Adventure Awaits Inside

Hi Welcome back today to my blog! I recently joined the The Library Challenge's and today I seen the new book had changed to The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe Challenge #19. I knew I wanted to make a door card. I had forgotten the old size that I made for my fishing card...so I just made new dimensions. 

Here is the front of the card. Pretty simple... 5.5 tall x 8.75 long and scored at 2 1/8 on both ends. The door pieces are all distress ink and I printed up the Narnia font from my computer. On the top I added a Martha Stewart punch. The door knobs are black bling. 

Here is the inside....Lots of Cheery Lynn Designs die cuts and a Tim Holtz tree. The hillside border is from Lawn Fawn....one of my favorite die cuts. I kept one side blank for my own personal sentiment. 

A closer view....

Thanks for stopping by today

Good Morning! I wanted to share a fun, bright Christmas card for my stash going out this year. I used the beautiful sentiment stamps from scrapbook.com In the background I used Lawn Fawn quilted background. The leaves and berries are from Cheery Lynn Designs. I added some red pearls for a bit of bling.

The inside I used a Martha Stewart punch and the gorgeous Impression Obsession pine branch. I love this die cut! It is really super detailed.

So Grateful For You

Hi! So, I mentioned yesterday that I was in the mood for a pink card and so I happened to be looking at The Card Concept #100 Elegant Fall & Special Celebration!, photo and this is what I came up with today. It is light pinks and very shabby chic. 

I added flowers from my stash, the sentiment is from Verve stamped with the new hybrid inks from scrapbook.com I used pumpkins from Cheery Lynn Designs in pink and white and colored the tips with green Nuvo marker. I also die cut out the vines and colored the leaves with the same marker. 

I added tiny pearls to the center of the light pink flowers and a few more pearls throughout. 

Here is the fabulous inspiration! Thank You!

Thanks for stopping by today! 

Have a great Sunday!

Good Morning! I wanted to make some more Christmas cards to send out this season. I originally was going to make this card for a CAS Moonlight challenge. It started off that way actually more elegant. Then somehow I couldn't help myself and added all the adorable Lawn Fawn stamps. It is not so CAS anymore. Oh well....

The background houses are from Cheery Lynn Designs. The beautiful fir trees are from Impression Obsession and the gorgeous sentiment is from scrapbook.com called Holly Jolly sentiments. 

I just love th tiny santa over the moon. The stitched circle is one of my favorite die cuts also the stitched hillside borders.

I Put A Spell On You

Good Morning! Im sharing today a new fun card inspired by the sentiment "I Put A Spell On You" I printed it up on the computer and layered and layered lots of die cuts. I added eyeballs all around the card too. As I was making this card I wanted to add a cat....I have a few different cats but I was looking for one specific one. I found out that it was NOT in the right die cut set....Im so upset...is it possible it was accidentally thrown away? 

I used some drippy goo Martha Stewart punch in the inside.

Happy Thanksgiving

Hi again! I have to share this card that I lifted from scrapbook.com with this adorable fox. You can see original HERE. I bought this adorable fox from Cheery Lynn Designs before they became Maker's Movement. I originally bought him because my youngest daughter loves foxes and I figured I would use it one day. 

The papers are from Carta Bella called Fall Break. They are wonderful for all your autumn, thanksgiving cards and layouts. I sure was having a rough time to use my Darice woodgrain embossing plate. Finally!!! I figured out how to get it to work out in my cuttlebug with my spellbinders plates. 

The sentiment by Verve was stamped in scrapbook.com exclusive hybrid ink. This one is called "Autumn Leaves" I sure was a lucky girl to receive all the colors from scrapbook.com Thank you sooooo much!!!

Im entering this card into this week's Cupcake Challenge #456 using orange, yellow and brown.

I Love the yummy reese's cupcakes too! 

Thanks for stopping by today!

The beautiful tree is from Tim Holtz and I added tiny bling to the top of the tree. The ornaments I have had forever and I added some bling ribbon. One the bottom I used Lawn Fawn hillside die cut.
