Tri Fold Shutter Card

I made this Tri Fold Shutter birthday card for an upcoming card swap at Inky Fun Stampers, one of the Yahoo Groups I belong to.  I like the very colourful papers I used and had fun mixing and matching them.  

Once I got the basic card made I added several sentiments, flowers and leaves and a few brads.  Now that I have the card made I need to figure out how to mail it.  I will have to make something to protect the front flowers. 

Thank you for stopping by.  Remember my favourite quote is by Maya Angelou. “You can’t use up creativity. The more you use, the more you have.” Do something creative for yourself today.

Enjoy a Cup of Christmas Joy

 

It is a tag challenge at Holly Jolly Christmas Challenges this week.  Use a tag on your card or make a Christmas theme tag.  Bugaboo Digi Stamps is the sponsor this week and one lucky person  will win a great prize.  Hope you will join in.

For my card I used a Bugaboo image called, JJ Ornament 'Tis the Season.  I used the directions on Splitcoaststampers for the double diagonal pocket card and two sentiment digis, one from Arty Pants and the other from Crafty Cats Designs. 

Both tags after I embossed the snowflakes I rubbed on gold rub on paste to highlight them. To one tag I added the fabric snowflakes that I coloured with gold ink and glittered. The second tag I added a little metal angel to give the tag some interest. 

Need inspiration, check out the other design teams creations at Holly Jolly this week.  Thank you for stopping by and do something creative for yourself today.

Frosty the Snowman

Nothing says Christmas to me as a snowman Christmas card and that is the theme at Holly Jolly Christmas Challenges this week. .  This jolly snowman is a digital image from I Brake for Stamps.  I love his smile, so sweet.

The swirl background of this card is a sheer napkin fabric in sliver, I thought it gave the card some interest and sparkle.   I next added a layer pattern paper and a snowflake garlands, then to complete the card I added some white pom poms, pearls and ribbon.  I think he looks very festive.  

Thank you for stopping to take a look and please join us this week for the snowman challenge at Holly Jolly.

Route 66

My Sherri Crafts challenge this week has the theme of  "Lets Take a Trip" .  Great summer time theme. When I saw the them of the challenge I thought of the Kenny K. digital image I had in my collection.  Thought it would make a good image for this challenge.  

I had this pack of travel papers in my stash that were perfect for this card. The Route 66 sign is a free digital from Vintage Printables. I coloured my image with my Copic Markers and added a few sentiments to complete my card. 

Thank you for stopping by.  Have a creative day.

Collage Challenge - About Time

My turn to pick the challenge this week and on of my favourite type of cards  is collage thus this week is a collage challenge at Come and Get It Challenges.  The idea of the challenge is to create a card that uses three or more images or stamps. 

I got carried away and used 13 rubber stamps and two stencils to create my card. I first stenciled the background with acrylic paint then added my time related rubber stamps and two Tim Holtz rubber stamps .  Once I completed my layout I added Diamond Glaze to a couple of the images and used a white gell pen to outline the word time.  

Thank you for stopping by today and I hope you will join us this week for the collage challenge at Come and Get It Challenges.

Distressed Stains

I made this Steampunk card for a card swap  at Technique Junkies and I just mailed it off to my partner.  This was a fun technique (June/July issue) where you add three colours of Distress Stains to an embossing folder and then add wet paper and emboss.  I love how the stains react to the water and the card stock.  It is such as soft looking background.  

The rubber stamp is by Stampendous and the wheel clogs at by Tim Holtz. 

Thank you for stopping by to take a look.
