Masculine Card Thank You #2 / Blog Candy Winner

Today as I was cleaning off my desk, I came across some bits and pieces left over from when I was creating a card for the 3 challenges I had entered on Wednesday. I had the card base, had added a strip of Cajun Craze to the embossed piece, and had the Thank You  which I had also decided against using.

I was just going to file them away for another time, but thought why not see if I could put a card together.  BINGO, I was able to create another Masculine Thank You in less then 20 minutes! Don't you just love when that happens? This one also has a nautical theme, but I used the By the Sea shell stamp from this set and keep it to just a two color combination. Since the SUO challenge is still in effect, I will be entering it there for my last post of the week.
 .

Speaking of posts, I have a winner of my 500th. post by a random drawing. 

The winner of the BLOG CANDY is

Congratulations Elisha! If you can send along your mailing address 

to me at: bernadettebliss@gmail.com. I'll have your Blog candy in the mail early next week.  

Thanks to all who stopped by and left a comment. I truly appreciated it.

Have a wonderful and blessed weekend and go do something CRAFTY my friends!

Crafty Hugs,

Thank You So Much/MOJO 382

I'm just trying to stay ahead for my need of thank you cards and  decided to utilize the SU Lots of Thanks stamp set. I will be putting up 3 or 4 more cards using this set in the  next several days. So stay tuned!

This card is being linked to the MOJO Monday challenge, but I decided against the tall and skinny orientation.  I'm just not a big fan of that size card.

All the products used on this card are Stampin' Up! except the buttons and the dotted folder.

Gift Card Trio

Today I will be showcasing three Gift Card holders I made recently.

Yes, I know, there have been many of these floating around 

for months by other demonstrators. 

So, there is really nothing new here except my on "spin" on them.

I tend not to create something until I need it, bad I know. 

"Tis the season" that I needed these, thus the lateness of posting the ideas. 

 Hopefully they will be of some inspiration to you, 

especially if you tend to be a procrastinator like I am!

*All the products used will be listed at the bottom. If you would

like the measurements on any of these projects, you can email me at:

bernadettebliss@gmail.com 

 The first two were made using the Envelope Punch Board 133774 by SU.

What a handy tool this is. There are some very creative demonstrators out there who have gone beyond using this just to create envies.

I'm so thankful for them being so willing to share their talent.

 This particular card opens just the reverse of many that have been  created. 

I liked it because it was a little different. 

* inspired by Katina Martinez* 

This particular one is cut using a 5 1/2 x 51/2 inch piece of DSP. It will allow you to create 4 gift card holders out of one 12x12 inch sheet of DSP. The solid insert is used to hold a gift card with a glue dot.  

On the back you can add a sentiment if you like.

*inspired by Patty Bennett*

I choose this Gift Card because it will hold either cash or a check. I did tweek my measurements a little so it would accommodate a check since I don't send cash in the mail.

*original design by Linda Heller of stampingschool

Manly Card

Yesterday I decided to play along with Retro Sketches challenge rs#82. I was  going to enter this into the ColourQ challenge also, but they had black, white and a pop of color as their color choices. I used Very Vanilla which coordinates with the background in the Modern Medley DSP. My pop of color

 was the very pretty Coastal Cabana.

I used the Wetlands #126697 image and sentiment, but only heat embossed  the shore birds with Black Stampin' Emboss powder. 

The sentiment was inked in Coastal Cabana and cut with the Framelits- Oval Collection #129381. With the addition of a few Black Candy Dots and some Stampin' Dimensionals my card was complete.

Make your day great and stay CRAFTY!

Butterfly #3 and MOJO310

Today's card is not only featuring some more of those sweet butterfly's

 available from the Butterfly Bundle #135311(clear),

 but the MOJO 310 sketch for the week.

I used one of my favorite SU papers, Eastern Elegance 130131.  I seem always to be drawn to the beautiful Coastal Cabana and Crushed Curry.  I just recently received the Blessings from Heaven #123052 set that includes 6 uplifting sentiments.  I used one of the Ovals Collection dies for the sentiment and finished it off with three bitty butterflies and pearl accents.
