It's Hip to be SQUARE!

The Shabby Tea Room Challenge #5: "It's Hip to be Square"

This week's challenge is to create a card or project with squares, using this picture for inspiration.

I see lots 'n lots of squares! 


Here is my interpretation - another pseudo-CAS card (for me, at least).... I have been wanting to make a shutter card.  This is my first one...




I have also entered this card in the following challenges:
Papertake Weekly Challenge#10: "Cutie Pie"

Creative Card Crew Challenge #48: "Happy Birthday"

One Stop Craft Challenge #75: "On the Move"
Cupcake Craft Challenge #86: "Childhood Memories"

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.

I was kind of all over the place with this card.  It has a little bit of everything: Stamping, stitching, handmade flowers ( you know me & my handmade flowers!), border punches, and a pretty butterfly.   I wanted to try making a new flower.  The larger flower was created using an apple, star & daisy punches.  Each of the flower centers have a touch of bling by Viva Decor glitter pen in "Hologram."  The butterfly was cut from a Nesties die.  I blinged up each layer with stickles & hit with 2 coats of Crystal Effects.  I used Kaiser Craft pearls in "Bliss" for the body & coiled some
