52CCT: February Embellishment Challenge: Felt

Hiya!  Well, Danielle has got a doozie of a challenge for you this week!  She'd like to see some holiday projects using FELT!!!  She was kind enough to send me a few die cut felt pieces and so I've made 4 cards with them.  What will you make for 52 {Christmas} Card Throwdown this week?

Here's some inspiration for you~

Card 1~


Card 2~


Card 3~


Card 4~


The felt pieces, ribbon, and cardstock are all by Stampin' Up!, the sentiments are all by Hero Arts (#2 & #4) or Papertrey Ink (#1 & #3), liquid pearls by Ranger, and the gems are all from various places in my stash!

I kept them CAS to show off the darling stitching and detail of the felt pieces and I LOVE how these all turned out!  THANK YOU, DANIELLE for saving me! ;)  Thanks to all of you who are stopping by to take a peek, too!  HUGS and Merry Stamping! :)

FYI: "Lovers Lane"

So, the inspiration photo for this time's For Your Inspiration reminded me of Lovers Lane.  You know, from "Anne of Green Gables"?  If you don't know what I'm talking about, you should really read that series--they're amazing books!  Anway, I was really excited about creating something inspired by this photo!

Here's the photo~
Challenge #40 2-21-13

My card~

Details~



I used stamps by Rubber Stamp Tapestry for the frame panel, a sentiment and all other supplies by Stampin' Up!.  Can you see the glitter glue?  I added it around the panels for some added texture and interest but wanted this card to be essentially simple in design to highlight the quote.

Thanks so much for stopping by to take a peek at my card!  I hope you come and join our challenge--we love seeing all your amazing creations!  Say hi to the other DT gals while you're at it!  Happy stamping, friends! :)

MMM: Ribbon & Buttons

Hello, friends.  It's a new week at Make My Monday and we've got another fabulous challenge for you!  We'd like you to USE RIBBON AND BUTTONS on your project!

Here's what I came up with~

Details~




I used patterned paper by DCVW, a Sakura clear gel pen to highlight the sentiment, and all my other supplies are by Stampin' Up!.  I actually got the button/sentiment stamp set at a stash swap a few months back and was overjoyed to be able to finally use it!  I thought I was being rather clever, lol!  Hope you agree! ;)

Thanks for stopping by to take a peek! I hope you like my creation and that you come and join us this week!  Say hello to the other DT gals and tell them how brilliant their creations are, too! :)  Happy stamping! :)

CCM: Blooming Images

Well, we've got a fun challenge for you this time at Crafty Cardmakers!  Our hostess is Marie.  This is what she's looking for, "I do love my flowers and this time I would like flower images to be the main focus of the card. No people, no landscapes. Just flower images. A single rose, a poinsettia, a daisy... you get it. Can be flowers in a vase or just the flowers. Of course you can still decorate with flowers, butterflies or what you feel like, but the image is a flower of some kind, NOT a tree and NOT a person holding a flower."   Hope this is clear enough! :)

Our sponsors this time are~

 

and we also have on offer this fabulous die set, 
which has been very generously provided by a mystery donor!

Here's my card~

Details~





I kept this VERY simple--one layer, actually!  The floral image is by Stampin' Up! and my sentiments are by Tim Holtz, all ink and the rhinestones are by Stampin' Up!, and my glimmer mist was DIY.  I colored in my floral image with markers and then spritzed it with my DIY glimmer mist and then stamped the image.  I think it turned out fabulously--it looks watercolored!

Thanks for taking a peek--I appreciate the time you've taken out of your day to do so!  Please do come and play along with us and say hello to the other DT gals as well!  Happy stamping! :)
