Linda's Butterflies

Hi everyone, 

Thanks for stopping by and for all your wonderful comments. I'm honored to have you here and I truly appreciate each of you more than you know!

The card I'm sharing with you today may be familiar with the image if you subscribe to my YouTube channel because it's a redo of the channel's original profile pic, which I've since updated to this one.  The Groovi plate used is one of the first I bought and is still one of my favorites.  I'd also had several people ask where they could find the video of the profile pic, so I'm more than happy to oblige!  If you've got any specific video requests, please do let me know!

And here's the video of how I created the card...

Card: Unbranded white and Clarity's purple parchment

Groovi Plates: Linda's Butterflies and diagonal basic grid (for the perforating)

Tools and embellishments: Groovi and Pergamano embossing and perforating tools, circle picot dies, Polychromos pencils and Pergamano brads

Delicate Angel

Hi everyone, 

Thanks for stopping by and for all your wonderful comments. I'm honored to have you here and I truly appreciate each of you more than you know! 

The card I'm sharing with you today is the one I'd planned for last month's craft along in my Facebook group.  Thanks to the unsocial network screwing with the private group privacy settings and posting publicly, the live was aborted... grrr!  Thankfully, the issue was sorted before my next broadcast last weekend and I'll show you that card after the turn of the year.

The design of this one is super simple and I've kept the beautiful angel in her purest form by not adding any color, just a hint of sparkle...

Card: Unbranded white and Clarity's Indian Summer designer parchment

Groovi Plates: Linda's Butterflies (frame) and October's NDC baby plate

Tools and embellishments: Groovi and Pergamano embossing tools, nested picot circle dies, gold Posca paint pen, Nuvo shimmer pen and rhinestones from my stash

Challenges...

Pinky Purple Twofer

Hi everyone,

Thanks for stopping by and for all your wonderful comments. I'm honored to have you here and I truly appreciate each of you more than you know!

Although I spent much of the festive period prepping for new bi-monthly live Groovi demos on Facebook... more on that later... I still have a lot of cards I created last year that I'm yet to show you, so I better start today!

These two were some of the earliest I created with the Queen Mary duet grid, and I'm sure by now the other elements are familiar to regular readers?

Now, more about those FB lives... although I don't do YouTube videos (and never will!), a number of friends expressed an interest in how my cards were created... so, last September I started demoing one per month in my Creative Crew group.  Then, after posting my December 'live' creation in Clarity's Groovi Worldwide group, I responded impulsively to someone's post saying she wished there was some way to craft together virtually!  And me being me, instead of changing my 'usual' demo into a craft along... I'm now doing two... the 1st Saturday of the month is the regular one were I'll skip ahead a bit... and 3rd Saturday of the month will be the slower paced craft along!

So, regardless of whether you're a parcher, or just interested in the process, please send me a message HERE (or through FB Messenger if we're already connected) and I'll add you to the group!

Card: Unbranded white card blanks and backing card, and Clarity's pink parchment
Groovi Plates: Queen Mary duet grid, and Linda's Butterflies, and Bee
Tools and embellishments: Pergamano embossing, piercing, and cutting tools, Arteza pencils, and brads from my stash

Hi everyone,

Thanks for stopping by and for all your wonderful comments. I'm honored to have you here and I truly appreciate each of you more than you know!

It's the first of the month, so that means it's time for a new challenge at Rainbow Card Challenge.  But before we get to it, this month is also a DT CALL!

If you would like to join our team for 2020, please add DT to the end of your submission title. The call will be part of this month's challenge, as well as January's challenge. If you enter both months, please add DT to both submissions so we can see your versatility! We are so excited to see what you create for us!

Our theme this month is Regal Rainbow although your card does NOT have to include ALL the colors of the rainbow, if you don't want to... we just ask that for this month only that you make it as colorful as possible!

And here's my card...

Card: Unbranded white, SU's Dapper Denim and various snippets, and Clarity blue and clear parchment
Groovi Plates: Nested Scallop Squares and Linda's butterflies
Tools and embellishments: Pergamano embossing and cutting tools, and brads, Arteza pencils, and unbranded rainbow dies
