along with us and leave comments.  One winner will win a grab bag full of Gina's stamps!

 I am so glad to have you visit, after seeing the gorgeous work that Joy  had for you.
 Look at this fabulous inspiration photo that Linda has chosen for out hop?  It is lovely!!! Here is the card I made for this Challenge Hop.  I used the stamp set names Blossom that is available from Gina K. Designs.  It created a beautiful way to add the glitter to get all colors on this card.

                                                                                       

I stamped my Gina K. Design image on White CS and popped it up onto a base of navy and pretty aqua cs, that was on my work table.
I added a piece of White Grosgrain ribbon from Gina K. Designs to tie it all together.  Thank you for stopping by today.  Now it is time for you to visit  Kay's page, for her gorgeous creation.

Family by MFP Dec. 12, 2013

Here is my card using the Family stamp set from Mark's Finest Papers.  What a fun set to work with, for all kinds of projects.

I used a Cuttlebug Folder , Herringbone, which makes it masculine, if need be, for the card front. I like the texture  A simple piece of back ribbon and a button, shows off the Family stamp I used.  I added a piece of black CS to the inside of this card, to make it even more stunning, along with an white piece for the sentiment!

                                                                                   

It is such a great idea that this stamp set was being shown today.  It is my daughter's 40th birthday.  I can hardly believe it, since it doesn't seem that long ago, that I celebrated that big birthday myself!

A CAS card for the Outlawz 12-7-2013 PAM challenge

This sure is a CAS creation, don't you agree? The sentiment is from my stash, as are the frame and the Christmas tree.  I ran the frame through an embossing folder and ran a gold ink pad over it, to gild the Dotted Swiss bumps. I added a few score lines to the top and the bottom of the card front, for more dimension.


 Thank you for visiting today!

Lot of Words-A New set from Mark's Finest Papers

I cannot believe December is here already.  I had so many Doctor Appointments and procedures this year, that the time has flown by.  The good news is that I am feeling better all the time, and getting back to being myself again.

My card today, uses the stamp set from Mark's Finest Papers called "Lots of Words".  This is a great set, that has a little bit of everything you might need.  I stamped this sentiment using Memento Black ink.  I added a little strip of embossing along with some colored ribbon and a little silk flower, to make a pretty simple, CAS card!
Thank you for stopping by today!
