Get Inspired @ Dynamic Duos!!!

Catered Crop STARS

Catered Crop Challenge - Star(s). For this challenge Linda said to use star(s). So I found the biggest one I could and stamped it in Versa Mark on black and heat embossed with copper ep. I love it! I added a peacock feather and for me that's when this card took a romantic turn. And what's more romantic than Paris. So I added some stamped images from SU Artistic Etchings in copper ink onto my background paper. The word Amour was stamped in archival black.

CASE-ing Anne Kristine Holt

Sizzix Blogs - Anne Kristine Holt --

Today when I saw her post, my jaw dropped! So I set myself up to CASE her creation. Now Anne's is a tag and envelope. Mine is just a card. Did I say, "just"? Well, it's too beautiful a project to announce is at simply "just" anything. You be the judge.

Here is my card

Below I am showing off the lovely Stampin' Up! charms I've added to my project.

Below I am highlighting the lovely bird and charms along with the sweet fabric roses.

 To begin my project I took Very Vanilla cs and spritzed it with alcohol mixed with Marina Mist and Island Indigo ink and some Frost White shimmer paint. Then I used a paint brush dipped in my inks and tapped all around the cs. I then cut that piece of cs down to 3 1/2" x 5 1/4". I distressed with edges with some Soft Suede ink. Then I used the 2nd to largest SU Labels Collection Framelit and cut the music dsp. Then I stamped with butterfly from SU Strength & Hope set (if you have a butterfly die, USE IT) and craft cut it out of the center of my music paper. I distressed the inner and outer edges of the music paper with more Soft Suede.

My base card blank is Very Vanilla and I distressed it as well with the same Soft Suede ink.

Bird was punched from the spritzed paper using SU Bird Builder punch and the leaves were punched from SU Blossom Builder punch. I put a piece of the Co'ordniations Early Espresso through my Big Shot with the Woodgrain EF, then I fussy cut it into a branch. The little blue flowers are NEW to Stampin' Up! They are item #126869 pg 5 in the new Seasonal Mini catty. They come in white. I used my Spritzer with the inks and spritzed til I had desired coverage. Love em!

The ribbons are from my stash.

Take It to Heart MOM10

Makeover Monday Challenge #10 with Paper Crafter's Library was to be inspired by the card on the right from Jessica Witty.

I don't think I fell too far off the mark with my Blushing Bride/Basic Black card. This card was created using the New Stampin' Up! set Take it to Heart which can be found in the NEW Occasions Mini Catalog  (pg. 14).The image was stamped in Versa Mark and heat embossed using black ep. I Also used the NEW HEARTS FRAMELITS which can also be found in the mini (pg. 6). My sentiment was created using one the Modern Label Punch and the Modern Label stamp from the Tea Shoppe set (pg. 19 in the mini)which is in the KIT I am offering. The small buttons are the Twitterpated buttons (pg.12) which are also in the KIT!

CR84FN46

Love One Another ---

This is the inspiration for CR84FN46 - Lt. Pink, Yellow and Neutral.

Below is my card. I chose to make a wedding card for a friend of ours who got married in Thailand in December 2011. I was waiting until after they returned from their honeymoon to ask what they needed/wanted as their wedding gift. This is what the groom, our friend, said to me, "We are abundantly blessed. We only need a beautiful card." Isn't that just the sweetest thing?! So here I am presenting you with Sanon & Veena's wedding card. I was presented, from my mom, a bag full of beautiful laces in yellow, pinks, light blue, and ecru. So what I used on my card is the lt. pink, lt. blue, pale yellow and some of the green satin ribbon that was also in the bag. I embossed the pink panel cardstock. Added some flower rhinestones and some glittery leaves.
I added a little loopy string of pearls to the flower.

My sentmient was a little diffcult to read in the above picture so here it is again. It says, "Love one another."

I'm really proud of this photo as for about two years I ahve been trying to take closeups with my camera and had so many failures I had given up. I think I whipped it this time. I actually had some great lighting (one of my Christmas pressies from the hubs) and used the timer on the camera.


Anyhoo, if you'd like to play along with the gals at CR84FN, just pop on over there and follow the rules.

Hope you like my card! Be sure to check out my kit I am selling HERE. But hurry, the deadline to purchase is February 4, 2012.

love - ICS106

All dsp is from Stampin' Up! Play Date collection as are the little stickers. The bird over the ribbon is one of Stampin' Up!'s punches, when you purchase this punch you can use it to punch the bird, it's wing and a branch. For my card I punched two birds and layered one on top of the other with dimentional adhesives. Then I punched the wing out of some of the dsp and layered it with another dimensional. I added a little copper pearl for the bird's eye. The sentiment is stamped in Basic Black ink. This card was created using the sketch at Inspirational Card Sketches for challenge #106.

Love - MOJO174

Love - Verve's Mojo Monday Challenge #174. I stamped my Stampin' Up! Wings of Friendship bird in clear Versa Mark and heat embossed with clear embossing powder. Then I brayered over first with Rose Romance, then Real Red and finally with Cherry Cobbler. Then I used my largest Nestie scalloped oval and cut the image, after which I daubed around the edges with Cherry Cobbler. I used the Stampin' Up! Elegant Bouquet embossing folder to emboss and then I cut it using my Top Notes die. I added ribbons, glitter stickers and rhinestones for some added pizzazz!

with love... CSCC80 Becoming Jane

with love - CinemaSaturdayCreativeChallenge #80 - Becoming Jane and flowers.
I used my Cuttlebug and a piece of kraft cardstock. Ran the cardstock through my bug with the Victoria ef (Note*** my sentiment is also an ef). Then I smudged some mellow moss and only orange all over the raised areas. I cut my stem from a scrap piece of dp from Basic Grey. My flowers are also from Basic Grey dp. I followed this tutorial on SplitCoastStampers.

Love - CSCC78 - Much Ado About Nothing

That Love is all there is, is all we know of Love. Emily Dickinson - Cinema Saturday Creative Challenge #78 use parchment.

Ok yall, I am not sure if I captured the essence of this movie or not. I saw it a long time ago and I remembered them dancing in the garden and that it was a romance so here's my entry. I have mixed emotions - while I am pleased with my brayer-ing and stamping I'm just not sure about capturing the movie. Oh well, there's always tomorrow. :O)

Love - CCCCA19

LOVE - Stampin' Stacey's Curtain Call Color Challenge Act 19. Use Pink Pirouette, Rich Razzleberry, Bashful Blue, and Very Vanilla. Now I know my card looks a little yellowish. It's my dumb camera. Sometimes it gives everything a blue hue and now it's starting to give everything a yellow hue. If anyone has any good suggestions for taking pictures of cards indoors at night I'd really love to hear them.
My pp is from DCWV The Whimsy Stack (which has a light sahde of blue for the back drop then white lace and white and pink swirlies, the word Love and the bird are all part of the cardstock). The floral border is a Martha Stewart punch. The cardstock is Stampin' Up! The little 3-d flower is an added piece as are the ribbon and the three little cabuchon.
