Gena K Card challenges

 I managed to get 2 cards done for a challenge over at Stamp TV.
 One is to use 3 pattered papers on a card and the other was to use something you find around your house.
For this one I found some small pom pom's I had laying around.
  I hope you enjoy my take on these two challenges.

Pretty little purse gift card set Moxi Fab Challenge

 I thought these cut little purse gift cards would make a fun card set packaged in this cute die cut purse. They are all cut with Accucut die's from different designer card stock. I added some fun flowers, pearls and brads to add some whimsy to these cute little gift cards. Fun and fast project and a great way to use up scraps of designer card stock.
  This is another fun Moxi Fab Challenge,enjoy!

Moxi Fab Gift Challenge

 Here is my take of a gift container. I re-purposed a box I had from Cold Water Creek. I used my new spellbinders die Blossoms Four.I used a stylist to give the petals some depth. and added a bit of shimmer with Glimmer Mist.The Happy Birthday is a Gena K stamp and I used some new Spellbinders dies Labels 18 and Labels 20 which I sponged some brown ink on the edges and a gem flower from Kaiser Kraft.
 I also added some designer paper and some vintage lace .
  This is for some jewelry I made as a gift. Earth day is just around the corner what a pretty way to go green.
I hope you enjoy this pretty little box and maybe you can re purpose an old box you have.

Just Rite flower challenge Card

I found some time to play tonight and did a easel card with my new spellbinders die Blossoms four I die cut several layers and then used a stylist to give it some dimension.I used a soft pink chalk to go around the edges of the petals.I used the nested leaves die set for the leaves. JustRite sayings for my focal point for their JustRite Friday Challenge 053.
  This is a really easy card to do and it looks so nice when you set it up.You cut a 8 1/2 x 11" paper in 1/2 the long way and then score it in 1/2. Then score one of the half's diagonally. You then attach the cut card front to the bottom 1/2 of the diagonal scored side.I stamped the saying and then die cut it with a small oval. This gets popped up with pop dots. This holds the easel card up when open.
  I hope you enjoy this card.
Have a blessed Easter!

Simple sweet pea's card for you

 This is a simple yet elegant card done with a sizzix embossing folder on color core paper it shows a hint of the under color by lightly sanding the embossed area. I used the new spellbinders die labels 18 to mat the simple sweet pea's I colored and die cut with a spellbinders oval die that I edged with a sponge and green momento ink.
  Enjoy the simple things in life.

Playing with my new spellbinders

 I have been playing with my new spellbinders die's.This card is done with the new Lattice Rectangle as a mat for my oval. I tucked a cut in half olive green Labels 18. I used a  sizzix embossing folder to add some texture to the peach background.
  Take time to play with your dies and see what combo's you can come up with.
