Quick Valentine

I did this for my husband last week. I was busy doing things for my new job so I didn't get it made until Valentine's Day morning but I thought it was important that the husband of a cardmaker get a valentine.

The stamp contains all the hearts. It is made by Inkadinkado and designed by Dawn Houser. I stamped it twice on white paper. Them I cut several of the hearts out and attached them back on with dimensional adhesives to give it more depth.  Then I attached it to a red piece followed but a sheet of paper that was dry embossed that I received in a swap, The base card is red. I always have a white sheet of paper attached inside the card when the base card stock is dark and I used a need border punch on that.

Have fun card making!!

Friends Card

I went to a card workshop today. We made 8 cards and of course, I couldn't do the cards exactly like she taught.  I had to put my own twist to them. This is the closest I came to doing what she wanted. The colors are old olive and rich razzleberry. The stamps are from Stampin Up and called Vintage Vogue.  The border punch is also from Stampin Up and called Scallop Trim Border.

W is for Watermelon

Here is the next alphabet card for the JustCards alphabet swap.  It makes me think of summer. Nothing really new on techniques for me here. I colored it with colored pencils and used odorless mineral spirits to blend.  It was a simple card but I was happy with the results. It went all the way to Scotland for the swap. It is my first swap card to Scotland!

Photoscape Card

I did this card for a StampscapeII swap. It is a photo that has been stamped on to create the scene.  I am still learning but it was a good challenge.

Window Card

I did this card for a swap for JustCards.  I did the window with a die at Archivers in Illinois. It didn't cut out well and I had to do a lot of the cutting by hand. .

The image inside is from Stampin Up.  I colored it with colored pencils.

Quick Butterfly card

A friend at work is having her 60th birthday today so I whipped up this card last night. The paper is prettier than a photo can show. It is kind of pearl-y  and shiny.

I did the butterfly with 3 stickers. I foldered two in half with a flat one on top to create a 3-d effect. Then I used glitter glue to add more dimention.  Inside, I punched a border on the white insert.  It is a bright pretty card on a cold snowy day!

Valentine's

While in Illinois, I made this Valentine for a JustCard's swap. The heart was from an image swap and the hÄnglar and stÄnglar stamp was a gift from Annika.  I colored with colored pencils and bended with OMS. The skin and hair was done with copics.

I also did Valentine's with my neice. She colored the image and I made the card for her. This is for her teacher. We also did cards for her class but I don't have a picture.
