Peaceful Snowflakes - Twisted Sketches

Time seems to pass slowly at times and so quick at others.  I can hardly believe that it will officially be the first day of fall this week.  Winter isn't that far away.  With that in mind, I created this card from the card sketch this week at Twisted Sketches.

This card is quite big....it measures 4 x 9 inches and I used large snowflakes that I cut on my Cricut with the clear clam shell cases  that I cut from the carts.  I used some acrylic paint on the card for the background and also on the plastic snowflakes.  I blinged them up a little with my i-rock tool.  I hope you will join us this week at Twisted Sketches (they will be having a DT call later this week).

        Supplies-
        Cardstock, ribbon, corner rounder: Stampin' Up!
        Die cuts: Cricut Expression with Winter Wonderland cartridge
        Paint: Making Memories
        Rhinestones: i-rock by Imaginisce
        Pen: Unibal Signo

Mushroom Smile With Glitter

The new card sketch it up at Twisted Sketches and for Sketch #17 the twist is glitter.  I love playing with glitter and so I had fun using some stickles to glitter up the flowers and sentiment on this card.

        Cardstock, patterned paper, pen: Stampin' Up!
        Die-cuts: Cricut Expression with Paisley cartridge
        Glitter: Stickles glitter glue

I hope you hop on over to the Twisted Sketches blog to check out the sketch and play along.

Some of you may have noticed that I have a poll on the right sidebar and have participated.  Since I can see that Tutorials seems to be the most popular, I am working on one this weekend and for those with Gypsys, I am also working on making a file for you to go along with it.  If any of you have experience with uploading files to the internet and who you think has the best free service please leave a comment here for me so that I can check it out and get them uploaded for you.

Framed Flowers - Twisted Card Sketch #15

The new sketch is up at Twisted Sketches.  It is Twisted Card Sketch #15 and the twist is Frame.  For this card, I cut out a framed window from chipboard with my Cricut Expression that I welded on my Gypsy.  I used an old DCWV Stack chipboard backing for this and distressed the edges a little bit with sandpaper.  I then punched out six flowers with an EKSuccess punch for the flowers and sprayed them with a little Glimmer Mist for some sparkle.  After they dried, I put some brads in the centers of the flowers.  I adhered them all to the card with dimensional adhesive.  I scallop punched some pink cardstock and used it for the bottom edge of my card.  I then applied some lace and a ribbon with a button over that.  I applied a sentiment to the bottom center of the frame.

        Cardstock, stamp, ink, scallop edge, word window
            and modern label punches: SU!
        Brads: Making Memories
        Flower punch: EK Success
        Die-cut window: Cricut Expression with Gyspy and George cartridge
        Other: Glimmer Mist, chipboard, button, lace, ribbon

I have lots of stuff to share with you today,  I hope you will come back.  I also hope that you will stop by the Twisted Sketches Blog and play along with us.

Hope - Twisted Card Sketch #13

I loved designing this card with Twisted Card Sketch #13 this week at Twisted Sketches.  I admit I almost missed it and jumped ahead a couple of weeks and designed the wrong card this time, but I caught myself just before I had to get it done and did the right one.  I will share the other one I started on with Twisted Card Sketch #15. ;)  To check out the Sketch and to play along, click HERE.

The twist this week is flourish and so I used the rhinestone trail behind the butterfly to create my flourish for the twist on the sketch.  To make the butterfly, I cut it out of clear plastic (the clam shell that the Cricut carts come in) with the Serenade and then dyed it with some Tim Holtz alcohol ink to get the colorful clear effect.

        Cardstock: Stampin' Up!
        Patterned paper: I am not sure...a small scrap from my stash
        Ink: Tim Holtz alcohol inks
        Rhinestones: Michaels
        Glitter: Stickles
        Die-cuts: Cricut with Serenade, Pink Journey, and Accent Essentials carts
        Embossing: Cuttlebug with Swiss Dots embossing folder
        Other: clear plastic and sewing machine with thread

Praying For You.... New Twisted Sketches Card

I hope your weekend is going great.  I had a nice time yesterday....my husband and I took the kids out to dinner, we did a little (grocery) shopping, and rented some movies that they had been wanting to see.  I wasn't able to spend any time in my scrapbook room yesterday, but I hope to a little bit today.  I do have a card to share with you from Twisted Sketches.....it is Card Sketch #5 and the twist is ribbon.  I also decided to do a sympathy card for the Little Red Wagon challenge....I really should keep some of these on hand because they can be hard to make when I need them.
