Karen's Craft Creations

I got lucky and had a friend order a dozen cards.  I have been making these and here is one of them. I used Birthday Bash cart and some wonderful citrus colors. This is a super cute card and would be wonderful to give to a child or adult. Thanks for stopping by. I will be entering this card in the following challenges: http://pennyschallenges.blogspot.com/2013/07/welcome-to-pennys-challenge-136.html http://papercreatorscrafts.blogspot.co.uk/2013/07/challenge-11.html http://greatimpressionsstamps.blogspot.com/2013/07/july-challenge-and-june-winners.html http://challenges4everybody.blogspot.co.uk/2013/07/challenge-24-anything-goes.html http://joannasheenchallenge.blogspot.ca/2013/07/citrus-colours_14.html

 Today I am making a card for my best friend on her birthday.  I used a new spellbinder die and some black embossing powder on a stamp I have had for a few years, to get just the right affect.  Some sparkle ribbon and a few prima flowers made it special, just as she is. I think it turned out very nice. Thanks for stopping by.

 Today I am making a card for my niece, she is getting married this summer.  I used the Happily Ever After cart with a little piece of shear ribbon for her veil and some shimmer paper for her dress.  I cut out the center of the front face with a spellbinder die and then added some hand rolled flowers. The flowers are cut from the Flower Shoppe cart. I think it turned out very nice. Thanks for stopping by.

Well I can tell that summer is upon us, Hot and dry Texas.  I have been very busy with swimming and a garden.  But I try and make time to spend in my craft room.  Today I made a beautiful card with a new sizzix flower die.  I start with white paper and then spritz, ink and curled the edges and finished it off with a crystal brad and a little heat embossing… Walla.  Hope you are having a wonderful Wednesday, don’t forget to go to Church this evening.
