DIVA Challenge
It's time for another DIVA challenge! We have a color challenge this week. I absolutely love these colors together. Not sure I picked the right card, though. But, I will definitely be playing around with these colors some more! They are so stunning together in real life!
Inspiration from my card came from a poster on Splitcoast, minapier. She had a beautiful square card in gorgeous colors using this set. It is hard to tell from my picture, but the base of the card is Sage Shadow, as well as one of the scallops under the circle.Supplies~
Stamps: Simple Friendship
Ink: Night of Navy, Real Red
Cardstock: Sage Shadow, Whisper White, Night of navy, Bordering Blue
Accessories: 1-3/4" circle punch, Circles 2 die, Big Shot, 5/8" grosgrain Real Red Ribbon, rhinestone brad from the Pretties Kit
Swing by the DIVA blog and see what gorgeous creations the other DIVA's have come up with for your inspiration! Why don't you play along with us? Simply link your creation using Mr. Linky. Thanks for stopping by!

So simple and elegant, this card could easily fit a number of occasions just by changing the sentiment. The original card I saw by Silke Ledlow I believe was a Christmas card, but it has been a while and I can't quite remember. This piece of DSP has some flocking on it and is very striking in person!Supplies~
Stamps: Teeny Tiny Wishes, Friends 24/7
Ink: Real Red
Cardstock: Real Red, Whisper White, Christmas Cocoa Specialty DSP
Accessories: Modern Label Punch, Word Window punch, Scallop border punch, Real Red 5/8" grosgrain ribbon

I saw a version of this card out there in the blog world, but can't quite seem to remember where. Her card (another demo) was so pretty, though, and mine just doesn't do it justice. But, it is another holiday card idea for you just the same.Supplies~
Stamps: Many Merry Messages
Ink: Real Red
Cardstock: Whisper White, Real Red
Accessories: Old Olive 5/8" grosgrain ribbon, 5-petal punch, Dazzling Diamonds, Eyelet border punch
The "poinsettia" flowers are two punched images from the 5-petal punch, one on top of the other. I put a dab - more like a blob - of Crystal Effects in the middle and then some Dazzling Diamonds glitter. I guess I need to work on that technique! LOL! I tried to distress the leaf edges a bit and sponged them with some Real Red ink to make them a little darker in certain places.
Have a great weekend!

Happy Friday! Hope you have had a good week. This is just a real quick card to bring you into the weekend. I used the Dasher stamp which can be found on page 208 of the Idea Book and Catalog, on the "under $10" page. He is a cutie! Supplies~
Stamps: Dasher, Snow Swirled
Ink: Soft Suede
Cardstock: Soft Suede, Whisper White, Christmas Cocoa Specialty DSP
Accessories: Soft Suede grosgrain ribbon
There really isn't much to this card and it looks pretty self-explanatory, but if you need some help, don't hesitate to ask. Hope you call have a wonderful weekend!

Another Christmas card! This beautiful card was inspired by Lisa Freeman and, once again, uses the Big Shot. The corner of the Whisper White main layer is embossed with the Elegant Bouquet embossing folder and the punched out ornament is embossed with the Finial Press embossing folder. For the centers of the flowers, I added some color with a Real Red marker.Supplies~
Stamps: Many Merry Messages
Ink: Real Red - pad and marker
Cardstock: Real Red, Whisper White
Accessories: Silver cord, Ornament punch, Finial Press and Elegant Bouquet embossing folders, Big Shot
Super easy and quick!

I love to make Christmas cards, though I am not so good at sending them. This one has some nontraditional Christmas colors, which I think makes it more interesting! What do you think? Supplies~
Stamps: Serene Snowflakes, Teeny Tiny Wishes
Ink: Soft Suede, Not Quite Navy
Cardstock: Soft Suede, Not Quite Navy, Whisper White
Accessories: Modern Label punch, Word Window punch, white organza ribbon, circle rhinestone brad, dimensionals

Happy Monday to you all! I have gotten so caught up in my personal circus lately that I just have not had a chance to blog. But, I do have a bunch to show you over the next couple of days to make up for it. I have had some time here and there to create a little bit. Our challenge this week over at Late Night Stampers Group is to make some handmade gifts and while I have a great handmade gift in mind, it is not quite complete yet. So, we are going to start with some gift tags. These are so pretty in person and were inspired by Becky Roberts. I thought they were going to fit into one of those little tins, but they are just a hair too big. I am going to have to create a little box for them, but will work on that a little later. They are, of course, made with the Big Shot and Top Note die, along with an embossing folder and the ornament punch. Finish off with some silver cord and gorgeous organza ribbon - I would love to receive these pretty tags as a gift!Supplies~
Stamps: Delightful Decorations
Ink: Soft Suede
Cardstock: Real Red, Whisper White, Christmas Cocoa Specialty DSP
Accessories: Large eyelet, Crop-A-Dile, silver cord, ornament punch, white organza ribbon, Top Note die, Big Shot, Petals-A-Plenty embossing folder
