Chocolate Pieces

I made this card for a My Favorite Things Challenge, where we were to paper piece one of their wonderful images!! I LOVE paper pieceing...cutting is very soothing to me, and once all cut, it is like putting together a little puzzle. However, I may have go a little over board in the cutting on this card. Everything on this image is cut and pieced: the flowers on the chair, the chair itself, her dress, legs, arms/candy and neck...I think I am going cross eyed! LOL!! I even cut out two of the Hershey kisses that are part of this set too! Wow, I was a cutting fool today!

Anyway, I really did have fun with this card, not only with all the cutting, but also with coordinating the different DSP's which are all from SU's Hawaiian Papaya Paper. I am really loving this paper! Oh and the striped Tangerine ribbon...yummy!!

LSC184, SEP08MFTA2 & MFTSC46 - Orange Java a triple threat!

I stamped this card for the LSC184, MFTSC46 and SEP08MFTA2. The LSC184 was to make a card that incorporates both a coffee image and the color orange, the sketch is this weeks MFT sketch challenge, and SEP08MFTA2 challenge was to make a card with no white showing.

I decided to use MFT's Hot Stuff set. For the main image, I stamped it first on whisper white, colored the image with some copic markers, and then stamped it again on a piece of Bella Rose DSP, and cut out the portion of the background to make it look like wall paper behind the image. The coffee bean corners are cut out and popped up on a dimensional, as it the red and orange frame around the main image. The base pink panel is cuttlebugged with the divine swirls embossing folder, and I used some new riding hood red taffeta ribbon to separate the two base panels. The DSP on the middle panels are all from SU's Bella Rose DSP, and finally, to finish off the card, I added a little bit of fun pale pink crimped ribbon in the corner with a SU hodgepodge hardware silver styled ribbon slider.

Wow, feels good to do three challenges at one time...what a fun card this was to make, I LOVE this sketch...such a great way to show off some of the great new DSP's that SU is offering in their new catty!! I am sooo loving the new tangerine tango in color too...at first I was not sure of it, but now that I have used it a number of times I am hooked!

Dare to be Different!

I made this card for MFT's Guest designer challenge. Their theme this month was to make a card with "attitude" in honor of their new stamp set Chika' released last night.

When my 15 y/o niece was visiting me I had just received this set and made a card with it...she LOVED it, so I though this would be a fun set to use for this challenge.

I made all of the cupcakes vanilla with pink frosting except for one...it is chocolate with orange frosting, chocolate sprinkles and a sparkly cherry on top and popped up with a dimentional...(I used red stickles to add the bling to the cherry).

The sentiment reads "dare to be different"...which is computer generated. It is my observation that some teenagers work so hard to fit in, while other work very hard to stand out in a crowd...this card represents the latter.

Some more card details...the scalloped circles were made with my circle nestabilities, and for the regular circles I used my creative memories circle cutter. The background of the card is cuttlebugged with divine swirls, and the DSP used is from SU's summer picnic package.

My Niece's b-day is in about a month, so I am thinking about saving this card for her...I hope she will like it!!
