Ink Cube Challenge - Gina K Designs

 

     I created this card for the monthly challenge at Gina K Designs. Our task this time was to use ink cubes directly to cardstock.

     I touched the cardstock with just one edge of the cube and then rocked it gently around to the each of the other sides. I  used very gentle pressure. Next, I stamped little hello's in each block (stamp collections below). I trimmed and matted this panel to fit the card base as you see above. I love how this turned out! I like how part of the surface of the cube left a little impression here and there. I finished the card with stacked flowers.

 Designer Tip: 

     This is a great card if you want to make several cards at once or maybe a gift-set. You could stamp the cube on a whole sheet of cardstock. Trim the size of front panels to fit your card. The card would also look good without the flowers. A quick ten-minute card!

Sketch Challenge ODBDSLC220

          Thanks for stopping in on such a busy few days as we all prepare to celebrate the birth of our Savior. Hope you all are surrounded with friends and loved ones.

     I made this card for the challenge at Our Daily Bread Designs. This time ODBD gave us a sketch to work with (below).
     I used two die collections from ODBD for my card - Fancy Foliage and the new Asters & Leaves dies. I just got the Aster dies and have been anxious to find some time to play with them. They are as fun as I thought they would be. I'm so happy I got them. And, my favorite die of all time is the vine that comes with the Fancy Foliage dies. For this card I die cut a vine then cut it in half to give some balance to my card.
     The papers are Teresa Collins' Summer Stories 6 x 6. She has really been on my mind with the recent loss of her husband, so I thought I would use her papers for my card.
     Check out all the details here to submit your own card:  http://www.ourdailybreaddesignsblog.blogspot.com/2014/12/odbdslc220-sketch-week-2.html
     May our Lord richly bless you and your families as we soon begin a new year.

CAS-ual Fridays' Over the Edge Challenge CFC75

    Thanks for popping in today. I always enjoy having your visits to my blog. This week's challenge at CAS-ual Fridays is to make a card with an embellishment that goes past the edge of the card. Here's my take on the challenge.

 

     I like using embellishments in unexpected ways. So I'm turning this border diecut that I love from Spellbinders (Parisean Accents) into banners. The sentiment and the woodgrain mat behind the sentiment are both form Hero Arts. The sentiment is my over-the-edge element. 

     Want to play too? You can get all the details here:

     I will also submit this card to Hero Arts October Sketch Challenge.

Monochromatic Thinking-of-You Card

     I made this card for the Hero Arts June challenge. The gorgeous cardstock is  more of the Coral Couture stack that I won from DCWV recently. I heat-embossed and cut the die-cut flowers, flourish and sentiment using Hero Arts Thinking-of-You stamps and matching die framelits. I love the monochromatic style. I think it definitely adds an elegance to any project.
