Classy Cards Oceana Dreams


Hi again!  Today I'm sharing an underwater scene.  I've been in a nautical/beachy card making mood lately and it gave me the perfect opportunity to use this beautiful Memory Box Oceana Corner die.The base card is a white A2 sized card.  I used a piece of Kraft card stock as a base and then popped up a piece of light blue paper with Joy! Foam Pads on top.

I cut the Memory Box Oceana Corner with white card stock and then colored it lightly with Distress Ink.  I also cut parts of it again in a blue card stock and glued them on top.  The Memory Box Small Ringlets were also cut with the same blue card stock.  I used a die from my stash to make the sea horse and he was also adhered to the card with Joy! Foam Pads.  The Impression Obsession Grass die's bottom was trimmed a little.

Thanks for visiting and I look forward to seeing your Classy Cards challenge entries!

Scrapy Land Happy Halloween Tag


Hi, I'm back with a tag I made for the new Anything Goes Challenge beginning today at Scrapyland.  I hope you'll come and play along!

The tag was made by sponging distress ink on the background after masking with a Cheery Lynn Classic Silver Large Stacker circle die.  I then sponged a little yellow distress ink into the "moon".  I added a Cheery Lynn Happy Halloween Twiggy Wreath around the moon and then glued the new Memory Box Forest Crows over the top.  The branch was also colored with distress ink.  I added the Memory Box Skeleton Hand on the bottom, I just love this spooky skeleton hand!


Last, I added the Happy Halloween sentiment which is also a part of the Cheery Lynn Happy Halloween Twiggy Wreath die.

I hope you like the result.  Looking at it now, I think adding some purple would have been nice, maybe I'll have to add that on my next one.  Thanks for visiting!

Classy Cards Bird Picnic

Hello!  Today I'm sharing an inspiration card for the Summer Picnic Challenge at Classy Cards 'n Such.  I sorted through all my food dies and this is what came together. I hope you like the result.  Remember to use my coupon code Jenny-10 at the Classy Cards Shop to receive 10% off your entire purchase.


This challenge calls for kraft, red and white to be used so I cut a piece of red paper for the picnic blanket.  I used Kraft Card Stock to cut the Poppystamps Bushel Basket and colored the bands with distress ink.  The handled basket is a die from my stash.  The apples were cut from the Impression Obsession Bushel of Apples die.  The Memory Box Scalloped Cake Stand was colored with pumice stone distress ink and the Memory Box Petite Cakes was colored with pink distress ink.

I stamped the Impression Obsession  Why Do Birds stamp with black ink and then added the Impression Obsession Leafy Branches to the side. The little bird is from Memory Box's Open Studio Meadowbird Branch set.  I colored the body with pink distress ink and the smaller accent feathers with brown distress ink.

Thanks for visiting and I can't wait to see your Summer Picnic creations this week!

Scrapyland Happy Birthday!

Hi, I'm back today with a tag for Scrapyland's Vintage/Steampunk Challenge.  This is a fun challenge, get out those supplies and come play along!  

I also want to wish my wonderful friend Darlene a very HAPPY BIRTHDAY!  I hope it's a wonderful day and I've also joined Darlene's Birthday Blog Hop.  If you want to see all the wonderful projects created for her scroll down to see my earlier post today.


This tag was a lot of fun to create.  I usually think of steampunk cards in brown shades but I noticed a few with pretty blue backgrounds on pinterest and the color inspired this tag.  After coloring the background with distress inks I cut the Memory Box Sketchy Rings.  I embellished it with a frantae embossing powder and a verdigris embossing powder.  I set it aside and used a god embossing paste and a stars stencil to add to the background.  I thought the blue with the darker edges looked like a night sky.  


On the bottom right side I added a chunky silver glitter to the stars - I liked the gold stars I just really wanted to play with a new-for-me product.  I cut the Cheery Lynn Hot Air Balloon, colored it with distress ink and glued rhinestones to it.  I cut the Cheery Lynn Happy and Birthday, colored them yellow with distress ink and glued them on top of the rings.  The last thing I added was the blue cord and three green dew drops.

Classy Cards Watercolor Butterflies

Hello!  I'm back today sharing a card for this week's Splatters Challenge at the Classy Cards 'n Such Blog.  Splatters immediately made me think of my new Color Bursts.  This was my first time using them and they were so much fun!  


I first took an A2 sized card front and spritzed it was water making sure to cover the entire paper.  Then I sprinkled Alizarian Crimson, Lemon Yellow and Violet Color Bursts randomly onto the wet paper.  The colors blended and I sprayed a little more water in spots where I wanted more of a mix.  


Then after drying the paper with a heat tool I cut it using the Memory Box Floating Butterfly Frame die.  I glued this to an A2 white card (making sure to glue the butterfly centers but not the sides for added dimension).  I added sparkle with a clear Wink of Stella Pen. Then I then glued clear rhinestones from my stash onto all the butterfly bodies.

Thanks for visiting and I can't wait to see your Splatter creations this week!  Come link up and join the fun.  Hugs, Jenny

Classy Cards Rose Red


Hi, I'm sharing a card that I made for Classy Cards 'n Such using the Heartfelt Creations Botanical Wings die. I started by stamping the Heartfelt Creations Botanical Rose Stamps and then cut them with the matching Botanical Wings die.  I sprayed the flowers with water and scrunched them up.  I also used a stylus from the Paper Blossoms Tool Kit to help shape while gluing the flower layers together.

I used spray stain and glimmer mists to color the roses and while they were drying I assembled the rest.  The A2 card has a layer of Kraft Card Stock and then a layer of Graphic 45 Botanical Tea. I cut and colored the frilly Joy! Crafts Circle using distress ink and a mini ink blending tool.  Then stamped the JustRite Floral Vintage Labels 2 sentiment on a Spellbinders circle from my stash.  The circle was popped up higher using Joy Foam Pads to adhere it to the card.

I added the black centers (from a die in my stash) and pearls to the flowers and arranged them around the circle.  After gluing them down I added foliage from the Memory Box Fresh Foliage die.

Thanks for looking!

Classy Cards Cherry Blossoms

Hi friends!  Today I'm sharing a card inspired by the new Classy Cards 'n Such "Cherry Blossoms & Dogwoods" Challenge.  This challenge had me stumped until I realized that I could turn almost any little flower into a cherry blossom!  Don't forget to use my coupon JENNY-10 to save 10% off your next order at Classy Cards 'n Such. 


I created the central image using the Memory Box Meadowbird Branch die set.  I cut the branches twice out of brown, white and green card stock.  The flowers are from a tiny flower die in my stash and I used a stylus from the McGill Paper Blossoms Tool Kit to shape them.  I cut the bird and colored him with distress ink.

The arrangement was glued to two Spellbinders Circles and they were popped up using Joy! Foam Pads for dimension. I glued them to the Poppystamps Claudette Frame which was adhere to a layer of Botanical Tea design paper.  I layered that onto a square of white card stock and then glued the entire sandwich to a 5.5" square blue card.

Classy Cards Baby Buggy

Hi, I'm sharing a baby card today I created for Classy Cards 'n Such.  Everyone around me is having baby girls lately and I never seem to have enough baby cards on hand.  Don't forget to use my coupon JENNY-10 to save 10% off your entire Classy Cards 'n Such order.


I kept this card simple because the background paper can really stand on it's own.  The background paper is from the Love Letters paper pad and has a bit of shimmer that is difficult to see in the photo.  I thought the alphabet design was perfect for a baby card.

The Baby Carriage is a Memory Box die and I the gingham paper is from my stash.  The beautiful oval doily is Spellbinders Oval Bliss die.  The oval was adhered to the background using Joy! Foam Adhesive Pads.

The little buttons are from my stash and were adhered with Scor-Tape.  This stuff is incredible, it really holds on heavy embellishments amazingly well.

Classy Cards Spring Scene

Hi, I'm posting today with a card for the current Classy Cards 'n Such Bunnies Rule challenge.  I created a scene with some of my new dies and I hope you like the result.


I die cut the baskets and colored them with a Mini Ink Blending Tool and distress ink.  Multiple layers of grasses were cut and colored and the baskets were nestled into the grass.  I used Joy Foam Pads to add dimension between the grass layers.


I die cut and colored the bunnies and used Joy! Foam Pads to adhere them in between the grasses.  The chicks were cut, sponged with ink and situated in the basket.  Black dots for eyes were added on both the chicks and bunnies.

For the tree branch I cut the  Impression Obsession Leafy Branch die twice, colored with distress ink and layered both together.  The bottom branch was glued down tightly but only the branches of the top layer were glued so the leaves could be turned for added dimension.

I blended distress ink over the background with a blending tool before gluing the clouds, making sure the clouds overhung the edges for a more natural looking scene.  The flowers were shaped with a stylus from McGill's Paper Blossoms Tool Kit and tiny rhinestones were glued to the centers for sparkle.

The last addition was the little fence which may be retired.  Classy Card 'n Such carries a similar die the Poppystamps Country Fence.

Classy Cards Birthday Wishes

Hi, today I'm sharing a card for the new Classy Cards 'n Such Fancy Pearls challenge.  Add a pearl, use one item sold at Classy Cards 'n Such (this is the easy part, there is such a wide selection) and link up a new project for a chance to win a great prize!  If you use my coupon JENNY-10 you can save 10% off your entire purchase at the CCNS Store.


I found this frame in my scrap bin and began creating.  It was cut with Love Letters paper using Impression Obsession's 6-in-1 Frame die.  The Memory Box Petite Cakes were cut from another soft pink paper from the Love Letters 6x6 paper pad and decorated with liquid pearls from my stash.

The Memory Box Scalloped Cake Stands were heat embossed using Shabby White embossing powder from the Frantage Embossing Powder set.  I love the shiny coverage and the cake stands look like glass.

After the cakes and frame were assembled and adhered to the background paper using Joy Foam Adhesive Pads I decided the card needed another color.  I found a pretty green coordinating paper in the Love Letters paper pad and cut the Impression Obsession Tied Line and Impression Obsession Greeting Set to get the Birthday Wishes phrase.

Then came the fun part.  I glued pearls to the sides of the frames and a Rock Candy adhesive gem to the center of the bow on the Tied Line die.   I sprayed the Chalk White Seam Binding with Pearl Glimmer Mist and scrunched it before tying a bow.  It really shines.  The bow was tied to the frame using some silver twine from my stash.

Classy Cards Bee Friends

Hi, I'm posting today with a new Classy Cards 'n Such DT card I made using the new Memory Box Open Studio Busy as a Bee die.  These Open Studio dies coordinate so nicely and to keep the design CAS I didn't use other dies.


I first cut the honeycomb strip out of white card stock and colored it black with Black Soot Distress Ink.  While the honeycomb was drying I cut the little swirl design out of the card stock. I added a piece of yellow paper behind the white and then glued the honeycomb back into the negative space.  

The bee was cut twice, once out of black paper and once out of yellow.  The yellow bee body body was brushed with Twinkling H20's for a little shimmer.  I assembled and glued the bee together and then added Joy Foam Pads to adhere him to the paper.  

The sentiment is from the Justrite Vintage Labels Two stamp set.  After stamping the friends sentiment, I layered the main panel onto black card stock and then onto an A2 card. For a little added bling I glued three black rhinestones to the top corner and also glued tiny yellow rhinestones to the bee's antennae.

Classy Cards Construction Time

Hi, I'm posting today with a card I made for the Classy Cards Be Inspired Challenge. The inspiration photo was so sweet.  All those little cars on the quilt reminded me of these adorable Memory Box vehicle dies.


First I stamped a white A2 card using distress ink and an Impression Obsession Cover a Card stamp from my stash.  These Impression Obsession CAC stamps are huge and will cover an entire card front.  The hill was cut out of Kraft card stock using a Spellbinders Border die.  The clouds are from a die in my stash similar to the Memory Box Puffy Clouds die.

The Excavotor and Dump Truck dies are both from Memory Box.  I cut them once in yellow and then again with black card stock.  The vehicles were popped up using Joy Foam Pads.  I cut two fence dies, joined them and then cut the bottom so the fence wouldn't hide the dump truck.

I cut the Impression Obsession grass four times layering them behind and in front of the fence.  The bottom of the front grass was trimmed so the one behind would show better.  I also popped up the grass with Joy Foam Pads for dimension.

Dies R Us Gingham Love

Good Morning!  I have a new card to share that I created for the new Hearts. challenge going on over at the Dies R Us Challenge Blog.


Dies

When I don't know where to start, I often flip through paper pads.  The papers inspire me and also makes coordinating a breeze.  I don't have many heart dies in my collection, but this La Rue Heart is just so lovely I had to have it.  

I cut the heart out of the gingham card stock and then cut it again out of the blue.  I popped up the gingham paper so the coordinating rose card stock would show through.   I covered the La Rue Heart in glitter and glued it to the rose card stock so it sits below the gingham layer.

I wanted to add a small border to the top and bottom so I cut a Cheery Lynn Horizon Coved Rectangles die and then cut off the scalloped sides.  It added just the right sized delicate scallop.

The Cheery Lynn Love die was cut and then covered with silver Frantage embossing powder.

Last I spritzed some seam binding tape with glimmer mist and made a bow topped with a button and added some sequins for sparkle.

Classy Cards Folk Christmas

Hello, this is my card for the new Classy Cards 'n Such Wrappings Challenge.  My first thought with the ribbons and wrappings in the inspiration photo was to use this wreath die with a variety of designer papers.


I ended up only using one designer pad but the Authentique Tradition double sided paper pad was enough.  I liked the look of this paper, combined with the Kraft Card Stock the star wreath reminded me of American Folk Art.

I began by cutting the wreath with Kraft Card Stock, then I cut it out a few more times using Authentique Tradition design paper.  I cut up the stars mixing the colors up randomly around the wreath.  I mounted the wreath with Joy! foam pads onto a piece of white card stock I embossed with the Anna Griffin embossing folder.

I then matted the embossed layer onto red and then Kraft Card Stock before gluing it onto the white card front.  I added a bow, a button and twine and then some red stickles on top of some of the stars to blend the bow color better with the wreath.

Classy Cards Winter Wonderland Tag

Hi friends!  I created this tag for the current Christmas Tags Challenge at the Classy Cards 'n Such blog.  


The tag was cut from a manila folder with a Tim Holtz bigz tag die.  I colored the background with cadillac pink glimmer mist and added shaded lilac distress stain and seedless preserves distress ink spray.  More distress spray colors are going on my wish list.  I am having so much fun blending them and they provide great coverage.  

After the background was blended with a water mister, I began working on the other elements.  The main oval is from Marianne Craftables Lacey Oval and Flower die.  I sponged tumbled glass distress ink on the oval to color it blue and added dots of Dreamweaver Pearlescent Embossing Paste to the sky to mimic falling snow.   

The trees were cut from the Impression Obsession Evergreen Trees die.  I cut three sets of trees from white card stock, then colored one set by sponging purple distress ink over it.  I layered and glued the trees in place and then added glue and sprinkled Cloud Nine Microfine glitter on the top trees.  

The snowflakes were cut from Impression Obsession's Small Snowflake die set.  I embossed most using Stampendous Frantage Embossing Powder but some were covered with clear stickles.  This was my first time using Frantage EP.  The effects it creates are amazing.  It covers so well and has such beautiful sparkly bits.  I found it works a little better heated from underneath so the larger pieces don't fly off when hit with the heat tool.  I used Shabby Blue on the corner die cut, Shabby Pink on the snowflakes, and silver on another snowflake also on the Cheery Lynn Holly Lace Flourish die cut that I split into two pieces. To finish, I added a bit of clear tinsel glitter around the outside of the oval.  This card has a lot of sparkle.  My five year old wants me to hang this on our tree this year. Now that's praise!  :)

Classy Cards Bright Christmas

Hello friends, I designed this card for our new Classy Cards 'n Such challenge, Christmas Brights.  To me this challenge meant non-traditional Christmas colors.  I chose pink and blue and added sparkles.  I decorate with more traditional colors but it was a lot of fun to branch out and create something "out-of-the-box" for me.


I began by looking through my non-Christmas designer paper but most of it wasn't as bright as I wanted.  I found this pretty blue polka dot paper in my Basic Grey hey you paper pad.  I cut the Memory Box Addison Ornament out of white card stock and then sponged it with pink distress ink before covering it with pink stickles.  I used the negative from the die cut and pasted the design paper behind it.  After the stickles were dry I glued the Addison Ornament to the blue paper.

I added the sentiment from a clear Hero Arts set I had in my stash using a pink Memento ink.  I then positioned the main panel and attached it to the A2 card base with thin foam tape. The pine bough was cut from Impression Obsession's Pine Branch die.  I covered it with glue and sprinkled Stampendous' Frantage Shaved Ice on top.  I then looped a piece of silver cord through the branch and connected it to the top of the Addison Ornament that I'd covered in platinum stickles.

This project may not be as bright as I had hoped but it really sparkles! I hope you can join us this week, I can't wait to see your creations.  Thanks for stopping by today!

Classy Cards Holiday Floral

hi, this is my card for the Classy Cards 'n Such Ornaments Challenge.  I love this Lydia Ornament die from Memory Box.  The detail is amazing and depending on the colors and how it's positioned, it could be used for more than just Christmas.


I cut the Memory Box Lydia Ornament die with white card stock and then used the die as a stencil to sponge the flowers with distress ink.  I then cut the Memory Box Traditional Ornament out of green card stock and glued to two ornaments together.  The flowers were covered in clear Stickles for sparkle.

The circle was cut out of the green patterned paper with a Spellbinders Standard Circle Large die.  The green paper was then popped up using Joy! Foam pads to add dimension.

The branch was cut from the Memory Box Sprig die.  The "Berries" were colored with distress ink and then painted with clear Stickles.  I added the bow and piece of twine and then the Mother of Pearl Rhinestones for a little glitz.
