Flower pot card

Here's a card I made in a class that has a flower pot look to it. The materials were from The-Whole-Kit-N-Kabodle. The "flower pot" stays intact and the "flowers" pull out revealing an area where you can write your greeting.

Life changes card

Here's a card I made using some extra paper from a collection by Echo Park and some left over stickers. I used a stamp by Hero Arts for the focal point. I made this card for a fellow member of the Altered Designs Yahoo Group birthday club.

Happy Birthday card

Here's a card I made as a make-and-take at the Boxer Scrapbooks booth at a scrapbook show. The paper in the middle is by Hot off the Press and is called Color Me. It has the look of white embossed background paper and you can custom color it using ink pads, sprays or water colors. This way you always have the exact match to any paper. I inked the edge of the lavender dotted paper and that was it. A real simple card.

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.

Here's a card I made for an anniversary using more of the Hot off the Press papers and Dazzle stickers. This one features two chipboard accents that had coordinating Dazzles. Even the ribbon came with the kit.

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.
