WPlus9 Color Cue Challenge #10

Kraft - Red - Purple - White  --- WPlus 9 Color Cue Color Challenge.  I always try to find time for Dawn's Color Cue Challenges, she always picks fun color combos.  I bought some Cork from Mish and wanted to use it for the Kraft color on my card. I was happy to find out I could punch it with Marvy punches. I pulled out a few of my WPlus 9 Stamps sets and came up with this card minutes later.  I love it when my plan actually comes together!

Tuesday Trigger & 2 Sketches 4 You

Here is another card I made for some Fun challenges.  I used Kazan's sketch #66 from 2 Sketches 4 You, along with the fabulous picture above from the Tuesday Trigger.  Another 1st challenge for me this week- I've never participated in the Tuesday Trigger.  I new instantly I wanted to make some red ruffles to match the shirt in the picture, and once I found the sketch I just had to decide what stamp would work.  I used the Holly Ball from DeNami. I colored in with my copics and sat it onto my glue pad and sprinkled some pretty extra fine glitter on top.

For the October DeNami Blog Hop I made Thanksgiving place cards, so I thought this would be a perfect time to make Christmas Place cards to share with you. 

How cute are these little penguins?  The banner is blank so you can decorate however you chose.  I hand wrote our names and colored it in with my Copics. Added some red glitter and red glitter ribbon.  The Essential Glue Pad worked perfect with the snowflake stamp to create a glittery snow background on the blue cardstock.  I'm sure to have a festive table with these little guys!

DeNami Color Challenge

Color Challenge Time at the DeNami Blog ---so many pretty creations made by the design team, go check it out!!  Jo Chose some AWESOME Colors to work with -- so my card came together quite quickly.  I instantly thought to use a tree and leaves with these colors, but I wanted to do something different.  I chose the Cherry Blossom Floral Stamp and loved how it turned out. I added a touch of color with the Elegant Floral Leaf Sprig around the cherry blossom.  I normally am not late sending out birthday cards, but the sentiment fit perfectly into the frame I stamped.  I used the quickie glue pen to add some gorgeous gold glitter.  The DeNami gold glitter is gorgeous --- so many colors make it sparkle - I tried a close up shot so you can see it sparkle below.

DeNami CHRISTMAS Theme Challenge

 

It's October, but it's time to plan ahead for Christmas Cards.  The DeNami Blog is packed full of Christmas Creations... check it out!  Who know's what they are making this year?  I thought I would use an "all in one" stamp for my card.  This is one of my favorite Christmas images -Leafy Christmas Scene. I love how easy it is to ink 1 stamp, stamp, emboss, glitter, DONE!  You could easily change the color scheme to do a more traditional Christmas Colors.  Wouldn't it look gorgeous embossed in gold, maybe red/green or burgundy/hunter.  I used the quickie glue pen and some extra fine glitter to fill in the open leaves on the trees, and added some rhinestones to the top of each tree.  

Stamps: Leafy Christmas Scene

Cardstock: Silver, Charcoal, Amythst

Misc: Silver Pad, Clear Embossing Powder, Extra Fine Glitter, Rhinestones, Quickie Glue Pen.

DeNami Feautred Product -CORNSTALKS

It's time for the featured product on the DeNami Blog.  The Cornstalk stamp is the chosen stamp.  Make sure you visit the DeNami Blog and see the variety of projects the Design Team made using this 1 stamp.   I stamped the Cornstalk across the cream paper, and a few more times onto some scrap paper.  I cut a few cornstalks out to add dimension.  The little turkey is stamped, cut out, and I put foam tape to give him some pop.  The yellow Citrone glitter is a perfect accent for the cornstalks and turkey.  I love the brown glitter ribbon, perfect way to bling up a traditional Thanksgiving card.
