What Time is It? Party time of course!

I need a birthday card for this coming weekend and thought I'd combine my need with  The Friday Mashup challenge making a card using an image of a  clock, time piece, or black card stock or all of the above.

 Here is my card:

The stamped clock was heat embossed. I then individually (yes, one at a time) added the Roman Numerals (I was worried after all the prep work that I'd put the wrong #'s in the wrong place, so I used an existing clock  for the 9, 10, and 11 numbers).  I know, I know, I too learned the #'s in school, but that was a long time ago and I seldom  have occasion to use Roman Numerals.  The numerals were also heat embossed to give added shine. 
I purposely placed the clock face off center to add some interest plus my supply of very vanilla card stock is zilch at this time, so I had to use scraps and yes it is Very Vanilla not white as it appears in the photo (what's that all about)?

The die cut hands of the clock were cut on white card stock and then I literally dragged a black ink pad back and forth to color them.  I added a glitzy brad to the center to hold the hands and to match the color sentiment at the bottom of the card.  It must be 5 o'clock somewhere and you know that means "party time"!


Here I was trying to show the heat embossing, I guess you can see some of it.

Thanks for taking the time to leave a comment, it makes my day!

PTI's Year of the Flowers

Here's another card celebrating the 6 year anniversary of Papertrey Ink.  The challenge was to use one of the flower stamp sets from the Year of the Flowers series.  Since I only have two of the sets from the series one being the Christmas poincettia, I opted to use the other one Year of Flowers: Mums.

I used a dark gray card stock, dry embossed with a tulip edge and heat embossed the flower using versamark ink and white EP.  I added a little "glitz" in the center of each for a little pizzaz (although it's almost impossible to see in the photo)!  An angled rectangle label die and a little sentiment finishes off the card.

Thanks for visiting today and be sure to leave me a message, I'd love to hear from you.

PTI's 6th Anniversary Challenge

Here is my card using one of the free downloads from Papertrey Ink, celebrating their 6th successful year in business!  Congratulations to PTI and thank you for all the opportunities for free gifts,  Who wouldn't love to win one of them?

Hope you like it.

Valentine Card

Wow, it's been too long since I've posted to my blog (gosh, what happened to my New Year's resolution, to post more often)?
Well here is a Valentine card I made and thought I'd share it with you.  Unfortunately the photo shows the separation of the "tail" of the party cracker, which isn't visible in real life, must be the angle the photo was taken from, but you get the idea, right?

I'd love to hear your comments on this card.

Supplies: All Papertrey Ink, except the polka dot paper (SU)

Get well card

This is my second post for today, seems I forgot to post this card I made a while back.  I CASE'd it from Papertrey Ink.  I needed a get-well card for a friend up North and thought this might make her feel a bit better.

Oops seems like I cut off the top of the card and already mailed it so I can't redo the photo, but I'm sure you get the idea.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY

Here's another quick masculine birthday card I made for a friend.  Stamped a "happy birthday" sentiment repeatedly as my background.  The die cut label was heat embossed for a little bit of shine which of course is always difficult to photograph

Here's the card, would love to hear from you with your comments.

Thank you!

Here's a picture of a card I made for a friend who gifted us with a 6 month supply of coffee from Hawaii, such a generous, kind friend we think of him each morning (hee-hee).

I thought he'd appreciate a thank you card with this theme as he is a business man (plus it's difficult to create "man" cards, I think).  I used a tip from my daughter Nance Lempinen Leedy of Canopy Crafts who made this card sometime ago and actually cut a slit, inserted the smaller paper with the stamped sentiment, I thought this was so cute.  I inserted a blank white panel inside so I could hand write a note of thanks.

Supplies used:
All Stampin' Up, oops except the banner which is a wine tag die from Papertrey Ink.

Feel free to leave me a comment regarding this card, I'd love to hear from you and  I'd like to wish all my blogging friends a
HAPPY NEW YEAR!
