Happy Anniversary Card




Here's a card I made using the techniques in this Club Scrap post. Instead of masking tape I used washi tape. The paper in the background is some left over from K&Co. I used Ranger Dye inks, stamped two of the corners and then added a bit of bling to the other two. I goofed and used a corner punch on two corners but it isn't the same punch so I added the bling to try and camouflage it a bit.

Until my next post,

Accessorize of exercise card





Here's a card I made using some more scrap paper from a Hot off the Press card kit. I added the Inky Antics gal and her sentiments then colored her in with some colored pencils. I used my Silhouette to cut the stamped images so no fussy cutting required!

Hilarious Card




Here's a card I made using some left over materials from a Hot off the Press card kit. I stamped on the patterned paper, added the Hilarious sticker and also the Happy Birthday stamp. Actually I'm the one that keeps staying at 29 but I thought the combo of the two made for a sort of funny but not necessarily hilarious card.

Happy Anniversary card




Here's a card I made using the Club Scrap Curvy Woven Card technique. I needed to make a card in a hurry so this technique worked great for me. I didn't really mix up the papers anywhere as much as they did. I used some left over paper from an old Basic Grey collection called Indian Summer. One of the papers had stripes of all the other patterns so I used strips of that instead.

Celebrate Card






Here's yet another card I made using some materials from a Hot off the Press Confetti Cake Artful Card Kit. I had a stamp with the word Celebrate and lucky for me it fit right in the middle of this embellishment.

Hugs and Kisses Card



Yes I know Valentines Day was this past Sunday but I post on Wednesdays. At least that's my story and I'll stick to it.

This is the card I gave to hubby. I made it using the Faux Fresco technique from Splitcoaststampers. I used a Cuttlebug embossing folder and Galaxy markers for the coloring. The tutorial says to use white craft paint but next time I think I'll use Gesso as I have much more of that and think the look would be the same. I cut out the sentiment using my Silhouette and used a gem over the letter "i" since I lost the dot.

Celebrate card










Here's another card I made using some materials from a Hot off the Press Confetti Cake Artful Card Kit. Like the card last week I added the sentiment from a Creative Imaginations embellishment set.

Eating Cake Card



Here's a card I made using some materials from a Hot off the Press Confetti Cake Artful Card Kit. I added the main sentiment from a Creative Imaginations embellishment set. On the inside I stamped "Birthdays are nature's way of telling us to eat more cake".  It seemed to fit.

Merry Christmas (cards)









I don't send too many home made cards for Christmas, just to the immediate family. I don't think most folks appreciate or understand the effort required to make a card so they get the store bought ones. Even though these cards were from a kit my family understands the time it takes and like getting them.

These were from Hot off the Press card kits. I've mentioned this many times but they make very nice kits. I supplied the envelopes and card base (solid paper) and adhesive. The Dazzles have an "outey" and an "innie" and frugal folks can often get twice the number if you plan accordingly.
 

Until my next post (which will be next year),

100 Acre Wood Gang...and me!





Last year hubby and I went to Disney World during the holiday season. We went to Mickey's Christmas party and he got a photo of me with my bestest buddy Tigger along with Winnie-the-Pooh, Piglet and Eeyore.  A blog post from October Afternoon, a paper craft company, got me thinking I could do this technique with a photo of my own. I googled Photoshop and Polaroid and found this one that worked well for me.
