Hello, Another Saturday has rolled around and this week at Just Us Girls it’s Trend Week and Bobby has suggested we “Frame it.” This was an easy and fun challenge. For my card, I have a mix of; SU for my sentiment, Altenew for my Painted Flowers, MFT stitched Rectangles, and SU again for my stitched Oval. Then a glittery heart to top it off.
Thanks for stopping by!
Come and join us! Nanc’
Hello, Today’s card is for the Less is More challenge using Metallics. Anything with a bit of shimmer is so hard to photograph, and this card is nothing but shine so it was a real challenge. It looks ten times better in person!
Card Details: SU stamps, Silver embossing powder on all stamps and the Ribbon Heart die is from Poppy Stamps. Even the wire ribbon has shimmer. The smaller hearts are punched out of the same glittery background paper as the large ribbon heart die. Added some rhinestones for more shine.
Thanks for stopping in, Nanc’
Hi, I have a very CAS and easy card for the Less is More Challenge today. The word they have is Celebrations! The store that I sell my cards in needed more wedding cards, so I whipped a few of these up yesterday. That rose die is just so pretty…don’t you think?
All products are SU.
Thanks for stopping in! Nanc’
Hello, Here we are once again with another week gone by! Today’s challenge at Just Us Girls is to use an Embossing Folder. Easy huh? I paired my embossing folder with this fun puzzle piece heart from SU. The sentiment is theirs as well. It was heat embossed. Isn’t that paper so pretty! It’s Bo Bunny I do believe. A Big Thanks to Greta for being a fabulous Guest this month.
Get out those Embossing Folders and please come and join us! Nanc’
Hello Friends, Have we got a great challenge for you this week at Just Us Girls. Carol has picked the color Purple for our Color Week. After I finished the above card for this challenge, I realized I had a Christmas Card that I made last year that also is Prominently Purple that I had not shared with you. So here is that one!
I hope you have a fantastic day and will consider joining us over at Just Us Girls. The team and our Guest Karren hit this challenge out of the park. Come on over an check out all the Purple cards. If you join us you might even be selected as our Chic of the Week and then have the opportunity to be our guest too. Take care, Nanc’
Card info: First one is made with SU supplies/ Love the paper pieced die-flower.
Second card: Ornament ( stamped and lightly watercolored), Sentiment is Verve, the Bows are Paper Smooches and the Background stamp is from Stampabilities.
Hello Friends, I am hosting this week at Just Us Girls and we are in full fledge wedding planning at our house, so the Photo I was inspired by this week, fits my mind set perfectly! I hope you enjoy it! Remember, you don’t have to make a Wedding card per say, however the photo inspires you is all you need to do! All the products you see here are from SU. This card was very tough to photograph because of the shimmery silver paper and the silver embossing powder, but what can you do! Please come on over and join my fellow teammates and I this week!
Take care, Nanc’
My friend Judy is hosting over at The Mod Squad, and as soon as I saw her challenge I just knew I had to find sometime to play along. She has asked us to incorporate hearts and or flowers on our card and or project. Then I went searching for a bit more inspiration and I came across this great quilt over at The Fusion Card Challenge. Finally, I also realized that The Paper Players was having a Valentine challenge and the search stopped there. I snuck into my craft room before the Football Game (that ended poorly…I might add…what can I say I always root for the under-dog) and in between loads of laundry on Sunday, this is what I did. I decided to take my MFT Stitched Heart dies and lay them over some of the hearts from the MFT Heart cover plate die. Then I incorporated some MFT Stitched flowers in my design. The sentiment is something I have had for quite a while and it’s from Inkadinkado. I thought this would make a nice Valentine’s day card. The Dp I used is a pack from Stampin Up that I really love!
Thanks for popping in on me today! I sure do appreciate your visits. Nanc’
Hello friends, I made this card for my niece’s wedding that I actually am attending today! Please pray for no rain as the wedding is outside! As you can tell it’s Trend Week over at Just Us Girls and Ina has asked us to do some Water-Coloring, which I really do enjoy. The Water-Colored flowers are from Stampendous, the sentiments are a mix of Stampin Up and who knows what. LOL I am having a “Dory” moment.
Now, you have got to rush on over to Just Us Girls and check out that rest of the cards from the DT and our Guest Colleen…they are all incredible! See ya soon! Nanc’
Hello Friends, First let me apologize for the poor photo. This was one of those days where I was a tad rushed. Someone asked me at school to make a quick wedding card that they needed the very next day, so I didn’t get the chance to play around with the lightning. I assure you that the bottom of the wedding dress does indeed have a vellum panel overlay, as the challenge is in fact to use vellum this week over at Just Us Girls. The dress is something I quickly sketched and traced, the EF makes a nice touch to the dress don’t you think? I used a MS punch to create the bottom scallop and the white flowers are also made with a MS punch as well. The sentiment is heat embossed on vellum and is from Stampin Up. I added a piece of ribbon, some hearts, and rhinestones and I was finished. I have seen many variations of a wedding dress like this over on Pinterest, so the original idea is not my own.
Please come on over this week to Just Us Girls and check out what my fabulous team and guest Aileen did using vellum too! Take care, Nancy
Hello Friends, The month of June is about to come to an end, but before it is done I do have a wedding card for you. After all, June is known to be ” Wedding Month” now isn’t it. My family and I are headed to Michigan in a couple of days to attend my niece’s wedding. Not sure who is more excited…. my son, his first Vacation since he gradated from High-school.(No joke) Although, he did inform me yesterday that he will be working some while we are gone…that kid of mine never quits. Our brother in-law is excited too. He informed us today that he has every single sporting equipment that you can think of laid out and ready to go. The only thing I am a little concerned about is all the rain they have been having and the swimming pool is only 60 degrees. Brrrrr. We are looking forward to having the family all together for sure! Ty’s girlfriend is coming with us too, however she has been warned that the Leppek family is a little crazy. LOL Should be good fun! Sorry, my upcoming vacation is not what you came by to listen to now is it. The photo of this card makes the card look as if the colors don’t match. However, you will have to trust me that the light brown is more of a tan and does contrast beautifully. I have made a card similar to this one in the past and I just love the look of it with those cute hearts. I don’t think you need much info on this card other then….the sentiment is from Stampin UP and the heart border is a punch from Martha Stewart.
I am also linking my card up to the following challenges; Time Out Challenges where the challenge is inspired by these words…..Happy is the Bride that the Sun Shines on. And over at Freshly Made they are asking for either a monochromatic theme and or a stencil theme. I think it’s quite obvious I went with the monochromatic only.
Until next time…find sometime to be creative…it’s good for the soul. Nanc’
