Pink by Design Ink it Pink Challenge

I'm entering this card in the Ink It Pink Challenge 6: Ribbon.  I totally cased it from the July 2012 CardMaker magazine (pg. 14). I did change the colors, papers and ribbon. This is my first major attempt at quilling. It was very easy and not to time consuming.

I made this card for my girlfriend's birthday. She makes beautiful (and delicious) cakes and cupcakes so I thought this quilled cupcake would be perfect for her. I haven't given it to her yet so I hope she doesn't see it here first. 

The doily I used on the background is just one that you buy in the cake decorating aisle of the grocery store. I've seen other cards using doilies and knew I had to try this. Of course it wouldn't be a card from me without some bling! : )

I hope you like the card!

SP & Company Royal Blue Challenge

I'm entering this card in SP & Company Royal Blue Challenge. The challenge of course is to use royal blue as the main color.

I used Just A Note  stamp set and Swirly Doo Valentine's stamp set for this card.

Father's Day

Here's the card I made for my dad and my father-in-law. It fits both of them perfectly!

I'm also entering it in the Art Impressions Challenge 67-Husband/Father and in Pink by Design Ink It Pink Challenge 2.

 

SP & Company Hot Pink Challenge

This is a card that I am entering in Sami's Hot Pink Challenge. You can enter here. I used Sami's Bold Sentimenta III - Birthdays Stamp Set for the sentiment and Stampin Up's Simply Soft set for the flower. I hope you like it!

SP & Company Blog Hop "Orange" Challenge

Hi Everyone,

Here is the card that I am posting on SP & Company's Blog Hop "Orange" Challenge. We are supposed to use the color orange and Sami's stamps. I swear that the background of this card IS orange. I don't know if I need to figure out how to take pictures or if I need a new camera. It's very frustrating.

Anway, I used Sami's Mix 'n Match: Basics stamp set. I love the Mix 'n Match sets.

Here is a close up of the butterfly. I cut it on my Cricut then used lots of Stickles to bling it up.

Thanks for looking!

SP & Company Lavender Challenge

I'm entering this card in Scrapmaster's Paradise Lavender Challenge. Using lavender wasn't difficult but the challenge for me is coloring. I'm still getting the hang of it. I embossed the background with a Sizzix Diamond embossing folder and no card of mine is complete until I bling it in some way!

The goat stamp is from The Stampin' Place and the sentiment is from SP & Company's Mustache Madness. This set has a bunch of great sayings.

I don't know who will be the recipient of this card but I hope they enjoy it.
