Here is my card for this week...



I love the black and white colour combination - so crisp & clean.  For this card, I kept it CAS. To create the focal item, I cut two pieces in black, using my Nestie Renaissance Heart Pendant. I then scored and folded both pieces to resemble a "fan," and glued both pieces together. The white center piece is from the same Nestie collection. To pull is all together, I attached a large black brad in the center, and topped that off with Prima Jewelry. The results is this lovely "pinwheel."  I have had the Renaissance Heart Pendant for a while now, but this is the first project I have been able to use it with!  What other goodies do I have in my craft stash that I not used?  Hmmm....

Card Recipe:
Tools: Nestabilities Renaissance Heart Pendant, Cuttlebug Embossing Folder -
Embellishments: Kaisercraft Pearls - Snow, Primas Jewelry, Sheer Black Ribbon, Black Embossing Powder.
Stamp: Stampin' Up!

Season's Change

Welcome back, Friends!  Come join me this week for Stamptacular Sunday Challenge #78 - "Season's Change!" This week's challenge is to create a card or project using ONLY colors of Fall!   Oooh, how pretty, huh?! Our SPONSOR this week is  Magnolialicious Our lucky winner's PRIZE:  Here is my DT creation for this week's AWESOME challenge theme.... An inside view of the card, and custom envelope/box. All of the flowers on this card are handmade. I know, you're probably thinking, "oh what a lot of work!"  Actually, it really is not. I use paper punches to create the flowers and leaves. So, whenever I have very small scraps of paper I punch them with my floral punches & store them in a box for future use. It's very convenient for me to have the pieces already punched too. Then, whenever I get bored or often while I watch TV, I "form" the flowers & store them away so that they're ready when I need them. This is my box o...
