Happy 100th Birthday

 

Hello everyone, Todays card was designed for The Robins Nest Creative and for my Great Uncle Ken who just turned 100, wow! How exciting that is. I hope that one day I too can celebrate 100. So again Happy 100th Birthday Uncle Ken, and hope it was an amazing day!

For my card I wanted to keep it as manly as possible , but also wanted to do something extra special, so I chose to do my faux glass flowers. I do have many videos on doing these. Now for these here, I did use inks and water to blend them, and love the way they turned out. I always love doing the glass flowers as I feel they look so much prettier and just have a look of their own verses just doing the paper ones. 

Next I decorated using the dew drops throughout the flowers as the leaves. Love this as I do this on lots of my projects. 

My original post of this card can be found here on the Robins Nest Creative blog.

Happy Crafting!

Hugs to all,

Cheryl

Sweet Tea cup w/Really Reasonable Ribbon

Hello everyone and happy Monday to you all! Today's Tea cup was designed for Really Reasonable Ribbon and for a class I'm doing for my doll club meeting in November , that I'm hosting. I thought this would be a fun project for the ladies to all do.
 

My tea cup was cut using a die and Matt board to give it some strength I used scor tape to hold together. I then glued all the design papers to each matt board using scor tape and a little liquid glue. I had bought a huge pack of this design paper at our local warehouse sale, it cost me 1.00 for like 25 sheets. super awesome deal. The die I used is an Old Sizzix die. I added Really Reasonable ribbon's Gabrielle Lace My flowers were done using my Glass Flower techniques found HERE on my blog. I have a few different ones, hope you enjoy! I then hot glued the pearls to the centers of all my flowers. I added some feathers, and some branches for some embellishing on my cup. The ribbon bow was added on to hang the tag. I forgot to stamp a sentiment on my tag, oops!

Really Reasonable ribbon Supplies:

Gabrielle Off white Lace

Metallic Edge Satin Ribbon Christmas collection

Score Tape

Dream Big Telescoping Card

Hello everyone, today I am sharing my Dream Big Telescope Fold Card designed for JustRite Papercraft, using their beautiful Stamps and dies! My card was also created for a few different challenges, and I will have them listed below!

LOVE making the Telescope cards, they are super fun and easy to create. I did use the Beautiful Stamps from JustRite Papercraft and they are called Congrats Card Basics(CR05068), those are all the sentiments, and iron works.
Next I used the Small Oval Wishes stamps(CR-05053) and that would be one of the decorated oval stamps on the top part of my card. Also used the coordinating dies called "Joy Oval Frame Dies(DIE-05049) and to back the oval Dream Big layer, I used the JustRite Heart & Frame Die(DIE-05016) I cut 2 of those out in cream(small heart die) and distressed them and placed them behind the small oval die cut piece. Love how it frames that area perfect!

 For my card base I used random spellbinders dies, that I have in my stash. Card measures 4 x 4 closed and 4 x 9 open. I love that the bottom part has a hidden message area, I do have a video showing how to create this card, and you can find that HERE in my Tutorials!

Flowers are JustRite Floral Trio One Dies(DIE-05022) #3 cut 6 times and distressed with Red Ink to give this look. I also airbrushed a bit of the flowers. Lastly I did do my Glass Flower technique and added a half backed pearl to each flower.

Embellishments - Ribbon from my stash, old old vintage button, and then a part of a feather!

 In the photo above you can see where you can do your writing and hide it. My writing is sloppy, so I would want it hidden....hehehehehehehe LOL anyways it is a little messy. :)

Challenges:
Word Art Wednesday /Anything Goes
Card and Scrap/Flower challenge
Craft Dee Bowz/Anything goes with a handmade bow
Scrappyland/anything goes(I used spellbinders to create my telescope card)
