Bold Colors!

We want to chase away the winter blues by featuring bold colors in our biweekly challenge at My Sheri Crafts. I made a card that reminded me of sunshine. :-D The sentiment is from a Julie Nutting for Prima stamp set. The base cardstock is DCWV, embossed with a Chevron Embossing Folder. I added a panel of Canary Chevron Fundamentals paper, a piece of Baker's Twine in yellow, and a yellow daisy from Prima. The leaves are from Recollections. I also added some Bling Gems Gold Assortment to add more sparkle. I hope this card will brighten someone's day!

Be My Valentine!

I LOVE Valentine's Day. We are celebrating that special occasion at My Sheri Crafts in our biweekly challenge. Design Team sister Sandy challenged us with using pink white and red in our projects. I think I went to town with this one. lol!

My first project is a tag using Mon Amour paper from Graphic 45. The flowers are from Prima. The doily is from Recollections. Crystal swirls are from Close To My Heart

I made a pocket letter for a friend using the same paper line. The flower die cuts and paper lace are from K&Co.

I also made another Gorjuss Girl pocket letter. The paper are from Prima and Bo Bunny. The stickers are from Jolee's. I added some die cuts from Recollections and Martha Stewart.

I made a LOVE banner using both paper lines. The embellishments are from Recollections. Flowers are mini roses from Prima and the enamel roses are from Close To My Heart.

I also made a paper bag with the bottom part cut off and folded, so the bag would have two pockets to fill with goodies. One of the pockets has a Gorjuss Girl tag in it. The paper and the wood veneer cage are from Hobby Lobby. Flowers are from Prima and The Paper Studio. The lace, heart doily and heart bunting are from Recollections.

My last project, at least for this challenge is my attempt at mail art. I made an envelope using DCWV paper, added a Gorjuss girl and decorated it with washi and ribbon tape. It looks wonky right now because I filled it with crafty goodies inside.

Feelin' Fussy

We are fussy-cuttin' in our biweekly challenge at My Sheri Crafts! I made a couple of pocket letters using Gorjuss Girls Stamps and a Prima Doll stamp, all stamped and colored with Copic markers, and of course, fussy-cut.

The first pocket letter features bright, vibrant colors and positive sayings. I don't usually mix these colors, but Pebbles had the perfect paper pad that I wanted to feature. :-) I even fussy cut some of the words so I could use them as accent pieces.

My second pocket letter combines Valentine paper from Bo Bunny and Prima Marketing. I decorated both front and back of the pocket letter and used embellishments from Recollections, Martha Stewart, and from the bargain bin at Michael's. The Red Enamel Hearts are from Close To My Heart. I fussy cut some elements from the paper pad and layered them.

Let's Build A Snowman!

Happy New Year to all of you from the Design Team at My Sheri Crafts! We are building a snowman for this challenge hosted by Glenda. I made a sidestep card using the tutorial from Our Daily Bread. The images are from Christmas Post and the sentiment is from Frosty Fun. I used Seaside paper for the base (retired). The background Glacier cardstock was embossed with Confetti Embossing Folder and tied with Glacier Extra Thick Twine. I colored the images with Copic markers. I added some strips of White Shimmer Trim and punched a snowflake border to finish off the look.

Christmas Spirit

Welcome to another fun My Sheri Crafts challenge! We are feeling the Christmas Spirit in our blog! Design Sister Sandy requests for us to make a vintage-inspired card or project. I have been busy making some pretties for my online swaps and here they are! I am not done with my Christmas crafting yet, so there's more to come. I made some folders using paper from Tone Finager and Graphic 45, and filled up the pockets and mini envelopes with die cuts from Tim Holtz and Die-namics, and some tags and clothespins from Target and Marshalls. The stamped images that I colored with Copics are from Close To My Heart, Magnolia and Sara Kay Designs.

I also made some handmade Project Life cards for Christmas, using paper from Craft Smith. The die cut tree is from Cheery Lynn Dies. The wooden embellishments are from Paperchase and I got the washi tape and gold polka dot mini kraft banner from Hobby Lobby. The Red and Silver Shimmer Trims are from Close To My Heart.

Another project that I made are some tags using Tim Holtz Sizzix dies, stencils, Distress Sprays and designer paper. The wooden embellishments are from Paperchase.

I also made a pouch and a mini envelope filled with die cuts and wood embellishments for the swap hostess.

Lastly, here's a pocket letter that I made using paper from Craft Smith and Close To My Heart. I colored "Jill" the Prima paperdoll with Copic markers. I added some die cuts from Sizzix, burlap flowers and confetti from Hobby Lobby, and Paperchase wooden embellishments.

We would love to have you join our Christmas challenge at My Sheri Crafts!

Happy Thanksgiving!

We are celebrating Thanksgiving at My Sheri Crafts! This is the first time in a while that I have been off for Thanksgiving. I am thankful for that alone. I made a card for my little boy to send to his Grandma. I used the sentiment from Holiday Tags. The paper is from last year's fall paper pack from Close To My Heart, Pathfinding. I added some cork circles from Pathfinding Assortment, and a strip of Chocolate Paper Fundamentals in a houndstooth pattern (retired). I could not resist adding some bling with Sequins Gold Assortment.

Tag...You're It!

Our fearless leader at My Sheri Crafts, Sheri, is challenging us to feature a tag in our project. I made a tag for the handmade gift bag for a swap tomorrow. I am part of a local group of crafters who meet every two months for lunch and to swap. I used paper from Craft Smith and I have an ice-cream theme for all the handmade goodies. The theme for the swap is "Sweet Thang" and the items for swaps are: a bottlecap charm, a card, and a maker's choice, all packaged nicely (hence the bag with the tag). I also included pictures of what's going inside the bag for those of you who are curious. I have not covered the bottlecaps with the acrylic cover yet since it causes glare. The ice-cream truck is a battery-operated tealight holder.

All cuts are from SVG Cuts :-)
