Double D - WINGS

 

Dear Ones~

This time the challenge over at Double D is WINGS. Lots of possibilities with this one, just think of how many things have wings. You could really get creative!! Here's the Mood Board for our inspiration.

 

 

 

This is what I came up with:

 

I just love this die and stencil bundle from The Greetery called Jumbo Curiosity Dragonfly. And wouldn't you know, while I was making this card, I lost one of the wing dies. It's in my craft room SOMEWHERE, doesn't that just frost your pumpkin? The background behind the grid is made by stamping a scripty background stamp on some dark paper and then heat embossing with gold. One of my favorite things to do.

  The Ingredients: 

 GKD Kraft Card Stock

Amazon Butterfly Jalousie Window Die Set

The Greetery Jumbo Curiosity Dragonfly Die/Stencil

GKD Scripty Background Stamp 

Cuttlebug Thanks Embossing Folder

Distress Inks

Trinity Stamps Bubble Blow Out Baubles

As always, until next time dear readers, 

 ASPIRE to be INSPIRED.

Double D - WINDOWS

 

Dear Ones~

This time the challenge over at Double D is WINDOWS. How fun! What is it they say, "the eyes are the windows to the soul", or something like that? I dunno why THAT came to mind. Anyway,  here's the Mood Board for our inspiration.

 

 

 

And here's my card:

Isn't this a hoot?? I saw this die set on Amazon, and I had to have it. To make the pot, all I did was punch out a 1 1/2 circle and emboss it with an embossing folder. Aren't I a genius?

 GKD Black and Ivory Card Stock

Tim Holtz Ideology Backdrop Patterned Paper

 Memory Box Springtime Bouquet Patterned Paper

SU Cajun Craze Card Stock

Globeland Funny Venetian Die Set

A Cut Above - October

 

Dear Ones~

It's a new month, and time for a new challenge over at  A Cut Above Challenge Blog. 

 

Challenges are on a monthly basis and posted on the first Monday of the month at 12:00 AM (Eastern Time) and ending on the 28th of each month 8:00 PM (Eastern Time) with the winner posted on the 30th of that month. The theme is always anything goes with a die cut

Limit of 3 entries per challenge with each being a different project.

Any project is welcome but MUST HAVE AT LEAST ONE DIE CUT defined by using a die cut machine, not a purchased pre-fabricated die cut. Winner is chosen by random draw, and will receive a $5 gift card to A Cherry On Top Online Store along with a dated badge to display on their craft site.

 

Here' my card for this month:

I was recently asked by a good friend to make a wedding card for her and her husband to give away. I love making wedding cards and usually try and make them white on white. The dies used on this are from a GKD die set called Let's Get Started. It comes free with Gina's Intracut die cutting machine. Because it was so dimensional I made an envelope to fit the card. This was a totally enjoyable project!!!

 

 

 

 

 The Ingredients: 

GKD White Card Stock

Paper Studio Blanc Boutique Pearl Patterned Paper

Spellbinders Decorative Labels 8 Die

GKD Let's Get Started Die Set

GKD Petite Flourishes Embossing Folder 

Stash Pearls

 

 

 

 

 

 

I hope you will jump in and MAKE THE CUT, I can't wait to see what you come up with. Head on over to the A CUT ABOVE BLOG to see what it's all about. And if you play along, you could win a $5 gift card to A Cherry On Top. Oh WAIT!!!!! Saturday, October 3rd was World Cardmaking Day. So, in honor of that high holy day, there will be not one but TWO $5 GIFT CARDS up for grabs. Maybe you could be one of the lucky winners! GOOD LUCK!!!
