Glitzy Gold and Red

Hello! This is my third post today....working on completing some challenges before time runs out.  For this card, I used the sketch from Tuesday Morning Sketches shown below with some stamps from Gina K Designs You Have My Heart set.  I also used Gina K Gold Glitz Glitter gel for the first time with a Tim Holtz Stencil Layering Lace to create a "doily" element for the background on white cardstock.  I stamped the sentiment and hearts with red ink and heat embossed with GKD Clear EP on white CS.  I used Spellbinder circle dies to trim this and a mat of Red CS.  Finished the design with red satin ribbon and bow and red nail head bling. 

Challenges:

Mix It Up Challenges: MIUCB #34 Anything Goes + Stenciling. Used Tim Holtz stencil with Glitter Gel.

Monthly Mix Challenge: Just Add Texture. Used Glitz Glitter Gel for my texture as well as ribbon and heat embossing.

Tuesday Morning Sketches: #541 shown below

Birthday Pop Up Box

Hello!  I created this pop up box card for my Mother who celebrates her 98 birthday this month.  I used a variety of Silhouette files, die cuts, printed images, fussy cuts, clipart, chipboard numbers, and more to fill and decorate the box.  All papers including Yellow CS, Striped Pattern Paper, Glitter Paper, Gold Metallic CS, and White CS were from my stash.  Used Glossy Accents, Nail Heads , Gemstones,  and Stardust Pen to add accents.   This was a fun project to design and create.   The card does fold up and fit into a standard half card size envelope.

Challenges to enter:
Double D Challenges: Anything Birthday/Anniversary goes using mood board.
Inspired by the cake, candles, balloons and colors.

Red, White + Pop of Green

Hello!  I have been playing with the challenge at Tuesday Morning Sketches and used it almost verbatim. I used Hero Arts stamps and dies  for the focus area and Gina K stamps and dies for the snowflakes. The red background layer was embossed with Crafter's Companion Nordic EF (design of snowflakes and reindeer). I inked the edge with white and layered on the ovals, die cuts, added white enamel dots and red nail heads.  Used Green card base to finish.

Challenges:
Tuesday Morning Sketches: #433 shown below.

Crafty Sentiments Designs: Snowflake Challenge

Double D Challenge: Red and White with an optional 'pop' of green is the challenge theme.

Creative With Stamps: Challenge #21 Reindeer-used reindeer stamp and reindeer in embossed design.

Holiday Cards

Hello!  I am back for a second post.  I have more Christmas cards....these were made for the Release Challenge at Stamp TV.   We are to make the greeting the focal point of a card by framing it with dies, punches or another type of border or panel.  I used Spellbinder dies to create frames for each of my cards using sentiments from GKD Joyful Holiday stamp set.  I stamped the Poinsettia from  A Year of Flowers on GKD Red Velvet CS with Versamark and embossed with Gold EP. The flowers were cut with my new dies from GKD and attached with foam tape.  Other supplies used were: White CS, Gold Metallic CS, Embossing Folder, Pilot Metallic Gold Marker, Stardust Pen, and Red Nail Heads.
