CARD CHICKS - February

 Good morning, everyone!

I'm still behind but am gradually catching up. After a serious clean-up of the stamping/ filming corner (Pictures posting tomorrow), I was able to work on Suzy's February card kit for our Card Chicks group on SCS.  

Here's my card:

Aside from the Happy Chocolate Day sentiment, Suzy also provided us with Happy Valentine's Day.

Since I missed that one, I thought I'd have this one prepped and ready to go out in time for National Chocolate Day on July 7th.

The papers were from The Paper Studio (Hobby Lobby).  I matted the pink background onto Basic Black (Stampin' Up!), wrapped the ribbon (from Suzy's stash  then matted everything onto a Polished Pink (Stampin' Up!) card base.

The images were from Deadbeat Designs (now closed). After coloring the candies with Stampin' Blends ( Lt. Flirty Flamingo, Dk. Pink Pirouette, Bronze pluss 100 & 500 Neutrals) I fussy cut them out and mounted on 1.5" squares of Basic White. The dotted pink strip is some of the paper included in the kit. I popped the squares up with dimensionals. The bling on the candies and the sentiment mat are from Gina Marie.

I used Stitched Rectangles (Stampin' Up!) for the sentiment and mat. 

I used the Stampin' Up! Stampin' Seal for the ribbon. That extra weight stuff really holds the ribbon in place!

I'll be back tomorrow to show you the stamping/ filming corner as I return to What's On Your Workdesk Wednesday. I've missed those girls!

Creative Blessings!

CARD CHICKS - July

I have three cards to show you today from the July Card Chicks kit.  Everything is included in the kit for us to use except the base. This month, the papers are from The Paper Studio as are the enamel dots. The ribbon is Offray. The stamp is by Deadbeat Designs.

You may or may not know that all stamp companies have an Angel Policy about how their stamps can be used. Deadbeat Designs policy is a bit unusual.

as long as you don't mechanically reproduce my images I won't release the dogs. So your hand-stamped cards and crafts are fine with me but if you make the Forbes 500, I may be giving you a call one day!

For this first one, I chose Cherry Cobbler. I also used Cherry Cobbler and Old Olive Stampin' Blends

Card number two, I kind of went off-grid with the color for my poppies. I chos So Saffron for the base and Stampin' Blends.

The third card uses Poppy Parade for the base and the Stampin' Blends.

I have a fourth card laid out but not put together. In December we don't receive a kit. Instead, we pull out leftovers from kits and use those for our December challenge. I have lots of left overs from previous kits and my plan (but you know what they say about plans) is to make 2 a day from each remaining kits items. We shall see. 

Last post until Friday. My hip is really fighting me. I did okay yesterday but today I'm back to the nerve really pinching and not wanting to let me walk comfortably. I can only imagine what my hip will be like should I get to mow this afternoon. So dreading that task.

Creative Blessings!
