Another Twilight

Here is card # 2 using the Twilight "stickers" that I purchased from Target on clearance.  They were 50 cents for four of them.  I have made two cards so far which means that I have two more to make!  The card stock and stamps are from Stampin' Up.  Calypso Coral and the Calendar Alphabet set.  The dies are Mix'd Media and Floral Ovals from Spellbinders.  The background paper is the other side of a piece of Graphic 45 paper from the Once Upon a Springtime stack. - Heidi

Something for everyone

Finals are next week so I will put something up before I hibernate.  The above card is made with book stickers that I found on clearance at Target.  There were four in a pack for $0.50 - what a deal.  It is mounted on Calypso Coral using romantic rectangle.  The card base is basic grey.  The tag is Spellbinders and the sentiment is from Stampin Up.  If there were four total that means I need to come up with three more Twilight cards so stay tuned!

Below is a mistake I made using the stencil from Stampin Up that I believe is no longer available.  It schmeared and was just awful, but I turned it around and made this card.  the banner is from Spellbinder.

Below is a card I made for Ralph who took time out of his day to come and help me put a fan in the bathroom ceiling.  What a mess!  He runs his own business and Ernesto carves with him when he can.  I had to say thank you the best way I know how - with a special and one-of-a-kind thank you card!  I just love Totally Tools and I'll never get rid of it!  Not particularly fond of the sayings in the set, but I love the tools! - Heidi

Twilight delight!

I have been trying to be good! I have been staying out of Jo-Ann's, Michael's and Hobby Lobby (except the Ariel stamp - see previous entry). I have been keeping away from places online as well in order to curb my spending. Then I spot a pack of Twilight stickers at the end of an aisle at the grocery store! NOT FAIR! In my defense it was only $3.00 for two sheets of stickers! Who could resist & who could resist making a card from them. Trust me there will be more to come. The colors are Cherry Cobbler and Silver. The rose is from Stampin' Up with some silver acrylic paint added on to it. - Heidi

Immortal Love Forever!

I'd like to say that I am not addicted to making these Immortal Love cards, but I guess that I am! The above card uses the chipboard embellishments (chess pieces) and the 4 1/2" X 6 1/2" mat stack of Immortal Love by DCWV. The sentiment was computer generated and run through my Cuttlebug with a Spellbinder die.

On the above card the corners and the heart on the right are also chipboard embellishments and the paper from Immortal Love. Simple and easy on the eyes. I hope to post some Cricut cards I made before I go back to school in two weeks. Have a great night - Heidi

Even more Immortal Love cards

I am addicted to making cards with the 4 1/2" X 6 1/2" mat stack of paper from DCWV called "Immortal Love." They are papers inspired by the vampire trend, but I believe that it is more Twilight inspired - truly. Each card uses a sheet from the mat stack. The above card is made with black and Lemon Tart (from Papertrey Ink) cardstocks. Some bright yellow ribbon, some Hero Arts rhinestones and an Immortal Love chipboard embellishment finish off this meadow card. Edward did "sparkle" when he and Bella were laying in the sunshine of the meadow.

The tree and moon card is Basic Black and Basic Grey cardstock from Stampin' Up. The chipboard moon is also an Immortal Love embellishment. The stamp is from Word Play by Stampin' Up. The rhinestones are also from Stampin' Up. The tree sparkles and is part of the paper. I amlost put silver cording across it, but I wanted to keep it simple.

I think this last card is my favorite! The paper is awesome all by itself and the chipboard embellishments (trees and moon) make it pop even more. The cardstocks are Basic Black (Stampin' Up) and Ocean Tides from Papertrey Ink. Ocean Tides is really close to Sage Shadow and I think either would've done a good job pulling color from the paper. I printed the sentiment out on Ocean Tides cardstock with my computer. Then I ran it through my Cuttlebug with a Spellbinder die - it turned out fantastic, if I may say so! The ribbon is Ocean Tides twill - also from Papertrey Ink. Satin ribbon would've been more elegant, but I don't have any (boo hoo). I thought of putting the sentiment "go jump off a cliff," but I think this is better. Insert evil laugh here. Have a good night - Heidi

Immortal Love & Twilight inspired cards

I must have had my head in the sand because I didn't know that DCWV was coming out with a new stack called "Immortal Love." It is based on the vampire trend and is not an official Twilight product, but it certainly could be. I bought mine on Sunday at Joann's and they are already out of the 4 1/2 X 6 1/2 mat stack two days later! I didn't buy the big 12 X 12 stack or matching album because I am not doing any scrapbooking with it - just cards.

**All cards features a piece of paper from the mat stack and are 5 X 7 in size**

The blue rose card has glitter (sparkle) already on the paper. The piece is matted with Baja Breeze from Stampin' Up and Smokey Shadow from Papertrey Ink. The saying is from Occassional Quotes by Stampin' Up. The envelope has the rose from Fifth Avenue Floral and the swirls from Baroque Motifs stamped on it. I had some fuzzy velvet ribbon that matched nicely, but the new Baja Breeze seam binding would've looked just as nice (if I had any at this time!).

This card has a triple row of bling that was in the ribbon aisle at Joann's. It is supposed to be ironed onto whatever you are sewing, but I glued it onto my card. I guess it could be a belt or hat embellishment and is sold by the yard at JoAnn's. I used Real Red as the card base, but now I am thinking that Poppy Parade would've been better as it is more red-orange in color. The LOVE is a die from Cuttlebug. The chipboard rose is in the Immortal Love chipboard box with all kinds of cool letters and objects. I made my own black leaves and blinged out the scalloped circle behind the rose. There is a matching envelope (there is also an Immortal Love cardstock stack) made from matching cardtsock and stamped with the rose from Fifth Avenue Floral.

Last, but certainly not least, we have a Team Jacob card. Me, I am Team Edward all the way, but I am also a creative fool! The base of this card is Bravo Burgundy and Crumb Cake. The piece of paper is killer and my picture doesn't really do it justice. I stenciled in the Team Jacob and punched it out and doodled in a border. Neat, clean and nice. I was trying to think of a different way to make this card a stunner, but I am at a loss right now.

Hope you enjoyed my Twilight-esque cards. It's snowing here and I might go hide in the basement a little longer. - Heidi
