BIRTHDAY CARD FOR A FRIEND

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!! WELCOME TO 2017

I am back and hope to make 2017 a more creative year with many more post to my blog. So I am starting out the year with a birthday card for a friend who is having a Birthday Challenge on her YouTube channel. You can see my video at.

To make this card I used the corrugated card base from Michaels (they no longer carry these). I used papers from Craft Smith. The stamp is from Graphic 45 and I used two dies from Spellbinders. The bling is from my stash it was no longer in the packaging so I don't remember where it came from. The flowers are from Wild orchid Crafts. The embellishment is from my stash.  I hope you enjoyed this post and I will be back soon with another project.

S.M.C.O.F. ATC BOOK PROJECT 11

I am so late posting this project but, life is a constant change and sometimes it just does not allow a lot of time for the fun things. This was a fun project, I had never considered a book ATC before. I definitely had to start over several times because I just could not get something that I actually liked. I wanted it to be able to fit into my ATC notebook and not be super bulky. This design came from the Tim Holtz book of ATCs that I bought at Hobby Lobby years ago. If you would like all of the information about the book just leave me a comment and I will get it to you.

This paper is from K and Company, I chose it because it is double sided and worked great for this project. The bling is from Hobby Lobby and I really love it.

The stamp with the two ladies is from from Hampton Arts and actually has 4 ladies on it is called Fashionnista Ladies and went with a Graphic 45 collection from way back. The other is also from Hampton Arts and it is also from a Graphic 45 collection. I matted the images on black card stock and cut the corners with the ticket corner chomper from We R Memory keepers and I inked the edges of both with Tim Holtz distress ink fired brick. Well that is it for my project today and I will be back again soon with a new project.

SATURDAY CHALLENGE OF FRIENDS 2

Good morning bloggers, I have a busy weekend ahead of me and can't wait to get started. But, first I want to get my card posted. This week is another of our "Saturday Challenge of Friends" . It is a challenge with one of my friends where every other week we have to make a card or project with certain requirements. This week we had to have more than one fold. For my card I chose the "Joy Fold card". I got the tutorial from "Splitcoast Stampers. If you want to know how to make almost any type of card this is the place to go. You can see my video of the card here.

The card stock is from Bazzill and the design paper is from Graphic 43 the Couture collection 6x6 pad. the Bling is recollection and the butterfly is from Heidi Swapp, I sprayed it with the  Heidi Swapp spray in Teal. The embossing folder is from Spellbinders and it is on of the 3D m-bossabilities. Love it, the embossing is so deep. I inked the top of the embossing with Tim Holtz distress ink, faded jean.

 I used the embossing folder again. I just love this design. The sentiment is from a stamp at Michaels, was a set that I got from the $2 bin for 80 cents.

 

This is another Michaels stamp from the $1 bin. the bling is from my stash it was the last little piece. I really love how this card turned out. I have always liked the little surprise inside.

SATURDAY CHALLENGE OF FRIENDS

Recently a friend and I decided to do a one on one challenge. We both have lots of crafty products and a lot of it we have never used. So the challenge is to help us to use our products. The challenge for this week was to make a card and the card had to have certain things.
1. use a recollection corrugated card base
2. use bling
3. use flowers
4. with a twist (we had to use the others favorite color.

The card stock is Recollection as is the corrugated card base. I like to cover all sides of the card base, front, back and inside. The punch used was Martha Stewart. The bling is from the Paper Studio and the flowers are from Recollection. The image is Graphic 45 by Hampton Arts. The sentiment is also from Graphic 45 (the Couture collection) by Hampton Arts. I used a spellbinders die and a cuttlebug embossing folder (musical flourishes). I inked all of the edges of the papers with Tim Holtz distress ink.

I used the Martha Stewart punch again and this sentiment is from The Paper Studio. Well, that is it for this week. I hope that you like my card. My friend and I will be back in two weeks with another challenge project.

This is the other side inside my card. Had to have a little more bling.

IT'S THAT TIME OF YEAR FOR LOTS OF BIRTHDAYS

One of my goals for this year is to post more regularly on my blog. So far I have not done that. I am crafting, It is just making the time to post some of it. This is another birthday card, this one for a very dear friend.

 

The stamp set is Graphic 45 from the couture set #1. The DP is from My Minds Eye (2011) The card stock is Recollection and the flowers and bling are from  Recollections also. The  card base is the corrugated cardboard cards from Michaels. I stamped the image with momento rich brown ink and the image on the inside of the card is from Michaels $1 bin. I used a spellbinders label set for the inside, the larger size was embossed with the swiss dots embossing folder from Cuttlebug.. I really love how this card turned out. I will be back soon with another project. A video showing my card.

SHABBY CHIC BIRTHDAY CARD

I can't believe how long it has been since I posted a project. There has been so much going on in my life and being sick was a small part of that. Now, I am better but, my energy level is still not back to normal. I have missed blogging and will keep this post short. My project today is a card that I made for my boss' birthday. I used the Tim Holtz shabby chic pad from several years ago. I do love these papers. I also used a stamp from one of the Graphic 45 sets.

 

 

The flowers are from Wild orchid Crafts, the bling is recollections and I used a Spellbinders die set. The stamp is from The Paper Studio. I really love how this card turned out.

SHABBY CHIC

Here is a project that I made for a friend and since I haven't posted in a while, I decided that I needed something pretty. I don't do Shabby Chic often even though I like the look of it. But, this is what she likes so here it is.

The papers are from a really old Tim Holtz pad (Shabby Chic),  The images are from a Hampton Arts one of a set of Graphic 45 designs. I stamped them on a Tim Holtz ticket and colored with copics  and then used glossy accents over them. I inked the edges with distress ink. The flowers are from my stash and are from Wild orchid crafts and the bling is from Recollections. I really like how this turned out and will be using the scraps to make another card for my bosses birthday.
