Classy Cards N Such Challenge #121 - Neutal Colors

For the Classy Cards N Such neutral colors challenge,  I made an all white card.  I think all white cards look really classy.   This card could be used as a Valentine or for a Wedding card. 

The first layer of my card was made with the Spellbinder Romantic Rectangle die and it was embossed with the Crafts Too Dots Embossing folder.  This is my favorite and most used embossing folder in my collection. i t gives a  card such elegant look, in my opinion.

I added a piece of heart lace across the front.  I fell in love with this lace and I am sure I will use the whole roll of it without wasting a scrap of it.  The lace heart was cut using the Spellbinders
Lace Hearts.    I put Joy Foam Pads Small under the heart to pop it up over the lace.  I cut the key that is also a die in the Lace Hearts set.  I used paper from an old thank you card to cut the key.  I thought the silver complimented the card perfectly.  It has Foam Pads under it to make it stand out.  The small heart on the key was cut using Spellbinders Classic Scalloped Hearts die.  It was embossed with the dots embossing folder. 

Thank you for coming by today.  Be sure and join us for the challenge at Classy Cards N Such.  We love seeing all the beautiful cards you enter in our challenge. 

Hot Glue Embossing

Wow, I should be sick more often.  I am getting more cards made while I do not have to be doing errands and stupid house work.   I went to the doctor to be told I have sinus, an ear infection and pink eye.  This is my first ear infection and the first time for pink eye.  I have no idea where the pink eye came from, the grand kids have not had it.  I suppose I got it at the grocery store.  I am improving every day so I think I might be well soon.

I really had fund with this card.    I started with a piece of water color paper.  I heated up the hot glue gun and then put gold embossing powder on it while it was hot.  I heated it with the heat gun and look at the pretty design I created.   I then took Ken Oliver Color Burst and put on the water color paper.  I wanted some more colors so I added Dylusions spray ink and some color shine over that.  I love the rich colors I got.  I used an MFP stamp set called Sun and Moon for the sentiment.   I added a few sequins for the finishing touch.

I am glad you came by today and I would love to know what you think of my card.

Classy Cards N Such - Beautiful Scraps

Here is a card I made from beautiful scraps.  I am not a mathematician, but here is my mathematical tip for you today - six to seven pieces of scrap designer paper equals one pretty card.  I hope you think so,  too... 

I started with an ivory card base.  I added layers of the scrap Graphic 45 Botanical Tea designer paper.  I love all Graphic 45 papers, they just seem to call my name when I see them.  Somehow my DH doesn't seem to believe that.  ~grin~  

The sentiment I stamped on the vanilla card stock is a stamp from Sweet N' Sassy Keep In Touch set.

I cute the pretty flowers using the Memory Box Tall Chloe Stem die.  I used Joy Foam Dots to pop the flowers up on the card.  I cut a piece of beaded ribbon to place over the stems.  Another scrap that I used for my card today.

Thank you for taking the time to come by and take a peek at my scrappy card.  I hope you were able to find inspiration to use some of your beautiful scraps.  Have a great weekend.

Sweet Shabby Love

I really like shabby cards and nothing says shabby better than lace,  ribbon and pearls.  I love this sassy little gal that is all dressed up for a party.  

The paper I used today is from Marion Smith-Romance Novel.   I thought adding this pretty lace at the top was so perfect with this paper.  The image I used is clip art that I found on Etsy.   I used distress ink to sponge around the edges. The teapot I used is from a teapot stack die that I used.  I did not want to take away from the main image so I only used the tea pot that was on the top of the stack and I decorated it with pearls.  The doily was cut with a Cheery Lynn die.  (I never tire of using it)  The Party Music die is from Memory box.    I added the crinkled ribbon, a rose and pearls in the corners.

Thank you, for coming by today and taking a look at my card.  I hope you have a great day.

Entered this card in Eureka Stamps Challenge- Pile it On (been saving the lace and ribbon)
