More Circle Cards

A few months ago I came across a few of these Circle DVD tins with a clear top. Of course I ordered them, and then quickly forgot I had them. When the CTMH Wishes book came out I all of a sudden knew what to do with those DVD tins.
For the tree branch on the front of the DVD tin I stamped right on the clear part and then used Olive embossing powder on it.
The card is Wishes pattern inner court.
ETA: the dvd tins are from http://www.american-digital.com/

Color Chef Challenge #6

This is my card for this weeks Color chef Challenge over at KJ's Stamp Pad. I really think the popularity of circle cards is growing! Last week one of my many projects involved a set of bird circle cards that you will see soon. For this card, the front flap of the card is the plaid part, the small circles are attached to the back. I was going to use white faux stitching, but my white gel pen was dried up, so I went for the black.

Color Me Monday

The CEO of Close to My Heart, Jeanette Lynton , has started a Monday Color challenge. Last week was the 1st one. This week she picked a wonderful group of colors. I really enjoy color challenges, and I think they are my favorite thing about blogging. I made this really cute bird house that can hold candy or a small gift. I found the template here.

Here you can see the perch that I created by rolling a 3/4" strip of cardstock and then attaching it with a glue dot.

I also used removable glue dots to attach one side of the roof, so I can add a little treat later.

Spring Fling Challenge

Over at Nichole Heady's Blog is the Sr. Design Teams Spring Fling Challenge. This is my card for her challenge. I soon as I saw the image chosen by Becky, I fell in love with the colors. I knew that I wanted to use that spotted pillow as my inspiration.
Since I have been so Tea obsessed lately I bought myself the Papertrey Tea for Two set. I haven't had time to use it until now.
I really wanted my tea pot image to have a think glossy look like a real tea pot, but it doesn't show well in the picture. I used clear embossing powder to give the pot a glossy effect, and I layered the powder about 5 times to get it thick.
