Wrapped in Red, Green and White

I made thee card I am sharing today for a couple of challenges.
I used the colors Red, Green, and White for JUGS Color Challenge.
I included a sentiment and followed the Gift Wrapped theme for the Outlawz Greeting Challenge.

I love the Color Kids images from Paper Makeup Stamps. They are just so cute. Isn't this little girl wrapping presents so adorable. The name of the stamp is Gift Wrapped. I used the digital version, but you can also purchase her as a rubber stamp. It is hard to tell in the photo, but I used a Sakura glitter pen on the barrettes, shoes and tie on her shirt and the heart in the sentiment.

Vintage Box of Cards

Over at StampTV.com Sharri's Blast From the Past challenge for this week is to make a box of cards.  I decorated a plastic card box using a large doily stamp from Nana's Needlework.  I blinged it up with some adhesive back half pearls, a large pink button and a white flower I sponged with yellow ink. 

I made four cards to put in the box.  I used the sketch from "Just Us Girls" challenge this week. I chose some vintage colors to use on the cards, Lemon Drop, Innocent Pink, and Turquoise Sea along with Black Onyx and White as my neutrals.  All from the Pure Luxury line at Gina K Designs.  I can't say how much I love this card stock. It is so thick and sturdy. And she released a new color that I think is my favorite, Turquoise Sea. :o)  Four the main focal images of all the cards, I stamped the image on white card stock and created a mask of the same image with a post-it note.  I masked the image and sponged around it with either Barely Banana or Pink Pirouette ink.  I liked the look of the sewing machine left white and just added a hint of color on some of the pieces of the machine with Copic markers.  I decided to color the dress on the woman to match the Turquoise Sea card stock but made it a few shades lighter.  All stamps are from the new set, Sew Pretty except the "Happy Birthday" is from Nana's Needlework Sentiments.  I kept the cards fairly simple to fit in the box and did not use any ribbon, gasp! "Sew", here are the four cards:

JUGs Challenge #2

There's a new challenge in town over at Just Us Girls blog (JUGs for short).  LOL!!  Today is the last day to complete Challenge #2.  The challenge is to use paper piecing on a project and optionally use pink.  Here is what I created:

My sister bought some paper crafting supplies for me at a flea market a few weeks ago.  There was a ton of stuff in a bag and she only paid two dollars.  Wow!  One of the items in the bag was a cool paper pad from Prima Marketing Inc.  The collection is called Rock On Love.  I used several patterns from the pad for my card.  Everything on this cute little Anya is paper pieced except her hair and skin.  Thanks for allowing me to share this fun girly card.
