Baby Boy Onesie Card

Well my pizza box from Club Scrap still hasn't arrived.  But I do have a new card to show.  This is for a baby shower for my nephew and girlfriend this Saturday.

I cut out the onesie design with my Cricut.  Using my Club Scrap Dungaree's digital kit ( May 2014), I printed the overalls stamp on top of the rust colored paper and trimmed it down to fit the onesie pattern.  I stamped a pocket and cut it out and cut out the straps to fit over the pocket for a three dimensional look.  I highlighted the stitching on the overalls with a marker and used copper embossing on the buttons and the sentiment.

Happy Crafting!

Cards in Envy Tickled Pink

Hope you all had a fabulous Valentine's Day!  The new challenge at Cards in Envy is "Tickled Pink."  Use mostly pink on your card.  I got a little carried away with the pink!

CraftyColonel Donna Nuce for Cards in Envy Tickled Pink, Hero Arts stamp, StampingUp Perfectly Artistic DP, Blushing Bride, General Card

I love the beautiful swirl design on the Stampin'Up! Perfectly Artistic paper, it reminded me of clouds.  Balloon stamp is an old one from Hero Arts for OWH.  I paper pieced it over some Prima DP.  The Memory Box cloud dies have Wink of Stella on them.  The sentiment is by My Creative Time.  

Check out what the other members of the design team did on the Cards in Envy blog.  Then link up your pink creation with us!

Cards in Envy From the Heart

It's time for a new challenge on the Cards in Envy blog. This time we want to see your love cards.  They don't have to be Valentine's cards either.  Take mine for example:

I used my Club Scrap Constellation kit for a timeless card that could be used for many occasions.  The only rule at Cards in Envy is that cards must fit in a standard A2 (4.25 x 5.5 inch) envelope and not to thick so standard postage applies.  Come visit the Cards in Envy blog to see what the rest of the design team came up with and link your love card up with us.

Happy Crafting!

Club Scrap Celebration Blog Hop

Welcome to the Club Scrap Celebration Blog Hop.  Congratulations to Club Scrap for their 200th Monthly Collection!  Now you can blog hop by clicking on the links on the Club Scrap blog.  .

I always start out the month with my Club Scrap digital kit.  


Here's a scrapbook page I made with some of the fabulous items in the digital kit.

This kit has some amazing overlays to play with.  (The orange and blue remind me of Bronco colors!)  Go Broncos!  

When my Club Stamp kit arrived after the 20th of the month, I dug into the box and made this card which is a slight variation on one of the Assembly Line Cards.  I love the silver glitter paper in the Club Stamp Kit!  I used Club Scrap Metallic Silver ink on the black paper.  I used one of the Greetings Sentiments and the Swirls stamp are from the Art Nouveau Stamp.

Cards In Envy White on White

It's time for another challenge on the Cards in Envy Blog.  This time we are asking for cards that can be any theme as long as they are  mostly white.  Your card must be A2 size (4.25 x 5.5 inches) AND flat enough to fit in an envy for mailing.  Here's what I came up with.

The flower and leaves are from the new Stampin'Up! Botanical Builder Framelits.   The birthday sentiment is from the new SU Rose Wonder stamp set.  I used shimmer cardstock and a Cuttlebug Tropical Bloom EF for the background.

Hop on over to the Cards in Envy blog to see what the other Design Team members came up with.  Then link up with your White on White cards!

Happy Crafting!

I am adding this to the Outlawz Challenge "Twisted Thursday" anything goes with a twist (no twist).

Cards in Envy Shiny New Year's Challenge

It's time for another challenge on the Cards in Envy blog.  This two weeks we are asking for New Year's Cards or Cards that have sparkle and/or shine.  I recently received a Heidi Swapp Minc Mini (a machine that will put shiny foil on any laser printed image).  I found this New Year's sentiment on Pinterest and proceeded to play with my Minc.  I am pleased with the results and love the fact that any digital sentiment I have can be made to look so pretty!

I added some SU Gold foiled vellum and a gold shiny ribbon to finish off the card.  Come join us on the Cards in Envy blog to see what the rest of the design team has done and then link up your cards!

Happy Crafting!

Club Scrap Navigation Blog Hop

Welcome to the Club Scrap Navigation Blog Hop.  If you came here from Debby Hernandez's blog you are in the right place.  If you would like to start at the beginning of the blog hop go HERE to the Club Scrap blog to start.

I get my Club Scrap Digital Kit at the beginning of the month.


This is a great travel kit and very "ocean or seaside" looking so I created two pages of a short day trip I made to Tybee Island Georgia while I was attending a conference in Savannah.

I used the Quick Drop Digital Pages and my Panstoria Artisan 5 Software to create the pages.  With the Digital Member monthly subscription kit you get both Quick Drop pages, Photoshop Element Pages and all the digital paper and embellishments.

I waited patiently for my Club Stamp Kit to arrive.  It ships on the 20th of each month.  I also get the Art Nouveau Stamp, Greetings Stamp, Borders and Backgrounds Stamp and the Embellishment Kit shipped with the Club Stamp kit.  I decided I wanted to do the ACLM cards this month.  As I was stamping the gorgeous lantern image, I realized it would make a great sympathy card.  The sentiments I used are not from Club Scrap but the Bible verse is perfect for the Club Stamp image.

Now hop on over to Deb Charlesworth's blog.  If you want to start at the beginning of the blog hop go to the Club Scrap Blog to start.

Crafty Colonel Donna Nuce for Cards in Envy blog, Lawn Fawn Winter Bunny, Stampin Up Sleigh Ride and Jingle all the Way, Winter Card

I used shimmer cardstock for the sky and snow.  The background was cut with Stampin'Up Sleigh Ride die.  The bunny is Lawn Fawn Winter Bunny.  The sentiment is from Stampin'Up Jingle All the Way.
