C.R.A.F.T. Challenge #76

Happy day before Friday, Friends!
For this week's challenge we have a colour Inspiration:

Our challege is sponsored by Stef aka "Glitterbabe"
http://glitterbabesart.blogspot.com/

One lucky winner can choose 2 free digi's from the shop.
Here is my DT card for this week:
This cute little girl is my very first stamp from The Greeting Farm - a goodie from one of my Stampin' Sisters, Priscilla.  Thanks again, my "Sis-tah!"
I did not have any ready made flowers to match this color scheme, so I made the flowers using my daisy & birch leaf punches.
Here is a view of my card with the tag insert removed.
I used my stubby stamps from Judith for the tri-fold card background.

The tag insert opens & has plenty of space to stamp another sentiment
or write a little note within.
 This started out as a Trifold Card, but ended up being a little more than intended... I have a tendency to add on things, or cut, tear & completely change my original project ideas.  Sometimes, if I really don't like the outcome, I'll rip the entire thing apart & start over! 

Anywho, I've also created a tag/card to insert into the Trifold.  And guess what?  I actually made a tutorial!  Woo-hoo!  I'll be honest, most of the time I just measure & cut & keep on going.... I don't often make tutorials or templates, although I know I really ought to.  Linda, my sis-in-law, crafting partner & enabling buddy, always asks (more like "nags" - haha! wink!) about making templates for my projects. This one's for you, Linda! Ta-da!

I hope you'll join us at The C.R.A.F.T. Challenge! My DT mates & I look forward to seeing your wonderful creations!

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
