Blog Candy!

Wednesday, October 31, 2012

Today is the sketch challenge at the Paper Craft Crew Challenges Blog.

Here is the sketch for this week:

Here is my take on the sketch:

The JOY is from the Joyous Celebrations stamp set #128066 $22.95 or #128069 $15.95. To create the little banner I just inked each letter individually and then punched it out using the Petite Pennants Builder Punch #122361 $16.95. I punched a hole using 1/16″ hole punch and then ran my Whisper White Baker’s Twine thru the holes making the banner.

The Silver Glimmer snowflake is made using the Snow Flurry Bigz Die #127813 $21.95 and the Big Shot. The center is a little button from the Vintage Faceted Designer Buttons #127555 $5.95 with a jewel in the center.

The colors are baja breeze, whisper white and the DSP is from the Snow Festival pack #126908 $10.95.

The bow is the Whisper White Organza Ribbon #114319 $5.95. I used the Double “D” Bow Maker to create my bow.

Here is a close up of the snowflake and the bow:

    Gorgeous card – I’m loving the new snowflake die! Great idea to stamp the ‘joy’ letters seperately; I’ll have to remember that one.
    The blog hop is terrific; everyone’s creations are so beautiful.

  10. Nancy Seed says:

    Love this Glenda. Love the snowflake die. Just joined the PCC site as well to take part in the challenges.

  11. Andrea S. says:

    I have the hardest time trying to make a bow turn out right! I have gone back to your video on how to do it a couple of times and mine just still don’t turn out. I know something that would make it a whole lot easier 😉

  12. Debby says:

    Wow, love yours and the colors you used. I don’t have the MDS so would also have to do it like you did.

    I am loving the colors and the sparkle to your cards. I keep meaning to order some of those vintage buttons but keep forgetting! Thanks for the reminder!

  15. Sandi Dailey says:

    Oh my gosh, love what you did with this layout!! I’ve been looking for some ideas to use my snowflake die with and this is just what I was looking for — something different!! And you have no idea how much I would love to win the bow maker — if anybody needed help making bows, it would be me!!

    Oh, the “Joy” your beautiful card would bring to anyone lucky enough to receive it. Love the sparkly snowflake and your beautiful bow. Hoping I’m the lucky winner of your Double “D” bow maker so I can learn how to mimic your bows. Thanks for the blog candy offer!
