CCEE Challenge -- CCEE1050
Hostess -- Charlene
Challenge -- Mittens of some sort on your card/project
I used a fabulous new set from GinaK Designs for this 'mitten' card. I was totally influenced to buy it because it matches the fabulous mitten Spellbinders dies. And....they work so perfectly together. I really wanted to get them as cutwork is a real challenge to me because of my weak peepers. And I am thrilled with the results!!! Anyhooooo.....I started with the mittens and then just 'built' this card.
I used a Martha Stewart large snowflake punch, a McGill smaller snowflake punch, a Martha Stewart border punch, an SU oval punch, and some Nestabilities. The rest I am sure you can see for yourself.
Now....be sure to go check out the MITTEN creations by the rest of the fab team at the CCEE BLOG. We will be taking the rest of December off, so the CCEE will be all ready to play again in the NEW YEAR!!
Stampin B's Challenge # 89
Hostess - Brenda
Challenge - Baby Card
I must first apologize for my photo. No matter what I did, that bow POPS much more than it does in real life. The bow actually, in real life, matches the bow on the bear's neck and the base card, but the photo program kind of 'smashes' its color in your face.
Anyhooooooooooooo......I used one of my fav SU retired sets, Button Bear, to make my baby card, which is obviously intended for a baby girl. I used a Marvy decorative corner punch as well as a Marvy corner rounder. The border punch is by Martha Stewart, while the ribbon is from SU.
The B's have been busy with their baby cards, so be sure to go to the Stampin B's Blog to check them all out.
