Pop Up Angel Card

Hi everyone, I hope you are having a great day. I have been sick since last week, but the last 4 days have been horrible. Today I am feeling a little better, I still have headaches but not too bad as days before.
Anyway, this time I made a card for Mothers and Daughters Creations Blog Challenge , this week challenge is a "Pop-up card, or a card with movable parts". I created a Pop Up Angel card.
For the front card I used Serendipity Christmas Clef Set Sentiment, it is stamped in Black Ink, I sponged the borders with Chocolate Chip Craft ink and then distressed it.
The paper is Christmas Ornaments by Best Creations you can find it here .
The Pop-Up Angel pattern is from Roberto Sakuda website, the instructions are very easy to follow. Inside it is embossed in white, I used a small Snowflake stamp from Studio G.

Card Recipe:
Card stock: Baja Breeze, Burgundy, Handsome Hunter, White.
Paper: Christmas Ornaments by Best Creations, Gold from Memory Stor (Form Costco)
Stamps: Christmas Clef by Serendipity, Snowflakes by Studio G (inside)
Ink: Black, Chocolate chip.
Embellishments: Clear rhinestones, Gold thread.
Accessories: White embossing powder, embossing gun, Dimensionals, sponges

I hope you like it.
God bless

What Giovana means

What Giovana Means

You are deeply philosophical and thoughtful. You tend to analyze every aspect of your life.

You are intuitive, brilliant, and quite introverted. You value your time alone.

Often times, you are grumpy with other people. You don't appreciate them trying to interfere in your affairs.

You tend to be pretty tightly wound. It's easy to get you excited... which can be a good or bad thing.

You have a lot of enthusiasm, but it fades rather quickly. You don't stick with any one thing for very long.

You have the drive to accomplish a lot in a short amount of time. Your biggest problem is making sure you finish the projects you start.

You are well rounded, with a complete perspective on life.

You are solid and dependable. You are loyal, and people can count on you.

At times, you can be a bit too serious. You tend to put too much pressure on yourself.

You are very hyper. You never slow down, even when it's killing you.

You're the type of person who can be a workaholic during the day... and still have the energy to party all night.

Your energy is definitely a magnet for those around you. People are addicted to your vibe.

You are usually the best at everything ... you strive for perfection.

You are confident, authoritative, and aggressive.

You have the classic "Type A" personality.

You are very intuitive and wise. You understand the world better than most people.

You also have a very active imagination. You often get carried away with your thoughts.

You are prone to a little paranoia and jealousy. You sometimes go overboard in interpreting signals.

Sweet Bunny

Hi again everyone, just something funny to share with you. I was checking the Verve Forum today and I was curious about the cards for the Meet the Verve Divas Challenge, so I went there and I was looking for my card, never found it, I got upset, I checked again, I was pretty sure I posted my card and it had to be somewhere. Finally I gave up, I checked my stack of cards and guess what....I didn't make a card for this challenge, LOL. I made 2 cards and a card holder for the Gettin' KRAFTy challenge but not for the Verve Diva Challenge. I couldn't stop laughing, silly me, so when my DD is napping I finished a card for Laura's Verve Diva Challenge. Ohhh I feel much better now, LOL.
This challenge is to create a card using TAGS, oh well, tags sound too much for me because I don't use tags in my cards, so I used only 1, I found this one in my drawer next to other pieces of paper, it says SWEET, so it is perfect for my card.

Here is my card SWEET BUNNY
Card Recipe:
Card Stock: White, Pink Pirouette, Blush Blossom.
Stamps: Some bunny by Verve.
Ink: Pretty in Pink.
Embellishments: 5/8" Striped Kiwi Kiss Grosgrain Ribbon, Offray Yellow and Pink satin ribbon., tag, gold brads, Gold stickles.
Accessories: Sewing machine, white thread, Dimensionals.

I hope you like it.
