Unscripted Sketches – Sketch #130

  • Patterned papers – BoBunny “Enchanted” collection from their 6″ X 6″ pad
  • Die cuts – Spellbinder’s Nestabilities “Standard Circles” and “Lacey Circles”
  • Stamp – Inky Antics “Thank You”
  • Silver metal stickers – Mark Richards

I was inspired by Unscripted Sketch #130 for this card. I love the paper piecing of this sketch with this BoBunny paper collection. The small print really lends itself to this kind of design. This was another Design Team card for Stampin’ Cat Studio. Thanks for visiting.


Cutest Cat Stamp EVER!

  • Stamp – Stampendous – “Cattus Librum” cling stamp
  • Patterned paper – BoBunny “Enchanted Dots”
  • Border die – Memory Box “Meridian Border”
  • Cardstock – Bazzill
  • Ribbon – May Arts

I made this card for Stampin’ Cat Studio to showcase this extremely CUTE cat stamp and the cool BoBunny paper. If you look closely you can see the black glitter on the paper. Very pretty. Lisa is still laughing at me and my reaction to the kitty! Thank you for your visit.


Clean & Simple Sketch #165

  • Stamps – (butterly on right and bottom) Stampington & Company Christine Adolph Series “Shore Cliff Elements”
  • (butterfly on left) Waxing Nostalgia (division of River City Rubber Works) “Butterflies are Free”
  • (sentiment) Rubber Soul “Happy Birthday”
  • Patterned papers – K & Company “Jubilee Magenta Accents” and Basic Grey “Boxer: Money Clip” (stamped butterflies on this)
  • Cardstock – Bazzill
  • Button – Bazzill Buttons
  • Ribbon – May Arts

I used the current sketch #165 at Clean & Simple for inspiration for this card. I stamped the butterflies on the Basic Grey paper that had a subtle pattern, cut them out and popped them up for a little dimension. Thanks for stopping by.


Card Positioning Systems – Sketch #242

  • Patterned paper – Best Creations “Travel Forever” (both sides)
  • Butterfly – K & Company – Brenda Walton “Flora and Fauna Butterfly” adhesive chipboard
  • Stamp – Inkadinkado “Happy Birthday”
  • Cardstock – Bazzill and Bazill Bling
  • Round paperclip – brass

I used the CPS Sketch #242 to create this birthday card. The 2-sided paper from Best Creations, Inc., worked out well for this and the side with the blue background has glitter imbedded in it. I kept this simple, since the paper design kept the eye going! Thanks for visiting!


OWH – T-shirt inspiration challenge

  • Flourish stamp – Hero Arts “Fabulous Flourish”
  • Sentiment stamp – Printworks “Wonderful”
  • Hummingbirds – Hero Arts “Antique Engravings” set
  • Rhinestones – Mark Richards (light pink) and Kaisercraft (light green)
  • Cardstock – BoBunny “Strawberry Double Dot”

The challenge for this card is at Operation Write Home right now–it is to create a card using a flourished t-shirt as inspiration. I used stamps to create the entire image, and stippled ink in the background to add some more color. This was quite a challenge for me, but it was fun! Thanks for stopping by!


Butterfly Collage

  • Stamp – Crafty Individuals “Butterflies Collage Quad”
  • Die cut – Spellbinders Nestabilities “Lacy Squares”
  • Jewels – Hero Arts Hero Hues
  • Ribbon – May Arts
  • Cardstock – Bazzill
  • Embossed paper – source unknown

I clear embossed the butterfly image and then applied different colors of ColorBox Chalk inks direct to paper and blended. This card is a sympathy card for a friend whose sister just passed away.


OWH Shipment – October 2011

 

It was just kind of fun to spread out everything before I sealed up the box to send to my OWH shipper last week! These were the cards I sent off this time. Quite the combination! I think they’ve all been posted here individually at some point. I’ve started on my next shipment already! Thanks for the visit.
