Happy Birthday! Stampin Up BIG DAY Sell-a-bration

I haven't made a card in about 9 months. Today was the day! I needed a birthday card for my neighbor/friend.  She loves Stampin Up so I pulled out my new Sell-a-bration Set "BIG DAY" to make her a card. I colored it in with copics and added DeNami glitter over the top of the cake and the word Cake. Pretty Pink Posh sequins and a big Bow! 

DeNami Curtain Call: Love Letter Challenge

DeNami is teaming up with the Curtain Call for the Love Letter Challenge this week.

Play along if you get time, you have a chance to win a DeNami gift certificate.

I went classic red and white with this card. I wanted to use the pretty love flourish stamp. It fit perfectly inside of the whimsical oval frame.  I used a small hole punch to add holes around the frame to make it look more like a doily.  Added lots of red touches with twine, washi tape, and heart background. I also added glitter to the frame and inside of the heart.

DeNami Razzle Dazzle Blop Hop

Welcome to the December Blog Hop - RAZZLE DAZZLE!

You should be arriving from Larissa's Blog.  If not, you might want to start at the beginning of the hop by visiting the DeNami Blog.

When I heard the blog hop this month was going to be "razzle and dazzle" I immediately knew I was going to use some pretty DeNami Glitter!  I started off my embossing the Seasons Greetings sentiment in gold.  Then  I used the elegant holly set with the Essential Glue Pad to make the leaves green and the holly red.  I added the strips of gold glittered ribbon at the bottom of the card.  I was inspired by Deb's pretty Christmas tags.

Your next stop on the hop is to visit Tenia.  I'm sure she has something Dazzly for you to see - make sure to leave her a comment and one on every blog along the way.  You have a chance to win a DeNami Gift Certificate! 

10 Minute Craft Dash Challenge #28

10 Minute Craft Dash Challenge #28

I love Paulina's color combos she chooses for her challenges.  I just seem to run out of time to participate.  I'm on it this time!  These colors worked perfectly for a Christmas Card.  I colored the Whimsical Tree image with copics and added some red glitter to the trees and extra fine glitter to the stars. I picked this stamp because it's an "all in one" and thought it would save on time.  I used a chevron embossing folder on the turquoise layer to add some dimension.  

My time was 8 Minutes and 29 Seconds. 

I had a hard time taking a photo of this card. I did cut out the trees and foam taped them up to give them more dimension.

World Card Making Day -Celebrate with DeNami!

It's time to celebrate World Card Making Day with DeNami!  Make sure you visit the DeNami Blog for all of the fun details.... including a chance to win a PRIZE!!

The Challenge picture is below.  I chose to go with Green Glitter and Polka Dots -- I actually combined them all into one!  I used a Glue Pad to create Gamma Green Glittered  Polka Dots!  I stamped the cake image and cut it out and foam taped it up to give the card some dimension.  Make a Wish was stamped using Cherry Pink Impress Ink. 

Retro Sketches RS #32

Here is my card for Retro Sketches #32   

I've always loved this Cherry Blossom Garland stamp.  I've posted a few others you can see here and here.  Seems to be the perfect fall floral stamp.  I stamped it using Versafine Sepia, colored in with copics, added colored pearls and then finished it off with some gold glitter.    Thinking of you was embossed in gold. A few cardstock layers later and a bit of PTI ribbon and I was done.   

We are FINALLY cooling off here in Vegas.  It was in the 60's this morning, my kids put on hoodies to go to school.  Supposed to get up to 80's... perfect!!
