Embellish Magazine: Color Challenge with Butterflies

Hi everyone! TGIF!!! I was browsing through my favorite blogs and websites this morning and saw this gorgeous color challenge! It's such an elegant combination! I couldn't wait to go home awhile ago to start on this color challenge. And all throughout the day, I was trying to imagine what layout I could possibly use! Haha! In the end, I couldn't think of any! I just found myself cutting, punching, stamping and then combining and replacing elements until I came up with this! Whew! Anyway, I hope you like it! Thanks for stopping by!

Supplies:

Cardstock - kraft, black, green (PTI)

Patterned Paper - SEI

Stamps - Sincere Salutations (SU), swirl (PTI)

Others - border punch (Fiskars), butterflies (SU), rhinestones, pearls, ribbon (Wendy)

Beautiful Butterflies

Hi all! Happy Tuesday! I just got my Stampin' Up package in the mail today! Yay! :) One of the things that I've been wanting to add to my growing craft supplies was the Beautiful Butterflies Bigz Dies from Stampin' Up. I would see it sooo many times in different blogs and magazines. I've just been so busy trying to slowly check off my wish list for Papertrey Ink Stamp Sets that I never got the chance to order this. Well, it came with some other stamp sets from Stampin' Up and I couldn't be happier! Here's the card I made using it. Enjoy! Thanks for stopping by!

I also made an envelope to go with this card. I used my Martha Stewart Score Board to make this. I just LOVE my score board!!! It's great that it has grooves with 1/8" increments so you can do more things with it. It's also waaay cheaper than the Scor-pal.

Curtain Call Color Challenge Act 30

Hi everyone! Happy Monday! Have you watched Kristina Werner's Make a Card Monday today? I just love watching her videos. I find that she's the most entertaining card designer when it comes to card tutorial videos. She's always so vibrant and happy, and yet not in that annoying perky way. (haha does that make sense?)  She's never boring and she gives out sooo much information. I think that maybe 1/2 of the supplies and tools I have, I bought after watching her videos. Anyway, I don't always try to do what she does in the video but it always inspires me to make a card.  I wish more blogs/websites would put out card making videos.

I remembered going through Stacey's blog and seeing that wonderful wonderful color challenge! I just LOVE the color combination for this color challenge. I had some left over scraps from my last Curtain Call Challenge and I didn't want to waste it.  After looking at the flourishes all over the patterned paper I knew I had to make it the theme of the card.  Here's my submission for Act 30. Enjoy and thanks for stopping by!

Supplies:

Cardstock - Kraft, White, Black, Pink (PTI)

Patterned Paper - Orange flourish (SEI), Dots (K & Company)

Stamp - Flourish (Inkadinkado), sentiment (PTI)

Accents - Die Cut (Cricut Expression), rhinestones, paper flowers

Ink - Distress Ink (Ranger), Jet Black (Staz On)

Color Cue Challenge

Happy Saturday everyone!!! I haven't posted anything in a few days and so I thought I would join one of the challenges today. Here's the color challenge from W Plus 9 Design Studio. I love the colors! :) It reminded me of the beach and of a baby boy. And since my stamp set collecting has only begun, I only had the baby card option today :) Oooh by the way, PTI has just launched their new line. I loooove the fillable frames and the hot air balloons! Anyway, on to the challenge!

My navy blue cardstock wasn't as navy as I wanted it, but it was all I had and I made do with it. I hope you all like it!!! Oh, I used the Bow Easy for this ribbon. I love it! So easy to use! Thanks for the tip Debbie! And thank you Stamp TV for the video on how to use it!

Supplies:

Cardstock - Navy, Light Blue, Yellow (The Paper Company), White (PTI)

Stamp - Bitty Baby Blessings (PTI)

Anyway here are the supplies I used.

Stamps: Vintage Labels, Mega Mixed Words(PTI), flourish (Inkadinkado)

Cardstock: Kraft (PTI), Cream, Mocha (The Paper Company)

Die Cutting: Cricut Expression
