New Challenge Card
Now I must say that I love Mary over at Cardz TV. Lots of great videos and ideas. This week, she did a card for the challenge at PaperPlaytime . I love it when there is a theme and the card design is freestyle so I thought I would do an entry.
After my daughter's wedding I had GOBS of teal scraps left so I try to use them when I can. S,o in this card, I pulled out a teal scrap and added a designer paper. Then I added white rick rack ( rarely think of using this but it worked!). Love the addition of the yellow flowers for a bit of punch. I inked the scallops with teal and popped them up on foam tape.......had to add a bow .....just 'cuz! Anyway, hope you like it!
Have a flowery day!

Monday Musings
Well, I have not posted in a while...life gets in the way..........
Amyway, hit my craft room with gusto the last couple of days as I had several projects I needed to do.
cards for a bridal shower, a birthday and a thank you card. Then....today I received the Mojo MOnday challenge sketch and knew I had to make a card from the sketch. The sketch is below....
So off I went to my stash to find the perfect paper....
and I did!!!!!
I found a great group of papers by Authentique called Loyal.
Kind of "guy" paper" but is versatile so I went with it.
So here is my take on the sketch!
Hope you like it! I was pleased with how it turned out.
Have a great day!

CardzTV entry
I am a devoted follower of Mary at CardzTV. She is SO creative and I get a lot of ideas from her videos. I am one of those visual people so love videos for craft projects!
Anyway.....I am entering my Valentine's Day card that I posted the other day in her challenge ...I will repost the picture.
It was made with Ornamental Iron 2 Cricut cartridge. The details are in my previous post.
Have a Great Day!

Valentine Card
Well, it is getting near Valentine's Day so I
thought I should get going on cards. I had recently seen the
technique of inking an embossing folder to get a two color emboss. It is much like pottery and is very elegant. So, I played with this a bit and came up with a card base done in pink and white. Then I took a Quick cutz heart die and cut 2 hearts in 2 sizes with red and pink paper. I ran the pink heart through the swiss dots folder and popped both hearts on foam tape. I think it turned out elegant and simple. The shading on the embossed card can be tailored to the look you want. Great technique and one I will use a lot.
Close up of the embossing effect.
910 pm: Well more cards made! This next one uses the same color embossing as the one above but a reversed image..the colored part is the unraised part and the white is the raised embossing. I then cut out a frame from Ornamental Iron 2...page 54...lace 2 in pink at 2 3/4 inches and then the lace 2 shadow (on the left) at 2 3/4 in in white. I popped the frame and shadow on 2 thicknesses of foam tape. I then stamped the greeting in SU chocolate chip. The stamp is a Michael's dollar bin stamp.
I think it is a great girly card with the pink........Having fun today crafting....hope you are too!

New Year Craft Room Clean Up
Well, started cleaning up and organizing my craft areas. I quilt as well as papercraft so have many bits and pieces around. Found a bag with left over scraps from wedding crafts......Teal everything!!! Will be giving away lots of teal projects this year! Fortunately I am not finding too many duplicates so I feel pretty good about that! I am notorious for buying the same things several times!!!UGH....
No recent crafting moments but will share a adorable little gift box I made for a Christmas gift. The box file is from SVG Cuts.Com....I used a glitter paper with packages on it and added a bit of bling with a glitter box embellishment!

Close of the Weekend
Well, it is Sunday night and it is back to work tomorrow. My son starts back at college this week and I am wishing him all the best! Not much time to craft this weekend..paying bills, grocery shopping, errands....and of course....football! I am a fan but there was definately too much testosterone in my house this weekend, couch coaching was at its all time best!
Anywayyyyyyy.... my daughter recently got married and I made these letters from svg files at SVG Cuts.com (awesome site). I thought they turned out great...their living room is decorated in black, greay and burgundy so I used a variety of papers and embellishments to make the set.
Hope you have a great week!
Best,
Amy
