I like to make robot cards! When I saw the OWH Midweek Throwdown challenge this week was cards for kids, that was what I automatically went to for my theme! I accented the card with silver, since the robots were brightly colored. It seemed like they should have something metallic about them! Thanks for stopping by.
One of my favorite themes for cards is kid cards! The patterned papers took the lead on this one, which I made for the Operation Write Home Stars & Stamps Midweek Throwdown Challenge this week: Cards 4 Kids. I particularly like the penguin super hero–he’s very cute! I hope this will bring a smile to a child’s face when they receive it from a real hero. Thanks for visiting!
I built the robot and the robot kitty with multiple stamp parts in these clear Stampendous stamp sets. Lot of different options for lots of different looking “botz.” I made a simple background with scraps and my new embossing folder that I got on National Scrapbooking Day for $2.00! What a deal! The best part is the eye detail on the robot: Googly Eyes! Sandy at OWH challenged us to make a card with googly eyes as part of the Virtual Cardmaking Party (VCMP) hosted by OWH this past weekend. To see her card and other googly eyed cards, check out Sandy’s blog. Thanks for visiting today.
This is a fun turtle card, perfect for a child! The stamp set I used was created by Sandy Allnock at Operation Write Home for Stamper’s Best. I colored the turtle with Copic markers and edged the die cut with some chalk ink. I used a sketch from some time ago: OWH Sketch #133. This weekend is a virtual cardmaking party at Operation Write Home in honor of National Scrapbooking Day, and I made this card for one of the challenges at Paula’s blog to make a kid’s card using a sketch. We are making cards this weekend in a virtual party atmosphere! Thank you for stopping by.
This card was mostly about coloring and fussy cutting! This past week, OWH Stars and Stamps began a new feature called OWH Design Boot Camp. Color theory was in this lesson and we were to choose a color scheme based on one of the basic harmonies. I chose an analogous color scheme, using yellow orange/orange/red, which are three in a row on the 12-part color wheel. These are not necessarily colors I would choose to put together, but it fit the Red Riding Hood set I recently acquired at an LSS sale! After I colored them with Copic markers, I cut out the images and popped-up Red Riding Hood and her basket with a little dimensional adhesive. My wolf looks more like a fox–but he’s cute! I just kind of rewrote the fairy tale a little bit and she had a pet fox! Thanks for visiting today.
I made this little fox card using Sketch #153 at Operation Write Home Stars and Stamps. It will make a nice card for a child with the bright colors and cute little character. Thanks for visiting.
I made this card for the OWH Midweek Throwdown Challenge this week, which is to make a kid’s card with scallops. OWH is featuring Lawn Fawn stamps this week, so I decided to pull out this set from my stash and use the raccoon. I colored the log and raccoon with Copic markers and mounted it on the scalloped square die cut. Thanks for stopping by!
For the 365 Cards Color Combo Challenge for Day 184, we were to use these colors:
I chose images from some fun American Crafts “campy” papers I’ve had for a while. The colors fit perfectly and it will make a fun card for a kid in my Operation Write Home box. I trimmed out the animals and popped them up with little fanfare. They seem to speak for themselves! Enjoy your day!
I used Card Patterns Sketch #165 as inspiration to design this card. The digital stamp came to me by way of the Crafters Digital Art Center’s Progressive Freebie Challenge. I colored it with Copic markers with bright and pastel colors. Thanks for visiting today. It is such a busy time right now, my posts have been few and far between!
This is a sparkly birthday card for my great niece. I am getting it to her late, but it has a bunny on it in time for Easter! I used the current card sketch at Card Patterns this week: Sketch #160. I’ve had the image colored for quite some time with Copic markers, but just didn’t find the right combination of papers and sketch for it. I like having the contrasting lights and darks with such busy paper. The sentiment is heat embossed with white embossing powder so that it stands out. And there is a lot of sparkle for a six year old! Thanks for visiting today and Happy Easter!
