Stamp Something Fridays, Charisma Cardz and Cute Card Thursday Challenges

I am loving this new technique! Again, you can find a great tutorial on Valita's blog.

I am entering my card in Stamp Something Fridays Challenge and Charisma Cardz. Both challenges are based on "Love". I am also entering my card in Cute Card Thursdays where the theme is Spots and Dots! I have made this card to give to my daughter next weekend. Thanks for looking!

Charisma Cardz Challenge~Get well card for my Niece

Here's a fun card that I made for little niece, Emmie. She had open heart surgery last week. She is doing well.
The Charisma Cardz Challenge is to use something new. Well my balloon punch is new and this is the first time that I have used it! I hope that qualifies.
The idea and tutorial for the card can be found here: Valita's Fresh Folds

This is such a fun card. I'm going to make more! And perhaps use flowers or hearts.

Have a good day!

Three Challenges: Charisma Cardz #23 and CPS 120 and Simon Says

Here's a birthday card I'm going to give to a little 7year old girl today. The challenge for Charisma Cardz is "Diamonds are a girls best friend" which is very fun for me, because I love sparkles. The card has lots of Frosted Lace Stickles accents and the cuttlebugged piece is actually on shiny silver paper, which may be hard to tell on the pic. I also used a sparkly black Sakura Jelly roll pen to go over the cupcake stamp and sentiment. The sketch is based on thechallenge for CPS, found here: http://cardpositioningsystems.blogspot.com/2009/06/cps-120-sponsored-by-2redbananas.html
The challenge on Simon Says is Birthdays, so this works well! http://simonsaysstampschallenge.blogspot.com/2009/06/happy-birthday-simon-says-stamp.html

The stamps are from Hero Arts birthday frame pack. I used Martha Stewart border punch for the pink strips. I cut the cupcake stamp out to make it 3D.

Thanks for looking, have a blessed day!

Charisma Cardz Challenge #7 and Sparkle Creations Christmas Card Challenge #12

Hi. Today I made a card for the Charisma Challenge (Hugs and Cuddles) and I used the sketch from the Sparkle Christmas challenge. It feels good to get some Christmas cards done ahead of time. This was a great sketch, I just flipped it to accomodate the image.
