CASology #76, CFC124, 10 Min Craft Dash #32

It is time for a new Cue Card at CASology!

What a better party than New Years Eve!

Some gold embossed fireworks and some die cut numbers brought this one in at 9 minutes 26 seconds.  I lost a lot of time lining the numbers up--LOL. I am also submitting this to  CFC124 and to the 10 Minute Craft Dash #32.

Head on over to CASology today to learn what the 'cue card' means to you, how you can play along and see the all the cards created by the Design Team to inspire you.

10 Minute Craft Dash #18

I haven`t done the 10 Minute Craft Dash in a long time.  Week after week I save the colour palette and then don`t get to it. I was having trouble getting to sleep tonight so I figured tonight is the night.  I thought I was doing so good until the first butterfly I put on he card didn`t work.  So I die cut another butterfly, found the co-ordinating stamp and did the exchange.  

Coming in at 9:41.7 minutes, here is my card.

All supplies are from Papertrey Ink unless otherwise noted.

Stamps: Pretty Peonies (Plain Jane Smile (Verve)

DD #33 & CFC83 & 10 Minutes Craft Dash #9

Here to share a card for this week's Dynamic Duos challenge.

This week we were to create a card using these colours:

Now for the dessert option of music think of the music of firecrackers and the music of
Auld Lang Syne at the stroke of midnight on January 1, 2013.

If you had a chance to read this years Holiday Cards & More you may have seen a card created 

by JJ Bolton that used the dandelion head from Papertrey Ink's Botanical Silhouettes as fireworks!  What a brilliant idea, that I used for my card today but embossed with gold embossing power.

I am also adding this card to CAS-ual Fridays Dashing Through the Holidays Challenge and the 10 Minute Craft Dash completing my embossed card in 9 minutes 55 seconds--Whew!
Which kind of goes along with my dash to post at Dynamic Duos with 7 minutes to spare.

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

colourQ #167 & 10 Minute Craft Dash #8

Happy Tuesday and that means time for another challenge at the colourQ!

The countdown is on for the holidays and this week's palette has a perfect blend of colours for the winter season.

I put together a card design that was quick and easy and one I could use to participate my first ever 10 Minute Craft Dash.  I wasn't sure if I could do it (because I am typically really slow), but I did it in 8 minutes and 21 seconds!

Super easy design.  I gathered my supplies ahead of time, cardstock, dies, stamp, ink, Impression Plate and twine and sketch.  This was the perfect opportunity for me to use my new Spellbinders ornament dies and my absolute favourite holiday sentiment. The background was embossed with Papertrey's Stripe Impression Plate after I stamped my sentiment.  I notched a 1/2" down from the top on each side of the card to string the line my ornaments will hang from. Tied the twine and taped down the ornament--Done!

We hope that you come a play with us this week at the colourQ and while you are there make sure to visit the blogs of the rest of the Design Team to see their fabulous creations.
