A Sassy Elizabeth Bennett

Pride and Prejudice is one of my all time favorite movies.  When I received this image of Elizabeth Bennett from Sassy Studios I knew that I wanted to do right by her with a pretty card. 


I went for pink, flowery and pearls!

Holiday Cheer at Love to Create

The theme this week at Love to Create is Holiday Cheer.  Our sponsor is Bugaboo and I made a fun card with a twist.  The image is a snowglobe so I thought I would make the card using a an Impression Obsession Shake It pouch.

I layered my designer paper on the outside of the card and then cut the circle using a large Spellbinder circle die. Next I cut my image to the right size that overlaps the circle cut in the card stock.  After a little coloring I sprinkled a very small amount of FlowerSoft on top of the image (I first tried more but it was too much to move around inside the globe). Then I added the plastic pouch and glued the two together around the edges.  This duo was slipped into the hole on the card and glued in place.  Lastly, I added the inside designer paper.

 To decorate the front I cut a Spellbinder scalloped circle and then cut a circle in the center so that it would fit over the plastic pouch.


Card Recipe:
Image:  Bugaboo Marshmellow Snowmen
Paper: Bazzill and  BasicGrey Aspen Frost
Markers/Inks: Copics
Embellishments: Spellbinders large circle and scalloped cirlce, Really Reasonable Ribbon, Impression Obsession Shake It pouch, FlowerSoft, Stickles

Wise Men Still Seek Him - Even the Snow Type!

Making a holiday card with non-traditional colors is tougher than it seems.  This is what we are trying to do over at Love to Create with MelJens images.

For my card I used Meljens Christmas Star Snowman.  I tried to add ribbons, lace and such but nothing I tried looked right.  So I ended up with something a little different for me - CAS.




I did add a little Stickles to the hat on the rim and the pom-pom.
Card Recipe:

Paper: Bazzill brown, Copics white, My Minds Eye

Embellishments: Spellbinders Fleur de Lis, Stickles

Fall Fun at Love to Create

I really had fun making this card.  I wanted to do something a bit different and so I got out my Spellbinders and "went to town" so to speak!

 This great Eureka Stamps image was great to work with.  It has a little bit of shading already added in the design which made it easy to figure out where the shadows were.  The leaves are all from a new Spellbinders Foliage Two and the sentiment is backed by the new Resplendent Rectangles.

Paper: Bazzill Orange, the green check is a scrap and I think it is Graphic 45
