My Lucky Stars

I thank my lucky stars for you everyday! Hi friends, Mindy with you today sharing my card for the Starry, Starry Night Weekly Challenge this week at Classy Cards 'n Such.  I love making a night sky with lots of stars on my card fronts, and hope you will take the time to submit a starry card to our challenge this week.


I started my card by using Regular Embossing Paste by Dreamweaver to emboss through my Stars, Starry Nights stencil by Memory Box.  After the paste was dry, I die cut the Santa die cut set from Impression Obsession and adhered it using Double sided adhesive SCOR-TAPE to the back of my paper before die cutting.  After the die went through the machine, all I had to do was peel the design from the card stock and all the little details including the antlers and legs were ready to paste down.

For the bottom of my card, I formed two snow banks to overlap on the base, then adhered several Evergreen Trees die cuts from Impression Obsession to layer with Scor-tape and Joy! Foam Pads - Small to give depth and dimension.  To complete my card, I added a few star shaped sequins and an applicable sentiment.

I hope you have enjoyed my card, and thank you for visiting today.

Vintage Thank You

Hi friends, it's Holly posting today.  I made a cute little thank you card to give to my mom and I thought I'd share it with you.  



Are you wondering about that lacy flower? Let me tell you what products I used from the Classy Cards 'n Such store, and then I'll explain how I created that lacy flower.  I used the following:

Lady Kate edger die (Cheery Lynn Designs)
Whimsy Perfect Petals resin flowers

My card is a 4.25" square card and I cut the patterned paper to 4" x 1.5" and adhered them to a dark blue cardstock layer, then adhered that to my vanilla card base.  I added the Lady Kate Edger die cut (with vanilla cardstock) at the bottom of the card.  I stamped the sentiment with dark blue ink, cut the fishtail notch with my scissors, and adhered it to the patterned paper.

For my flower, I cut a small piece (round or square, shape doesn't really matter) from the double sided adhesive sheet.  I peeled the backing off from one side, and then stuck the Ecru Delight Lace onto the sticky side.  Working slowly, I folded the lace and pressed it down onto the sticky piece, going around in a circle.  When the lace started to overlap, I cut the end and tucked it down.  

I cut another small piece of the double sided adhesive sheet and peeled the backing off one side, and then I pressed the sticky side down on top of the lace circle.  Next, I removed the backing off the other side of the sticky tape and pressed the gorgeous dark blue Whimsy Perfect Petal flower into the center of the lace circle.

With my lacy flower completed, I peeled the backing off the sticky tape that was on the bottom of the lace and stuck this down on my card next to the sentiment.  This turned out even cuter than I "saw" it in my head!!  

So pretty!   Thanks, Holly!

Glittery Peony

Hi, Holly here.  Today I'm sharing this glittery peony card with you, and I'll be honest.  I totally squealed when I finished this card.  I love this glittery flower!!!


I started by cutting the Lovely Peony Outline from black cardstock and carefully pulling it out of the die.  I cut a piece of the 6x6 Double-sided Adhesive Sheet just big enough to fit the Lovely Peony Background and adhered one side of it to some white cardstock.  I left the adhesive paper backing on the other side and placed the Lovely Peony Background die onto it and cut it out.

Now with my sticky adhesive background flower and my black outline flower, I worked very slowly and carefully.  I peeled the backing off the top of my adhesive flower and laid down the black outline flower onto the adhesive, matching up the edges very carefully.  Once my black outline was in place, I pressed it down to seal the two flower die cuts together.

Next, I pulled out my Chantilly glitter and poured it over my adhesive flower.  This Chantilly glitter is gorgeous!  It's got a gold/yellow undertone with pinks and roses and and a hint of brown in it.  You can see the gorgeous colors in the close-up picture.  The areas that were not covered up with the black outline were the sticky part of the background flower and the glitter sticks beautifully to this adhesive sheet.  



I set aside my glittery flower and put together my card by cutting some papers from the Printery Collection (Prima) and glued them to some vanilla cardstock.  I wrapped some Black Cluny lace around the the middle of the two papers and glued them down on the back of the vanilla cardstock.  I then adhered the papers to a black card base.  The glittery flower was affixed to the card with some Joy Foam Pads (small).

I absolutely love the way the glittery flower turned out!  Now I want to try this with all the different colors of glitter that I have!  I could also use different colors of cardstock for the outline instead of the black that I used here.  Wouldn't this be gorgeous with some deep red glitter and a pale pink outline?  What about a sunny yellow glittery flower with a chocolate brown outline?  I could also see a beautiful blue glitter with a white outline and a purple glitter with a pale blue outline.  See, the possibilities are endless!!!  :-)
So pretty, Holly!  This is one of those cards that can not only be made in many different ways as Holly mentioned, but is also suitable for many occasions!

And now, here's Holly's wonderful Glittery Leaves card!!
Hi, it's Holly posting today, and I want to share this Glittery Leaves card with y'all.  I have been itching to play with my glitter again, so I pulled them out and picked some colors that I thought would be good for leaves.  Here's what I ended up using:
 
Leaves dies (Impression Obsession)
Anytime Sentiments stamp set (Impression Obsession)
 

I adhered the red paper to a kraft card base, then added a small strip of floral paper and some burlap.  I cut out the journaling piece (part of the Harvest Lane pad) and stamped the sentiment with chocolate ink directly onto that.  Next, I cut out the leaves from the 6x6 Double Sided Adhesive.  I peeled the backing away from one side of each leaf and covered each leaf with glitter, making sure to press it in with my fingers for good coverage.  Once I figured out my placement of the leaves, I peeled the backing from the other side of each leaf and carefully placed each leaf onto my card.  I love the contrast of the glittery leaves and the burlap and kraft cardstock.
