Mosaic Madness Birthday

 

I may have gotten carried away with the mosaic tiles for this card but the stamp set is called "Mosaic Madness".  This was made for a very special friend so I didn't mind all the work that went into creating the card.  The most time consuming part was getting everything lined up - thank goodness for my stamp-a-ma-jig and grid paper!

Supplies Used:
Stamps:  Mosaic Madness, Petite Pairs
Paper:  Whisper White, Soft Sky, Close to Cocoa
Ink:  Soft Sky, Close to Cocoa
Accessories:  Modern Mosaic Embossing Folder, Mosaic Punch, 1 1/4" & 1 3/8" Circle Punches, Itty Bitty Shapes Punch Pack, Rhinestones, Stamp-a-ma-jig, Dimensionals

Christmas Quilt

 

This is the other quilt card I made for the June 2013 Christmas card challenge.  I was inspired by this card created by Nancy Riley.  The center is a 1 1/4" square and the dsp strips were all cut at 1/4".  I basically followed the instructions Nancy provided and although it was time consuming I like how the card turned out. 

Supplies Used:
Stamps:  Heard from the Heart
Paper:  Very Vanilla, Real Red, Wild Wasabi, Holly Berry Bouquet DSP
Ink:  Real Red
Accessories:  Fashionable Hearts Embosslit, Adorning Accents Edgelits, Square Lattice Embossing Folder, 1 1/4" Square Punch, Paper Piercing Tool, Essentials Paper Piercing Template, Dimensionals

Quilted Star

 

I have a couple more Christmas cards to post yet so I can get caught up on the challenges.  The June 2013 Christmas card challenge was to make a quilt card.  I'm not a quilter so I had to do some searching to find some easy instructions and I found this card made by Karen Barber.  She had good instructions on her blog but I did modify the square size to suit my card.  I only made four of the quilted star cards so in order to complete my goal of eight Christmas cards per challenge I decided to look for different quilt instructions for the other four cards.  I will post the other design tomorrow with links to the instructions and my inspiration.

Supplies Used:
Paper:  Very Vanilla, Real Red, Wild Wasabi, Holly Berry Bouquet DSP
Accessories:  Computer Generated Sentiment, 1" Square Punch, Button, 1/8" Tafetta Ribbon, Finial Press Embossing Folder, Grid Paper, Adhesive, Mini Glue Dots

Layered Snowflakes

 

I don't know where the time goes, but I'm finally getting back to posting some cards.  This was the card I made for the May 2013 Christmas card challenge.  Actually, I made 8 cards but they all look basically the same.  It was a sketch challenge and this is what I came up with.  I did modify the sketch slightly by having the background layer larger than what the sketch showed.  I think I ended up using most of the large felt flurries that I had left from a couple of years ago.

Supplies Used:
Stamps:  Short & Sweet
Paper:  Whisper White, Real Red, Baja Breeze, Ski Slope DSP
Ink:  Black
Accessories:  Felt Flurries (Large & Small), Snow Flurries Embossing Folder, Rhinestone Brads, Frost White Shimmer Mist, Mini Glue Dots, Dimensionals
