Simply Handmade card

Here's a card I made for my sister-in-law for her birthday. I can't remember who made the paper but I know the stamps are all by Hero Arts.

Happy Bloggerversary to me!

Today marks my 3rd anniversary in the world of blogging. I haven't been keeping up very well this year. I got bitten by the genealogy bug so next year one of my resolutions is to spend a bit more time with the living than with the dead!

I didn't make an ATC for the entire year. I'm not promising I'll make them for 2012 but I do have some ideas to incorporate some family photos and mementos into my craft projects so I can do crafting and genealogy at the same time!

My craft resolutions are to use my Silhouette more and also to use my camera more.

Here's wishing you all a safe and prosperous 2012!

Until my next post,

Merry Christmas!

I actually made more than just these cards for Christmas but in a rush to mail them I forgot to photograph them so these were the ones I hadn't sealed when I remembered to post them on the blog. These were made from a kits by WeR Memory Keepers.

Best Wishes Card

Here's a card I made for some good friends that are celebrating an anniversary. Like the birthday card I posted about the other day it is made with products from Hot Off the Press. All the hearts are backed with paper then cut out. This card used a design by Boxer Scrapbooks, they sell lots of Hot off the Press items.

Cycles Birthday Card

Here's a birthday card I made for a nephew of mine. He's beyond riding a tricycle now and still has some other forms of riding to look forward to as he gets older. The stamps are all by Hero Arts. I saw the technique of using the embroidery floss as tassels on another card so I can't claim it as my own.

Happy Birthday card

Here's a card I made for my niece. It uses papers and Dazzles by Hot off the Press. Dazzles are intricate laser cut stickers that have both an inner part and an outer part. This one uses the out part. The Dazzles appear delicate but are actually pretty sturdy. There is paper behind all but two of the balloons and ribbons. If you don't like dealing with sticky things that sometimes have a mind of your own you might want to stay away. But if you like beautiful embellishments that can become the focal point of your card and have patience then get some.
