Snowflake Miracles

SCS Inspiration Challenge #203: Anthropologie

I chose this adorable Sparkle Garden Hat.

I decided to use snowflakes instead of flowers. I used this sentiment from Unity's June Kit of the Month kit because I believe that it truly is a wonderful miracle & creation of God that each snowflake can be different. (I'm sure scientists would disagree with me, but that's OK!)

Stamps: June '09 KOTM, Merry & Bright Winter Wishes (Unity)
Paper: SU Kraft & chocolate chip, unknown dp
Ink: chocolate chip, close to cocoa
Accessories: liquid pearls, kraft taffeta ribbon, chocolate chip grosgrain

A Penny Black Patched Up Halloween

Ways to Use It #241 - Patched Up

Instead of using scraps of paper or fabric, I chose to use an image that looks patched up. I've had this Wish RAK image colored for awhile and I'm so glad to be finally using it!

Stamps: main image (Penny Black), Scary Skeleton sentiment (Stampin' Up)
Paper: green galore, black, white
Ink: black, Copic markers
Accessories: CB spider web EF, brads, ribbon, SU small oval punch
Wish RAK: CB spider web EF, Penny Black image

Things that make you say, Hmmmmm.

I am unable to upload or link any cards to my blog, this evening. It's not that the feature isn't working. It just isn't even an option! So, I'll have to add links to these fine stampers later.

The versatility of the jumbo candle!

It's the jumbo candle again!
Can you believe this is the same candle that I used on yesterday's birthday candle?!?
I love this candle! I am so thankful that Cathy shared that with us on her blog. You can see her card here.


DRS Designs Stamps: Jumbo Candle (F006), Silhouette Holly (F002), Silent Night greeting (D484)
Paper: white
Ink: black, Copic markers (R27 cadmium red, Y35 maize, Y38 honey)
Accessories: organza ribbon, Diamond Stickles, dimensionals



I used both thin and thick dimensionals to create lots of dimension. The Stickles are on the flame, the top of the "melted" wax, and on the berries. I wish I had thought to add it to the center of the leaves.

Jenny Giraffe's 1st Birthday

This week's sponsor for the Creative Card Crew challenge blog is DRS Designs! The challenge is to make baby/kids cards.

I used Cathy's idea with the candle and paired it with Jenny Giraffe. Since I'm very limited on baby stamps, I'm hoping this passes as a child's 1st birthday card. What do you think?

Paper: more mustard, real red, white, bashful blue dsp

Featured Stamper Challenge: dancerriley

SCS Featured Stamper Challenge: dancerriley

I spent so much time in Riley's gallery. So much to choose from! Here's Rliey's gorgeous card that inspired me.

* I used a similar layout, images, and colors.
* I had to leave off the pleated layer (bummer) because my scalloped circle turned out to be way too big.
* I used what I had for the embossed BG.
* I added some brads.
* I even used a bow!

I hardly ever make bows. I think it I made it too big. I have no idea how this could ever go in an envelope. LOL!

Stamps: Unity's October KOM & Stylin' Stars
Paper: chocolate chip, white, certainly celery, regal rose
Ink: Palette Burnt Umber, regal rose, choclate chip, Copic marker RV10
Accessories: satin ribbon, CM custom cutting system, SU circle & scallop punch, brads, dimensionals
Wish RAK: CB Swiss Dots, large scallop circle
