Multi Floral Background

 This is my post on the Tutti Designs blog today.

Happy Tuesday Tutti Fans! 

My card was created using one of the most beautiful dies
MULTI FLORAL BACKGROUND.

This card was created for both Tutti Designs and the
UK Hochanda TV show that aired on October 27th

I simply die cut from white card stock
then inked a white panel with various inks
and adhered the die cut to that.

The entire panel then was added to a black card base.

At this point I didn't add a sentiment yet so it can be used
for any occasion, but truth be known
I didn't want to cover up any of the beautiful die!

Happy Birthday

 It's time for a new challenge theme at 
The Sisterhood of Crafters and it is
EMBOSSING.

My friend Dar (and she is also one of the 'sistah's)
gifted me a couple 3D embossing folders for my birthday
and this is one of them.

It embosses so beautifully,
A little hint with the 3D folders is to spritz your card stock
before embossing to prevent cutting into the detail.

I got out some very old Pebbles Cream chalk 'paints'
and colored the embossed image .

I had the die cut banner and the vellum butterfly
already in my stash so added those to the card front.
I think by coloring in the image it takes the embossing folder to a whole new level!

We would love to have you join our challenge and join in with us.
Come visit at The Sisterhood and see all the embossing by my 'sistahs'!

Want some more fun?
Don't forget there is an all new monthly challenge
just for Halloween and you can read about it at
Two Old Bats Halloween Challenge.

Sitting Pretty

This is my post on the Tutti Designs blog today.

 Happy Tuesday! 

Diane with you today with the cutest kitty cats card!
This card was created for both Tutti Designs and
the Hochanda TV show in the UK
which aired live on October 27th.
I die cut a back drop from a dotted paper
using one of the Cross Stitch Nesting Rectangles.

The die for the kitties is 'Kitty Window'.
It was cut from white then the leaves were
colored in with Copics.

I die cut just the kitties once again from scrap papers
then paper pieced them on the white base.

I adhered it to a pretty white design paper
then carefully cut around the edge for
the background.

To finish I simply added a couple of floss bows and a few flowers!

Pine Cones and/or Pine Trees

We have a fun new challenge theme and a fabulous
new mood board on the
Double D Challenge blog today
and the theme is 
PINE TREES AND/OR PINE CONES

I have to tell you,
I created this card with some pretty OLD Stamps and Dies.
Of Course I went with the upper right corner to inspire me
knowing I could somewhat replicate it!

I had a hoop die that was just perfect!

The trees inside are from SU Noble Deer (2004) set

which I think almost everyone must own!

I used Stickles Diamond along the tree line

which seems to be picking up the green color...oh well I kind of like it!

The pine branch and pine cones are from Spellbinders Fall Foliage

and it is the first time I think I have used them (about time too).

So we would love to see your pine creations over at 

Double D...come join us!!

Supplies used:

Stamps: SU Noble Deer

Dies: Neat & Tangled Hoop set

Spellbinders Fall Foliage

Paper:  Carta Bella Cabin Fever

Magical Toadstools

This is my post on the Tutti Designs blog today.

 Hello Tutti Fans!

Today I have a fun and playful card I created not only for
Tutti Designs but for the Hochanda TV show in the UK
that was live on Oct 27th!

I had a LOT of fun with this card
first  by stenciling my background clouds and grass!
Since the 'slimline' cards are all the new fad right now
I decided to create one using the Magical Toadstool die
by cutting it three times for the base
and three more times in red card stock for the mushroom caps.

I then paper pieced the red caps on then the rest of the
mushrooms and flowers were colored in with Copics.

I added some Nuvo drops to the flower centers,
a few die cut butterflies
and stamped the smile sentiment
which I thought fit these mushroom's perfectly!

Keep good track of the Tutti Designs store,
 as soon Tutti will have an entire NEW line of slimline dies!!

Happy Halloween

 An exciting day!
It's our first 'real' monthly challenge at the NEW
Two Old Bats Halloween Challenge!

Of course the theme is always Anything Goes.

I have so much Halloween goodies that this will be a great
way to be able to use them!

With that being said, I did purchase a NEW to me Halloween stamp
only because in earlier years, before my card making
my sister and I had a wonderful crafty thing going
and one of the things I did make were Halloween stuffed
dress forms to sit on your table, so this stamp
brought back those fun fun memories!
She purchased one from me and still has it,
how I wish I would of kept one for myself,
maybe that would make a good winter project...
to make myself one!

Anyhow,  here is my card!

This is one of the projects I did while we were gone to our 'north house
(as I call it) this summer.
I used a lot

 of Distress inks on it and am pretty happy how it turned out.

The stamp is from Deep Red and the sentiment is an old SU one!

Now you need to pop on over to Two Old Bats Halloween challenge
and see all the amazing and fun
creations from the Design Team
and join in with us while there!

Golden Birthday

There is a new challenge theme today at 
The Sisterhood of Crafters
 and our theme was chosen by our 'sistah' Vicki
and it is The Golden Days of Fall
use gold on your project.

I am happy to say I am actually using a few new things
recently purchased.

The designer paper is Prima Pumpkin and Spice
and the gold die cut is from the Fall Warehouse sale
at Spellbinders.
It is a 2 die set called Leafy Border.
I don't know if you have ever bought from these sales
but when they have them, they are amazing.
I even bought a little die cut machine the Prism for $10.
So cute and it sets on my desk and the die I used fits thru it! 

I also used a few older things, the 'candis' and a die and sentiment 
from Lawn Fawn that I embossed with Sparkle N Sprinkles embossing
powder Gold Detail.

Tot see some elegant and pretty cards created by my 'sistahs'
