Baroque Motif One Sheet Wonder Workshop

 

 

 

 


This past Friday night I went to my friend/upline's One Sheet Wonder Workshop. We made these adorable totes, 6 cards w/ stamped envelopes and matching pen. It was so much fun that I made one on Saturday night too for my husband's grandmother that celebrated her 90th birthday today. I will share that set with you tomorrow. I just love these colors together and I hope you do too. I can tell these are going to be addicting to make especially with the holidays around the corner.

Thanks for looking! --Kim

"Very Merry" Christmas Challenge Card

 


This topper card was created for a challenge my girlfriends and I are doing together. Since January we have been creating 10 cards a month and this is my card that was due in July (just a little late). We swap with each person in the challenge and then keep the rest. So I will be making 9 more of these! I just love this new stamp set called Big Celebrations by SU! (The photo does not do this card justice - you can't see all the glitz on the star, ribbon around the tree and the ornaments & tree skirt. The ornaments have lots of stickles on them to look like sparkly clear glass balls.) Enjoy :-)

Products used:
Stamps - Big Celebrations and Short & Sweet by SU
Ink - Black Stazon
Markers - Cranberry & Sunny Yellow by CTMH & Certainly Celery by SU
Patterned Paper - Polka Dots by Colorbok
Cardstock - Textured Cardstock by Bazzill, White Daisy by CTMH
Embellishments - Diamond Stickles, Misc. gold brads & ribbon, Dimensionals by SU, Oval Punches by SU, Sponge by SU

Papertrey, Ribbon & Bling Oh My...

 


This is a card that I created for a swap I am hosting on SCS, called Papertrey, Ribbon & Blig Oh My... I used this past Wednesdays card sketch challenge on Splitcoast Stampers (SC139) for the design. I used stickles for the centers of the flowers to add the bling. I hope you like it! (Double click on the imgage to see the bling!)

Products Used:
Stamps - Papertrey Ink's Text Box & Faux Ribbon sets. I loved how the swirl design fit perfectly at the top of the tab punch. And since they are clear stamps it was so easy to add.
Ink - Chocolate by CTMH
Pattern Paper - Spring Flowers by SU
Cardstock - White Daisy, Garden Green & Chocolate from CTMH
Embellishments - Stickles, Misc. Chocolate & White Gingham Ribbon, Tab Punch by SU, White Daisy brads by CTMH and dimensionals to raise the focal image.
