CAS(E) this Sketch #47 and SSS Challenges

Hello everyone! Hope you had a wonderful weekend.

Today, I'm sharing a card that i made for CAS(E) this Sketch #47, Sweet Stamp Shop, and Simon Says Wednesday Challenges.  I started out with stamping different colors on the Drops Background stamp by Sweet Stamp Shop.  Then i randomly added gemstones and Star Dust Stickles.  The sentiment is from the set Oh Happy Day by Avery Elle - my absolute favorite sentiment set yet!

Thank you for stopping by, hope you have a great week!

Papertrey Ink September Blog Hop

Good morning everyone!

For couple days,  I've been thinking of the The General Craft Supplies Challenge on Moxie Fab World.  Since we all have too much of general craft supplies, that becomes overwhelming.  I really couldn't narrow down which craft supplies I'd use :).  Then suddenly it clicked when i saw PTI September Wreath Blog Hop... I'd make a wreath card using Jute.

It took a bit more time wrapping the wreath (much more than i anticipated), but i do like the final product.  I use PTI rustic cream paper and the sentiment is from the new set Holiday Cheer.  The rolled flowers die is by MFT and made with felt.  Here's my card:

I'm also submitting this card to SSS Wednesday Challenge
Thank for stopping by.  Have a wonderful day!

Moxie Fab World: All That Glitters Is Gold

Hello, how's your weekend going?

Exactly 6 months ago, we moved to South Carolina from Denver, Colorado.  Every weekend, we go to a different place in Charleston or surrounding cities.  There are so much to do, we barely finish a third of our to do list.  Today, we took our sons to see the Angel Oak tree on Johns Island.  The tree is believed to be around 400 - 500 years old.  I was in awe standing by this magnificent tree.  You can read more about it here.

Now back to sharing a card :).  I made this one for Moxie Fab World: All That Glitters is Gold Challenge.  The stripes are from PTI Super Stripes set.  I heat embossed the snow flakes with Ranger gold embossing powder.  The sentiment is from Simon Says Stamps Happy Sentiments set.  I'm also linking this card to STAMPtember® Blog Hop

Thank you for visiting and hope you enjoy the rest of your weekend!!

CASology: Silhouette and Moxie Fab World: All That Glitters is Gold Challenge

Hello and Happy Friday everyone!

Today, I'm sharing with you a one layer card I made for CAS-ology: Silhouette and Moxie Fab World: All That Glitters is Gold Challenge.  This also fits this week's Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge: Emboss It!!

For this card I masked off the bottom part of the stamp, heat embossed with Ranger's gold embossing powder.  After that, I masked the frame and distressed it with Tumbled Glass and Peacock Feathers.  The sentiment is from Avery Elle.

Thanks for stopping by... hope you have a wonderful weekend!!

Runway Inspired RIC#43 and CAS(E) this Sketch #44

Hello, how's everyone doing?

It's hard to resist the gorgeous inspirational images from RIC#43 and CAS(E) this Sketch #44.

 






I made the background using Black Soot distressed ink and the grid stamp by Waltzing Mouse called Off Beat Background.  First i die cut a circle on a piece of Eclipse masking tape, positioned it on a square card stock and mask off the top with post it note.  Next i distressed the partial circle with Black Soot ink, then stamp the grid with VersaMark and heat embossed it (recommend to heat set the ink before stamping, or in my case, i left to pick up the kiddos :)).  The butterflies are from Antique Flowers and Butterflies set by Sizzix & Hero Arts... i die cut and colored them with Copic markers Y19 and YR14.

Here's the final product:

I'm also linking this up to Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge - Animal Antics, and Rockwell Designs: Nectarine Card Challenge.

Monday Mood Board #19 and CAS(E) this Sketch #42

Hello,

I made this card for this week's Monday Mood Board #19 and CAS(E) this Sketch #42.

Here're the inspirations:

Here's my take:

Before going to bed last night, i looked at the MMB's image.  Today i sat down and created the card thinking the flower was orange... oops.  I thought of redoing it, but i kinda like the orange so i just went with it.  I used PTI Framed Out#7 and WPlus9 Fresh Cut Florals for this card.  Thanks for stopping by!

I'm Craving Navy - Take 2

Another navy card for Moxie Fab World: I'm Craving Navy and Monday Mood Board #18

I stamped the anchors from the Dockside set (WPlus9) in Brilliance Inks: Mediterranean Blue and Pearlescent Sky Blue.  Memento Rose Bud is used to stamp the Thanks sentiment.

Tuesday Trigger: I'm Craving Navy and Monday Mood Board #18

Hello, how's your weekend so far?  My little 3 y/o is having a cold, so after waking up several times last night, I decided to stay up to make a card instead of going back to sleep :)

Moxie Fab World and Monday Mood Board are having a navy theme challenges.  Here're the inspiration pictures:

I was going with Nautical theme, but I just remembered I've never played with Embroidered Bouquet stamp set, so I had to try it out.  I inked it with WPlus9's white pigment ink.  This is the BEST white ink i've ever used.  The details showed up beautifully on navy background. 

My take:

Runway Inspired Challenge #ric41 and a Moxie Fab World: Birthday Card Challenge

This week, I have sometimes to play along with the super talented ladies at Runway Inspired Challenge.  This week's challenge is this gorgeous dress by Zac Posen (love him on Project Runway show).  Also, CAS(E) this Sketch #40 is incorporated into the design.

 

 

 

Here's my card

 

To create the flowers, I heat embossed a piece of cardstock with tiny flower background by Stampin' Up and distressed it with Ranger Distressed Ink Tattered Rose.  Then I die cut the flower (PTI die) and distressed the flower with the following colors: Worn Lipstick, Barn Door, and Aged Mahogany.  Worn Lipstick didn't show much after Aged Mahogany was used, so I think I would have gotten the same result if I skipped Worn Lipstick.  The sentiment is handwritten using a black sharpie.

Closer look:
