For this birthday card, I used the Clean and Simple Stamping Sketch #236. I trimmed out the stamped dog and colored the cake with Sakura Gelly Roll pens. A clean and simple card indeed. Thanks for visiting!
I love this card design! I made it by following a tutorial by Sandy Allnock, Executive Director at Operation Write Home (OWH). It is right up there with the Origami neckties that my son and I make every year for OWH! The details are really nice, especially the scored lines that emulate tucks in the shirt and the gold buttons. It was lots of fun to make and I hope to make more to ship off prior to the Father’s Day deadline of April 30th for OWH. Enjoy, and thanks for stopping by!
Here is a great rabbit from The Cat’s Pajamas! I colored him with Copic markers and surrounded him with polka dots! I made up the design–didn’t borrow the design from any sketch this time around. I based my color pallet on the colors in the Glitz tape. Thanks for visiting today, and if possible, Go Forth and Eat Cake!
Several of the stamps I used for this card are some of my very first purchased, circa 14 years ago! The stamps I used with Distress inks on the tag are brand new from Hot Off the Press. This is my first Father’s Day card for Operation Write Home this year. Our deadline is the end of April, so I need to get busy. I used Sketch #72 at Cardabilities for design inspiration. It took me forever to make this card–I just kept messing around with it! Thanks for checking things out today!
I made a clean and simple card with the current sketch at Unscripted Sketches #204. These papers are pretty loud, so they kind of are front and center on this card! But I think it makes a cheery birthday card with festive colors. Thanks for visiting.
I made this card for the Operation Write Home Midweek Throwdown: Tags ‘n Twine.” I used the card sketch for Day 90 at 365 Cards for design inspiration. I created the tag by applying Ranger Distress inks (Weathered Wood and Scattered Straw). I then spattered it with water for a little visual interest, edged it with the same blue ink I stamped the sentiment with, and then added the baker’s twine. The distressed look of the tag worked well with the patterned paper I chose for the background. I love the die cuts I made with the Hero Arts die! I’m going to have to play with those chevrons some more! Thanks for stopping by today.
I made this card for the OWH Midweek Throwdown Challenge: Stripes. That was for midweek – LAST week, so I’m pretty behind. I colored this cupcake along with Sandy Allnock, Executive Director of Operation Write Home, during an online Copic Marker tutorial she did a couple of weeks ago. I could use some more practice! Well, thank you for visiting!
I crafted this card using the Operation Write Home Sketch #165 on the Stars and Stamps blog. I eeked out one last Mom card before the deadline for Mother’s Day and Mom cards! I never make as many as I’d like. Life (and mostly work!) gets in the way! I thought this pretty floral patterned paper would be perfect for a Mom card. Thanks for visiting today.
I wanted to get one more Mother’s Day card finished for the Operation Write Home deadline coming up at the the end of the month! This was a quick one I did, inspired by the Online Card Classes “Pattern Play” course – Day 1. I was able to showcase several different patterned papers from a 6 X 6″ paper pad I recently acquired by My Mind’s Eye. It fulfilled the 20 Minutes or Less Time’s Up challenge at 365 Cards as well! Hurray! Enjoy and have a great day!
I created this main background paper by combining the Karen Foster paper and branch background stamp listed above. I learned this technique from Day 2 of the Online Card Classes Pattern Play class, which has really been a great class. Thanks for stopping by.
