Merry Monday Christmas Challenge

Happy Tuesday! I'm here with a card for the Merry Monday Christmas Card Challenge. The challenge this week is to use ribbon or twine on your Christmas card. Here's my card:

I fell in love with this paper from My Minds Eye and couldn't bring myself to cover it up too much. I added a framed sentiment from Crafty Secrets and added looped ribbons to the bottom of the frame. It seemed like it needed something in the lover left corner so I added some ruby gems. Thanks for looking! Blessings~ Birgit

Fusion Card Challenge #1

Hello crafty friends! I'm here to share this card with you that I made for the Fusion Card Challenge #1. Wouldn't I be an optimist to think that I might start at the beginning and keep up with all the challenges they'll offer? A girl can hope, right? Anyway, here's my card for the #1 challenge.

I so love these colors together! The inspiration photo is so crisp and pretty.

I used PTI Melon Berry card stock for the base and the grey striped paper is from Fancy Pants "Beloved" collection. I used Rosie Posie stamp set from PTI which I adhered with pop dots to give them dimension and the "hello" sentiment is from Simon Says Stamp. Thanks for looking! Blessings~ Birgit

Pink Ribbon Anniversary Card

Good morning and Happy New Year! I'm kicking the new year off with an entry for the Really Reasonable Ribbon challenge using pink ribbon. This couldn't have come at a more perfect time as I just made this anniversary card for an anniversary coming up on Jan. 3 and I just happened to use pink ribbon! So without further adieu, here's my card.

On this card I used embossed paper from Doodlebug Design for the background and a paper doily. The postcard stamps are all from Greetings from Paris from Just Rite Stamps. The anniversary sentiment is from PTI, which I double stamped using Sweet Blush ink and again with black ink to give it a shadowed look. The stamped flourish image on the small heart is from MFT and the hearts are all cut using Spellbinders and embossed with sizzix embossing folders. The embossed flower image is one that I fussy cut from a vintage greeting card. The pink bow is done using baby pink seam binding from RRR. I added a vintage hat pin and some punched flowers with pearl bead centers. I used Sweet Blush, Berry Sorbet and Smokey Shadow inks from PTI and Tuxedo Black from Memento. Thanks for much for looking! Blessings~ Birgit
