Mini Jar Card

Hello everyone, I'm here today with the last post for the Die Cut Divas Shape challenge. Wanted to thank our great sponsors...

One Happy Cut

and

Morgans Art World

My last shaped card for the month..

I started out by stamping the jar and the pumpkins. I then die cut both jar shapes before I colored the images. The sentiment was stamped on vellum and fussy cut before being adhered onto the jar. It doesn't make for a big card, but a great mini card perfect to be added to a little thank you gift!

Thanks for stopping by and have a great day!

Supplies:

One Happy Cut- Summertime Charm Stamp. Summertime Charm Dies, and So Thankful stamps ( Lawn Fawn)

Misc- Copics, cardstock and vellum

Girl and her kitty...

A little mousey told me about a challenge over at Twofers. So I'm stopping in quickly with my card, before time is up! ;-) The challenge is a color challenge.

Here is the card I'm going to enter the challenge with...

I colored my digi image with copics and then picked the papers and accessories to coordinate. I added the brads to the panel before adhering the panel to the cardbase.

Thanks for stopping by and have a great day!!!

HMFMC- all white

Hello everyone I'm here with my last card as a guest designer with HMFMC! Maybe someday I'll get the honor again. In the mean time the challenge is all white. You may color your image, but that is the only color allowed.

I love the mouse in the cup I think he's so adorable. I layered white and some vellum for my layers, die cutting the corner of one layer for some texture on the card. I kept the coloring very light so it would distract form the white theme of the challenge very much.

Here is a closer look of the corner with  the die cutting, this was the first time I've used it! :-)

Thanks for stopping by and I hope you have a great day!!!

Stopping in with a quick post today to share a card that I adding to 

Lawnscaping

Addicted to CAS

and 

AAA Cards

 challenge blogs. Here is my card...

I started my card by stamping the images on a panel. After I colored them, I cut the panel in four pieces and layered them on pattern paper. I used the same pattern paper to cover the card base and added my panels to a larger panel. Once everything was adhered I stamped my sentiment up the side.

Thanks for stopping by and have a fantastic day!!!

Happy Halloween (Fusion challenge)

Stopping in with a card for the Fusion Card Challenge.

I decided to make my card based on using the photo for my inspiration...

I used a few papers from previous years paper pads and die cut doily that I picked from work (Michaels) and a halloween set from Close to my Heart that I hadn't used before. 

Thanks for stopping by and have a great day!
