Stripes with a heart in the middle card

I used to follow a lot of crafters online but have whittled them down to a much smaller number. One I really like is Jennifer McGuire. She needed a mojo shot in the arm recently, and so did/do I. The technique she posted isn't new but it does allow for an easy way to crank out a bunch of cards in a short amount of time. I created a few with this technique (posted in future posts) and then decided to play on my own for this one. I used washi tape for the border on this one since it is thinner and then made some stripes with the tape as well. I added a small rhinestone heart in the center and there you go a card.

Happy Birthday card

Here's one more card I made from The Paper Loft one sheet wonder guide. Like a card a posted a couple weeks ago I added a sentiment that I made using my Silhouette. This is another guy card.

Happy Birthday Card

Here's a card I made using materials and instructions from a Paper Crafts card kit that I bought at a show a few years back. The sentiment is a rub on. The instructions called for something else but I wanted to send a birthday card. I'm not very good a tying bows so I cut two pieces, one for the straight piece and the other for the "bow" that is more like a knot.

Wish card

Here's another card I made using papers and designs of The Paper Loft one sheet wonder card set. This one didn't have the blue background but I had extra plain paper left over. I added an embellishment I cut with my Silhouette from some extra plain paper. This is another guy card, hope he likes it.

Thinking of You card

Here's an easy peasy card I made by adding an embellishment to a one sheet wonder type card. The papers and cutting instructions were from The Paper Loft. I added a coordinating dimensional sticker from Kay and Co and just like that a card is complete. It's for a guy so it has less frills and more subdued colors.

Happy Birthday all over the bottom

Here's another card I made using the Rainbow Ribbons Tutorial from Technique Junkies. This card is for a gal thus the brighter washi tape that I substituted for the ribbon. The stamp is from Fiskars.

Happy Birthday in the corner card

Here's a card I made using the Rainbow Ribbons technique from Technique Junkies. This was published in the Aug/Sep 2014 issue. I substituted washi tape for the ribbons. It's for a guy so I used some subdued tapes and a non frilly stamp by See Dee's.

Here's to you turning 29 card

Here's a card I made from a Hot off the Press card kit. I've featured other cards from this kit. The base card and envelopes were NOT provided. Each card is made from a 5x7 card base. You attach their papers and paper embellishments. There are enough embellishments to add to the envelope and papers for the insides of the cards too.

The guy I'm sending this card to isn't 29 (and neither am I; although I do say it's my unofficial - official age). Hope he likes it.

Bella Rose Lattice card

Here's the card I sent for Mother's Day (yes I know it was last month). It is from Heartfelt Creations and has a coordinating die that I didn't purchase. I looked prior to this post and discovered the stamp isn't available anymore on their website. I decided to stamp it twice and use some pop dots to accent the flowers and leaves. I stamped the based with Ranger Pigment and colored it with oil color pencils by Walnut Hollow.  Since I used a pigment ink I needed a dry color otherwise the background would bleed. I stamped the image again and embossed it with fine black powder and used the same coloring technique then cut the flowers and leaves out. This image is versatile and could be used for many occasions.
