Butterfly Love @ OSAAT

Good afternoon!
Told you I would be back today with another card to share :) I have my second Design Team card with One Stitich At A Time and I think it turned out so pretty (I'm a bit biased though lol). Our challenge this week at OSAAT is Challenge #128 'Use a Digi'.

 I made an easel card for the DT this time (I just love this type):

Penguin Christmas Card

Wow, I can't believe I just completed another Christmas card for a few challenges. It is so hot and humid here these days that working on a Christmas card almost seems wrong. For this card, I have used one of my favourite Christmas colours, blue. I do own 1 or 2 penguin stamps but decided to use this digi so I could enter my card into a digi challenge. As I don't own any digis ........... yet, I had to search the internet first.
Here is my card:

Card Front

 

Just about everything on here that could be distressed with ink, has been. I even distressed the edges of my paper roses before rolling them up. Talk about a very inky mess!

Yup, the inside of my card is distressed too!

 Recipe:

Patterned Paper - DCWV

Cardstock - Recollections and Copic

Image - "Yikes" digi from Stitchy Bear Digital Stamps

Sentiment - My Stamp Box

Ink - "Moonstruck" from CTMH

Ribbon - Stash

Flowers - Handmade by me using matching patterned paper, ink and "Foliage" punches from Paper Shapers for the flat flowers. The roses were made by cutting circles from my paper which I then cut in a spiral pattern using "Cloud" scissors from Fiskar. The paper 'spring' was then distressed with ink and rolled by me. The paper roll was attached to a with CTMH Liquid Glass.

Leaves - "Snowflake" punch from Paper Shapers that I then cut into pieces

Glitter around outside of image - DecoArt Glamour Dust

Copics - B00, B24, C1, C3, C5, C7, R01, R29, YR00 and 0 Colourless Blender

The edge of my card was scalloped with the Large Scallop Edgelets from Stampin' Up and my Cuttlebug

Jace's 1st Birthday Card

HAPPY 1ST BIRTHDAY TO MY GRANDSON JACE

In honor of his first birthday, I have made him a red, white and blue card with lots of glittery stars. For Jace's card, I used a sketch from Crafting Life's Pieces Challenge blog.

Here is the fabulous sketch:

I really loved this sketch and look forward to using it lots; especially for easel cards. The red, white and blue colour theme came from 2 different challenge blogs: Paper Pretties Monday challenge and The Poodle Parlour.

Here is Jace's 1st Birthday card:

Supplies Used:

Image - Sarah Kay stamp "Jean-Luc Playing Ball With Claude"

White Pen - Signo Uni-ball

Sentiments - CTMH "Say It in Style" and "Curly Sentiments" stamp sets

Star Embellishments - I made these by using the Creative Memories star punch to punch shapes from white cardstock. I then edged each star with glue and covered that with either Martha Stewart "Brillo" or Recollections "Marine" glitter.
