Sympathy card, Veterans Day Thank You

I thought I would post this card today in remembrance for all the Veterans lives that were lost, to honor them and their families.  We are grateful to all the families who have shared the ones they love, they have paid such a high price for our freedom.  Thank you, and I am sorry for your loss.  I am also grateful for those still serving our country, thank you and may God keep you all safe.
The paper is DCWV Lemon Flower, roses are from Dollar Treasure, I used a Stampin Up punch to frame the Deepest Sympathy from the Many Blessings set from Lindsay's Stamp Stuff Shop Handmade shop.  
Lindsay is now offering  a Frugal Crafter, Friday Podcast, this is such a great way to start my morning, I can listen to Lindsay talk while I put my stuff away in my craft room, I love it!  I am sure you will too, today she is sharing some handmade Holiday gift ideas.  Thanks for looking.  ~Diane
I am adding this to Designs by Lisa Somerville's  Link Party: Veterans Day Challenge.

Bunny Pair

I made this card for the Bella Unique challenge, this challenge want's you to try and make your own bling flourishes. I used the recommended Liquid Pearls along with a  Bazzill jewel template, I traced the dots onto the cs and went over it with Liquid Pearls twice, the first attempt they were too small and did not look like pearls so I made them a bit larger.  The image is from Graphics Fairy, cs is DCWV and Stampin Up. 
The beautiful flowers are from Pizzazz Aplenty.  I can not say enough nice things about that store.  Judy is always so generous with her samples and they are separate from  the gift with purchase she offers.  Her products are beautiful and unique, her customer service is second to none and her prices are beyond reasonable.  This is not a paid promotion, I am just so happy to have found her I want to share her store with all of you.  I have 2 pictures to share with you.  One is what I ordered the other is the gift with purchase and free samples she sent along.  My order came to $17.75 plus $3.00 shipping, so I was able to cart all of this away for the small price of $20.75!  I love the $3.00 shipping!  I love all the beautiful bling I found here too!  And on top of all of that I love the way she packages it all up.  I can remove the header from the bags and I have my beautiful bling in a tiny resealable zip lock bag!  You can follow her blog so you will see all the latest specials  and the new products she is always bringing in.
Thanks for looking.  ~Diane

Trick or Treat

I just had to show the inside and outside of this card, it measures 4" x 9" and has a pocket inside where you can tuck in a Hershey Bar or a Halloween treat certificate.  The adorable Treaters are from Scrolls Work  Halloween collection, along with the Large Corner Web and Trick or Treat sentiment.  I used Stazon ink, Spellbinders Grand 12" Classic Lace Border, Shapeabilities Fancy Tags on the inside and  Labels 8 Nestabilities on the front.  I embossed with Cuttlebug D'vine Swirls embossing folder.  The card stock is DCWV , Stampin Up and vellum.  I used a little Crystal Effects on the spider and lots of dimensional foam all throughout, I love that stuff!  Stop by the Scrolls Work blog and see the awesome work my DT sisters have to share with you too.  Thanks for looking.  ~Diane

Sweet and Juicy


I made this card for this weeks Fruit Smoothies challenge at Kahwinkedink, I hope you will join us there this week.  This image is called Orange Slice and it's available in the Kahwinkedink store.  The fab layout is from the sketch I found at 2 Sketches 4 You.  I had a lot of fun making this card, I painted the little white seeds with poster paint for a little more dimension.  I printed the image twice, cut and glued the darker orange onto the slices.  I used Versamark ink to stamp and trim all the edges of this card.  The dp and butterfly are DCWV.  The Mardi Gras beads are from Dollar Treasure.  The My Friend stamp is  Stampin Up along with Texture Plates Kit 4  Distressed.  I also used Cuttlebug Swiss Dots embossing folder.  Please stop by Kahwinkedink for your free Digi Tuesday stamp and to see the inspiration from the rest of the DT.  Thanks for looking.  ~Diane

The Purrr-fect Dad.

My sweet Kitty is a digi image from Kahwinkedink store.  The Kahwinkedink blog challenge this week is to make a Fathers Day card, I hope you will join us.  Today Kristen is offering another free image (every Tuesday) so stop over and see what she has in store for you.   While you are there see what my DT sisters have made for this challenge too.  These talented gal's have a lot of wonderful ideas for Fathers Day cards.
 A funny thing happened on the way to making this card.  This card must weigh 4 pounds by now.  It started out with just the lay out you see, but I did not have a place to put the sentiment, so I thought I would have the card open on the front panel, great idea huh?  I couldn't remove my original panels so I glued the folded pieces over the top.  Then the inside did not look right so I added 2 green panels, the sentiment was hidden, so OK lets add more panels to the inside, problem solved.  Now the card won't stay closed!  OK add some pennies behind  Kitty, 2 no, I needed 4 to balance it!  Dare I tell you when I placed the sentiment on the inside I placed it upside down?  I love this lay out, I will use it again, but next time I will start off with a plan! 
I used Kahwinkedink's Kitty digi image, DCWV cs paper pieced, Spellbinders Deckled Mega Rectangles Nestabilities, and
Stampin Up Big Shot Texturz Plate Backgrounds #1 Large dots.

Contemporary Butterfly


I made this card for 2 challenges.  The challenge at Tellens Place is to use more than 1butterfly or a dragonfly in your project.  I also used the sketch at Sweet Sketch Wednesdays for the lay out.  Actually I goofed and had only 1 butterfly, as I was writing this post I noticed the word MORE than one, in bold no less.  Off I dashed to add more butterflies, ha ha.  Card Stock is DCWV Blossoms and Butterflies,  I used Spellbinders Lotus Pendant and Shapeabilities, Spellbinders Ribbon Tags Trio Shapeabilities.  The butterflies are  Stampin up Wonderful Wings and Martha Stewart medium punch.  I finally tried out the Imaginisce i*top Brad Maker, Small Topper Punch,  Small Brad Daddies that I won.  These were so easy to make, and I like the contemporary look they gave to this card.  I can see where making these can be addictive!  The ribbon I had was a bright white, so I used Ranger's Tim Holtz Distress Ink Scattered Straw to give it the same yellow tinge that the dp had.  I really like the Ranger distressing inks!  The stamped sentiment is a Just Rite stamp.  Thanks for looking, ~Diane

My first ATC


 Wow!  My first ATC and I won the challenge at Tellens Place!  And I won a $10.00 gift certificate to Scrapbook.com!  Thank you so very much! 

I made this ATC for the challenge at Tellens Place.  This is my first ATC, I was a feeling a bit awkward, I usually make 5 x 7 cards so this was really tiny for me.  I am glad though, towards the end it started to  come together for me.  And when ever I do something new I grow.  The darling digi image is from Tellens Place, the paper is DCWV The Sweet Stack, 2 scrap ribbons and the ric rac is new all from JoAnns.  I used a little foam to lift the images off the card stock. I also used Ranger's Tim Holtz Distress Ink worn lipstick.   BTW, those are chocolate chip cookies I am mixing up in the bowl, ha ha.  Thanks for looking, ~Diane

It's our husbands, ha ha

This card won the challenge at Tellens Place along with a $10.00 Gift Certificate to spend at  Quixotic Paperie, Whoo Hoo!
 I made this card with one of the Diva images from Tellens Place.   The sentiment is from a card I saw 15 years ago when the book I'm OK You're OK was popular, and the sentiment still cracks me up.   The layout is from the Tellens Place Challenge.  I actually planned this out for a few different challenges.  The Order of Opus Gluei wants to see sparkles.  I hope you can see the glitter in the card stock and I used it for trim and my jewels are very sparkly also.  Practical Scrappers wants to help us use up the supplies we have, this week it is markers.  I used my Stampin Up markers, Copic, and Spica Atyou ( for the table glitter, ) and I almost forgot the Souffle 3D ink!  Something Completely Different uses letters of the alphabet for inspiration, this week the letter is W,  I am using it for Women.  And Stamp Something has challenged us to use the color pink.  Wow, that's a lot of challenges for me!  The Digi image is from Tellens Place.  The paper is DCWV The Sweet Stack, markers are Stampin Up,  Copic skin tone marker and Copic Spica Atyou glitter markers.  I used both the Spellbinders Petite Ovals Nestabilities and Classic Ovals Nestabilities.   Glitter, jewels and ribbon all from JoAnns.  Thanks for looking, ~Diane

Who said sparkling frog legs?

This charming frog is a freebie digi image from Kards and Klay - Kahwinkedink.  I had this cute DCWV card stock with the silverware and the glitter and I thought perfect!  The challenge at The Order of Opus Gluei is for green, anything green.  And Kards and Klay  is for a pond theme.  Raise the Bar is also looking for green.  I also wanted to use some of the Meyer Imports Take and Make Glass Glitter - Greens Blend 70 grit.  I used it on the tummy of the frog and on a silk flower.  It is really chunky and lots of fun to work with!  I bought the glitter after Christmas, Meyer Imports was offering free shipping, so I thought I would give it a try, fabulous, so glad I did!  Simple card, not too many ingredients in this recipe, but here goes.  Digi image Kards and Klay - Kahwinkedink card stock DCWV NANA'S Kitchen, Meyer Imports Take and Make Glass Glitter - Greens Blend 70 grit.  Spellbinders Labels 8 Nestabilities and last but certainly not least, Copic atyou Spica glitter marker pen's.  Thanks for looking, ~Diane

Card Club Swaps

Notice the similarity?  Sorry for boring you but these came out so much nicer than the one I did the other day, I just had to post them.  These are for the Polycraft Challenge 35 distressing.  These are 4 1/4 x 5 1/2 in size and I added a butterfly I punched out of vellum and added glitter to.  I also like the antique embroidered lace, green twill, and beads I added to these.  I punched the side of the card stock and the dp on 1 side only.  I also wanted to mention I found that instead of regular clear embossing powder you can use the thicker glassy glaze.  I also found that after I used the Versamark to adhere the 1st layer of embossing, as long as I moved quickly I could just dump it into the embossing again without re inking.  I used tweezers and kept the surface hot so it would stick to itself.  Product lineup for these cards, Graphics 45 dp, Papertrey Spring Moss twill tape, KLM digi image, Spellbinders Lotus Pendant, Paper and More pink blush vellum, yellow and pink cs from DCWV and Stampin Up Sale-a-brate scallop punch and glassy glaze.  I also used Tim Holtz Distress Ink in Tea Dye both before I embossed and again after to fill in the cracks.

From Complicated and time consuming to simple and easy.

This is made with the DCWV THE SWEET STACK and vellum from Paper and More center flower cut with Cricut Accent Essentials cartridge,Spellbinders Fleur de Lis Pendant Shapeabilities, Spellbinders Deckled Mega Rectangles Nestabilities, small flower punched with Stampin Up punch, thank you from Stampin Up and satin ribbon.
More of the DCWV THE SWEET STACK card stock, vellum Happy Birthday printed on the computer, Princess does not show up well, but the word is made of rhinestones. Balloons made with Cricut Walk in my Garden, the crowns were made with the Sizzix embossing plate on Core'dinations card stock that I cut and sanded, then added glitter to the centers.
This cupcake was made by using my Cricut Walk in my Garden, the flower pot, I used a corner rounder on the bottom edges. The circles were punched with an EK Success punch, I used the Souffle pens to add the sprinkles. The card stock is from DCWV The Sweet Stack .
More DCWV Sweet Stack card stock and a ribbon.
So I went from complicated and time consuming to very simple and easy in these cards. I hope you enjoy, thanks for looking. ~Diane

MAGICAL MONDAY CHALLENGE CARD - Ribbon & Bow, Eldon with Flower

Eldon with Flower


Below is what it looks like when you shake the beads around.
This week I needed to make a card for a special young man. So I made this challenge card for There's Magic in the Air. The image is totally free and totally adorable! The challenge calls for the use of Eldon with Flower and use some ribbon and a bow. I followed Curt's lead and gave him a bow tie and attached the ribbon to the planter. I've been wanting to make another shaker card ever since I saw Curt's shaker cards. So I copied the image on to a piece of clear acetate and colored it with Dixon overhead projection markers (that I found at the dollar store) I used Spellbinders Labels 8 Nestabilities
to cut a window into card stock from DCWV THE SWEET STACK . I used the dimensional foam to separate the acetate from the card stock , added a piece of torn green vellum from Paper and More and placed two colors of green seed beads into the card for the shaker element. This was fun to make and I hope my special young man will like it, I know I do. Thanks for looking. ~Diane
