next card challenge in the making

Here is what we have to use for the next card challenge, which we will turn in on January 24...




Interesting, huh? We have to use all pieces seen here, even only partially if we want, and we can add whatever we want, as long as, in this challenge, it is PINK... make sure to return in a couple of weeks to see if I came up with anything... ;)

Card exchange

This my first card exchange with the scrap ladies... I want to share the process to reach the final result... it started with this card... I wasn't quite satisfied with the ribbon thing at the bottom so I started thinking about something else. that's when i realized that instead of ribbon I needed something to recall the 2 brads at the top.... so the next result was the following, which is what the other 7 scrap ladies got to take home: Since I didn't enough of the pink background paper to redo the card I get to keep for myself, I had to hide the slits made from running the ribbon through it so I just put a dot on each slit... and here's the card I have with me... I like the card with only 4 dots better...

"Happy Holidays" card

"Be Jolly" card

I couldn't wait much longer to use my CTMH new Christmas papers... as for the stamps, it is a part of the "Christmas Season" set from Angel Company... I am returning to the use of chalk... it works wonders sometimes...

another Christmas card

quite simple... except for making the flower. I used a tag punch and followed a Splitcoaststampers.com tutorial. it didn't turn out the greatest as far as proportions but it still works... I have to practice and make some more flowers for future use...

Christmas card

This one was made using the "Scandinavian Season" set (tree) and the "Snow Swirled" set (sentiment), both from Stampin' Up... There again I had the hardest time with the bow...

Christmas wreath card

pretty and quite simple... shiny white paper, hand cut stars on scraps of scrap paper, a small piece of red ribbon, and voila! actually one of my favorite cards so far...

and yet another one...

the silver stars paper looked good when i chose it but now that I see the finished product I am not a satisfied as I would have liked to be... the Christmas tree is from one of those lovely Stampin Up! sets I have been playing with...

just another Christmas card

and the fun goes on... I love my new stamps from the Angel Company... here's what I have done with some of them so far...

and the fun goes on... I love my new stamps from the Angel Company

Season's Greetings

I simply could not wait to try out my new stamps without getting my scrap area out of control for the night so I picked that small "Season's greetings" stamp and had some fun for about 10 minutes... a quick and simple Christmas card. I love the result... Now if only I could remember how to tie a beautiful bow... I will have to practice! :-)

oops!

just a word about the cards in the previous post. I forgot to mat the middle pieces... yep, someone needs a vacation! that should be easily fixed and I will update my blog accordingly...

Christmas cards

The stamp i want to use in the middle of the card is not in my possession yet so I get to play around and practice a little... I used clip arts for the center of the card. Not as stunning as it should be but fun anyway...
and if you have followed my blog, you'll notice that this card is inspired by the card on the previous post...
