CCE September - Christmas Wreath Tags

For September's CCE theme, we get to choose our theme. I am going with tags. Here is the first one of two I will create for all the ladies in my group.

I used glossy accents on the berries to make them shiny, you can't really tell by the picture, but they are all shiny and nice :)

CCE Exchange - August 2014

For this month's card exchange our theme is 'Feel Better' 

I could be a sympathy, encouragement, or get well.

I decided on a get well soon theme. 

Since I've been having so much fun with these Hello Kitties, I thought I'd make the little doctor too!

Recipe:

Jaded Blossom - Journal Die, Mini Tag Dies, Simple Sayings 2

Thanksgiving theme - Oct 2013 CCE

For October's theme I was either to send a Thanksgiving theme, or Halloween. 

I did a Halloween theme for Sept's exchange, so I thought Thanksgiving would be better!

At my stamp club in September we did a triple stamping technique, which I have done before, but not with my Jaded Blossom Pumpkin ;) 

Here is my card...

Jaded Blossom - Thanksgiving Wishes & Thanksgiving poop

CCE July 2013

Holy moly - I can't believe it's been like 6 weeks since I've posted... I have been so busy with so many things. My mom turns 60 this summer & I along with help from my siblings am throwing a surprise party. I have done a fair bit of crafting for it - including invitations that will hit the mail this week!! 

Enough rambling - let's get to today's card - the theme for July is any card with an animal. When I looked at all my different stamps, I didn't find any dog type sentiments, which is what I wanted to make... Instead I looked though my SVG files & found a butterfly from Miss Kate's Cuttables & knew that would be my feature... I know it's not really an animal at all, but I love how my card turned out!

                      

Recipe:

Butterfly - Miss Kate's Cuttables

Sentiment - Butterfly Kisses PBD

Die - My Creative Time

Face - Peachy Keen

Glossy Accents

Stickles

Paper - from stash

CCE - April card

Our theme this month is Mother's day or Birthday....

I chose Birthday.... I found this super cute cut in the Sil store & knew it was what it was going to be on my cards.

Birthday Lace - Sil Store

Shimmer paper - DCWV

Card base - AC cardstock

Sentiment - PBD - 29 & Holding

CCE Swap Jan 2013

I was so excited when I came across a card swap group on Facebook! Every month there is a different theme & some months will take me outside of my comfort zone with different types of cards, or altered projects. I'm so excited! All of the ladies & 1 gentleman who are part of this little group so far are super fabulous!!! 

January's project was a card - it could be either for Valentine's day, a wedding or an anniversary card.

My first attempt didn't work out at all the way I planned, so I scrapped the idea & started off fresh. Here's what I came up with :

Recipe:

Papers used : 

Base - Sahara Sands SU

DCWV shimmer stack

Doodlebug sweet caks 6x6 pad

I cut out the frame using my new cameo I got for Christmas - yep I'm spoiled ;) 

I paper pierced around the edge of the card

Found some flowers in my stash & attached them with a shimmering brad

Pearls are from SU

I really like the way it turned out! I didn't use a sentiment, I thought it was a versatile card , the ladies in my group could use it for what occasion they want to!

Feel free to follow my blog, or even just leave a comment, I LOVE reading them!!!!

Till next time,
