 Here is the website to put your recipe card on!

Here is the recipe --

• 1 sentiment as the main image
• 2 different ribbons
• 3 brads or buttons

I used the Sanqunetti Design Images Blooming Friend sentiment and sponged by background with Versa Magic lime and diecut with Nesting Circles by Quickutz. The sentiment was outlined with Sakura glitter pens. I used 2 different ribbons -- one flat and one a bow and then added 3 buttons. 

This is another Criss Cross card and the inside I did use a floral image and sentiment and had to add some pearls to finish it off. They were colored with Copics and Sakura glitter pens. The Key Lime cs from GKD and K & Company dp finishes the diagonals off.

Have fun and create a Recipe you can enjoy and use!

Flowers In Peach

This is for MyGrafico Challenge...Flowers in Peach..February 18. For this one I decided to try and do a criss cross card and it was unbelievably fast and easy!!

 Here is the website. You have until March 2 to enter. You can win this Blooming Friends Digital stamp set by Sanqunetti Designs .

I used Donna-Salaza Design dp and GKD Just Peachy and white cs. The criss cross card is easy to make by first cutting your cs for a 51/2 x 41/4 card...fold...then cut the front at a diagonal. Then use the other diagonal for the other criss cross. After the dp paper is measured and cut then it is just attached. I added the ribbon and then used tape to attach the front to the back. Do your measuring for your insert and it will then slide in and out.

These lovely digi images are from Sanqunetti Design and have LOTS of possiblities for ways to put them together. I used 3 of the sentiments and then used 3 different versions of one of the floral images. Quite fun to arrange. I colored with Copics and Sakura glitter pens and cut out with Nesting Circles by QuicKutz. The background of the images and sentiment were sponged with memento cantaloupe and Galore yellow. Added a bow and some bling and the perfect card to send to a friend...and I have just the friend to send it to! Have a great day!

Insert is all the way down...

Here the insert is pulled up....

Sit Long, Talk Much, Laugh Often!

Welcome to the 4th Challenge of Chalk-Ah-Lot Cafe--use chalk as a background. Remember you must used our chalks BUT any image!!!! If you want the chalk....be sure to check out the website! Check it out here! Great offerings on there!!!!  What a great way to do the background! *Here is the website to enter the challenge!

I used a Paper Studios Whimsy Frame embossing folder and after the embossing just applied the powdered chalk directly on the paper with a sponge dauber! So easy and NO mess and NO fixative necessary!!! Just sponge, wipe and DONE!!!!

The cs was GKD white and K and Company dp and that is what I matched the colors to. I was SO pleased to find chalk and copics that were an EXCELLENT match!! The stamp image (from Stamp N Plus Scrap N) was stamped with Tuxedo Black Memento and then I colored the tea pots and cups with Copics and accented with Sakura glitter pens. The sentiment I stamped twice and sponged with with chalk, then traced the letters with Sakura glitter pens and glued the layer on top...didn't want to have a total pop up look so just a second layer did the trick. Then added some ribbon and some bling. A great card to send to a friend who YOU love to chat with!

Hope to see your entry!!! The winner will receive a mini stamp set!

Blessings of Easter

This is for the Joy Fold Challenge suggested by Pat at Speedy Fox and Friends Challenge for February 18. I used the MFP a Heinrich Company Blessings stamp. This is a square Joy Fold card.
                                             *here is the website!

First measured the card base...41/4 x 6 and scored at 41/4 and the little card is 3x6 scored at 3...then measured and cut the dp paper to fit. The dp is from Design Originals and Oriental Trading. The cs is from GKD Key Lime and the white is MFP snow storm. The images were stamped with Memento Tuxedo Black and colored with Copics and Sakura glitter pens I used Spellbinders Classic Postage Stamp and Scalloped Square large for the diecuts. The sentiments were stamped with Grape Jelly Memento and the inside was New Sprout Memento...the background was sponged with Versa Magic Sea Breeze and Lime. Added some ribbon, some pearls and accented some of the sentiments with Sakura Glitter pens.

And do hope you come up with a Joy Fold Card of your own. If you are as unsure of what kind of a card this is as I was, do a google search and YOU will find several different You Tubes as well as directions!! Good luck....some directions are better than others! :-)

Happy Winter

For Fun Challenge for this time is to use a snowman and/or flake...No sponsor so use those rubber stamps or digi images that you have! Here is the website to enter your winter creation!

I looked through my MANY Christmas/Winter stamps and found these and couldn't resist...GKD stamps on the inside and Art Impressions on the front. They were stamped with Tuxedo Black Memento and the front was fussy cut after coloring with Copics and Sakura glitter pens. Then added some ribbon, some bling and popped up the different parts of the snowman on the front. The cs was GKD white and the dp is from Scrap Your Trip.

The inside was cut with Spellbinders Labels. These are the GKD Snow Much Fun stamps. The background is sponged with Summer Sky Memento.  Added some snowflake stickers and wishing everyone a Happy Winter!!

Happy Valentine's Day...What is in the box??

This is for the MyGrafico Monday Feature -- using Vintage Labels. This Vintage labels have LOTS of possibilities and uses! (here is the website)

I decided to create some Valentine treasures! I first created a box....used white cs from MFPaHC and Paper Pizzaz dp and a stash piece of embossed pink cs. The pattern for the box was taken from Cutting Cafe. The box was cut out first and the lines scored...then cut out and scored the dp pieces....and started folding and taping. Then put on the finishing touches of some Sakura glitter pens accent on the Vintage labels, cut the labels out with Petite Scalloped Circles Large by Spellbinders,  added some ribbon on the cover, some decos, bling and stickers on the box....and filled the box with ???? Hmmmm??? Wonder what it is??

Then decided to finish the treat box off with a card. Again used the Petite Scalloped Circles Large and cut out a card and another Vintage label....attached the label to the front and decorated with decos, stickers and ribbon...the inside was totally with stickers!

And Happy Valentine's Day! Look down below and you will see the treat in the box! :-)

Happy Valentine's Day! This is the front of the card and box!
