Try That Thursday - CuttleQuilts

Beth and I chose the "CuttleQuilt" technique from the Emboss and die cd that was recently released from Technique Junkies.  All of my paper is from various Club Scrap kits and after I ran them through various embossing folders and cut to the right sizes, I then stitched with my machine.

Be sure to check Beth's blog and take note that we have decided to take a break from this weekly challenge for the summer,  I hope to do some other projects, more cards and hubby and I are taking a 2 week cycle trip to Knoxville, TN.  I will be posting during the summer and hop you come back to visit once in a while :)

Try that Thursday - Cute Cuts

Welcome back to Try that Technique Thursday challenge from Beth Norman and I.  This week is the "Cute Cuts" from 10/10 newsletter from Technique Junkies.

I thought the little cupcake embossing folder from Cuttlebug was so cute that I decided to make 4 cards - same embossing folders - just different colors.  Make a fun birthday card :)  All of the paper is from my Club Scrap Stash - ribbons from stash.

Thanks for joining in the fun.  Check out Beth's blog for how to take part and get your card featured on the Yahoo group homepage.

Cards using a Bubble Wrap background technique

I'm still playing around with the Paper Artist Online group challenges for National Scrapbooking Day.  I had seen this done and decided to play - I just just dripped some different alcohol inks onto the bubblewrap and then placed the black cardstock ontop and made sure it picked up the inks.  After it dried, I used an old stiff toothbrush and flicked some white paint onto the paper.  All the papers and embellishments are from Club Scrap.  I hope you enjoy.

See you next time around - and I hope everyone has had a great Mother's Day - I did receive phone calls from All 3 of my daughters :)

National Scrapbooking Week

I've been working on some cards for National Scrapbooking Week......there are some fun challenges over at "PaperArtistOnline" forum  you can check that out here.  You're welcome to join in on the fun.

The first card I did doesn't really qualify for any of the challenges.....I just found a background I had made sometime in the past and found this old car image that I must have rec'd in an image swap of some kind.  Thought it would make a great "masculine" birthday card.

This 2nd card is part of the "mix it up" challenge.  I used a Designer Tiles Tutorial from the Sept 08 newsletter from Technique Junkies - got out my sewing machine, that I haven't used in 6 years, made a flower with a spellbinder die and topped it off with a button and waxed linen thread. 

I hope you enjoy and would love to have you share with us at "Paper Artist Online"

Thanks
Diana

Challenge on "SquirrelyArt" Blog

Nancy Young of "SquirrelyArt" Blogspot has been doing a little challenge to some of her friends for a while.....I decided to join in.........

This week she chose to challenge us to use the PinWheel Tech from the August 2010 newsletter from Technique Junkies. 

This is my card for this week's challenge.  I used all papers, etc from the Adobe Kit from Club Scrap. 
Hope you enjoy - and don't forget to check out Nancy's card and follow the links to others in the group that are participating in her challenges.

I did have fun doing this as this Pinwheel tech is fun to do.......this will be a "general purpose" card with a place for someone to write a message on the inside.

Try That Thursday -White on White

I've always heard that it's better late then never - so here is my card for the "White on white" Try that Challenge Thursday that Beth Norman and I have been doing.

I just used some white cardstock from my stash.....ran a small piece through my cuttlebu, stamped and embossed the butterflies, cut them and attached.  The greeting stamp and butterfly stamp is from Firecracker Designs.

thanks for looking
