Twas the Night

I made my card for this week's Featured Stamper, my talented blogging and Punchkateer pal. Anyone who knows Colleen aka Smoatsmom on Splitcoaststampers or from her blog Dietrich Designs knows she has the most elegant cards ever.

She sent me this Christmas card this past season and I absolutely love it so I decided to try to case it. I really needed the beautiful red and white houndstooth but had to settle for this blue/green color. I used a stamp the same as hers. I had sent this one to Colleen after she sent me a wonderful bird stamp. She knows I love birds and houndstooth. After buying her stamp, I had to buy one for myself. :-) Isn't that the way it is?

I ended up making a square card instead of like Colleen's A2. Well, that's a long story I won't go into.
Otherwise, I tried to follow her creation and make a few changes so I wouldn't be copying her card.

I like my cards better on SCS because I always show them larger. I need to figure out how to enlarge my photo space  on my blog as I can't show the same size as I do on Splitcoaststampers.

Colleen, have fun this week being a celebrity on Splitcoaststampers. You deserve it!

Yellow Tulips

 



 

Hello all...I'm back today and have a card for the Queen for the Day #165 on Splitcoaststampers. The Queen is Jill aka JD from PAUSA. This is the card I chose to case. Crazy me, I cased a card she had cased for another Queen, Taylor Usry. So, I guess I cased both of them. I have to start checking that before I start uploading my card. Duh!

 

I LOVE tulips and yellow ones are my favorite so that explains my yellow Copics.

 

I made my pot using the Stampin'Up! ornament punch and cutting a section off after punching.

 

I'll be around to visit blogs soon...hopefully this weekend I'll catch up.

Out of the Box

CCEE1320

I've been away since Friday and will probably not be back for a several days. I'm missing seeing all your posts but had to take some time away for other things. I have gotten my CCEE posts ready and scheduled early. 

Shirley Quarry gave the challenge this week at CCEE Stampers to let it all hang out or over. My out of the box rose was cut with the Spellbinders Labels 14 for this technique. If you don't know how to do this technique, here is a tutorial on Splitcoaststampers.

We hope you'll join us this week and link you card with the inlinkz tool.

See you soon.
