Creepy Halloween Card

This is another swap card I made. We could use any theme but we had to do a Fun Folded Frame.  Since I have been trying to use things I have on hand I thought some of my twinchie swaps might be useful for this card.  And I was right...these fun sparkly spider twinchies were the inspiration for this card.

Here's the Details:
Sentiment - Stampin' Up Web Wishes
Papers - all from my scrap basket
Extras - black memento ink, black Recollections rhinestones, embroider floss: orange, green, purple, and spider ribbon.

Since I had two spider twinchies I decorated the inside too.  Fun!

Thanks for looking!

Thinking of You Criss- Cross Card

Here is a different take on a Criss-Cross Card...

Instead of attaching the flaps and making a tag, I left the tags loose and added a ribbon to hold closed.  

Here are the details:
Image - Coffee Denny by Karber Digital Images; colored with Prismacolor pencils
Sentiment - Teeny Tiny Wishes by Stampin' Up
Papers - Basic Grey scraps and card stock scraps
Extras - ribbon, Prima roses, EK Success scalloped edge punch, Color Box brown ink

From a Tag to a Card

This is a recent swap card I made....The theme was "flowers & bling".  While combing through my supplies for inspiration I found this tag.  I created this tag for another swap (Birds of a Feather Tags) and thought it would work perfect for this one.  

I layered it onto a piece of black textured card stock and a pink print scrap from my stash.  So, the flower part was covered, now to add bling.  I added antique rhinestone swirls here and there.  Done!  This one was hard to send away...I really like how it came out ;)  

Thanks for looking!

Just Because Card

Just a quick share...made this card the other day when I was procrastinating.  The three elements were from a swap, they were so pretty on their own that I didn't think the card needed much.  I used a plum card stock for the base, pearl white edge punched for the top and a piece of sheer ribbon.  

Thanks for stopping by!

Celebrate Card & a Little Embroidery

I like to challenge myself someties and CAS cards are a huge challenge for me, so...while my embroidery machine was doing the work I decided to try to get a few made up.  Here is what I came up with: 

I really like them, too.  

Here's the Details:

Sentiment - Stampin' Up Feeling Sentimental
Papers - White pearl and scraps
Extras - Hexagon punch from Creative memories, Sequin Assortment from Stampin' Up, Color Box chestnut ink, pop dot dimensionals

And here is what I embroidered:

My son just made the varsity golf team and I thought he needed a special golf towel.

I hope you have a Marvelous Monday!
