Just Magnolia/hAnglar sTanglar - Paper Piecing week 111

This is the card that I made for my husband for Father's Day, but did not get a chance to post until now. I used this gorgeous paper I found at Michaels from DCWV called Nantucket. I knew I had to have it not only for my hAnglar sTanglar sailor images, but my magnolia ones as well. Yes, I was bad, and didn't stick to my rule and try and use what I had in my stash.. I just couldn't resist this stack and well a few others, I mean after all I had a few 50% off coupons and since it is only 10 minutes away from work. Well, lets just say my lunch hours were quite busy last week.

Anyway, over at Just Magagnolia and hAnglar sTanglar, the challenge this week is paper piecing something I love to do so this was right up my alley. I knew I had to ink up this adorable image and break out my new stash of papers from DCWV. So here is my take on this weeks Just Magnolia and hAnglar sTanglar challenge

DT Post Creative Inspirations Challenge # 62 and DT Call

This week over at Creative Inspirations it's Emma's turn, and she decided to have a go at sewing on a card. Well, I knit, I crochet, and I do all types of needle work, but when it comes to actually sewing with a sewing machine, well, lets just say although I have one, it just collects dust. I have always admired sewing on cards and have always wanted to give it a try, but since I don't have a craft room, I've never wanted to drag it out for the card and then put it away again. So, I kind of cheated. I found this gorgeous paper at Michaels which is pre-sewn. Hey, it works right and fits the challenge this week which is stitching on your card real or fake... So why not give it a try and check out the rest of the teams cards.. They've all worked so hard on them, and I know they would love hearing from you as would I. Our sponsors this week are Quioxtic Paper and Little Claires Designes
We are also having a DT calll, so if you are interested, just and DT after your entry.




So here is my Card for the Challenge:

Candy Bar Card

I found this tutorial on the Scor-Pal site which you can find here
so I thought I would give it a try. I changed it up a bit, by adding the slip off band along with the image in the circle, I wanted to give it that extra pizazze. It really was so fun to make and I can see myself using it for many different occassions since they would be great party favors, or that extra something for a family member, teacher or friend.



Here is a picture of it open:

Just Magnolia/Secret Crafter Saturday Challenge

I have entered two challenges on this one post, so please scroll down to see my entry in the Secret Sister Saturday Challenge which is anything but a card.

As many people know, my favorite color is blue, but with so many color combo's who really can have a favorite. Lately, I am trying to work outside the box and use warmer colors. I am loving the green's and rust together especially for a masculine card. So I am entering this in the Just Magnolia/Hangler Stangler Challenge this week.


This is my first Hangler Card.. I don't have any stamps and won these images from my dear friend Tammi. She has an awesome blog, and does wonders with her copics. She truly is an inspiration to me.



My girlfriends and I get together and "scrap" together every once in a while. I did this card while we were together. Since they knew I was doing this for my friend John's Birthday, I didn't add any flowers, but they knew I wanted to. Again, I wanted to give it a more masculine feel. So my, girlfriends and I kept joking that when they left I was going to add flowers, but they teased back saying that the next time they saw him they were going to ask him if there were flowers on his card...lol... So I was a good girl and left it alone, using buttons for my accents.



This fits the following challenges:
Totally Paper Crafts Add buttons
Just Magnolia/Hangler-Stangler Favorite Color Combo


Image: Hangler
Paper: Basil CS: Burning Ember, DP: Cosmo Cricket Happy Camper/Want S'more?
Extras: Doohicky Swirl Die, Buttons, Twine, Corner Punch
Image colored with Copics

I found this in the clearance section of a local craft store. It was a black memory book that begged to be altered. After seeting all of Stacey's aka Twins Happy lovely altered books which she did quite a while ago, I knew I had to give it a try. I would have loved to pick up a few more, but unfortunatley they only had 2. I am still trying to purge my papers and not purchase more (lets see how long that lasts, have to go to Michaels later...lol), So I used a 4 x 6 paper pack from DCWV where some of the papers are flocked.



This is for the: Secret crafter Saturday Challenge Anything but a card

As always, thanks so much for visiting my blog. Your comments mean so much so I would love to hear from you
