Make It Stand Up

This week's challenge at Craft Your Passion is to make an easel card. If you haven't ever made one, please give it it a try and play along with us. They are very simple to make, and they look so awesome! so, what are you waiting for?!! Come on over to Passion and play in our Easel card challenge for a chance to win some cute digis from CocoDingo and Lauretta's Digital Stamps.

I used the sketch at sketches, for the front of the easel card. The image is by CocoDingo and is colored with Promarkers. I chose earthy tones for the card because I felt like it went well with the image. Who says earth tones can't be girly?!

The papers are all from my stash. I recycled the 3 buttons off an old shirt I threw out. (Gotta love recycling!) The flower is by Prima. I pop dotted the sentiment with foam mounting tape for dimension.

It's A Dragon Wedding!

It's time for a new challenge at Stamping With The Dragon. Whoo Hoo! This time, we want you to make an easel card, with the them of Love or Marriage. Here's my card to provide you with some creative inspiration. Stop by the challenge site to check out the other creative goodness from the Stamping Dragon Design Team, then get to work on your own card so you can play along with us. There is a great prize, this time! You could win an image of your choice from Stamping Dragon Designs, and a set of Promarkers! That's right, a set of Promarkers! Whooo Hoo! How's that for a prize! You know you want to play along with us now, so Come On Over!

For this card, I used the sketch at Creatalicious. This is a brand new image Janette created just for us to use for our DT inspiration this week. It's called "Rupert's Wedding," from Stamping Dragon Designs , and is available now, in their store. The background papers are from my stash, as is the ribbon. I bought these cute heart shaped ribbon sliders at Hobby Lobby just for use on this card. (My first time using ribbon sliders and I love them!)I added some skittles dyed with alcohol inks,for extra dimension and bling. The scalloped heart borders was created with a Martha Stewart PATP punch. The sentiment is from Stampin Up and says, "Heart to Heart, Hand to Hand." It is matted on white cardstock embossed with the dots cuttlebug folder. (Sorry I cant remember the offical name of the folder, right now) The faux stitching was added with a purple marker from Creative Memories. I used a clearstar gelly roll pen to add sparkle to the card, to give it that glitter and glitz look, though its very hard to see in the pic, because of the angle of the card.

Purple is my favorite color and I love how this turned out. It looks much better in person!

This little guy didn't turn out the way I wanted him... I accidentally put the sweet treat cup in upside down and didn't have all the correct punches I needed. This was a rush job since he needs to go in the mail today. He still turned out kinda cute.
