Dry Embossing CFC #215

Last hurrah for Casual Fridays challenges and the end of creating Christmas cards for this season. I have loaded my card up on lots of dry embossing as that is what this challenge is all about!! So sad to see Casual Fridays challenges go. I have been entering into these challenges for many years and enjoyed them very much. All good things do come to an end I guess. My tall card features a variety of embossing folders and a Santa cut with my Silhouette. Nuvo drops for the berries and nose. Darkroom door stamps for the Ho Ho Ho. Check out all the details over at CASUAL FRIDAYS.
HAPPY NEW YEAR TO ALL!!

Casual Fridays #214 Inspiration challenge

Today's card is for the Casual Fridays challenge. You can check it out the details HERE This is the inspiration photo.

And here's my card. 

I used a Stripe Tim Holtz folder and the new Tin Tile embossing folder from SU and decked it up with some sponging and Nuvo dots. The Merry Christmas is a very old stamp set (no name) kind. Trees and the branches SU. 

Gold card for CFC #213

Shades of Gold is what my card today is all about. I'm entering into the challenge at Casual Fridays and you can see it HERE For my sentiment I used a background stamp from Stampin Up. Probably one of the first stamps I ever bought. The velum heart is simply dipped on the versamark ink and then I embossed that. I think it would be perfect for a birthday or wedding.

Winter Birthday card

I am sharing a card that I made for the Casual Fridays Challenge # 212 sketch challenge. Details HERE For my card I sponged some TH spun sugar into a masked rectangle to create a bit of a background for my snowflakes. Added some rhinestones and shimmery paint to the snowflakes to bling them up for a winter birthday card. Stamps are from SU. This is the sketch photo.

And here is my take on it.

Hearts and More Hearts

This is an entry for the challenge at Casual Fridays Challenge 

My card uses a Penny Black stamp "Purrfect" and embossing folder by SU. I colored the cat and some of the random hearts with copics. The hearts are also sparkled up with Wink of Stella (unfortunately can't see it on the photo)  to give them a sugary appearance.

Challenge CFC #181

My card this week is for the challenge at Casual Fridays

  I have made a sympathy card with the kraft and white. I stamped an old Unity stamp (poppy) on the kraft background and used my embossing pen to fill it in although it looks grey on the photo. Then I embossed the velum with SU embossing folder and laid it over top. I embossed a white stamp again on white and colored it with a kraft pen then staggered them and adhered it with dimensional tape to give a 3D appearance.

CFC 180 Friendship

I'm getting my card in at the last minute. This one is going for the Casual Fridays challenge and you can find out more RIGHT HERE

I used the CF Pretty Posies set. This set is so versatile! I also used a SSStamp die and SU sets Artistically Awesome and Simply Said. I glossed up the dragon fly and flower centers with glossy accents and added some Nuvo drops to the polka dots for a bit of dimension. 

CFC challenge 179

Today I am sharing a card that I have created for the Casual Fridays challenge. To find the details check it out HERE

I just got a the new SU package of papers of the InColors. I wanted to use the Lemon Lime Twist and the Berry Burst together. My favourites along with the Powder Pink. The dies I used were CF Pretty Posies, Memory Box center burst and Stamplorations smile die. I scored the leaf with my stylus and sponged the flower for a bit of texture.

Casual Fridays Celebration CFC173

Today I made my card to enter into the Casual Friday's challenge celebrating 6 years. I stamped 6 Ranunculus. They are such a pretty flower. All the details for the challenge can be checked out HERE  I used a Stampendous stamp for the flowers and Unity sentiment. I love the look of watercolor but just never get to trying it so this is one of my first of attempts. I watercolored the flowers with Zig clean color markers. Added a bit of glossy accents. Pretty simple and definitely going to try it again.

Casual Friday's Color Challenge

Today my card is for the challenge at Casual Fridiay's It's all about Pink, white and navy. My card does look like black and white but it truly is navy. I used the Pretty Posies set with gold embossing.

With Love and Music to my Ears

For details on this card challenge go to the Casual Friday Blog (Music to my Ears theme) and Simon Says Stamp (Color of Love theme) For my card I used the Casual Fridays treble clef die. I cut the pink little hearts from the bottom of the same die. For the gold lettering I used my Minc machine with gold foil. I added a bit of wink of STella pen. Hard to see and a bit difficult to photograph with all the shine. Very simple card but the gold really packs a punch!!

Casual Fridays Challenge #155

My post today is for the Casual Friday's Challenge to check it out go HERE  It's all about black and white with a pop of color. I used retired stamps with SU yellow ink and the white is cut using my Silhouette Cameo and then mounted on black cardstock.

Casual Fridays Gift Tag

Today I am entering the Casual Fridays Gift Tag challenge. Check it out HERE I used the CF stamps Woot Woot. I stressed the turquoise paper for the backing. Stamped the number 5 and cut it out of glitter cardstock. I had to photograph it on black because I just could not get a good picture. I'm thinking it was because of the glitter.  It just kept turning so blue. So this is the best that I could get it. That's it that's all!!

Thank You Card

Hi everybody! It's been a cloudy rainy week and I'm here with a card for two challenges. Thanks with Twine Casual Fridays HERE and Reverse Stencilling Make it Monday HERE Love the effect of the reverse stencil. Must try that again. I used Spellbinders and PTI BBlooms dies, PTI Aqua Mist,Winter Wisteria and Memento Pear tart and SU Night of Navy inks. Stamps PTI Lovely Labels and Beautiful Blooms.

Splatters and Florals

I'm back with another card that I am entering in two challenges. One at Less Is More and the other at Casual Fridays I embossed PTI clock and masked it to create a frame for my floral wreath. Used splatters and sentiment from SU. I added a few glossy accent droplets all around which you probably can't see but they add a bit of shine.
