- Cardstock – BoBunny Back to Backs (Brilliant Blue Dot)
- Sakura Gelly Roll Pen – ClearStar
- (Inside) Action Wobble Spring
This is a fun card for my niece’s birthday. Although it is difficult to see (I refrained from including a little video showing the boing action of the spring-y sentiment inside!), the sentiment on the interior of the card wobbles on a little spring. Since I’ve just taken a quick Online Card Classes Insider class, I’m trying to pay more attention to the innards of my cards. I’ve had these little springs, so I wanted to use one for this. Below is a photo of the inside sentiment. I used Sketch 105 at Freshly Made Sketches for my design inspiration, and added a little sparkle with the Gelly Roll pen on the main image and the dotted line border around it. Thanks for visiting today!

Hi there. Today’s card features a hedgehog driving a dump truck. Yes, its true! I colored this image with Copic markers and added a little bit of bling at the tires. The Midweek Throwdown challenge at Operation Write Home this week is to create a card featuring transportation. I figure this guy fits the bill. The design was inspired by Freshly Made Sketches Sketch #88.

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 was inspired to create this card based on the Clean and Simple 2 class I’m currently taking on Online Card Classes. The instructor for this technique was Shari Carroll. I created the background using shipping labels stamped with my background stamp, cut-up, and then off-set. I colored the butterfly stamped image with Distress markers and edged with Distress ink. More Distress ink was added to the background with the pearls. This was a very fun technique to try and the Penny Black stamp is really beautiful. Thanks for stopping by.

The card was created using the current card sketch at Unscripted Sketches #187. Thanks for stopping by today.

I used a classic design for this card: Sketch 56 at Freshly Made Sketches. The focal point is a lovely sticker by Penny Black. The colors are just on the edge of traditional–a little brighter than the standards. Thanks for stopping by.
