For my second card I have layered the flowers into Romantic Rectangles Nestabilities® and Fancy Tags Three  Shapeabilities®

My final card has a  flower layered onto Floral Ovals Nestabilities® and Grommet Tags Shapeabilities® All of my bling is from Want2Scrap

Sew What's New?

 

It has been a busy few days for me and I have realised that I have neglected my Blog *head hung in shame!*  Today I am back to share a CAS card - I know hard to believe from me! LOL!

 

 

 

 

The NinaB Design Dream Team is not having a Blog Hop this month due to the business of the season, but each member will be sharing a card during the month of December - the theme is CAS (Clean and Simple) and I have kept to it this month! LOL!  Shhh but don't tell anyone, I actually enjoyed creating a CAS card!

 

 

 

I have stamped the image from the Sew Lovely stamp set designed by NinaB Designs for The Craft's Meow on white card front, using Onyx Black Versafine by Tsukineko and  paper pieced the dress, bow and neck.  I have then run the stamped and paper pieced card front through the Spellbinders Grand Calibur® Machine using the  Flower Fun M-Bossabilities™

 

 

 

 

The divine bling is for Want2Scrap by NinaB Designs - one of my favourite combinations!

CFC #13 A Touch of Colour

Time goes by quickly - especially as we get closer to Christmas - it is time for the next Crafty Friends Challenge - are you ready??!

 

 

 

 

I love the challenges the Design Team are bringing each fortnight but these girls are really making it hard for me lately - all this white and CAS cards - arghhhh! LOL!  I am a layers and 'not so CAS' girl, but just quietly, am enjoying the challenge of making the cards simpler - but shhh - don't tell Beate and the girls! LOL!

 

 

 

 

Charmaine has challenged us to make a white card with a splash of color - shouldn't be too hard - LOL!

  

I have used the adorable Butterfly Kisses image by NinaB Designs for The Craft's Meow.  I have heat embossed her in Tsukineko White Embossing Powder and sponged around the image using a rose coloured ink, to add that little bit of colour.  The image is hand cut and layered onto the Spellbinders Floral Ovals Nestabilities®, a second wing image has been added and popped up of foam tape.  My Die has been cut using the Spellbinders Grand Calibur® Machine.

 

 

 

 

The bottom layer had been embossed using the Spellbinders Mystic M-Bossabilities™ Folder.

White Seam Binding has been used for the double bow and a pink button added, with the addition of a Want2Scrap  Creme pearl.  Want2Scrap Creme pearls have also been added around the Spellbinders Floral Ovals Nestabilities®, and one to the centre of the Dandelion.

 

 

 

 

A quick and easy card and I am happy with all of the white - which is a pleasant surprise to me! LOL!

 

This card is for the following challenges:

Totally Gorjuss - For Someone Special

 Mema's Crafts - Anything goes

Really Reasonable Ribbon - Anything goes plus ribbon

NinaB Designs November Blog Hop

 

***This post will remain at the top until the end of the NinaB Design Blog Hop

Please scroll down for new posts***

Welcome to the monthly NinaB Designs team blog hop. NinaB Designs is a product designer for a few paper crafting companies including Spellbinders, Want2Scrap, Penny Black, and The Craft's Meow. For this month's hop, Nina challenged us to create something with Winter and Holidays in mind.
 

The holidays provide many opportunities for paper crafters to give an extra personal touch to every occasion. Whether you are doing place cards for a dinner, tags for gift giving or even just hand made projects using your supplies on hand, it is a blessed season indeed!

 

Here is my project.
 

 

 

 

I was inspired by wintery colours - the crispness of blue and white 

 

 

 

 The Christmas Angel has been coloured using SU Chalks/Pastels and had some Diamond Dazzle added to the wings.

 

 

 

 

The gorgeous bling on the Holiday Collage Christmas Tree is from Want2Scrap

 

 

The images are layered into the Spellbinders A-2 Fancy Postage Stamps Nestabilities® that has been cut using the Spellbinders Grand Calibur® Machine. 

 

Here are the products I used for my winter themed card

Christmas Angel
