{World CardMaking Day!}

Happy World Card Making Day to all of you! Today went by so quickly, and I didn't get to spend the amount of time I would have liked in my craftroom, but I was able to get one card finished! For this card I used DSP from BasicGrey, and the Stampin' Up! Owl Punch. Isn't it cute?! I thought it would be perfect for this weeks Cupcake Inspirations challenge as well.  The orange solid dsp was embossed using one of my new Cuttlebug embossing Folders from the "Preserves" collection. I machine stitched around the edges of the layers of card stock, and distressed the edges with SU Soft Suede ink. The ribbon is from Heidi Grace, and buttons by Making Memories.  The sentiment is from the SU Hostess set "Picture Perfect". I hope that you had a fun day of making cards, and as always thank you so much for visiting my blog today!

{So Blue...}

Today's card is a card I made for a handful of challenges. I used the new Stampin' Up set "Aviary", and my new Cuttlebug embossing folder from the "Preserves" collection.  I used two different SU scallop punches, a MM button, and ribbon from the Offray ribbon outlet. I miss that place so much! I made the sentiment using my printer, and MS Word. I used a sketch from the Paper Pal Arts Sketchy Challenge,

The color scheme is from the OCC Color Challenge.

I am also playing along with this weeks Flutterby Wednesday Challenge!

I had fun making this card, and I hope that you will play along with these challenges!
