Hello paper crafting friends. I'm entering this card into the challenge over at The Shabby Tea Room. I was totally inspired by the challenge photo to use ice skates as my focal point.
The background paper is some I had in my scraps. I also used the same paper to cut the ice skates from using my cricut machine and Winter Woodland cartridge. I created the layered ice skates by cutting them out in black as well and layering the printed paper over the top. I added German silver glitter to the blades to make them shiny. The red banner is cut using a banner die from PTI onto more pp that was in my stash. The fancy square was cut using a spellbinders die onto some vintage advertising which I printed myself on my printer. The swirly flourish die is from MFT. After layering all my elements I added a pretty silver ribbon and bow. Notice the bow? I made it using a very large serving fork according to a video I watched on using a Zutter Bow-it-All tool, which I don't have. Not too bad for making do without one. This was a great card as I used only scraps to make it. I like it when I can do that! Thanks so much for looking! Blessings~ Birgit

I'm here to post another card into the Just Rite color challenge. I used their Baking Antique Tags One. I went with a clean and simple look for this card.
I embossed the little tag on the front with white and popped it up to give it some dimension. Thanks for visiting! Blessings~ Birgit
Good morning~ I'm here to post this card that I'm entering into the challenge over at Fusion Card Challenge Blog. I love these colors together!! They're bold yet soft. If that makes any sense... at least it does to me. Anyway, here's my card for the challenge.
For this card I used a cream colored cardstock base and the banner is cut from paper I had in my stash. I used Sweet 'n Sassy stamps and die cuts for the flowers. The smaller, flowers were punched using So Saffron cardstock and a SU! punch and shaped with a stylus and layered. I added Black Diamond Stickles to the center of all the flowers and as an accent along the lower corner of the fancy rectangle frame which was also cut from So Saffron cardstock, using a spellbinders die. The scripture verse is also from Sweet 'n Sassy stamps. Thanks for visiting! Blessings~ Birgit
Hello crafty friends. I've been blissfully playing in my craft room making some Valentine decor. Here are two framed vintage Valentine's collages I made, one which I'll be entering into the challenge over at Really Reasonable Ribbon.
On this one I used Greetings from Paris from Just Rite Stamps to create the vintagey post card. I made the center of the medallion using PTI's Delightful Doilies and added a couple of ribbon tails and button and twine to finish it off.
The vintage Valentine image is an old sticker I've had in my stash for years so I can't give credit to the company.
This next one was a little hard to photograph without a glare from the glass.
I printed off a BINGO Card and added a red paper doily that I had in my stash. I made the mini envelope and the ticket and Valentine images are both printed from images I found online. I added some stickles to give it some vintage bling.
Thanks for visiting! Blessings~ Birgit
