PaperCrafts Challenge #1, Use a Page from the Phone Book

Oh my word! Have you guys seen THIS magazine?!? PaperCrafts Magazine released a mag subtitled "75 Creative Card Challenges" and my goal is to complete them one at a time and post them here. I'll add a linky too, and hopefully some of you will want to play along with me and share your creations!

 So Challenge #1 was to use a page from your phone book. And on a personal challenge, I've decided NOT to buy anything for these challenges, I have to start using up my stash of products, and even some of my products I haven't done anything with...so VOILA! My Elegant Bird Bigz die (that I've owned since its release) is FINALLY  being showcased! Wahoo to challenges AND using stashed away items! :o)

Ingredients: (All SU! unless otherwise mentioned)
Rose Red CS and Stampin' Write, Very Vanilla CS, Perfect Plum CS, Stampin' Write and Classic Ink, Polka Dots Background Stamp, Elegant Bird Bigz Die, Bitty Banners Framelits Die, Itty Bitty Banners Stamp Set, Basic Pearls, Phone book page from local phone book :o) and twig from local bush :o)

So click below to add a link to your card if you wish to join me! Have fun with it, and come back in 2 days to see another challenge!

You're Amazing!

Hi there friends! Here is another card using some of my new stash, and I'm loving it! Looking for that DSP? It's from the Christmas Set, Be of Good Cheer. Love how versatile it is, doesn't look Christmassy here at all, does it? The triangle flag was stamped with the corner of the "You're Amazing" stamp to give it some interest. Congratulations is from the Family Reunion Stamp set, and fits perfectly into the largest banner from the Bitty Banners Framelits die. Oh, and lastly, "Winner" was punched out using the new Ticket Duo Punch! Ahhh...thanks Stampin' Up! for all your fantastic coordination, it sure makes creating beautiful projects a snap!

Ingredients: (All SU! unless otherwise mentioned)

Hello! My latest order has arrived, and I'm in LOVE! This card was pretty much CASed from pg 32 in the main catalogue. Loved the simplicity of the layout, the color combo, and the clean vintage vibe with the worn and sponged edges.

Holiday Catty Card Swaps

 Good morning everyone! I was in a Holiday Catalogue Card Swap this month, and we just received them last night. We were supposed to use products from the newly released Holiday Catalogue. This is the card I made and I've mounted it on 3 different full cards to see the different moods it has with the different colors. I've added a few close ups, so you can see the details...the stamp set featured is the new Wonderfall set, and has been cut out using the Autumn Accents Bigz Die. The Cherry Cobbler flag is the maple leaf stamp, but trimmed to a flag. The Early Espresso netting flag is cut from the Scalloped Tulle Ribbon, and the So Saffron flag was made using the Bitty Banner Framelits. Also...check out the background...it's embossed using the new Woodgrain Embossing Folder! I love this new set, and you'll be seeing it often around here! ;o)

Come back Mon, and I'll be sharing a few of the swaps I received! Hope you all have a fabby weekend!

Ingredients: (All SU!)
Whisper White CS, Early Espresso CS, Classic Ink and Scalloped Tulle Ribbon, So Saffron CS and Classic Ink, Cherry Cobbler CS and Classic Ink, Wonderfall Stamp Set, Autumn Accents Bigz Die, Bitty Banner Framelits, Woodgrain Embossing Folder
