Double Trouble Challenge #96

Troublemaker at Double Trouble Challenge is stuck on the letter "T".  Hence the current challenge is to make a Tall card using Thin Dies.

I used rectangular Dies from LDRS Creative and a wreath die from SU.   The Twinkley little snowman is a dazzles sticker, as are the Two birds.  Teal is the color of the background mat and the bottom wreath.  I added Three snowflakes and tiny red gems in Three sets of Three.  The Merry Christmas, a CTMH stamp, was stamped directly on printable glitter paper. 

This looks so much prettier in person with all the white glitter against the red glitter mat.

 

 For another fun snowman card, check out my previous post where Olaf makes an appearance for Send a Smile 4 Kids.

Step Away From The Table

 Did you ever have one of those days when nothing seems to go right?  No matter how carefully you cut the paper it looks crooked.  Your punch springs apart when you go to use it?  None of your cs matches the piece of dp you plan to use?  That's when it is time to ...

Step Away From The Table

I've reheated my tea and have a sleeve of cookies next to the computer, (yes, a whole sleeve) and have decided to post the Disappearing 9 Patch card I made yesterday.  I saw the design and tutorial in the SCS Weekly Inkling.  And it is very easy to make.

I've used CTMH papers, Sizzix Tim Holtz dies and a chipboard sentiment from my Christmas stash.

Tuesday Morning Sketches Challenge #630

Welcome to my blog, where I have
a new card
to share with you each week for
Tuesday Morning Sketches 
 
Here is this week's sketch:
 

 I flipped the sketch to the right and made this card.

I used a Tim Holtz stamp and did some layering.

The image was colored with markers and pencils.  I tried to capture the sparkle from a layer of Wink Of Stella on the circle section.  The  strips on each end are glitter paper.

This photo gives you a better idea of the way I popped each layer.
 

 

I hope you'll have time to play along at
this week. 
The Design Team would love it if you'd visit our blogs.

Halloween Rosey

Halloween Cuteness is the challenge theme at 

Double Trouble Challenge # 95.

This Halloween card uses a cute digital image from 

Fred She Said called Halloween Rosey.

(I used the precolored version of the digi, SU die cuts and CTMH sentiment.)

I thought this would be a 
"cheerful and cute approach" to Halloween

as requested by Troublemaker at the Double Dare Challenge.  For Twisted Sister there is a strip of washi tape across the bottom of the card and also under the sentiment.  And Double Dare will be pleased to see that I am also entering the Halloween Fun Challenge at Cupcake Inspirations Challenge #530.

Thanks for visiting.
