Butterfly Card



Here's a card I made using materials from... ooops can't remember who. It would be embarrassing to give credit to a company and then discover I'm wrong. Oh well, it was a kit of sorts highlighting the flowers that were cut with different sized dies. Hard to see the glitter here and there but trust me it's there.

Anyway I'm sending this for a wedding anniversary, hope they like it.

Until my next post,

Happy Birthday Card





Yet another card made using the Faux Textured Metal technique. Like the one a couple of weeks ago this one has a detail cut metallic peel off sticker for the sentiment.

Happy Birthday card




Here's a card I made using a technique Jennifer McGuire highlighted on her blog back in August. I don't think mine came out as well as hers since I used a duller paper. I've since changed to a slightly glossy surface that shines a bit better. I added some metallic detailed peal off stickers but kept the card pretty simple.

Birthday Wishes cards




Here's another card made with the Hot off the Press Confetti Card Kit. I took a piece of string and some washi tape and made the flag banner. Otherwise all items are from the kit.

Cook with wine card





Here's a card I made using an Inky Antics stamp over kitchen themed paper by Little Yellow Bicycle. I'm sending it as a birthday card. I stamped the image, scanned in to my computer and cut it out with my Silhouette...no more fussy cutting!! I colored in just a little portion with my Prismacolor pencils.

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.

Until my next post,
