Let's See Layers

Welcome back, Friends! 
Please join me for this week's Stamptacular Sunday Challenge #79:  "Layer it On!" 

Create a card that has at least five layers! Use designer papers and cardstocks stacked on top of one another - This is a good opportunity to dig into that scrap paper basket/box/bin that I we all have.  I'll bet you (like me) have lot's of left over designer paper & cardstock pieces stashed somewhere! You can also add 3-D effects, pop-ups, embellishments, etc...  Oh the things you can do! Just make sure you have five layers somewhere on your card front when you're finished!

SPONSOR: The Greeting Farm

PRIZE: Single stamp of winner's choice

Here is my DT card sample....

Card Recipe
Stamps:  Inkadinkado Holiday Words
Ink: Ranger Distress Ink Fired Brick
Paper:  Stampin' Up! Cherry Cobbler, Old Olive, Whisper White, Jolly Holiday; Couture Cardstock Doubloon
Tools:  Nestabilities Labels 8, Fancy Tags
Embellishments:  White satin ribbon, Pearl Brad

My original thought for this project was to dig into my scrap stash & do a "quilt" like card - but then I went to Michael's & bought this new stamp.... I could not resist playing with my new toy immediately!  But anyway, although somewhat clean & simple, my card has EIGHT layers!

    this card just SCREAMS (politely) of rich elegance.
    I adore those gold embellishments and that image is just perfectly showcased with your always unique and creative flare!

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

Spring Flutterings

I had to squeeze some "quiet time" in today, because I did not have anytime last week to do anything.  My 8 month old "Baby Diva" has kept me busy, as she is staying with me while her Mommy is out of town till Wednesday.  Fortunately, she is such a good baby.  She must have known I was feining for some crafting time, because she was so cooperative! 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
