Hi crafting friends
Today it is challenge day with my friends on the CCEE Stampers challenge blog. Lynn is our hostess for the month.
In the United States, today is National Bring Your Bible to School Day. For that reason, our challenge for this week is quite simple: use a Bible scripture as the sentiment on the front of your card design.
I didn't have many religious stamp sets for this challenge but I picked up this set from a craft sale. I die cut the rose 3 times with different colours and I then used the inlay technique for the flower.
My card today is for the challenge on CCEE Stampers blog, where hostess Frances asks us to try a technique.
A few months ago, Jennifer McGuire shared a technique using embossing folders. Let’s give it a try. You can find Jennifer's tutorial here.
I have used copper foil card stock for the base card and Couture creations - Drifting Endless embossing folder. I added distress inks to highlight the areas after sanding. I then used the same inks to colour a piece of card before die cutting the sentiment. I die cut a circle panel using Sunny Studios - fancy frames and the inlaid them together to create the background for the sentiment. I the added an extra sentiment from Mama Elephant - cherry blossom branch stamp set.
Hi Crafty Friends,
Happy St Patrick's Day.
Today on the CCEE Stampers blog the design team is celebrating St Patrick's Day with this weeks challenge.

Hi everyone,
It's a brand new month on the CCEE Stampers blog. Which means our new challenge hostess for the month is Frances
Just like Slimline & Mini Slimline cards, the 5 x 7 inch card size is becoming more and more popular. For this week’s challenge create a 5 x 7 inch card.
I haven't really thought about making 5 x7 cards before, but they are an ideal size for showing off designer paper backgrounds.
I like this bright designer paper is super paper for a spring card, so I added some die cut butterflies for the theme and a die cut sentiment for a fun card.
I have used the Lawn Fawn stitched quilted background die with some designer paper as the background. I added the faux stitched circle and added the embroidery thread under the circle, I then added the die cut butterfly and the die cut sentiment pieces.
Good Morning Crafting Friends.
I thought I would share the card I made for my daughter's birthday.
I recently picked up this Sizzix die set on sale and I liked the idea of the thin frames to showcase the sentiment verse that came out of a designer paper pack. I made the flowers and leaves with some coordinating card stock and papers.
This month on CCEE Stampers part of the design team are celebrating Thanksgiving, so we are making Thankful cards.

September is also Classical Music Month. Create a card with a musical theme. It doesn’t have to be classical music. It could be Jazz, Country, Rock ‘n Roll – anything musical, even a musical instrument.
I have created my scene with dies and the little music critters.
