Christmas Hearts

Hi there.  I'm so glad you stopped by!

I have a NBUS stamp that got some use this week.

First I stamped on Black, heat embossed and filled some of the circles with gems.

A narrow gold mat finished was all it needed.  

Then I stamped it on vanilla cardstock.  Same technique but a different look.  I added

a die cut bow to this one.

The cards are a bit larger than usual, 4 1/2" x 6 1/4"

With Valentine's Day coming up and being my turn to host our Craft Group, I did

a bit of surgery on the stamp and we did art work for the holiday.

Now which one should I share with these challenges?

Challenges:

ABC Christmas - Anything Christmas

Peace on Earth -  Heart

NBUS #71 - Never Before Used Schtuff

 

  

Card Recipe

Stamps:  Big Bubble Heart (Woodware)

Ink:   Encore Gold

Paper:   Black (MFT), Vanilla (SU), Gold Foil, Red Foil

Other:  Gold EP, Gems (TH), Fit to Be Tied (Grtry)

Enjoy!

Krafty Heart

Hi there.  I'm so glad you stopped by!

I'm still working through my Valentine UFOs...

This week's Just Us Girls Challenge is to CASE a Designer and there were lots of

fantastic cards to choose from.  My UFO box yielded this krafty heart pair that I thought

would work to CASE my friend Bobby's card.  Here's what she did...

I have an embossed background and instead of a bear, I have a heart cut from 

corrugated kraft and the red heart the bear is holding shows up in the die cut berries and

itty, bitty heart.

Challenges:

Just Us Girls #760 - CASE a Designer - My friend Bobby

Krafty Chicks #753 - Anything Goes

  

Card Recipe

Stamps: XOXO (?)

Ink:   Baked Brown Sugar

Paper:   Kraft, Neenah Solar White, Sparkle, Real Red, Corrugated

Other:  Sweet & Sassy Framelits Dies (SU), Winterberry Sprigs Die (PS), Gold & Red Sharpies, Confetti Heart Border Punch, Plaid EF

Pink and Red for Color Hues

Hi there.  I'm so glad you stopped by!

It's time for another Color Hues Challenge brought to us by Tracey.

The colors she chose are...

These are perfect colors for upcoming Valentine's Day or

many other occasions.

You can find the Color Hues #103 Challenge here and the wonderful

 cards from our Guests Designer Trina of Phamtastic Designs

and my fantastic teammates will inspire you.

The challenge is open until February 14th at 9:00 AM.

But wait.  There's more...

We are also excited to share with you that we are partnering up this challenge with the Inksprational Challenge! Details are shared below from teammate and card maker extraordinaire Carol Mayne!

******************************

Carol here, one of Color Hues' designers and a designer/behind-the-scenes organizer of Inkspirational Challenges.

The design team gals and I at Inkspirational are delighted to participate in this first-time collaboration with Color Hues. Creating with Red and Pink – a combination open to such a wide range of hues, as well as occasions/events – makes us even more happy! Hopefully, you’ll find our team’s contributions as inspiring as those created by the team here.

This collaboration serves two key goals: to increase exposure of both challenges to players who may/may not know about them and to offer YOU a chance to share your projects in two galleries. If you link up here, please be sure to hop over to Inkspirational to link with us there. We’re hoping for an outstanding number of entries over the course of the two week run of both challenges.

Challenges:

Color Hues #103 - Red & Pink

Inkspirational - Red & Pink

Group of Seven Cardmakers - I didn't ink blend the background first but sponged ink on embossed colored cardstock

Paper:   Pink Pirouette, Shimmery (?), Red Foil
