DESIGNER LABEL WINTER WISHES

Happy Halloween to everybody. I did not pick up a pumpkin I realized yesterday. My husband went to two stores and found NONE. Can't believe it. No Jack-O-Lantern this year. Bummer. We don't get very many kids about 10-15. Isn't that pathetic. Our street is unlit. We just get neighbors on our street.

Well...I played in today's Featured Stamper Challenge on Splitcoaststampers. Congratulations Cheryl aka CherylQuilts. Her gallery is full of inspiration.

I chose this card of hers to case.

My Changes:
Made my card 4 1/4 x 4 1/4
Used dp for bg and embossed snowflakes on it (but can't tell)
Sewed edges
Used brads on corners in place of paper piercing
Popped up my image
Put bow on top of my label

I used the brand new DESIGNER LABEL DIE SET from CLEAR DOLLAR STAMPS as well as the set that goes with it DESIGNER LABEL CHRISTMAS TAGS.

I used the Basic Grey Magnetic Snaps to hold close.

Did you know Clear Dollar Stamps came out with dies this month? They sure did. That is the shapes you see on the front of my card to make the label. I just love these DESIGNER LABEL DIES and the stamp set that works with it DESIGNER LABEL CHRISTMAS TAGS from CLEAR DOLLAR STAMPS.

HAPPY BALLOONS

Did you make cards for World Cardmaking Day? I did not get to make a card yesterday but I did get to play in Technique Tuesday's World Cardmaking Day Challenge #5 today. My awesome friend Kris aka krischir was hostessing this challenge. The challenge was to be inspired by Kris' card HERE. Isn't her card amazing! I could make many cards using this beauty for inspiration. Great job Kris.

I chose to be inspired by the theme and made a birthday card. I used my new digi that I won recently Yay, it is called BALLOONS from SHELLY'S IMAGES.

The sentiment is from HANGING OUT from CLEAR DOLLAR STAMPS.

I wanted my left balloon to hang over the card edge, so I made my width smaller. The base is 3 3/4 x 5 1/2.

I printed out the digi on my white paper. Then printed it out again on another piece of white paper. I then colored and cut out EACH balloon and distressed the edges. I colored just the inside edge of the balloons on the card front. Then stitched the border and colored in the strings. And stamped my sentiment. Then adhered my balloons with pop up dots. Pretty simple. I love this balloon digi.

RECIPE:
Stamps: Balloons digi (Shelly's Images), Hanging Out (Clear Dollar Stamps used sentiment only)
Paper: Cottonball White (Clear Dollar Stamps), Chocolate Chip (Stampin Up)
Ink: Printer, Momento Rich Cocoa (from Clear Dollar Stamps), Bic Mark-It Markers, Tim Holtz Distress Ink Walnut Stain
Accessories: Dimensionals, Needle, DMC floss, Paper Piercer, Mouse Pad, Tim Holtz Blending Tool
Techniques: Distressing, Paper Tole, Digi, Digital
