Sesame Street punching

This adorable card was given to me by Dawn B. congratulating us on the birth of our new son.  How cute is this?  Basically with the same punches, but changing one small detail (well, and the color of the faces of course) you have four adorable Sesame Street characters!  Love it!  Thank you Dawn.

Blueberry Cake 6 x 6 Recipe Card

What a clever use of the Enjoy Every Moment stamp set, huh?  It’s perfect for a recipe card!  Julie shared her Grammy’s Blueberry Cake recipe on a very nicely put together layout using Basic Black, Bravo Burgund, and Old Olive CS and ribbon.  And yes that’s faux stitching with the white gel pen all around the outer edge!  Another patient soul.

Artichoke Dip 6 x 6 Recipe Card

Who doesn’t love a good Artichoke and Parmesan dip?  Definitely one of my faves.  Sarah created this recipe card – clever way to create an artichoke, huh?!  And then she complimented it nicely with some green DSP.  Again, a holiday DSP used in a non-holiday way – gotta love SU!’s DSPs!!

Kristina’s 33rd Challenge

(Originally posted on December 4, 2008)

I wish I could say I’ve participated in all 33 of her Color Challenges, but alas, I have not.  But I did put some ink to paper tonight for the first time in two weeks! (And unfortunately you can tell I’m a bit rusty! LOL)  Oh well.

Here are the challenge colors:

 And here is my card.  I used the Emboss Resist Technique.  I embossed the groovy flowers (for lack of a better term) with craft ink and clear embossing powder.  Then I ran my brayer over it with Chocolate Chip ink.   On the hodgepodge brad I simply dabbed some Taken with Teal craft ink in the indented part of the design and wiped it off the raised part.  The colors just seemed kind of 70’s to me so I went with a ‘groovy’ looking image and wanted it to stand out from a dark background.  I think I achieved a 70’s feel, what do you think?

And once again, I’m cutting it just minutes from her deadline! Eeek!
