Time for another Paper Take Weekly Challenge!

Tweet

Hi Everyone!

This week's sponsor @ Paper Take Weekly is The Paper Shelter. Now, I love to color, so I very seldom use pre-colored digis but their "Romantic Cupcakes" are so cute that I made an exception!

Our challenge is to use "Ribbons and Pearls"

My ribbon is the beautiful Fuchsia Shimmer Satin from Really Reasonable Ribbon.

And my pearls are the Vintage Pink Pearl brad and the Gradient Pink Pearl Stickers from Creative Charms.

This card also works perfectly as an example in Really Reasonable Ribbon's Ramblings challenge which is "Hearts and Ribbons" sponsored by Creative Charms!

The beautiful paper is Heavenly White, Azalea, Amethyst, and Emerald from The Paper Temptress.

Thanks so much for dropping by!

Hope to see you in our challenge!

Hugs,

True :D

Paper Take Weekly DT "Brrrthday Snowman" Card

Tweet

Good Tuesday morning to you!

I have already got the fireplace stocked! Looks like it is going to be a cold snowy day here in Kansas!

How fitting for my post today!

Paper Take Weekly's challenge is "Cold and Frosty Morning". LOL!

For my sample card, I used my very own "Brrrthday Snowman" illustration.

It is available for purchase @ Clear Dollar Stamps for just $3.00. I bet you have someone on your list who has a winter birthday.  ;)

The cardstocks are Heavenly White,  Mountain Rose, and Spring Larch, all from The Paper Temptress.

The glitter paper is from The paper Studio.

The pretty ribbon is Really Reasonable Ribbon's  Sage Satin Shimmer.

I watercolored the image then added Diamond Glaze.

Hope you will head on over to PTW and join us in our "Cold and Frosty Morning" challenge.

Please leave a comment before you go.  They WARM my heart!  :)

Hugs,

True :D

PTW challenge sample and a card for my sick friend Katie

Tweet

Hi Everyone!

I have 2 cards to share with you today.

The first is my sample card for the Paper Take Weekly's "Anything Goes" challenge with the option of adding lace. I didn't add lace because I forgot but it was an "option" after all so I am good! ;)

I guess I have been under a rock because this is my very first "Lili Of The Valley" card. I have always loved seeing what others create with their pretty images but am usually so busy creating with my design team images, that I seldom use non-design team stuff. Since LOTV is sponsoring PTW this week...I got to play! :)

 The image is called "Best Friends" and it is one of LOTV's newest releases. It is watercolored.

The papers are Heavenly White, and Amethyst Mica Metallic from The Paper Temptress.

The beautiful ribbon is Turquoise Satin Shimmer from Really Reasonable Ribbon.

The jewels are Clear Gradient Gem Stickers from Creative Charms that I colored with Copic markers to match my paper and ribbons.

The pretty roses are from Wild Orchid Crafts.

I am entering this card in the Lili Of The Valley "New Beginnings" challenge. My new thing is that pretty image and the fact that I am new to using LOTV stamps!  ;)
I am also entering it in the following challenges:
My Time To Craft ~ "Brand Spankin' New"

Paper Sundaes ~ "Something New"

Flourishes Timeless Tuesday ~ "Use Flowers"

Stamp Something ~ "With Glitter"

One Stop Craft Challenge ~ "New Beginnings"

Tuesday Throwdown  ~ "Add Embossing"

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

My second card is for my sweet friend Katie, a young mother, wife, and fellow design team sister, who  has just recently been diagnosed with stage 4 stomach cancer. Her friends in the Clear Dollar Stamps team have started a card drive for her. Please visit the Clearly iStamp blog to view some of our cards for her, leave her an encouraging message, and to see how you can join us in letting her know that she is loved and supported by many.

Funny...I made these cards over a week apart and didn't realize until I loaded the picture on this page that I used the exact same papers, ribbon, and a WOC's flower on this one too! I didn't even think about them posting on the same day. Guess you know what my fave supplies de'jour  were! LOL!

The image is from Clear Dollar Stamps ~ "Every Day Jar-Gon" set.

Thanks so much for dropping by!

One of my "New Years" resolutions is to leave more comments on my friend's blogs.

Hope it's one of yours too! *hint* *hint*  ;)

Hugs,

Paper Take Weekly Challenge ~ "Red and Green Must Not Be Seen Christmas " Card

Tweet

Hi everyone!

Today's challenge at Paper Take Weekly is to create a Christmas card without any red or green. Sure makes you think outside of the box! I have done a couple of blue and white cards already this month so I went a different direction. 

I got tons of  "cocoa" themed ribbons in this month's ribbon of the month kit from Really Reasonable Ribbon and wanted to play with some of it.

The stamp is from Studio G Clear Stamps. I have had it for a couple of years (don't even remember where I got it) and it had never been inked. I thought the poke-a-dot trees would work perfectly with that yummy poke-a-dot ribbon.

The papers are Brown Bag and Hot Fudge from The Paper Temptress, plus a piece of a speckled natural color from my scrap stash.

I used Staz-On Timber Brown ink.

Thanks so much for stopping by!

Hope to see you in the challenge!

Hugs,

True :D
