Now, on to my project for today.  I decided to go for a 3D item again, I do so LOVE to make treat holders!  This one is a Valentine Treat made with Hearts Framelits. Wouldn't you just love to get this?!  I think the color combo of Strawberry and Slush and Coastal Cabana is just gorgeous!   I used the new SPIRAL FLOWER DIE to make this rose.  I can really see getting addicted to making these, they are so much fun!  This one in particular is TWO pieces of Strawberry Slush rolled together to make ...

Happy Thanksgiving!  I hope you all have a wonderful day with your family and friends.  Today I have a challenge card to share, there is a new sketch at Create with Connie and Mary. I have been on a roll with Christmas cards, so I did another one!  This one features Festive Flurry and A Banner Christmas. I used Coastal Cabana and Strawberry Slush as my colors.  The Strawberry Slush just pops against the Coastal Cabana...love it!  The DSP is from the Brights Collection DSP pack and there is a strip of Silver Glimmer paper on the left side.  I added bling of course, Frosted Finishes Embellishment and Rhinestone gems. This was a really fun sketch to work with, I hope you will join along!  You can find all the details and more samples from the Design Team at Create with Connie and Mary .  Thanks for visiting today!

It's Monday again and time for a new sketch from Mary Jo at Technostamper.  Another really fun sketch this week, take a look. I wasn't sure what I wanted to do at first.  I took at look at my stamps from the Holiday catalog and decided to go with a Christmas card.  But not just any card , a pop up card with Color Me Christmas as the main focus.  Here's the front of the card. The first part of the card I focused on was the banners on the left side.  I thought about using Gorgeous Grunge or card stock banners.  But then I realized that the chevron stamp from A Banner Christmas would work perfectly for the sketch.  I used Old Olive, Real Red, and Crumb Cake for my chevron colors.  The greeting is from Oh, Goodie.  It's stamped with Real Red on Whisper White and die cut with a Bitty Banner Framelit.  Santa was stamped with StazOn Black on Glossy card stock and fussy cut so it could be added to the card with dimensionals.  I colored Sant...

It's Thursday again and time for a new Create with Connie and Mary Challenge! This week I have a fun card using the new Festive Flurry.  Before I show you my card, let's look at the colors. And here is the flip card I made. This is my first card using the new Flip Thinlet and I love it!  So much fun and so much easier than the flip cards I have done in the past.  Here's the details: 1.  Cut a card base of Soft Sky with the Circle Flip Thinlet.  My card stock measured 5 1/2" x 6". 2.  I cut Whisper White card stock with the thinlet as well so I could add stamped panels to the card.  I didn't have any DSP in Soft Sky, so I made my own with the snowflakes. 3.  I cut two Wisteria Wonder circles using the Circles Framelits and added one to each side of the flipping circle.    I also stamped a Wisteria Wonder snowflake on Whisper White and used the scalloped circle die that came with the Flip Thinlet.  Added a bit of bling to the sno...
