Core'dinations - Tami Mayberry - CAS Card Challenge

This is my third challenge card for Core'dinations.  This time we had
to make a CAS card, and usually I do anything but. Mind you I do
know that lots of people prefer simple to fussy.  The card has to
have a sentiment and  up to two embellishments.

Core'dinations Challenge – Kerri Smith Creating With Tags



Taking part in the Core'dinations Challenges I'm getting
more practice at doing tags, and find that I like doing them.
As small as tags are, it is still possible to use lots of
techniques on them.

Core'dinations Challenges - November 1-10, 2012



I just love Core'dinations cardstock – I love embossing,
sanding and distressing it.  Core'dinations are having
10 days of Challenges from the 1st-10th of November
and this card I am entering into one of them – I would
be thrilled to win one of their prizes as it is difficult to
get Core'dinations cardstock here and then it is very
expensive.  I have always bought this cardstock
whilst in America, and unfortunately, we had to cancel
this year's trip.

Card For Bugaboo Challenge - October Bingo

I love the humorous stamps from Bugaboo, and am using
one of them for their latest Challenge.  I chose to use
2 designer papers+bling+punch.  The Nestabilities die
can be used with ribbon, which makes a change and
makes the card fancier.  I have also used this die with
just 3 knotted bows.

Using Beads On Cards

Before I got hooked on paper crafting I made jewellery and still
have LOTS of beads and seed beads, so now and again I use
some on my cards.  Beads can be stuck on with glue, used
on wire or sewn on.  This time I have threaded a few beads on
wire, put each end of wire through ribbon and paper and taped at
the back, before adding to a mat and then attaching to card.
