Dream Big card

This is another card I made in a class by Technique Tuesday. We used some of their chipboard accents that we colored with the direct to paper technique. The colors and brads definitely make it a masculine card. After the class was over we still had some supplies left over so it was a good value.

Wishes card

Here's a card I made in a class by Technique Tuesday. They have a bunch of really small stamps that you can use to make borders or repetitive patterns. We used a bit of stickles but it is still a masculine card. The accent is ribbon that we distressed a bit and then stamped on it.

Simply the Best...Ever card

Sometimes when I've attended classes you don't get to finish everything in the allotted time period. Some classes are actually built that way. I've been in some where you work on 4-5 cards and then get materials to complete 2-3 more on your own (with instructions or at least pictures) at a later date. This card is one of those. I took a class last year sponsored by Technique Tuesday. This is one of the cards I made later. The background is actually a really small stamp repeated. I took a couple of classes with them and liked them all. Most of their stamps are pretty small but with repeated stamping you can create great background paper of your own.....why do I still buy printed paper then?!?!

I made this card for Mother's Day and hopefully my mother-in-law will have a great day.

Thinking of You Card

Here's another card I made in a Technique Tuesday class. Hubby and I just learned a friend was diagnosed with cancer. Here's hoping she does well with her treatment.

Happy Birthday card

Here's a card I started making at a class last year and then finished at home. The earth tones work great for a guy card. The class was hosted by Technique Tuesday and they supplied items to make most of the cards. This one had the design items but I used my own "Happy Birthday" and "Celebrate" stamps to finish it. You can't see the Celebrate portion because it is inside one of the folds. This is one of those cards that looks hard to do but it is really easy. Splitcoast stampers calls their version a Tri-Shutter card and I'm pretty sure Technique Junkies has one but I can't remember their name. I used Inque and Fiskars stamps for my words.

Just Because Card

One of my fellow stamper friends recently had surgery. I follow her blog and have been emailing her on and off for a few years and finally actually talked to her the other day. This card is to wish her well during her rehab and hope she is in the fast lane on the road to recovery.

I made this card in a class using Technique Tuesday stamps and inks. They make some very small stamps but have great ideas to make big things from small things like the little border stamps. When you put them together it looks great...at least I think so.

Steampunk ATC

This is my first actual attempt to make a Steampunk themed ATC. I made it for the Stampers Corner Yahoo Group. I like the images that go with this theme and want to explore it more so that will be my next search to find more "stuff". For this ATC I used a stamp by Technique Tuesday for the left border. The other stamps are from a set by 7 Gypsies. I'm not sure where I got the image I cut out but I thought it would work with this theme. I added a few watch parts on top of the gear stamp.
