Embellish Magazine is having a Circle Card Challenge using the colors white, blue, and green, brown is optional. This card came together rather quickly. I knew I wanted to create that little "chain" of elephants, and after stamping it...I decided that was really all it needed. I "popped" the green guy, added some twine and a sentiment, and DONE! LOL

After working on my Double Duty: Berry Merry cards Saturday, I had some left over scraps laying around and decided not to let them go to waste. So I created this cute little tag to go along with one of the cards. How cute would this look either hanging from the handle or adhered to the front of a Kraft gift bag?

It's time for another round of Double Duty, and it's definitely overdue. I am having so much fun with this set. It is so versatile! Definitely not just a Christmas set. I've already used it quite a bit. It's the Berry Merry set by Stampin' Up! and it's currently available in the Holiday Mini.
For the first card I simply used the poinsettia base to create a background paper using Versamark on Dusty Durango cardstock. I know...orange for a Christmas color? But it works, I tell ya. Then I added a strip of olive and created a focal point using the leaves, the poinsettia, a button in the middle and framed it with a Hero Arts label. I even finished the inside.
So after doing the inside I got an idea for the second card.
Another easy one! This one is pretty self explanatory and doesn't really need a ton of explanation. ;o) As always, thanks for stopping by! Hopefully you found something to get those creative juices flowing.

This is one of those cards that I didn't really care for at first, but the more I look at it, the more it grows on me. Do you have any of those? This was a very simple card to create, and uses little supplies. Great for mass production. As always, thanks for looking!

I think I found my mojo...and I think it is PINK. For a girl who grew up hating pink, I sure do love it now. I find it to be the EASIEST color for me to work with. Go figure.
They are having a fun challenge over at Moxie Fab World and the focus is all about gradients! You know, I never thought to incorporate a gradient into my cards. I mean, I use gradients everyday, everyday in design, literally...but it never even crosses my mind when I craft.
So when I saw this challenge, I just knew I had to try it. I decided to mimic a little girls skirt, you know, all those layers of ruffles in yummy pinks. Ha! I even crumbled the pieces of cardstock before adhereing for a little movement. Honestly, when I sat down to sketch it, I started with the bottom and the rest just fell into place from there. A little backround stamping on the top, some ribbon, a button, and faux stitching to finish it off.
So, was there something you hated as a child, and now can't get enough of?
Thanks for looking!
Over on Nichole Heady's blog she is having a World Card Making Day Challenge. She featured 4 countries in 4 challenges. Japan, Mexico, India, and Australia. I was super busy and only had time to do one. But I think in all of the excitement, I just couldn't get Japan off my mind, because even though I was going for Indian ispiration with the rhinestones...I think some Asian influence snuck it's way in. LOL Hope you enjoy and thanks for looking!
