Happy Anniversary card

Like last weeks card I used some stencils I haven't used in quite a while. For this one I used some chalks. I didn't quite get the detail I was hoping for but it's acceptable. The stencil came with a Thank You sentiment but since I'm sending this as an anniversary card I covered that portion with painters tape and then used a rubber stamp.

Hooked on you card

I decided to use some stencils I had hanging around for this an next weeks card. This one has the sentiment inside -- Hooked on you. I used an embossing folder on the outside of the card.

You rock my world card

This card is like last weeks. I used a wooden backed rubber stamp but this time I cut the stamped image in four. I'm using it as a birthday card for someone special.

Happy Anniversary card

Here's a card where I used a wooden backed rubber stamp and then cut it in half to put the sentiment in the middle.

Number One Fan card

This card without the frames and sentiment was part of a one-sheet-wonder. I wasn't keen on it as it was so I added the two embellishment frames and the sentiment.

Today is the day card

Yet another card I made with the Spun Sugar card kit by Hot off the Press. For this card I added the two beige flourishes that I cut with my Silhouette.

With Love card

Here's another card I made using the Spun Sugar card kit from Hot off the Press. They provide a few examples but then the rest is up to the creator...me. The embellishment on the left and right was actually one piece but one of their examples showed as card with it cut in half and displayed like this. I thought it was a good idea so I did it on this card.

Dream Big card

This is almost exactly like last weeks card. Except for the border I cut with the Silhouette it is made entirely with materials from the Spun Sugar card kit by Hot off the Press.

Wishes are magic card

I used to go to all the local craft and stamp shows. I also went to some of these longer retreat type events. Many people that went to things like that would either make ATC's or gather their scraps and give them away. I did too. The multi striped background of this card is a piece of paper I got from one of these shows. It had been hanging around for years and I finally found a use for it. the other two tan colored papers were left over from some other card project. I can't remember when or where I hade this tag but I decided they all went together so I created this card.

Best Wishes Card

Here's a card I made using some left over scraps from and unknown collection. I had the Best Wishes greeting from a pack of 5-6 sentiments and thought it coordinated well.

You are a treat card

Here's another card I made from the Shape It CD by Technique Junkies. I made a few changes. I decided to use a real straw and just cut it. I used far less bubbles than theirs and somehow my measurements were off so instead of two I have three panels on the glass part of the card.

Happy Anniversary

This is the last of three card I used from the Spun Sugar card kit by Hot off the Press. I added the pearl flourish and also the single pearls on the green paper flourish. I also tried to maximize my use of the paper so I added the patterned paper to a brown background paper. the pink/mauve paper with the intelligible handwriting also came from my stash. It's actually from an ATC kit.

Best Wishes card

This is the second of three card I made using the Spun Sugar card kit from Hot off the Press. All items were from the kit and I'm sending it as an anniversary card. My only addition was to ink the edges of the paper.

Take time to smell the coffee

Here's a card I made for a birthday Using the Technique Junkie Newsletter Shape it CD. I've had this CD for a while but had it in a place I don't often look. I was looking for something else and rediscovered the great card ideas and decided to use one. I couldn't find my paper crimper but happened to have some corrugated cardboard and used that instead.

The stamps are a combo of Hero Arts and Impression Obsession.

Youth is the gift of nature card #2

It's difficult to see with this scan but I used my score pal to create a diagonal pattern and then used an old stamp set from See Dee's. This is the same sentiment as last weeks card.
