Make Lemonade.....

Hello crafty friends: It's time for another SHOPPING OUR STASH challenge and the new one is all about BEVERAGES, any kind so, we all hope you go and shop your stash and come play with us in our gallery.

This is the card I made to inspire you to join us.

This sweet image is from a Penny Black set called HOMEMADE and it's just adorable.

I stamped the image on Canson Multimedia paper with Stazon black ink and colored it with Prismacolor pencils. I sponged a bit of Shabby Shutters and Squeezed Lemonade around it and popped it up with fun foam.

The patter paper is from Lili of the Valley(discontinued), the sentiment from the set. I added 4 enamel dots from GINA MARIE DESIGNS.

This is how the INSIDE of my card looks like.

I stamped the border with a retired SU set called "Delicate Details", the sentiment and the lemon slices, from the set.

I  hope you stop by the SHOPPING OUR STASH challenge blog to get more inspiration from my teammates and then, come and play along with us in our gallery.

Thank you for stopping by, your comments always make my day.

Hugs.

TWOFER CHALLENGE #7 "BEVERAGE".....

Hello everyone: Well, I finally was able to finish my TWOFER CARD CHALLENGE cards, it took a bit of figuring it out and finding time to put my thinking cap to come up with a good idea for this fun challenge, I'm telling you, Darnell and the rest of the gals really make you use your noodle in the most productive way to create two completely different cards, for two different occasions, using the same stamps, dies or punches, here are my two cards together and then, I will show you individual pictures explaining what I used to create them.

I had a few stamp sets chosen before I settled with this one called "Happy Hour" (SU retired 2012-2013), I really love the festive look of these glasses, they give you a lot of possibilities for different occasions.  I wanted to use them in their conventional way and then, try to make them look like something other than glasses so, this is what I came up with, a Birthday card and a Christmas card using the same images.

This is my first card, the pattern papers are from an old stash, I just stamped the images on Whisper White scraps with distress inks, fussy cut them and paste them on a piece of Vellum, I didn't want to cover the pretty gold polka-dot paper with cardstock. The ribbon is from my stash, the sentiment is from this cute set and I stamped it on a banner die cut from Spellbinders.

This is how the INSIDE of my card looks like.

 

The sentiment is from a retired SU set called "Whimsical Words", the Martini glass from the set.

******************************************************************

This is my second card.

I stamped the same images and also fussy cut them and turned them into Christmas Ornaments, the round ornament was stamped twice to get the circle, I added some gold glitter paper to them and "hung" them on a couple of Pine Branches cut with the dies from the retired SU set called "Pretty Pines", the bow and holy are also cut with this die set.

I added a few Rhine Stones for a bit of festive bling and a sentiment from a Power Poppy set called Cozy Cupfuls.

This is how the INSIDE of my second card looks like.

I punched the panel with an old Friskas punch, the sentiment and pine cone branch are from a Power Poppy set called Merry Littles.

I want to enter this card to the following challenge.
