Happy New Year to All!

Happy New Year!

 It is New Year's Eve and time to celebrate!  Wishing everyone a year of love, health, happiness, and prosperity along with tons of creativity to keep the mojo juices flowing.  Speaking of flowing, time to open the bubbly and pour a glass to toast in the year. Here's to 2011...may it be good to all of us.

I made my champagne bottle card with a template offered from Simon Says Stamp Challenge Blog. Check it out here. I printed the template and cut it out in this shimmery green luminescent  CS (can see on open card) that I being saving for the right project.  I printed the label from a free digi by Tiffany Doodles and cut with Spellbinders Label 4 and edged with a Pilot gold marker.  I covered the top and neck of bottle with a scrap of gold wrapping paper left from Christmas package. Tied ribbon around the neck and added a bit of bling.  Finished off the inside of bottle with sentiment from GKD "Lovely Labels 1" by Nina and cut with same label die.

New Year Challenges:

Happy New Year...Almost Time

Almost time to ring in the New Year...2010 has been a good year except for that fall in January when I broke my wrist...bad way to start off, but... the year ended better than it started. It has been a good year carding and blogging...a lot of new friends and old friends have added so much  enjoyment to this past time.
 I have learned a lot and keep trying new things such as the technique in this card. Made the "streamers" using the rubber band technique that I saw on Stamp TV  in one of Gina's great videos. Technique is to  use rubber bands on a brayer but I have no brayer so I improvised with a glass water bottle. I only rolled up and down instead in all directions because I wanted the effect of streamers falling down.  Added some party hats for fun stamped with GKD "Candles on Your Cake" by Melanie. Text stamped with Fiskars Basic Font Stamps. Inks are SU and Momento Markers and Papers from stash. Used Atyou Spica Gold and Sakura glitter pen on letters but does not show in photo.
Challenges:
Stamp TV: Countdown Challenge to use rubber band background
Scrap-Creations: Ring in the New Year
Simon Says Stamp Challenge:  Time to Party/Celebrate
For Fun Challenges: Theme is New Year.

What are your plans for New Year's Eve? I plan to spend a quiet night ringing in the New Year with my DH.
Happy New Year!
Theresa

The objective is to let all the cardmakers/crafters out there in blogland showcase cards they have made this year. You don't need to create anything new, all you need do is select 10 cards/projects you've made this year to share. The links close on December 29, so hurry and get yours Top 10 posted.

Ready for SUN and SAND?

 I am ready for some sunshine after all the snow and grey skies. I recently won the "Hello Sunshine" stamp set that is a new release from Mark's Finest Papers...what a great set to bring on some sunny cards! I made this card for their color challenge to use Mustard, Blue and Green. I used the same stamp twice...once using Memento Cantaloupe ink and the second time I inked the stamp with Memento markers in Summer Sky, Bamboo Leaves, Rich Cocoa, and Black and sponged it with Summer Sky. I cut out the first image stamped in Cantaloupe and then cut the center out  with a Nestie circle and layered this over the scene. Used Blue CS as base card and layered with a striped mat from DCWV Citrus mat stack embossed with Cuttlebug EF Diamond Wave. Stamped sentiment from this stamp set on an oval . Assembled card with ribbon, buttons, sentiment and the image using a Sketch from Card Patterns.
This will be a card for my SIL recently retired.
Challenges:
Speedy the Cat's Friends Challenge: Use mustard, blue, green. Think the cantaloupe ink is a good color for mustard?

It's Beginning to Look Like Christmas

 Hello....Christmas is almost here. Today I am to do grocery shopping and maybe start baking some cookies and sweets. And that leads me to my card today. This was inspired by a challenge at Meljen's Designs whose theme is Sweet as Candy (or cookies). I used 2 Meljen digis "Looks Like Christmas" and  Candy Canes". I combined this with a Gingerbread stamp from Gina K "First Christmas" . Used Kraft as base card, Gingerbread Paper from Jo-ann's, red cs scraps, and Gingerbread buttons from my button collection.  Love the cutout candy canes held by the Gingerbread couple. Used a sketch from Card Patterns.

Meljen's Designs: Sweet as candy or cookies.

Merry Christmas

Wishing you a very Merry Christmas

Can you believe today is the first day of winter?  It seems like it has been winter here for weeks already!
This stamp from PSX of a Christmas Village is one of my old time favorites. I made this card for the challenge at Pollycraft Monday Challenge and Craft Your Passion. The theme  Pollycraft is...WHITE CHRISTMAS...and we are to make an all white card(colour only on images) OR snowy/winter scenes. I think this fills both requirements. Stamped the village on White CS with Memento Tuxedo Black and colored only highlights with Memento Markers. Added some Frosted Lace Stickles to give an icy winter look. Placed this on a shimmery White  CS (from stash-unknown source) that I partially embossed with Cuttlebug EF Snowflakes. Added a tag cut with Spellbinders ribbon tag die stamped with a sentiment from GKD "Very Merry Christmas" by Theresa M.  I attached the tag with a white organza ribbon.

Another Quick Ornament

While I was making one ornament for TMITA, I decided to do another quick one using another ticket from Paper Cupcakes "Christmas Tickets".  This was very simple...I cut an ornament shape from gold metallic card stock with a Cuttlebug die. Wrapped it with an organdy ribbon-white with gold threads-and attached a copy of the Angel ticket that I printed and colored with gold marker and Copics. Attached a ribbon through the hole for hanging on the tree. 
That's it for today. If you have time, make an ornament and be in the challenge at There's Magic in the Air but it ends this evening.

Ornament for TMITA's Challenge.

I have not had much time for card making this week but did want to make a quick and simple ornament for a challenge.  At There's Magic in the Air, Carol challenged us to make a Christmas ornament keepsake for someone special in your life. It can be as fancy or simple as you like, any size, any color. I made this one by using a circle of chipboard and embossing with gold embossing powder. Cut a snowflake with a Sizzix die and covered with glitter. Printed a ticket from "Christmas Tickets" digital from Paper Cupcakes that I won from TMITA Challenge. Assembled together with dimensionals and added gold ribbon for hanging. How appropriate for today since it is snowing.

Now for my project made with Heartfelt Creations Products from Joan's Gardens:
  Nothing looks so lovely as a fresh cut bouquet of flowers, even if they are not real. I stamped the Daisy Patch Bouquet and individual Daisy Patch Flowers on white glossy cardstock with Versamark and heat embossed with clear embossing powder. I colored the bouquet by first masking the flowers and sponging the leaves with Memento Bamboo Leaves ink. Then I masked the leaves and sponged Memento Rhubarb Stalk ink on the flowers. Rubbed off the excess ink from the embossed surfaces and added some yellow to the centers with Copic Y02. I also colored the individual flowers in the same manner. I cut out the bouquet without the stems. I used the exclusive Heartfelt Creations Daisy Patch Dies to cut out 8 individual flowers which I shaped and glued to the bouquet creating a great dimensional effect.  For the jar, I stamped the Ball Jar Stamp directly on a 5" x3.75" mat of  Basic Grey Pink Pattern  with Memento Black Tuxedo ink, stamped a second jar on white cardstock and a third one on acetate using Stazon Black ink for this one. I stamped stems from the bouquet stamp with Memento Bamboo Leaves ink on the white jar and then colored the water with Copics B000 and C00.   I glued the acetate jar to the white jar and attached a ribbon to the neck of the jar. This was then attached to the jar on the mat of pink. I then attached my bouquet of pink Daisies with dimensionals above the jar. I finished the card by attaching my image to a mat of Basic Grey  Pattern that complements the colors in the flowers and then to the card base of black.  These stamps and die cuts make it so very easy to create lovely flowers that will be everlasting.
