Caardvarks Sticker Challenge

Hi everyone. It's the start of a new week and I am feeling like it is going to be a great one. The sun is shining, the snow is glistening, and all is calm. Even my kids are getting along, normally it isn't like that on Mondays.

Here is my card for the Caardvarks Sticker Challenge. All we have to do is use a sticker on our card and my present sticker is by EKSuccess. I just went with the colors of the sticker and designed my card around that. I love how bold and bright it turned out. Used two of my favorite punches on this card too. The loopy one is by Stampin Up! and the large scalloped on is by EKSuccess.

I have always wanted to do my sentiment on a banner like this, so I thought now was a good time to try it. Very happy with the results. Loving the added dimension to the card.

I hope you all have a great week!!

Supplies:

cardstock, patterned paper, - Papertrey Ink

stamp - Hero Arts

sticker - EKSuccess

punches - Stampin Up!, EKSuccess

ink - Tsukineko

Caardvarks Wedding Card Challenge

Hi everyone. Just popping in today to post my entry for the Caardvarks Challenge. The challenge is to create a wedding card and get this, the winner will get published in CARDS magazine. How awesome is that? So, I couldn't pass up on this opportunity. Check out the challenge HERE and all the amazing inspiration.

It was hard for me to pick colors for this challenge, there are so many possibilities. But since I knew I wanted to go with the Damask background for my card, I figured I would go with bold, elegant colors because that is what came to my mind with this background stamp. I heat embossed the sentiment and added a little bit of sparkle with my frame.

Supplies:

cardstock - Papertrey Ink, Stampin' Up!

stamps - Papertrey Ink (Damask Background), Hero Arts (Sentiment)

ink - Papertrey Ink, Versamark

embossing powder - American Crafts

glitter - Making Memories

flowers - Creative Memories

brad - BasicGrey

stick pins - craft supply

border punch - Stampin' Up!

Caardvarks Red Heart Challenge

Ya know, I have been lurking for way to long at Caardvarks and I have now finally decided to try their newest challenge, the Red Heart Challenge. We have to make sure we incorporate the color red and a heart into our card. So, I just made sure I had a red heart, couldn't make it much simpler on myself. :o) If you want to check out the challenge go HERE for the post. Believe me, you will love what all the designers created for this challenge. Always tons of inspiration at Caardvarks.

I have never used scor-tape before and I don't know now what took me so long. I absolutely love how easy it is to adhere glitter to your cards and pages. Just put the scor-tape where you want it, dump some glitter on top, and pat down to make sure it is secure and there you have it. So easy and love the end result. If you are interested in some, THIS is where I got mine.

Supplies:

card stock, stamps, ink - Papertrey Ink

glitter - Making Memories

embossing folder - Cuttlebug
