Paper Cutz Challenge #57

TGIF!!!

This is my first challenge as a DT Member for Paper Cutz! So excited to share my card with you!

This week's challenge is to make a card, LO or craft project using 1 ribbon, 2 buttons and 3 colors on any theme you’d like.

I must admit the 3 colors thing got me hung up for awhile, I'm so used to incorporating lots of colors that to just pick 3? Torture LOL!! After debating with myself, I went with a Christmas theme. Can't go wrong with red, white & green!

{if you click on the picture, you should hopefully see the sparkly ornaments!}

Here is the sketch I used~

We'd love to see what you do with this recipe! Please link your challenge card to the Paper Cutz challenge blog and check out all the wonderful inspiration from my fellow DT members! Their links are also on my left sidebar.

Card Supplies:
Stamps: Fluffles Baubles ~ Stampendous; sentiment ~ Amuse Holiday Greetings
Paper: Basic Grey Wassail
Ink: Memento
Copics: R59, R89, E41, BG96, BG99
Other: Large Deckled Rectangles Nestabilities, misc. ribbon & buttons from stash, Smooch Illuminate

Have a great day! I'm excited for the long weekend, lots of wedding details to wrap up!

A Touch of Christmas #1

*3rd Post of the Day - scroll down to see what you've missed!*

So when I saw that Danni and Kimberly were doing A Touch of Christmas, I just had to participate! Why not get a jump start on Christmas and start your cards or projects? I told Mike in December that I would start in January and he was like yeah, right! He was surprised when I went downstairs to show him this card!

This is a very funky Christmas card for me, but it all came together quite quickly. The paper is Basic Grey Bittersweet, yes I used a Valentines paper for a Christmas card. I kinda like it! The image with its dots and stripes seemed to just flow with my paper.

This sketch from 2 Sketches 4 U was perfect for the card.


Card Supplies:
Stamps: Fluffles Noel
Paper: Basic Grey Bittersweet
Ink: Memento
Copics: RV21, RV23, E33, E35, R89, YG17

On the 7th Day of Christmas

I'm wondering if I can make it through the next 18 days of showing off cards...

Hopefully now that we've got the tree up and all decorated, I can concentrate more on my card making and gift making. I whipped this adorable Fluffles up just a bit ago after making the rounds for new sketches.


I used today's Techno Stamper Lunchtime Sketch for my layout -

And here are a couple of pics of our finished tree!! I cannot wait to scrap these pictures, we had such a good time decorating our first tree in our first home :)

There are many more lol...I couldn't help but play with all the different settings on my camera since its my first Christmas with it.

Supplies Used:
Stamps: Fluffles in Lights ~ Stampendous; Holiday Greetings ~ Amuse
Paper: DCWV, misc. cardstock
Ink: Memento
Accessories: E33 copic marker, spica glitter pens, Marvy scallop punch, Nestabilities Ribbon Tags Trio, American Crafts ribbon

And now I'm off to bed! Hopefully I won't be as late with my post tomorrow!

Make a Wish!

TGIF!

It was a busy day and an even busier night. Today is my mom's birthday, so after dinner I had to make her a quick card since I didn't do it earlier this week. I'm not sure that I like it, but she did and that's all that counts. I think its because the green don't completely match...


Here is the PCP sketch that I used:


And I can finally share this Fluffles card that I sent Terry for her birthday which was earlier this week. I love how this one came out, purple is one of her favorite colors, so I used my BG Eva paper pad.


Here is a close-up of the image. I popped up the cupcake and I also layered the hat.


I used this sketch from Sweet Sketch Sunday, love their sketches!!

World's Best Mom

Here is the card that I gave to my mom yesterday :) She loved it. I incorporated some of her favorites - green, cats and flowers.

I used Cambria Turnbow's WSC80 for the layout of the card which you can see HERE. The paper is a mixture of new and old. I recently started rearranging my scrap papers so that I have better access to them and boy, its really working out well for me. I am using the Cropper Hopper Vertical Storage System and its fantastic! A little pricey, but well worth it since its making my scrappy life so much easier!

The Recipe
Stamps: Grasshopper Fluffles ~ Stampendous, sentiment ~ Studio G
Paper: Georgia Pacific, Paper Company, DCWV, Colorbok, Hot Off the Press
Ink: Tuxedo Black ~ Memento, copics (B02 - third marker)Accessories: ribbon ~ Michaels, mega circle punch ~ Marvy, giga scallop punch ~ Marvy, designer label punch ~ Stampin Up

Thanks for looking!

Card Sketch #81

Tonight after stamping a bunch of images, I decided to take one and whip up a card. I found this cute sketch on the Sketches by Tamara blog today and it worked perfectly with the ladybug Fluffles.

The embellishments are all Making Memories. I got them on sale at Crazy Scraps during their big clearance sale a few weeks ago. They match my Basic Grey Sultry paper just great!

And of course, I just had to use the copics again LOL!

The Recipe:
Stamps: Ladybug Fluffles (Stampendous)
Paper: Georgia Pacific, Basic Grey Sultry
Ink: Tuxedo Black, Rich Cocoa (Memento)
Accessories: Copics, Making Memories Lemonade Blossoms & Rouge Paperie

I also redesigned the blog a bit. I tried to balance out all the stuff I have on here, let me know what you think!

Flower Fluffles

This card covers 2 challenges that I recently found on The Daily Dare. What a cool blog, they round up each daily challenge and post them each day. Sure makes the searching easier on me!

I used Flower Fluffles by Stampendous on a sketch from CCEE Stampers, it was a pretty simple sketch which allowed my image to shine through. I also used this week's Papertake Weekly Challenge to use hearts or flowers, since I had already selected the flower stamp, it made this challenge easy!

I dug out my Basic Grey 6x6 pads and selected the Euphoria stack to create with and of course, my copics to color. I swear I will use my pencils again, I'm sure they are lonely! I just can't resist using the markers when they match what I'm working on Both my copic clear spica pen and my gelly roll stardust pen provided the right amount of sparkle.

As always, thanks for looking and commenting. I appreciate it!

On the 23rd Day of Christmas...

its technically the 24th...but I didn't forget to post yesterday, I swear! I got home very late and for some reason the modem wasn't on, its not mine and I can't figure out why it wouldn't work. So please forgive me! Thank goodness for the back dating feature so I can make this the 23rd LOL!

Here is the last Christmas Fluffles of the season...I got this image from my friend Pat. I absolutely love this one. I can so see my friend's cat doing this so I had to send her one of these cards. I used another Splitcoast sketch - SC79. As you can see, I just love my Stickles - I used 5 different ones on the tree but I didn't make a list....whoops!

Stamps: Fluffles (Stampendous), Let's Deck the Halls (Studio G)
Ink: Tuxedo Black (Memento), Bravo Burgundy (Stampin Up)
Paper: DCWV
Accessories: Stickles, prismacolor pencils, copic spica gold pen

TFL!

On the 21st Day of Christmas...

I'm making a little progress! 2 handmade gifts down, 1 to go! I'll share in a separate post once I download and edit the pictures.

Today's card is another Fluffles from my friend Sandy. I made a few of them and one will go to my little brother and my little sister LOL! I used a splitcoast sketch - SC129 which you can see HERE.

Stamps: Fluffles (Stampendous), tree (Studio G)
Ink: Tuxedo Black (Memento) for the tree
Paper: DCWV
Accessories: Marvy scallop punches (giga & mega), copic spica pens, stickles, prismacolor pencils

Here is a close up so you can see the sparkle. I just love my stickles!!

On the 12th Day of Christmas....

You're getting an early treat from me! I have stamps sisters club tonight after work so I thought I'd post before I leave for work since I'll be home late :)

This is another one of my new stamps for this year. Michaels got in a limited supply of Stampendous stamps and I stocked up - who could resist when they had them 40% off? I know there will be a few in my stocking too - woohoo!

Anyways back to Fluffles, I just love this fat little cat. He's cute and mischievous. The layout of the card is my own - shocking, isn't it? LOL It was easy to decide what to do since the main image is on the larger side.

Stamps: Fluffles Garland (Stampendous), ornaments (Studio G)
Ink: Tuxedo Black, Bamboo Leaves (Memento)
Paper: DCWV
Accessories: ribbon (Michaels), brad (Joanns), Stickles!, copic at you spica pens

Thanks so much for looking! I am having such fun posting a card a day!

C is for....

Cat! Isn't Fluffles adorable? I've stamped a bunch of images of him for others, but this is the first card I've made with him.

Background was done with the Stylized Flower Cuttlebug folder. The accent flowers were cut from DCWV Summer stack paper. What a pain but I think they look great! Another favorite tool of mine are the Marvy Scallop punches, couldn't resist using them with this stamp. The image was colored with my prismacolor pencils.

TFL!
