My Creative Time Throwback Thursday Challenge

Throwback Thursday Challenge - Episode~104

"Good Morning My CREATIVE FRIENDS AND Welcome to another Throwback Thursday Challenge!;) For this week's challenge, you are to create a "SHAPED" card AND include the color "ORANGE" in it! You can make ANY theme you want, just as long as it includes those two things in it!"

Thanks to Emma for such a fun challenge.  I had a great time making my card.  The only complaint I had is that my finished card was a bugger to photograph!!  

I used transparency film (you know, the clear plastic stuff) to make the shape card in the shape of the snow globe from Doodlecharms. The snow globe was cut at 5" (as was the layer to make the base) and the Snow man (and his layers) were cut at 3".  I added silver snowflakes, two to the inside of the card and one to the front bottom of the base. I matted the "Holiday Hello" sentiment (Studio G) up on mirrored paper and pop dotted it. 

Inside the snow globe card there is a matching snowman layer so the message can be added to the card.  Lastly, I added the white gel pen "stitches" and the little red and white "bow."

My Creative Time Throwback Thursday Challenge

Throwback Thursday Challenge! - Challenge~98

"Why not create a card using NO machines~ lets make our cards "Old School" style! hehehe! Remember when there was no fancy die cutting machines or anything like it back in the days!! All I remember is cardstock, pattern paper, scissors, glue & stamps!"

Surprisingly, I've been making quite a few cards the last couple of days without using the Cricut.  I'm not sure what has come over me... 

Here is the card I am entering for Emma's Thursday Throwback Challenge of NO MACHINES!

The inside of the card with a simple decoration.

The glittered cake paper is from a K&I Memories stack called "Party" that I bought on clearance from Joann's this summer.  The sheer ribbon is from my local Dollar Tree and the stamps is a Studio G. The white stitching is done with a Gelly Roll white gel pen and the border punch is Dotted Wave from EK Success.
