Paper Pretties Monday Challenge - Red, white, and a color of your choice!

I wanted to go for a little different shape for my card this week! We have a color choice this week -- red, white, and another color. I chose green! I ended up not having any time to be able to make my Christmas cards this year, so I guess I'm not burned out yet! The few that I have will go to our close family.

This little cutie is Emalina, and she comes with four sentiments for you to choose from. I used Nestabilities to cut out the scalloped shapes. Then, I used my Creative Memories circle cutter to cut the shape of the card. The "pearls" around the card are made using my gold and silver Viva Decor pearl pens. Love them!

PTT44 - Anything Goes

Hello! It's Tuesday, and it is time to party at Party Time Tuesdays this week! I have two cards to feature for you...my card for this week (above), and my card from last week (below). We have an anything goes challenge this week, and we are featuring some awesome stamps from Crafts and Me and products from Viva Decor! On my card above, I was able to use the Viva Decor embossing creme! Wow, it was amazing! I did have a booboo, but that was my fault! Trying to cover it up always makes for an interesting combo of things. I actually used a copper Viva Decor Pearl Pen to help hide it! The way that the embossing creme puffs up is gorgeous! The photo doesn't do it justice!

My second card features stamps from Simply Betty. I requested the mermaid, not really thinking through the fact that our challenge theme last week was snow! So, I had to get a little creative, and I created my own snow globe! Too funny! I even had to create a base for it with one of my Nestability shapes! The background paper is from a 6x6 Bo Bunny pack, and the cardstock is Marina Mist and Soft Suede.

Paper Pretties Monday Whatnots - Happy Thanksgiving!

It is only a week away--Thanksgiving--you know that holiday that gets lost in between Halloween and Christmas. At least the retailers see it as a lost holiday. However, we are "giving thanks" this week at Paper Pretties, and we have two great images to release today. The one I chose to work with is called Cornucopia, and it was fun to color all of those fruits and vegetables! The sentiment is also part of the set. I accented the sentiment with some of my Viva Decor Bronze Pearl Pen. The panel behind the sentiment is matted with brown glitter paper. It needed a little va-va-voom!

If you would like to join the challenge this week of giving thanks, please find more details and upload your card HERE. Thanks for stopping by today!

PTT41 Bling in On!

Hello lovelies!! We are getting blingy and sparkly at Party Time Tuesdays this week! We have wonderful images from Paper Shelter and Sparkle Creations!! And, don't forget VIVA DECOR!! I am really enjoying working with my glitter liner and pearl pens! They are awesome!

I went in search of Viva Decor tutorials on Youtube for some inspiration on this card. I found a fun one HERE. I ran into a few snags...didn't have a great swirl, it didn't show up well with the Versamark, and then I went off book and tried to add a swirl/flourish of my own. Anywho...it was still pretty, so I just went with it! It can't be perfect all of the time! Just know that Versamark stands out better on cardstock rather than tone on tone designer paper!

If you would like to join us this week at the party, please upload your card HERE! We can't wait to see how you get your BLING on!!

Card Details:
Stamps: Holiday Emily by Sparkle Creations; sentiment from Woodware USA
Paper: Mistletoe and Pear by Basic Grey; Chocolate Chip and Baja Breeze by SU
Ink: Versamark
Accessories: Copic markers; Nestabilities; ribbon; SU punches; Viva Decor glitter liner in sapphire and pearl pen in Ice White

FBW178 Giving Thanks

Hello Fluttery fans--it's Wednesday, and we have a beautiful challenge for you this week! We are giving thanks and showing gratitude. When I saw this little beauty, I knew that yellow and blue were going to be my go to colors! I also finally used my large butterfly border from EK Success...it is a beauty!

The designer paper is unknown because it was in my scrap pile! The cardstock is Pacific Point and Daffodil Delight by Stampin' Up. I used a Viva Decor glitter pen in sapphire for my accents...I just love them. I don't think I will ever need to buy pearls to stick on again! The sentiment is from Woodware USA, and the main image is from Sweet Pea! I love it, and this is the first time it has been inked!

If you would like to join us this week at Flutter By Wednesday, please visit HERE for more details and to upload your card. Don't forget your fairy, angel, or butterfly--I've got two of those covered this week! Thanks for stopping by!
