Big Christmas Card

This card was ubber fun to make.  I always love making cards with fun folds and different designs.  This card is a whopping 6x6 card which is large for me but that's the size I needed to work with to do http://frommycraftroom.blogspot.ca/2013/02/template-for-4-step-card-6-x-6.html

The front of the card I used memory box dies and nesties and an embossing folder, layered with stampin up paper.

The inside... I love! I love the steps and the tree die and the splashing of Christmas colors!

I hope you liked this card too,

Birthday Joy Card Cupcake

This stampin up paper is so fun to play with.  Probably helps that it has a teal and I am a teal magnet!  I also have an addiction to cupcake stamps (and food).  The bling I received through the dollar store.  The punch I think is called Trellis from Martha Stewart.  The die under the cupcake is called Beaded Circle (spellbinders).  I put clear applique on ALL the cherries for some extra shine and of course distressed the edges. 

I am craving a cupcake already! 

The border die is from Memory Box, but the inside die and stamp are both from Whimsy. 

Thanks for stopping in,

Recipe Challenge

Here is my GD Card for this weeks Recipe Challenge at http://trimmiescraftchallenge.blogspot.ca/





I wanted to make up a special card for my co-worker.  She is an absolute sweet heart so I wanted something really pretty and girly.  I certainly hope that this will fit the bill and that she loves it.   The image is actually from http://www.stampingbella.com/index.php?cPath=345.  My good card friend sent me this for Christmas.  Thanks Marilyn, I LOVE her! You can see her beautiful work on her blog here.

Bella is colored with copics and added a little bit of sparkle here and there.  I added blue bling and a pearl from my stash. The beautiful ribbon is from Stampin Up. I used one of my favorite new Spellbinder's Gold Elements die.

Hope you have enjoyed today's card and hope you will head over to  http://trimmiescraftchallenge.blogspot.ca/ and try to win some of the excellent images from the sponsors!
