Happy New Year's Eve!  Today's project is this Celebrating Love card.  I made it for this week's Stampin B's Challenge - #91 Make a Celebration Card.  For the color combo I used this week's Colour Q combo CQC#65.  The layout is from this week's Sweet Stop Sketch SSS88.  Today's Free 4 All Challenge (F4A45) at SCS is to celebrate those resolutions.  I can't really think of a better resolution than to Celebrate Love in 2011.

The stamp set I used is from Whimsy Stamps (Love Letter Seals).  I won this set from their blog hop earlier this month and was so excited to get a chance to use it.  The middle of the seal says 

"And now these three remain:

faith, hope, and love

but the greatest of these is LOVE."

Special Thanks to Whimsy for this great stamp set! 

 

Wishing you and yours a Very Blessed & Happy New Year!

Recycled Let it Snow Stella

This is my entry for this week's Totally Stampalicious Recycle It Challenge!  This challenge is perfect for me.  I am passionate about recycling.  We recycle as much as possible at my house. 

I'm super excited to share this project with you!  For my recycled material I used clear plastic packaging (left over from a Cuttlebug folder).  I ran it through the Cuttlebug with the SU Snowflake embossing folder - I found a tutorial for this on Tim Holtz 12 Tags of Christmas - HERE.

The stamp I used is a digital Stella from Bugaboo she can be found digitally Here. She is also available in clear rubber from Totally Stampalicious Here.  I printed the image out on SU Shimmery White paper to add a little extra sparkle to it.  I used the red brads to secure the plastic panel to the image panel.

I split up the sentiment in GIMP and continued it on the inside of the card.  The inside reads:

Supplies:

Stamps:  Stella November Calendar Month

Paper:  Real Red, Basic Black, Shimmery White

Ink:  Real Red, Basic Black, Going Grey

Accessories:  Plastic Packaging, Real Red Brads, Sheer Black Ribbon, 

Scallop Oval Punch, Large Oval Punch, SU Snowflake embossing folder.

Thanks for checking out my Recycled Winter Stella Project.  You can play along with this week's Totally Stampalicious Recycle Challenge Here.

(ETA) This also qualifies for this week's Stampin B's Challenge to use a ribbon with no bow or tie so I'm playing along with my friends at Stampin' B's too this week!  You can play along Here.  

Thanks for checking out my card!

Just Fake It - Ruby

It's a busy day here so I'll make this post quick.  I'm so excited this is my last day of work before my Christmas vacation!  I'm going to be off work until January 3rd.


This fun card is for this week's Totally Stampalicious Challenge - It's All Faux Fun.  The challenge is to make some faux brads, stitching, flowers, metal, etc.  I made faux brads using circle punches and stickles!  The stamp set is  Attitude Ruby also from Totally Stampalicious.   I initially tried doing faux stitching but it wasn't pretty.  I need more practice at that technique.

Thanks for stopping by and checking out my card!
