Flower Pop Punch

This card uses the ED019 plate "Garden Of Friends"
by  Elemental Doodles images together with a pop up floral punch by Martha Stewart.
I punched the flower several times on different colored paper and "meshed" them together so you can see all the colors when you are looking at the card itself.  Sorry but my scanner didn't allow the under layers to show well.  I must figure out how to use my digital camera on this type in the future.
Just take my word for it, the flower is gorgeous!
I added small pearls to the punched center for more bling.  This has got to be my favorite set of Elemental Doodles images to date!  There is so much that can be done with this set.

Merry Christmas! aka December Challenge

My entry for the DT December Challenge was a Christmas ornament made from a CD.
I began by trimming 2 circles same size as a CD.  I glued one side onto the CD after stamping and coloring the images (all from Elemental Doodles plate ED008 "Mystic Fairy").
Then I cut small 2" pcs of ribbon and folded each in half with a twist and glued them together.  When dried I attached them with glue lines to the CD around the edge.  
I stamped the other paper and glued it on the CD after adding a larger ribbon for a hanger.
Below is the opposite side:

I added some sticker words to finish it off and hung it on my Christmas tree!

Simple Notes

I just sort of stamped images from Plate #017 here and there until I liked it.  Then I began masking some and sponged inks.  Stuck some notes in a slit in the envelope and there you have it.
A super-simple card that can be designated for several different reasons.  
Here is wishing everyone a very happy Thanksgiving!!

ED006-Coffee Cafe "Framed Coffee"

This image by Elemental Doodles is set off perfectly by the glitzy frame isn't it?

I layered a burgundy panel over the grey base and another grey panel run thru the Cuttlebug "Swiss Dots" folder over that.  I stamped the image in burgundy ink onto a scrap of white and trimmed to fit the frame then tied small tags stamped with words from the same ED plate onto the frame before adhering it all on the card.

It's hard to see in my scan, but the frame has gorgeous burgundy jewels scattered around.

ED006-Coffee Cafe

You can almost smell the coffee aroma from this card!!  Actually you can since I used a coffee scented ink....
Supplies:
Elemental Doodles  Plate 006 "Coffee Cafe"
Papers by DCWV "Safari Chic" matstack
Brown and black cardstock from my stash
Diecut shapes by Nestabilities
Brown dye inkpad by Ranger "Vintage Java Fizz"
Black Memories dye ink

I cut and layered the designer papers onto a black base card leaving slight borders. I stamped the small cup on one paper and the "wake up" verse on another.   A diecut Nestie stamped with "Java" was layered on top.  Simple and quick, just my style!
