Smile card

Here's a card I made in a class using materials from The-Whole-Kit-N-Kaboodle. I did a bit of inking on the die-cut pieces and then accented the top wings with pop dots for a bit of emphasis.

Happy Birthday candle card

Here's another card I made using papers and peel off Dazzles by Hot off the Press. I used a bunch of the extra papers and stickers to make this card. I used a Fiskars border punch on the blue paper and added a ribbon accent. My final touch was to outline the edge of the card with coordinating blue chalk ink.

A Baby Girl Blessing card

Here's a card I made for a niece that is having a baby girl. This card uses Impression Impression stamps and an image that was printed on acetate. I've got four really cute tiny buttons in the corner. The Paper Cut makes an acetate that you can put through either an ink jet or laser printer depending on which side you print on. You can use your own photos or search for royalty free and copyright photos so you don't have to pay anyone a license fee to use their images. I made this card in a class and wasn't sure I'd ever use it.

You & Me, Me & You card
























Here's a card I made using my Silhouette and stamps by Hero Arts. The stamps create a monotone background on the front of the card. The two intertwined cats were cut using my Silhouette. Inside is another Silhouette image with the words "You & Me, Me & You".

Celebrate Card

Here's a card I made in a class using materials from SEI. It was a great value for the price we got materials to make about 16 cards. All the papers, envelopes and embellishments were included. Some of the embellishments were double sided so if you needed more cards that said one thing vs. another you had the flexibility to do that. Also the papers were double sided and colored a bit different so you got two different cards for each design.

Life's a Stitch card

Here's a card I made for one of my Altered Designs birthday club members. I used stamps by Crafty Secrets and a corner embellishment I made with my Silhouette. I used a border punch on the solid card stock and then added some dark bling for an accent.

Happy Easter!

Here's a bunch of Easter cards I made for my family. The focal point is part of a 12x12" glittery piece of paper by WeR Memory Keepers from their Cotton Tail collection. I used one piece of patterned paper otherwise I made all the backgrounds with the Studio G $1 stamps in coordinating colors. I used a variety of inks and on some embossing powder to create the background paper.

Happy Anniversary Card


  
Here's a card I made for an anniversary. Like a bunch of cards I recently posted about, this one uses papers and Dazzles by Hot of the Press. The blue paper has an inked and torn edge. The chipboard pieces are also from Hot off the Press and one is raised with pop dots.
