2013 Artisan Entry Blog Hop – Day 1

Welcome back! I'm back for at least the next ten days...I have been stamping and been very busy working on swaps for Convention 2013. Prior to that I was working on entry for the 2013 Artisan Award. I was not a winner, but I wanted to show you my projects. I apologize that I did not get very good pictures of my projects. I ran time down to the very last minute and even had to pay $50 to overnight my projects to Stampin' Up!

If you just came from Pam's blog then your on the right track for the Artisan Entry Blog Hop, if not you can start the hop right here and it will take you through all the blogs posting non-winning entries for 2013. I have chosen to start and end with my 3-D items and then alternated my cards and scrapbook pages. These will all be posted within the next 10 days, so be sure to bookmark my blog and come back to see all 10 projects!
The first 3-D item is my first initial twilled. This was my first attempt at twilling and it is kind of fun. So without further ado, here is my project.

The colors are Perfect Plum, Elegant Eggplant, Basic Gray, Basic Black, and Wisteria Wonder. I used the Designer Series DSP for the twilling parts and the border and then cardstock for the butterflies. I then added rhinestones to the butterflies. The ribbon was from the Seasonal Catalog and was the 1 1/2" satin two tone basic grey/basic black. 

Here are all the people participating in this year's hop. Please stop by everyone of them to all the beautiful items they created. And don't forget to come back tomorrow for one of my card creations!

Crosses of Hope

Here is a card that I made to sell at local boutique that requested religious cards. This is about as religious as I dare get when I'm trying to please the general public. The stamp set is Crosses of Hope and the colors are Not Quite Navy and Whisper White.

This completed card is available for purchase at CraftedwithClass.com.  Thanks for stopping by!

Birthday CASE

Here is another card that I made for a Masculine Swap. This is actually a CASE, but I don't remember of who, so if it's yours, please let me know! The stamp set is Pendant Parade and the colors are Cherry Cobbler, Night of Navy, Gumball Green, and Whisper White.

Thanks for stopping by!

Celebrate Today!

Here is another Convention 2012 swap. This one was for a Masculine Swap. The colors could easily be switched out to make a more feminine card too. The colors shown are Cajun Craze, Soft Suede, Summer Starfruit, and Whisper White. The stamp set is Perfectly Penned.

Once, again, thanks for stopping by! More swap shares are to come!

Another Papillion Potpourri Share

Okay, so I created my first post in a long time yesterday. Can you image my surprise when I looked at my posting history and found all these draft post with pictures of my swap posts from Convention 2012?! I guess I was planning on sharing them with you...So I guess I better start from where I left off last September. Here is one of my swaps, I don't remember what swap I made it for, however. The colors are Melon Mambo, Lucky Limeade, Pumpkin Pie, and Whisper White. The stamp sets are Papillion Potpourri and Sweet Sentiments.

A completed card is available for sale at my webstore, CraftedwithClass.com. And as always, thanks for stopping by!

Trying this again!

I'm going to try once again to make more of an effort to post more frequently, especially for those of you that have continued to view my blog in my absence. Just because I have not been blogging lately, doesn't mean that I have not be stamping. I have continued to stamp on a fairly regular basis, so that means I have lots to show you. Unfortunately  since it's been so long, some of if has retired already (think Christmas and Sale-A-Bration). In the past I have made an effort to NOT post retired items, so I think I will continue suit, unless I get a huge object. Some of my retired cards can be found at my webstore, CraftedwithClass.com.

So now, back to our regularly scheduled program, a share!! The first card that I'm going to share with you is a CASE of Mary Brown. I used the single stamp Swallowtail and the sentiment is from Field Flowers. The colors are Elegant Eggplant, Wisteria Wondering, and Whisper White.

I was very hesitant to buy this stamp as I didn't think it would be very versatile  but after seeing so many cute samples, I bit the bullet and ordered it. Now the challenge is to continue to use it.

Thanks for your patience and stopping by!
