Edgy Flower Power

Hello again! I'm having quite the productive weekend, and I love it when it happens!

While the card below has been created for my Made with Love card class I'll be teaching in July, it is, in fact, perfect as an entry in the Moxie Fab World Beautiful Borders as well as the second entry in the CAS-ual Fridays Getting Edgy challenge. As soon as I saw the Moxie Fab challenge, I thought...well, Moxie Fabbers, do I have the card for you!

 It is essentially brimming with all sorts of borders and edges, just as I like it. EK Success large flower punch steals the show, in my opinion. Tell me what you think!

Have a wonderful Sunday!

Made with Love - Card 1

Hello sweet cakes, it's time to introduce a sweet, new project o'mine to you. I will be teaching a card class again at Wiggles and Giggles and this time it will be all about the kitchen and yummy food. I have created six different cards, which I will be introducing here on the blog as well as on Facebook.

Cupcakes take the center stage in this delicious card. There can not be a food themed class without cupcakes, in my opinion.

The sprinkles are a great way to use up your pearls and bling that you may have left over from a different project. As you know, I have a great deep passion for border punches and Martha Stewart's trellis punch adds a nice dimension here.

I will be entering this (and at least another) card in the CAS-ual Fridays challenge Getting Edgy. Typically, I am not a CAS kind of girl, but border punches and edges are right up my alley!!!

Have a sweet day!

Dads and Grads

I am so very excited to share the news that I will be teaching card making classes at my favorite store in the whole wide world - Wiggles and Giggles! So. Very. Excited!!

With Father's Day around the corner and various graduation ceremonies each weekend (including my own :) - a Master of Science in Electrical and Computer Engineering degree, wooohoo ), June is the perfect month to work on cards for Dads and grads. These cards can also be challenging, especially the ones for Dads, since the typical color palette and embellishments are rather limited.

Here's what I came up with for my inaugural class:

This is going to be fun! I can't wait!

Have an elephantastic night!

Wedded Bliss

How fitting that I have been asked to make a wedding card for someone and finally found the time to do it today, when William and Kate are getting married. Probably the most anticipated wedding of the decade, if not longer. I know I couldn't wait to see the bride. She was gorgeous!

Back to my little wedding card:

Supplies:
Ink: Memento - Dessert Sand
Stamp: unknown
Embellishments: MS border punch, MS butterfly punch, COPIC markers, pearls, Cuttlebug embossing folder

I stamped the cake, cut it out and then colored it with COPIC markers. I popped it up with some double sided tape.

Have a wonderful day!

Not yolkin' when I say...

Supplies:
Cardstock: Elizabeth Park by LYB
Stamps: Inky Antics
Embellishments: Bling, COPIC, Puffies

 ...have an egg-cellent Easter! Hehe...

Out of the Blue

I noticed that lately most of my cards are some variation of pink, purple, cream and such similar colors. It's time to break it up and present to you the second card in the Easter card series:

Supplies:
Cardstock. Elizabeth Park by LYB
Stamp: Hero Arts
Ink: Memento - Tuxedo Black
Embellishments: Bling, COPIC markers, hand-crocheted flowers, brad, Elizabeth Park by LYB border, MS border punch

I added one of my handmade flowers to this card. It's such a joy to be able to make your own embellishments!

Have a wonderful Saturday (my favorite day of the week)!

Hey chick...have an egg-celent Easter!

Easter is one of my favorite holidays! The Spring is finally here, it's getting warmer out, the whole world is full of hope and renewal. I happened to be asked recently to make a batch of Easter cards for a friend, and I happily jumped at the opportunity. The task was to create 5 cards - 3 for a female, 2 for a male (a challenge, which I will report on separately). A series of Easter cards thus came to be. Here's number one:

Supplies
Cardstock; Elizabeth Park by LYB
Ink: Memento - Tuxedo Black
Stamps: Inky Antics
Embellishments: pearls in Sunshine Yellow, LYB border, Puffies, bling

Isn't that chick cute? Inky Antics never disappoints. Their Easter set is all I had to work with. This year like no other there were no Easter stamps to be had. I wonder why...hmmm...

Have a great evening!
