A Card For A Friend

One of my favorites card challenges is Card Chain Challenge hosted by Deborah Nolan. She is awesome! There were 27 participants for the February challenge, check all the cards here. They are just beautiful cards!

The joy creating cards for friends and families is a blessing in my life. I can’t keep it to myself, sending the card to them is the way to spread the joy 🙂 Today I would love to share with you a card I made for my new friend, Wynette in Kansas:

There are 4 challenge options we can use for this challenge, and I picked the color palate, friend theme and wood veneer shapes. for this card. I used two of the CTMH new paper packets, Timberline Paper Packet and Ariana Paper Packet. The stamp set I used is You Are My Happy set (retired). The embellishments are Wooden-Shapes Garden.

This is a fun challenge, you send a card, you get a card. I got a wonderful card from Cat C. from Maryland.

Deborah has the March Card Chain Challenge registration open now…. you can sign up HERE until Wednesday, March 19, 11:55 PM EST. Let’s join the fun with us!

Christmas in February

What? Christmas in February? 😀 LOL… I am feeling Christmas spirit in February. Few weeks ago, I made cards for fund raising event that my husband and I had to help the people in Manado, North Sulawesi, Indonesia who lost their Bibles because of the flood water and mud hit my home town. These are 2 of 80 cards I made.

Both cards I made using Sparkle & Shine paper packet and complement elements. The stamp set I used from the Frosted Cardmaking Workshop On The Go Kit. Both kit retired from Close To My Heart.

First card I used the sketch from the Paper Players Challenge #184:

Supplies: Sparkle & Shine paper packet, White Daisy Cardstock, Recollections clear gems, Doodle Twine Christmas Collection from Doodlebug Designs, Tombow glue runner, glue dots.

Here’s the second one that I link it up this card at Christmas Cards Challenge #13 – Anything Goes:

Supplies: Sparkle & Shine paper packet, White Daisy Cardstock, Martha Stewart lace border punch, Nicole gems, Recollections clear gems, Tombow glue runner, Glue Dots, 3D Foam Tape.

And here’s one more Christmas card that I made using the sketch from Page Maps for Scrapping Everyday Miracles March Card Sketch Challenge:

I hope you enjoy my cards 🙂

Best Wishes

I would like to share a card I made for a family. It is simple, one layer card. I am inspired by a card at Muse Challenge #54, the flowers bunch with watercolor effect. I combine with the repeating stamping technique from One-Layer Simplicity Challenge #2.

I cut a piece of white daisy cardstock to make the card base 4.25x 5.5 (A2). Then I stamped the flower image from Card Chatter set (retired) repeatedly with Black Pigment Ink and I dried it with Craft Heater (retired), or you can let it air-dry for a couple of minutes. Then I stamped the sentiment fromBanner Wishes set with Cotton Candy Exclusive Inks Stamp Pad. I used 1″ X 3 1/2″ My Acrylix™ Block the sentiment fit perfectly on that block.

After the stamping process, I colored the flowers and leaves using American Craft color pencils and I added some glitter using Wink of Stella clear glitter brush. I added some black sparkles and punched one corner with corner rounder to finish the card.

Thank You for stopping by! I hope you like my card 🙂

A Baby Dresser Card

Since last year, I have been making cards and totally enjoy the process if making them. Today, I would love to share with you all this baby card I made for a friend of ours who just got a beautiful baby girl couple of weeks ago and she is so adorable! She was born premie but she is a fighter! She is now home with her parents and big sister.

I cut a piece of kraft cardstock, White Daisy Cardstock, and one Ariana Paper for the step card baby dresser with my Silhouette Cameo. After than, I just put them all together as it is seen on the picture using Memory Book Glue Dots™, Tombow® Adhesive runner and 3-D Foam Tape. To finish the drawers I added some Flamingo Dots and also couple of them on the sentiment banner.

For the sentiment, I picked one of the quotes from B Is For Baby stamp set. I stamped it usingSmoothie Exclusive Inks™ Stamp Pad. I added it on top of the border I cut from Ariana Paper.

This card is done in less than 15 minutes!! And this card I link up for Joyful Stars February 2014 Blog Hop featuring Valentine’s Day theme project and/or CTMH New Products from Spring/Summer 2014 Idea Book. This blog hop starts at Joyce’s blog. Hope you will find this hope full of inspirations 🙂
