Lovely Layers

A big woot woot to all of our Bundled-Up participants this week. We had lots of wonderful layered-up cards to enjoy. Also, a big thanks to our Lovely Guest Star ♥Candy Blake♥ for joining us this week with her fabulous prompt idea.

So here are a few of the cards that we thought interpreted the prompt particularly well:

Hazel of My Crafty Outlook

Her little snow bank layers made of torn textured paper were so fabulous ...

and how can you not smile at those fun penguins??

(I would be the little one who fell on his face ~ Stephanie)

Claire C of Claire's Crafty Creations

We were wowed by all of those fabulous pink layers

and the wonderful details in her elegant holiday design.

Miria of amanoamano di Miria

Miria's lovely monochromatic pocket design

was a fantastic take on the bundled-up theme ...

love the elegant pearls and lace.

If you haven't already, make sure you take a walk through the fabulous gallery of Bundled-Up Designs below ... you will find so much to inspire you.

We've got something extra-special planned for tomorrow's prompt. There will be several lovely guest stars and some prizes you won't want to miss ... see you then.

All Bundled Up

This week our Lovely Guest Star ♥Candy Blake♥ is asking us to celebrate the holidays by bundling up ... so we're asking you to add lots of layers (three or more!) to create your cards this week.

In addition to being a talented scrapper and card-maker, Candy (who won our Jolly (& Lucky) Old Saint Nicholas drawing in May), is a SAHM to three beautiful kids and a Stampin' Up demonstrator! She's always been creative, counting paper, ink, stamps and her Cricut among her favorite things in life. Her "happy place" is her tiny craft room, where she can be found cutting, inking and gluing... ahhhhhh, the life! :) Living in Newfoundland, Canada, of course Candy knows a thing or two about *LAYERS* and Bundling up! Do be sure to check out her blog, Stampin' With Candy, but first check out her gorgeous card:

Candy's Card

Candy says, "All Bundled Up" came to me while I was thinking about the warm and cozy feeling of being bundled up (inside, of course!!!) against the cold. When I'm paper crafting, I really love the challenge of seeing how I can play around with different elements, like tags, patterned papers ,etc, to create something unique and fun! This card reflects my love of layers.... lots of 'em!!!!"

Stef's Card

Stef says, "This week's CPS Sketch is perfect for lots of layering.

I used Graphic45's Christmas Past Collection for my entire card.

I finished with a few pearls and a wrap of some gorgeous recycled

wire-edged packaging ribbon."

Lauren's Card

Lauren says, "i also used a sketch, from a fabulously named blog that's new to me, "try stampin' on tuesday!"; i love that it already had LOADS of stacked panels just waiting for me to fill 'em in with scraps of patterned paper old and new--each one matted to "up the layer count" lol!-- a vintage poem from ideals magazine and an image cut from an old greeting card, etc. i also added layers of inking, machine-stitching and epoxy stickers for even more dimension, and finished off with some pre-layered chipboard letters as my sentiment!"

And now it's time to see how you'll be inspired by "ALL BUNDLED UP"! Will your layers be patterned paper, cardstock, chipboard, fabric, paint, stamped images... or all of the above? Just make sure to include *three* layers (or more!) and link up here before 6pm (EST) next Wednesday, June 22nd. The keyword for galleries or flickr is JB25.
