CR84FN #70

| Published 1.13.2013


It's CR84FN color challenge time again!


How springy and beautiful are these colors?! When I saw the gorgeous graphic, I thought of sun and sand, especially since I live in eastern Canada and we have snow and more snow right now :)


I used my new Cameo to make the sun and the sand. I ran the sand cutouts through my Sizzix to give it texture. I also tried playing with shading chalks...with variable success. I've leaned a few more tricks so hopefully my next attempt will be better ;) I created the aqua sky with Distress Ink. The clouds are die cuts from Papertrey Ink. The wonderful sentiment is from DeNami Design - so cheery!

Welcome to a new CR84FN color challenge! It's a good 'un!

But before we move on to the gorgeous graphic, we have a new guest designer for the month of January! Please give a hearty CR84FN welcome to Lisa Snowdy!!! Welcome Lisa - we are so excited that you are joining us for the month!


Because there's a brand new year almost upon us, I wanted to make an exuberant card. Of course, it's CAS but hopefully joyful nonetheless :)



I used a brand new Christmas present to make the drops...my new Silhouette Cameo! I used to own a Cricut, but this machine is much better so far. The biggest plus...no cartridges! I can't wait to have some more fun with it. 

After I cut the drops, I embossed them with a damask Cuttlebug folder for a little texture then I affixed them to the base. Add a sentiment, et voila!

CR84FN #68

| Published 11.25.2012


Time for another B-E-A-U-tiful CR84FN color challenge! But before we get to the colors, we just want to let all our loyal CR84FN followers know that this is the last post before we go on a holiday hiatus - CR84FN will return in all it's glory on Sunday, December 30th for CR84FN69.

But for the next two weeks, we have these fabulous colors to play with..


I absolutely LOVE this color combo - I really do. It is one of my favs to date. 

Given the impending holidays, poinsettias seemed to fit the bill for the burgundy in the palette. 


I used the Christmas poinsettias die from Papertrey Ink to create a partial die cut in cream cardstock. Then I stamped a few poinsettias on the cardstock, stamping one in place of the die cut. The cream cardstock was dry embossed with the linen impression plate from Papertrey Ink. I then clear embossed a background on a dark grey cardstock base and attached the cream cardstock.

 On to this weeks CR84FN color challenge. These colors are GORGEOUS! I love purple!!!

I had a few ideas for this palette; however, I must admit I had a bit more trouble than I bargained when trying to put together a card...I'll blame it on being tired :) But I seriously do love these colors. Talk about a fabulous, non-traditional color scheme!


The snowflakes are heat embossed in gold, then I used Concord Grape distress ink to make them stand out.

Elegance is the theme with this week's CR84FN colours! 

They just exude class and style. 





I went for a simple design that I thought was elegant in it's own way. I die cut three colours of card stock using an undulating die from Papertrey Ink (In the Meadow). I then pieced the die cuts together and embossed the lot. I thought about adding a few more embellishments but then decided I liked it the way it was :)

Hope you'll join in on the fun! Thanks so much for stopping by!

Welcome back for another beautiful colour palette from CR84FN!


Such a soft and gorgeous collection of colours. 


Although I first thought these colours would make a fabulous non-traditional Christmas palette, all I could think about was cupcakes :) So I went with it.

How about another beautiful CR84FN color challenge?!


No watercolors this time :) 


Instead I used pretty blue, stripy, patterned paper and stamped a sentiment on top. The patterned paper is backed by chocolate cardstock, all placed on top of embossed kraft cardstock. I added a little, tan heart to finish it off.

CR84FN #61 Week 2

| Published 8.26.2012



It's week 2 of CR84FN #61! And lo and behold, I actually had time to make a second card! I actually made it several days ago…I hope I can continue to get back into my good ol' craft room on a regular basis. The place has been a bit of a wasteland as of late.


I was really inspired by this color palette to play with watercolors. So I dug out my watercolor paper (this stuff is the best for working wit watercolors, seriously) and played a bit.


I started by using water based inks (Antique Linen Distress Ink and PTI's Hawaiian Shores), wet a brush and began brushing the ink on the paper. Then I stamped a few flower silhouettes in tan and a few in brown for some depth. Pretty simple but I really like how this turned out. It just makes me want to play with watercolors even more!

Happy weekend to you all! 

Time for a new CR84FN color challenge and these colors are AMAZING! I just LOVE them :)


This is a combo you could use any time of year. Truly. Summer, fall…even Christmas time. Seriously fantastic, non-traditional Christmas colors. Wait, I'm talking about Christmas…already! Never to early to start thinking about it I guess ;)

Here's my take on these delicious colors.


I have been getting good milage out of the Mat Stack 3 die (from Papertrey Ink) lately. I can't seem to put it down. Just one of those things, and I'll run with it :)

Check out all the gorgeous DT samples over at the CR84FN blog, including our guest designer for the month, Monika.

Check out the newest colors from CR84FN!!! 


I just adore these colors! The bright pink is sooo pretty - it's become one of my favorite colors. I used to be a earth-tone kinda gal (and still am) but pink has begun to dominate my color palette. 


For my card, I chose some graphic stripes. Then I used this beautiful daisy (made with dies from Papertrey Ink) to soften the stripes. 

Hope you'll swing by the CR84FN blog to check out the fantastic samples by the talented DT!

Time for a new CR84FN challenge!!! Hope all my US peeps are having a fantastic Memorial Day weekend. In Canada, our long weekend (Victoria Day) was last week.


These colors are AMAZING!!!



A while back, I saw a picture of beautiful, purple roses.

That was the effect I was going for with this card. Perhaps I could have gone slightly darker with the purple on the rose but I do like the color when all is said and done.

Hope you'll swing by the CR84FN blog to check out the fantastic samples by the talented DT!
