Card Caravan Challenge: Homemade Flower

Hello! Sorry to not be posting much lately....life is very busy right now!

I'm back for another Card Caravan challenge, though, and this time we are to make a homemade flower. I used my PTI Bloom Builder #3 to make a pretty mum from some gorgeous digital paper which comes from Danielle Engebretson's i [heart] autumn.

The only other things used on this card are Harvest Gold cardstock (PTI), a Raspberry Fizz button (PTI), some Ripe Avocado satin ribbon (PTI) and some floss.

I hope you'll check out the latest challenge !

Card Caravan:Color Challenge

Welcome to another Card Caravan challenge! This two-week's challenge is a color one, and here's the gorgeous inspiration photo.



My take was pretty literal! I used Quirky Twerp's Frolic and Friends for the digital paper, and cut the flower using The Cutting File's Paper Roses template. The white cardstock (PTI) was impressed with the Canvas plate (PTI), and the sentiment comes from Delightful Dahlias (PTI). I cut the green felt (PTI) with Harvest Berries dies (PTI).

I hope you'll take a look at the challenge , and play along!

Card Caravan Challenge 3

It's our 3rd Card Caravan , and I'm the hostess this time!

I chose autumn as our theme, and then created this card:

Photobucket

It is made using Danyale's Autumn Walk digital kit, from The Digichick . I printed two copies of the pretty leaf paper, sewed one down to my layer and then selectively cut some leaves from the second to pop up. The cardstock is Summer Sunrise and Dark Chocolate (PTI).

I hope that you'll check out our challenge and play along!

Merry Christmas from our house to yours

Happy World Card Making Day!

I was able to finally get some time making cards, and came up with these two.

Photobucket

I used Background Basics: Houndstooth for the background, stamped in Pure Poppy and Hawaiian Shores. Onto the Mat Stack 4, I stamped the holly image from Love Lives Here: Holiday and added the berries from Bells and Boughs. The cute stockings were die cut, stamped and added.

Hope you will have a chance to make something today!
