Teen Fashionista Cards

Went away for the night with a girlfriend and was on a creative roll! One of my lovely daughters asked me to make her teacher some cards for a going away present. The teacher is a student teacher and her last day is December 4th. So with papers, stamps, and other fun stuff that came along for the ride, I was able to make 6 of these cute cards! Kris gave me some older Anna Griffin dimensional stickers- these very girly ones, and I was able to use all but 2 of them on these cards. The papers I coordinated with them are from MM, the Sabrina line. And don'tcha love the stamps?! They are from CTMH "be yourself" and they worked perfectly! DD was very happy with the cards and I have 3 extras I am giving to my hairdresser today for a small token of appreciation. And a big shout out goes to Cute Card Thursday for the Teen Terror challenge! These would be perfect for any teen!

sketchy saturday

Welcome to the unscripted challenge #32 sketch. I used my cricut to cut out the flower (aka snowflake) for my winter themed card. Used the last of my organdy white ribbon (yeah!), CTMH button and sentiment, K&Co rhinestone complete this card. Reminisce scraps. Kris RAK'd me with some glitter glue which I broke out and added around the snowflake and the tag to give that icy winter feeling.

bobunny sketch challenge

Surfing (or blurfing) the other day, I ran across another contest sponsored at Bo Bunny. I like the sketch, found it a bit tough at times- changed my pictures twice! I used a variety of small items to make this 'pop'! All bobunny papers from the Candy line. Bobunny swirl chipboard (yummy colors to choose from here too!) Misc black stickers, misc buttons with twine, flowers from bobunny and prima, ctmh rhinestones, misc ribbon tape. Maybe someday soon I will have some NEW bobunny products to play with (hint hint DH for christmas!!)

monochromatic

entering this card in the Monochromatic challenge over at Gingersnap Creations. The paper and die cut stickers are Reminisce papers, white/silver glitter. Simple sentiment from Stampin'Up! Silver ribbon from Mike's finishes off the card!

Sketchy Saturday

Welcome to another sketch challenge brought to you by Unscripted Sketches! I love this weeks sketch (then again, I love them all...Hehehe!) There are so many possibilites in which to create a project. Flip it, turn it, rotate it- as long as it retains the original thought, make it yours!

Christmas is a few weeks away and I am busy making cards for my friends and family. What is surprising to me, is the amount of winter/holiday themed paper that I have. So, in my quest to purge, I found a few sheets of this beautiful Reminisce paper that will make a few wonderfully easy cards. The sentiment is actual vellum that I cut, attached with vellum adhesive (love this tombow tape!) and added some mini pearls by basic grey. Punched a few snowflakes with MS punch, there ya go!

thinking outside the box....

bobunny has a sketch challenge going on this week. All 3 of these cards use the same sketch as the foundation! this is my second entry- but...... if you read the instructions you are to make a Christmas card, use majority bobunny papers/products, and try to think outside of the box. so, going through my stash of wonderful papers last night, i came across this old, but beautiful collection called Romance. So, black goes with everything, right? and what better way to make the cards seem christmas-y than by adding red as an accent! So, bringing out my trusty cricut, christmas cheer, i cut out the holly and the ornaments in black cardstock. used red glitter glue to accent the ornaments to make them sparkly and added red gemstones to the holly berries. these small touches really made the cards much more elegant than if i had left them alone.


deets: bobunny romance dots and stripes dp paper
close to my heart sentiments: holly berries, christmas scripts
red glitter glue, black marker, misc ribbons (btw: the black ribbon is from a gift box wrapped at talbots!)
black, tan and off white cardstock.

thanks for stopping by today!

I love bobunny papers. unfortunately, it is not easy finding the collections in my area and i must travel a good distance to get it. but it is well worth the drive!

The sketch on bobunny was a fun one to use. this will be my first entry into the challenge, using Jack Frost Collection. I just love blue and red together to create a wintery feel!
