Hey friends!! Popping in today to let you know who won the two gifts I have to giveaway and to share two cards. First to my winners... Greta wins the CAS-ual Fridays bundle and Judy Tuck wins the Concord & 9th bundle! Please let me know your addresses so I can send off your new goodies!! Now... on to my cards...
First up is a card that I made for the December Reverse Confetti Sketch for You to Try and the current Color Throwdown challenge. I think this also works for the current AAA Cards challenge (it is a Christmas card and it has stars on it) so I will be posting it there. I had meant to use a different RC stamp set, but ended up using the same set I used for the November SFTTY... Seasonal Sentiments. After I die cut everything (using Spellbinders plain and scallope circle dies and a RC Confetti Cut die) and then started to put everything together I thought the card was a bit plain. I added some embossing to the two cardstock strips, but that didn't help much. So I decided to die cut the star garland (from Reverse Confetti) from the aqua, hot pink and silver glitter paper. It definitely adds a bit more to the card, but I'm wondering if I should have opted for some sequins instead. But I guess we all have those cards that don't exactly turn out how we thought they would, lol!!
The second card is for the current Freshly Made Sketches. I used papers and stickers from the December Simon Says Stamp card kit and some glitter paper from Heidi Swapp. I absolutely love the glitter paper that comes in the pad. I need to head to Joann's to see if they still have any left. The papers I used are from PinkFresh Studio. I die cut the main panel and then cut the two other cardstock pieces. A strip of the bright white glitter paper was added to the one edge of the smaller piece. I layered up everything and finished with a PinkFresh Studio puffy sticker. Some self-adhesive sequins from Jillibean Soup were added and I was done. Absolutely no stamping on this one. Sometimes it is nice to make a card that doesn't involve stamping!
Thanks for stopping by today...
