Kristina Werner's Color Inspiration #38

I think I like having Kristina's Challenge closer to the end of the week. :-) 

I never thought I would use pink and orange shade in one card, but look, I did it! :-) 

I'm not quite satisfied with the pictures I take. I  have a fairly new camera, I must be doing something that I shouldn't or must be not doing something that I should. 

{Forever} Card ~ 5 1/4 x 5 1/4

As always....

• Card stock and patterned paper from Paper Studio;
• Brads from Paper Studio;
• Ribbon from RibbonFX;
• Paper flower from K&C Company;
• Sticker with {Forever} from Paper Studio;

I admit that I haven't shopped for card supplies anywhere else besides Hobby Lobby. I started looking around on the internet, to broaden my stamp and paper horizon. If you had a good, great, awesome experience with some things you found, I would love it if you shared it with me. 

Look up the challenge and the other (awesome, I assure you!) entries HERE.

A card for DBU

Jen del Muro celebrates the New Year and New Look of her blog by giving away a HUGE blog tart giveaway. It made my eyes "drool" :-). So I decided to participate, by making a card for the international students at Dallas Baptist University. 

It would be awesome if you would like to send a card to DBU and enter to win Jen's Blog Tart Giveaway!

I have been an "international student" twice in my life, so  I know how it is to be in a new place, new country, new continent!!, I know how it feels to not know anyone, so I decided to make a card with the sentiment "You're invited!" 

Materials I used:

• paper from Paper Studio;
• ribbon from RibbonFX;
• stamp from Say it with Stamps!

I followed a pretty classic look. 

Wouldn't be awesome if one day, someone stumbled upon my blog and exclaimed: "I got this card!" ?? :-)

Sweet Baby!

I enjoyed making baby cards these past two weeks! One of the girls I worked with had baby girl and one of my best friends is going to have a baby boy next week sometimes, if the calculations are right. 

This time I tried some asymmetrical cards, as far as the outside goes and I really like how they turned out! :-) 

Sweet Baby! Card ~ 5 1/2 x 4 1/4

• Card stock from Core'dinations ~ Nostalgia Collection;
  
• Paper from Paper Studio (Baby Pink Paisley/ Blue Paisley; Baby Pink Diamond; Baby Blue Stripes);
  
• Stamps from Stampabilities ("Buggy Boogie") and Say it with Stamps ("Congratulations!");
• Blue and Pink Paper Clips from Office Depot;
• Two pearly flowers I saved from a gift bag I received;
  
• Black / Burgundy Double Satin / Pink Double Satin Ribbon from RibbonFX;
  
• Round Scalloped Punch 1 7/8 inch diameter;
  
• Scissors from Paper Studio.
  

I'm always looking for fresh ideas for theme cards, baby ones in this case, and I would appreciate if you would point me to some good ones!  

~ Thanks for stopping by! Come back soon, as I am preparing to post a video about one way to make a gift card holder! ~  

Kristina Werner's Color Inspiration #37

I love Kristina's challenges because they pull me away from my favorite color combinations - that I always end up with when making a card - and stretch my creative nerve. 

"You touched my heart" Card -  51/4 x 51/4 

 

I used  Core'dinations paper for the base of this card, as well as for the hearts accents and the dots. I used paper from the Paper Studio (Serendipity collection) as the background. The white stitched ribbon is from RibbonFX.
