Anniversary Hearts

Congratulations to Addicted to CAS as they celebrate their first anniversary. For their challenge this week it is only fitting that their code word is ANNIVERSARY.
 I stamped my flower pot and the stems by masking. The little hearts growing on the stems are the negatives from a Martha Stewart heart punch.

I colored the pot with Copics, made a mat, added a sentiment and it is finished.

I also want to join the Simon Says Stamp Wednesday challenge-Keep it clean and simple

Recipe:
Stamps-Stamps by Judith (flower pot and green stems), Mark's Finest Papers and Stamps-retired Happy Pansies (sentiment)
Paper-PTI white cardstock, Stampin'Up! cherry cobbler
Ink-Memento Bamboo Leaves, Potter's Clay, and Tuxedo Black
Accessories-Copics, Martha Stewart heart punch

Feminine Birthday

Lately, I've made two or  three hinged filigree cards so I'll try to make my next card something else. I do love these. One of my daughters-in-law will be celebrating a birthday soon and I just wanted to make something very feminine. Hope she likes it. It is already in the mail.

My card was so easy with a die from Spellbinders/Timeless Rectangles and a stamped sentiment. I only added graduated white pearls (each layer had smaller pearls than the one before) for embellishments.

I'm joining the SCS Ways to Use It challenge (WT448) today  to take the first letter of our username and create a card using a theme, color, etc. that starts with that letter. Benzi-B is for birthday.

I'm entering my card into the challenge at Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge: Use a clear or rubber stamp. My stamp is a clear stamp from Mark's Finest Papers and Stamps/Bring on the Sun.

Have a wonderful day!

Bats, Mummies, and ........

This is the second of three Halloween cards I will make this year. This one wasn't so scary until I added the ghost corners. Yikes!! They remind me of something I saw at our Lowe's last night. It was a 16 ft. inflatable reaper with red eyes. It was really scary and I was ready to get out of there. Ha It looked as if it would almost reach the top of my two-story house.

I love this big pumpkin die cut by Tim Holtz. I cut him out (out of the box) and added some Distress Crackle to him, then embossed with a Distressed Stripes embossing folder. I then added my leaves, bats, mummies, and sentiments. Have you tried the new Momenta cut and emboss die cuts? They are so thin but do a really good job. I wish I could have made my photo larger and you could see them embossed on the leaves better.  This is it on SCS. Hobby Lobby is carrying those dies now.

Tuesday Throwdown #167 is having a challenge called Colors of Fall so I'm entering this card.

Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge is Anything Goes.

I used snippets for the bat, mummy, and behind my ghosts so I'm entering the Pixie's Crafty Workshop challenge -Pixie's Crafty Snippets Playground -Week #92

I've been away from my blog for a few days visiting with my son and his little four year old. They came to visit last Wednesday and left this morning. We had so much fun and found a lot of adventures to keep us on the go. You have to keep those little ones busy...REALLY. :-) Maybe I'll show a few photos of our adventures soon.

 

 

I used the Mojo Monday sketch for my card and will enter it into their challenge this week:

 

 

 







 

Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge this week is Anything Goes and I'm going there with my card.

 

Also, I will enter my card into the Inspired by Stamping Customer Gallery for August. I used one of their stamps for my card...Just Because set and cut it with an Inspired by Stamping die--Fancy Label Dies I.
