New Card

Here are two pictures of my latest card. The first shot shows that it is made entirely with glitter card stock the second shot shows the true colors. Not sure how much I really like it but I wanted something very colorful and glitzy!

Birthday cards, as usual!

These are two more guy birthday cards for work that I literally threw together last night! The paper with the deer on is is Kaisercraft Secret Bird Society Collection. I just cut out the part with deer, rounded the corners and put some twine on it!

The second card was a little more work! I had to decide what font I wanted to print out for it! I use the b/w paper that I think came free with an order and a Spellbinders scalloped circle die. The car is a sticker.

I might get something else done today. I don't feel very good but have been doing some random computer clean up and card part cutting.

Birthday cards

I needed a couple more birthday cards for September for work. I wasn't sure what I wanted to make until I read the Cuttlebug Challenge blog and cased this card! Thanks Courtney Lee for the great idea!

I know I am not ready to go back to work. I cleaned up a chunk of my stash and know what I want to get rid of, but have run out of time to take care of it. I have much more cleaning and reorganizing to do. Such an addiction! My husband commented the other day that it never ends when I said I needed some new tool! LOL

Third Thank You Card

Well I cannot get the darned picture to go where I want it to for some reason so it will just be at the top of the page! This is my third thank you card. My friend Sue gave me Tattered Rose and Shabby Shutters, Tim Holtz Distressed Inks for my birthday. I used the colors on her thank you card.

I stamped the image on watercolor paper using Vintage Photo and found a blending pen in my stash of stuff. I used it to paint the ink onto the image. I think the blender pen made the Vintage Photo bleed but I like the way it looks. I used some Peeled Paint and Vintage Velvet to add shading to the card. The stamp is Stampin' Up.

I was pretty proud of myself that I made two cards yesterday! See what happens when I get time off!

Another Thank You Card

I made another thank you card for some friends who gave me a $25 gift card for my birthday! I opened the mail a few hours before I was going to Craft Warehouse! I bought the Tim Holtz's Winged Heart die with part of my gift card (I had a 40% off coupon so it was a score!). Plus I bought a few other things including Distress Clear Crackle Paint which I am anxious to use.

The three dots at the bottom and on the heart inside the card are red rhinestones which didn't show their bling when I took their picture.

Thank You!

My extra special friend Denise gave me some Tim Holtz's Distress Inks for my birthday and a the gear Cuttlebug folder I have been wanting! She even let me pick out the ink colors myself!

As usual, she challenged me to make something with my new stuff. I bought the new Tim Holtz die Heart Wings while we were shopping.

I cut out the background heart from the Heart Wings and embossed them with the Cuttlebug gear folder. I embossed the raised gears with clear embossing powder and then swiped the hearts with the Distress ink for embossed resist. I missed some spots but I still like how they turned out!

This card is not my usual style but I really like it! The inside of the card would make a great card on it's own!
