Fiskateer Blog Hop Coming This Weekend

----Fun Weekend Coming Up ---

   I'm participating in a blog hop with some of my fellow Fiskateers this weekend - March 24 & 25. I can't wait for you to see the card I made for it. The blog hop begins at 8 a.m. Saturday. You will be able see my contribution here. You might have to sign up on the Fiskateer website to see everyone else's projects. You can check out the Fiskateers by clicking on the blinkie in the left hand column of my blog.

Red Carpet Challenge

   We were challenged over on the Fiskateers website to create a card inspired by one of the dresses on the red carpet at this year's Academy Award Show. I knew right away that I had to go with Gwyneth Paltrow's white dress and cape. It was just so gorgeous! Here's what I came up with.

I used a Spellbinders die to make the textured 'cape'. I attached the cape with double-stick  mounting tape. Then, I used Fiskar's That's Amore heart punches and Martha Stewart's butterfly punch and a Anna Griffin rub-on sentiment to finish up the card.  This is one of my favorite cards I've made. I'll save it for someone really special.



Birthday Card

Mom's Birthday Card

 

I found these wonderful doiley stamps from Inkadinkado and knew I had to make something with them. I used boysenberry and white pigment pads from ColorBox to stamp them and clear embossing powder from Ranger. I stamped the images on cardstock from DCWV then cut various shapes adhereing them where ever there was space. I love the way this card turned out and Mom really loved it too!

GIVEAWAY!!

Don't forget that I'm having a GIVEAWAY! As soon as I get 25 followers I will draw a name to get 2 clear stamps and 2 diecut folders and more. I know some have signed up for email notification but you must click on "Join this Site" and then you will be an official follower. Looking forward to mailing your box of goodies out. Thanks for checking out my blog even if you do not sign up to follow.

Fancy Schmancy

Time for another Tuesday Trigger challenge in the Moxie Fab World.

FANCY SCHMANCY

The bright pink of our 'trigger' photo really inspired me this week so I went with the bright pink with black accent. This gorgeous flower stamp is from Anna Griffin. I heat embossed it, and then I painted the highlights on with bleach. I made a solution of one part bleach and three parts water. Then, I painted it on with a Q-tip. It really looks 3-D, especially in person. The sentiment is from Fiskars' Latte Love collection.

Here's the Tuesday Trigger photo from the Moxie Fab World. Isn't it yummy!?!
