Weekly Challenge

Slim-Line Cards seem to be the newest rage in card making, so for last weeks challenge I challenged my team to make a slim-line card.

I started out the week by sharing my card

I used the fabulous IN GOOD TASTE Designer Paper. I just love this paper! It is full of wood grains, textures, and tiles.  I chose this tile image for the base of my card that measures 4" x 8-1/2" and fits in an A10 envelope.

I used the stamp set HARVEST HELLOS for the pumpkin, the Leaves are from the GATHERED LEAVES DIES, The wheat sprigs from the SUNFLOWER DIES. The DAISY PUNCH & the MEDIUM DAISY PUNCH along with DAISY LANE Stamp Set made the pretty flowers.  My sentiment came from a past Paper Pumpkin Kit.

Colors included in this card: Cajun Craze, Cherry Cobbler, Crumb Cake, Daffodil Delight, Garden Green, Mint Macron, Pumpkin Pie, Soft Suede

Now to share the cards that my team made for the Slim-Line Card Challenge:
The first card came in from Inez:

Inez used her Whale Done Designer Paper for this fun card. It reminds me of when my hubby and I went on a submarine ride in Hawaii (on our 25th anniversary year) and as we looked out the round port holes we could see all the varieties of sea creatures.

 Rachel's slim-line card has a wonderful fall theme!  Hello, Fall!! She used the TODAYS TILES Photopolymer Stamp Set and made her cute pumpkins from her oval punches.

Lynda used some elements from one of her past Paper Pumpkin Kits for this fun bee-themed card

 Linda used the Baby Wipe Technique for beautiful fall leaves for her slim-line card

Vicki  stamped her own Designer Paper, and I used the ornate floral embossing folder. 

Karen works at her church with the music program so the MUSIC FROM THE HEART (R) is perfect for her. The slim-line card allows her more surface space to add all of these elements for her music director.

This next card is from Barb using the Painted Poppies stamp set!  Love it!

Bonnie made this fun card with the zebras! and added a very special  #10 to personalize this special birthday card on the inside.

Pam made this beautiful card using the FLOWERS FOR EVERY SEASON 6x6 Designer Paper.

This last card is another one that I made - this time I made it for a special order. She needed 4 little girls, 3 brunettes and one blonde. I'm so glad that she like it! I used the BEAUTIFUL MOMENTS Stamp Set and it was all done with watercoloring onto Shimmery White Paper.

Painted Petals Mini Treat Bag

While prepping for todays COME STAMP WITH ME class and making this card for the ladies to make today...

I ended up with a ton of leftovers (lucky leftovers) so I got to work making some 3x3 notes.  If you purchase anything through me as your demonstrator you are likely to find one of these in your bag.

When Stampin' Up! retired the Perfect Polka Dots Embossing Folder I was shocked and a little dismayed because it was my go-to for texturizing a background, BUT look... a new favorite - ELEGANT DOTS Embossing Folder.  I love it, LOVE it, LOVE IT!

So pop on over today for some fun stamping between 10am and 5pm to COME STAMP WITH ME.  Have any questions - the details are on the side bar of this blog or you can contact me HERE

Thanks for stopping by!

Painted Petals

This week I will be featuring Mother's Day cards.  This next holiday is creeping up on us rather quickly and you don't want to wait until the last minute to make or buy a card for your mom on this special day.  This first card was inspired by Glenda Calkins who is my direct up line in Stampin' Up! She has been a great encouragement in my Stampin' Up! business even when I swore I was only going to sign on to get the discount.  That is where the story began in February 2008 and look how far I've come!!

And here are the ingredients that I used to make this pretty card:

Wrapping Up The Week: Adventure Bound

I have made more cards using the ADVENTURE BOUND Designer Paper Stack than I have days to share with you so I will share a final few that were also favorites of mine.
On this card I used my non-Stampin' Up! product called "flower-soft" that I bought at a local hobby store.  I loved how the flowers are climbing the brick wall.

 This one will be great for an anniversary or maybe I can save it for next year's Valentines Day! - so cute using the WOOD YOU BE MINE? stamp set.

 The beautiful Lotus Blossom on this card is one of the stamp sets that you can get FREE with a $50 purchase during Sale a bration. These 2 cards are using the same woodgrain paper from the ADVENTURE BOUND Designer Series Paper Stack.  I love the versatility of this paper!

 Another favorite with the tree images.  All I had to do was add the beautiful Butterfly.  It is layered with vellum and Mossy Meadow card stock

 Simple guy card - I love the antique car image because my brother-in-law owns antique cars and when I was a teen ager he would take me for rides in his Model-T.  I loved how all the people would stare and be envious of being able to ride in a car like that.  Of course it wasn't so cool when the car stopped running at a stop light and he had to get out to crank it!! Great memories!!

 This card was one we made at a COME STAMP WITH ME Tuesday Class using the stone image paper from the ADVENTURE BOUND Designer Series Paper Stack

 And this one with the water - so cool! I teamed it up with the MOON LAKE stamp set for my February Stamp a Stack class.  The ladies got to do some creative sponging on this one.

Believe it or not, I still have a couple more paper designs that I still haven't used yet.  This paper stack is such a great bargain at only $6.95 for 48 sheets of 4 1/2" x 6 1/2" double sided designer paper. (4 each of 12 double-sided designs)
Oh my there are so many items to list. Please just click HERE to shop with me, and if you have any questions you can contact me via email at christiwaite@gmail.com

Painted Petals

This is a card that we made at this months card club.  It is taken directly from the Occasions Catalog on page 18.  One of my stamping gals asked me if I knew how this pretty card was made and I tried to figure it out, I ended up calling Stampin' Up! and they were so very gracious to search out the gal who made that card for the catalog and helped us to put it together.  so go ahead - use your Stampin' Up! catalog for a great reference of ideas in your card making!!

A WOW card that is super simple
Here are the supplies that I used to make this card
