D.I.V.A. Secret Sister Cards

These are for my Secret Sister on the Blog Group D.I.V.A.S.

The first one is from the inspiration I got from her blog. I have used: SU Basic Black Card stock, CM Black & White Photo Mat package- several patterns and layers- I think there are 4 of them on this card.,  SU Basic Black and Real Red Satin Ribbons, SU Filigree Brads.  Also used SCS Sketch 317. The hear is punched from a CM  punch borrowed from a friend.

The 2nd card we are supposed to use diecuts, punches, cuttlebug, etc. Products used are Pear Pizzazz cardstock and the layered with Pear Pizzazz DSP on which I have layered Basic White that was embossed with the Big Shot and the Lattice Square embossing folder. The flower is made with the Build A Bloom stamp set and punch using Blushing Bride and Pear Pizzazz.  I have also used a filigree brad and a label punch to do the Happy Birthday. Don't quite remember who I cased this from but thanks.

I am hoping she will like these renditions very much.  Still have 3 more to make to be caught up with the challenge requirements.

still not too good at typing

after the carpal tunnel and trigger finger surgery but here are some cards I made the weekend before.

This is for a color swap group White on White

This card is for a vintage swap and loved using the set

this card is for a swap and will be completed to be used as a thank you or a thinking of you swap. Sweet Summer has become one of my favorite sets currently.

Thanks for looking and sharing any and all comments are greatly appreciated. Love cardmaking and will be doing about 100 cards fir charity at our New Hope Church Women's retreat next weekend with 25 ladies.
