HCBC Week 1, Day 5

Here is my card for day 5 of the Holiday Card Boot Camp.  I am still challenging myself to use what I have on hand as well as keeping these cards very CAS. 

I embossed the woodgrain stamped image with white glitter embossing powder.  I thought this would be a fun way to tie in the glitter reindeer from the border sticker. Sentiment if from PTI's Stylish Sentiments, Holiday. 

Here is the same card using kraft cardstock.  

HCBC Week 1, Day 3

Here is my card for day 3 of the Holiday Card Boot Camp 2011.  Trying to keep these cards very simple while using supplies I already have.  It's a great feeling to shop your stash!  :)

I wish I had smaller or various sizes of this color rhinestone but since I am on a mission to use what I have, I think these worked just fine!  :)

HCBC Week 1, Day 1

I am participating in Holiday Card Boot Camp 2011 in an effort to get some holiday cards done before the chaos of the season hits our home!  

Here is my version of the card for day 1.  I am hoping to use up some of my holiday stash as well as keep these cards very CAS.  

Congrats Wedding Card!

This is a card that I made for my cousin's wedding.  I wanted to keep this card simple and elegant without using too many colors.  

I clear embossed the top layer with Hero Arts, Antique Flower Background stamp onto PTI's vintage cream cardstock.  I loved the way it turned out.  Middle layer is a shimmer cream cardstock and base layer is from Creative Imaginations.

Sentiment is from PTI which was embossed onto vellum.  

Thank You - MOJO212

Here is a thank you card that I made for a very good friend of mine.  It's been a while since I played along with  Mojo Monday challenges, so I decided to use this week's sketch for my card.  

DP is from MME Mischievous Collection, thank you definition stamp is from Hero Arts and Sugar Picks pin is from Jillibean Soup. 

Here is the sketch from Mojo Monday:

I will also enter this card for this week's Wee Memories Challenge:

Bridal Shower Card

WOW, life has it's way of taking you in all different directions!  I have been so busy that I haven't had a chance to post or visit many blogs.  I am hoping to find some time to "browse" a little this week!  :) 

Here is a card that I made for my cousin's bridal shower.  Sentiment is a rubon that I was determined to use...not a good idea when I barely had time to make her card, but I didn't want to use a traditional sentiment for this occasion.  I was happy with the end result! :)

Pocket on the inside of the card is from PTI, Library Pocket die.  I used this die often as it holds a gift card or cash perfectly. 

Time to Celebrate!

Here is a card that I made for my brother who just celebrated his birthday!  I bought this stamp a few months ago and of course, I forgot about it until I saw Rae from Simply Rae use it on a card.

Stamp is a Studio112 $1 stamp from Michaels, pattern paper with the clocks is from a very (very) old stash and DP is from BasicGrey's wander paper pad.
