Western Cards


I can't believe I only have 14 post for the month of November so far.  I am going to have to get busy.  I should have a couple of cards to post tomorrow.

My niece loves horses and so does a very dear friend so when this card showed up at Silhouette Online, I just knew I had to make it.  The wagon wheel didn't make the cut.  The paper kept getting eaten, so I will have to look for something else.

But it is bed time (past time) and I wanted to get the card posted.

I am going to enter it into the following challenges:

Catch The Bug - Round Up
QKR Stampede - Western

I hope you are having a great weekend.  I am working all weekend but hopefully I will get some stamping time.

Meljen's Design

The challenge this week at Meljen's Designs is Friends Forever

My computer died this weekend and I had to have a new one.  My husband never said anything, he just went online and ordered me a new one.  It came in today.  It will take me all weekend to get it set up, but I do like it even with Windows 8 on it.

I thought I would make a small token as a thank you to give to him.  And since he is my best friend, I thought I could use it for the Friends Forever challenge.  I used the Teddy Cookie stamp.  My husband's favorite candy bar is the Cookies ' N Creme bars so I dropped a few of them in the pillow box. 

I also used my polka dot texture folder on the pillow box.  Then I added a plaid ribbon.

Have a nice night.

Denami Design & Curtain Call

I am not 100% happy with the card.  I may have to make some changes to it, but that is nothing new.  I am always changing things on my cards when I make several.  I was going to do a Christmas wreath but decided at the last minute to make a fall one.

I am going to use the card for the Curtain Call Welcome Home challenge.

Well I am off to bed.  Have a great night.

Silhouette Online

As you have probably noticed if you read my blog regularly, I love the 3D projects on Silhouette Online.  I knew when I saw the 3D acorn that it would go really well with all of the fall decorations on my mantle.  I just had to cut it.

I wasn't completely happy with it, but it did find a home on my coffee table instead of the mantle.  To me, the bottom of the acorn is too tall.  It needs to be shorter and rounder.  When I asked my husband, what is was, he didn't know.

Have a nice evening.

Bugaboo Stamps

When I saw this little elf, I knew he would be perfect for the rocking cards.   It is still one of my favorite cards.  There is just so much you can do and they are so easy to put together. 

The blue and white paper is one of my favorites.  I just love this paper.  I try to keep some in stock so I will always have it to use.  It is by Pebbles and called Baby of Mine.  It comes in pink and blue.  I usually have both.

I am going to use the little elf on the Digi Darla's Photo #87 challenge and the Chocolate Coffee Cards' Monocromatic challenge.

Have a nice evening.



Denami Designs

I pulled out my Denami Designs' stamps today and started playing around with them.  I had the Sunday Sketch and Stamp Sketch #181 for this card.  The cornucopia is a little small but I think it looks good on all of the other layers.

I might at a small Happy Thanksgiving to the green pennant.  I haven't decided yet.  I like the little buttons.  I am almost out of them.  I guess I need to add them to my craft shopping list.

This card will also be used in the QKR Stampede's Anything Goes Harvest Challenge.

I am planning on using my Denami stamps again between now and Thanksgiving.

Have a nice evening.



Thankful Leaves

As promised, here is another project for you.  It is the Thankful card from Silhouette Online.  I made it two different ways.  I couldn't decide which way I liked best.  I have trouble getting script words to cut on my cameo but I thought these came out pretty good.

I will be entering it in the following challenges:
   Incy Wincy - Ribbon, Twine or Fibre
   Eureka - Fall Leaves
   Cardz TV - Thankful
   Creative Cutting - Thanksgiving
   
I hope you have a great weekend.
