77 Hugs

               

 I used a few challenges for this one starting with a color challenge. Using distressed inks, I blended Spiced Marmalade, Salty Ocean, Chipped Sapphire and Hickory Smoke.  Using a die from Clearly Kelly, I cut the tag using the blended cs.  I attached orange twine to the top of the tag.  I then stamped a large daisy with white embossing powder onto the tag.
Using my Cricut, I cut the two 7's (actually six of them) using Plantin Schoolhouse cartridge (I love the font of this cartridge)  and stacked three together to give them some height and then glued fine orange glitter on top.  Using my cuttlebug, I cut three hugs using Simon Says 'big hugs' die.  Stacking them on top of each other and then again, covering with orange glitter.
Using white cs, I ran an outline of orange, blue, navy and grey marker for a border.  I mounted the tag and the 7's to the card and then mounted the hugs to the tag.  I added the three sequins to the top corner.
I would very much like to add this card to the following challenges.
Chocolate, Coffee and Cards = Use a number (7's)
Simply Create 2 = sparkle (glitter and sequins)
Four Crafty Chicks = Glitter (orange glitter)
CASology = Rough = Glitter
Fantabulous Cricut = ATG ( using cricut cartridge Plantin School House and cuttlebug )
Just Us Girls = photo colors, navy, blue, grey, green and orange.

Thinking of hearts.

 
  I love this heart die, it's my favorite by Spellbinders. I blended Salty Ocean, Chipped Sapphire and Shaded Lilac onto white cs and then ran that through my cuttlebug with the heart die.  The sentiment was stamped onto gold vellum and heat set with clear embossing powder.  I used gold brads to secure it to the white card stock.  All of this on the navy cs.


I would like to add this to the following challenges if I may:

Make My Monday = Sentimental
Tuesday Throwdown = Favorite embellishment (heart die from Spellbinders)
AAA Cards =  # 69 favorite stash (heart die from Spellbinders)

Blended Scene

               This is a single layer card .... starting on white card stock I taped off the top and bottom of the front face.  I blended Distressed Inks in Mustard Seed, Salty Ocean, Blueprint Sketch, Shaded Lilac, Gathered Twigs and Vintage Photo.  I stamped the silhouette of the flowers with Black StazOn with a stamp by Fiskars and then added by hand more grass and flowers with a black sharpie.  I cleaned up the base line with a ruler and black sharpie.
I stamped the birthday sentiment with black StazOn and clear embossing powder to lift it just a bit.
All on a single top fold of white CS.

Blue Tiles

Blue Tiles.

               

        CASing it out. Starting with blue tile papers by Recollections.  I cut that into a rectangle and mounted that onto baby blue card stock.  I hole punched two small holes on either end and ran gold thread through and around a couple of times and tied it into a bow on top.  With gold embossing powder I stamped the sentiment.  I mounted the blue tiles with dimensional tape for depth.

Pink Wishes

     

        Starting with black card stock, I cut a large postage stamp die cut with a Spelłbinders die.  With white card stock, I blended mustard seed and pink  and cut it into the rectangle.  I stamped the sentiment with Stazon black with clear embossing powder and ran faux stitching with a sharpie.  Using yellow ribbon - I threaded that through the holes of the die cut and then adhered the rectangle with dimensional tape. All was the adhered to a hot pink card base.








I went ahead and made a couple more while at it .... Different sentiments, different ribbon and different card bases.
