Hi everyone! Hope you all had a wonderful week. I want to say thank you to all who played in our last challenge. Hopefully you all will find inspiration this week. It was so much fun to see every one's creations. OK so for the details:

This challenge is a COLOR Challenge. The colors to use are Ruby Red, Kraft and Creamy Caramel. Use colors that match as close as possible if you do not have the exact colors.

I used two different sets for this card. For the LOVE on the background I used Pattern Alphabet and Numbers. I have been seeing so many other ladies on the DT use the stamps to create backgrounds and I have never done this so since this is supposed to be a challenge I challenged myself with trying this. It was so much fun to try! I used The Fairytale for the main focus on the card. Hope you can find some fun inspiration with this!

CCS Challenge and a Tutorial

Hi everyone! Hope you all had a wonderful week. I want to say thank you to all who played in our last challenge. We had a few more players! Yea that makes me sooooo happy! Hopefully you all will find inspiration this week. It was so much fun to see every one's creations. OK so for the details:

This challenge is ALL about Something clear.
This could be acetate, clear buttons, clear baubles......maybe even clear embossing powder. Just keep it clear! Let your creativity flow! For my sample I am also going to show a tutorial for a quick and easy shaker card.

• Gather your materials. For this project I used:
  Sage Shadow Card Base
  5 1/8 x 3 7/8 Bashful Blue Base
  5 x 3 3/4 Design Paper
  Glitter (I used Martha Stewart glitter flakes)
  3M Mounting tape on a roll
  Acetate or other clear sheet.

Let it Snow Stamp Set was used

• Use adhesive to put your design paper to your 2nd base.
  

• Use 1 3/8 Punch to cut through your main base.
  
• Adhere acetate sheet to back so the clear sheet will now create a window.
  
• Stamp your image and color if needed.
  
• Put 3M tape all around image.
  
• Pour glitter into the middle of all the mounting tape (on top of your image)
  
• Lay the base with the clear window sheet over your image and push down so there will be no cracks for the glitter to escape.
  
• Place mounting tape or pop up dots around the rest of the base and adhere to your card base.
  
• Ta Da You're done! Now decorate as you please
  
  Tip: If you are planning on stamping your sentiment directly onto the base with the window….Stamp that before you place mounting tape on it. Also, if your like me and horrible at having neat mounting tape application, use a paper glue like zip dry and fill the cracks. It really works and it dries super fast.

This challenge is ALL about Buttons.

Use them anywhere. You could even have pretty paper with buttons on it! I used Precious One .

I figured this is one of my last chances to use some bright paper since it is starting to rain here in "sunny" California.....And I needed something to brighten my day. I love this color! I used some buttons without thread. I like this look cause you can use them just like you would a brad or an eyelet.

Bella Anniversery card

I made this for my mother and father in laws recent anniversary. I really wanted a very pretty shimmery card. I colored the image with copics and shimmerz. the tuxedo, dress, and veil is all shimmerz. The design paper already has glitter all over it and it is very pretty.

Another Pretty card.....

This was my Very first shaker card. Very fun to make. This will make some very cute valentines day cards. I love coloring sophia. she is sooooo much fun to color and make all "pretty" Of course I used my new basic grey design paper cause I LOVE it!

A Witching good time....

This card was SO fun to make. I colored the images and I love how the fire turned out. I used some rub on stars on the main image. I cuttlebugged the black main panel with the pumpkin folder and then rubbed brilliance starry silver lightly over the raised image. It looks VERY cool in person. This image is from Dog Gone Stamps: Witch with pot
