Few new cards

using Michael Strong's stamps! I love his stamps. I have 4 more coming, from Jr. and Preston for Christmas, but they were out of stock so are late arriving.

Friday, December 19, 2008

New Idea!

I decided instead of making calendar cards to use frames and then people can hang them on the wall or sit them on their desk. Here is a couple of pictures of those.

Wednesday, December 10, 2008

More cards

Last night I finished Calendar Card #3, made a Chistmas Card and also a Happy New Year Card. The Happy New Year card is a challenge for Michael Strong's group. You had to use something that you would have thrown in garbage. The 2 gold twist ties are part of those things I used. Then my daughter had received a bath set last year for Christmas and she took the stuff out of the box and gave me the box. I took the bead and gold elastic that was used to keep the box shut, and used them on this card!

New Michael Strong rubber stamps

With some of my mom's Christmas money I ordered 2 more of Michael Strong's stamps, and love them! I hope eventually to get all of them!!!
Anyhow, a lady on one of my groups, made cards with small calendars on them, and I got the idea to try some. I have made 2. At the end of each money, the person can tear off that month, and have a small desk calendar for the whole year. I think it is a great gift idea.

Need winter background

Ok, bear with me, I am trying to get winter backgrounds on my blogs and something is wrong. Maybe I will try again tomorrow.

Missie gave me one of the stamps she bought for me, the vase! Here are a couple of cards I made with the vase or part of the vase.

Mosiac Cards

This can be more time consuming, but I think they are sooo pretty. I actually added a "Thank you" on the front of this, and gave it to our associate pastor and his wife for Pastor appreciation. I am almost finished another one that I will post a picture of soon. I got this idea from Judi from the Scrapbooking Lounge on the weekly project.

Sunday, October 26, 2008

Another black and white card

Got the black and white card all done and realized it was too big. There was a certain size it was supposed to be, so today I did another one. Here it is!

Black and white card challenge

This was done for a black and white card challenge on a group I am on. Most of it (except the roses in middle) is from Michael Strong's mosaic frame.

New Technique

Ok, you glue a piece of foil on a piece of cardstock, make sure there are no lumps of glue, and you can use a brayer to flatten the foil nicely. Then run it through the cuttlebug like you would a regular piece of cardstock, and here is what it will look like! Isn't it pretty?

Puzzle pieces!

Well, I have been decorating puzzle pieces. You can buy puzzles at the thrift store very cheap, and decorate them. Here is 6 puzzle pieces decorated for winter. These can be used on cards, or anywhere else you wish to use them!

Christmas tin & snowmen cards

I finished this project tonight to donate to the school for the silent auction.

There are 6 different snowman cards with envies, 2 votives and 2 tea light candles inside of tin.

Think it will sell?

Fall basket and set of 5 fall cards

I decorated a basket for the fall and in it will be these 5 cards pictured and envelopes. I am doing baskets to sell at our school's silent auction on November 5. The next one I will do is a Christmas basket with some Christmas cards in it and a small champagne glass with a candle in it. I tried to use saran wrap to cover the baskets and their contents but that didn't work too well. Where can I get the stuff professional people use to put over their baskets?

Winner of card contest

http://groups.yahoo.com/group/HappyRubberStamping/

I own the above group and we had a fall card contest. Missie, my 14 yr. old daughter won the contest; here is her winning card. She even beat her ole momma, now what do you think about that?

Cuttlebug embossing border folders

For my birthday I got a set of 4 embossing folders for my cuttlebug. They actually didn't arrive until we had moved here. I made a card using the the flower border folder and the with love (which is yellow on the card and hard to see)

The blue/orange on white card was made with an ATC on front, that someone had sent me.

Then there is the blue/purple card, I kind of like those colors together too.

I love the Friends card; the background is flowered vellum.

Sorry Folks!

We have moved from SC to IN and are getting settled, so haven't had much time for card making. Hopefully in the next few days I will have some new creations to post pictures of!

Cards with ATCs on them

I have been using some of the over 600 ATCs that I have to put on cards! I have pictured several that I have done in the last few days.

Sunday, August 24, 2008

More Christmas Cards

I made about 7 Christmas cards the other evening. I have decided to use my over 600 ATCs and make cards with them! So some of these have ATCs on them that were sent to me.

Cutting a rubber stamped image.....

into 4 equal parts! I have been doing that today and made a couple of cards. It gives the effect of looking through a window. I love the blue one, as blue is my favorite color.

Sunday, August 17, 2008

Christmas cards already?

Last night I made 4 Christmas cards, and used cuttlebug backgrounds. They are not real elaborate, but I enjoyed making them.

Friday, August 1, 2008

I am in the mood for fall

Fall won't be long arriving at this rate!
I made 3 fall cards, and used 1 inch circles on them as well as other things.
I love the fall colors. I found the untraditional leave background paper today at Hobby lobby on sale. I enjoyed making these cards.

Thursday, July 31, 2008

Fall and butterfly/flower cards

Last night I put together 2 cards using some inchies on each card.
I love doing fall cards; using fall colors, so one is a fall card and the other is another love of mine: butterflies!

Wednesday, July 30, 2008

Fancy Fold Cards

I made some more fancy fold cards; joy fold cards actually, and I LOVE making these.
Also, I have several Christmas cards done. So will post pictures.

Finished Products using Inchies and Twinchies

After you get the inchies and twinchies done, it doesn't take too long to whip up a card using them. Here are my finished products that I made today, using my inchies and twinchies.

Monday, July 28, 2008

Inchies and Twinchies

I made several inchies and twinchies today! Made a bunch for fall cards and some Christmas ones too, and a set of 5 pet ones (dogs and cats.) It was fun. Now to put them on a card. The picture of the Fall ones isn't very easy to see, sorry about that. I will have to take pictures of them separately then post the picture again.

Joy Fold Cards

I received a splitcoaststamper weekling inkling yesterday and it was for a joy fold card. I had sooo much fun making these last night! I am picturing a couple of them. They are fun and easy to make.

Tuesday, July 15, 2008

Inchies

I have had some asking what "inchies" are. They are 1 inch square pieces of paper and you decorate them as you wish to use on your cards, etc. I had so much fun today playing with these!

"Inchies" Card

I made an "inchies" card today and love how it turned out. Just wanted to share.

2 Double pocket cards

I finished 2 double pocket cards today. One is fall, and the other is for anytime.
I will picture them with tags in and tags out.

Card with pkg. of seeds

It was a challenge on another group besides my own, to make a card with a pkg. of seeds in it. So I made a pocket on this card and put the seed packet inside.

Paper bag book!

Ok, I made my 1st paper bag book out of brown lunch bags for my best friend's birthday. She lives in Arkansas and is not online, so I can put pictures of it on her without worrying that she will see them. This was fun to make. When you cut the flaps off of the bottom of the lunch bags and then fold them over and punch holes and use ribbon to keep them all together, there are actually pockets. I decorated both sides of the pockets and made inserts for the pockets. Here is where I learned how to do this.

Paper Clippies

I think these are so cute. I cut the flowers out with my cuttlebug and then use brads to put them together and glue them on a large paperclip. These are great embellishments for cards! Selling 8 of these for $5 and that includes the postage.

2 pocket card

Today's challenge on happyrubberstamping was a 2 pocket card. Here is mine. I hope to make some more of these. The card does not open. You put the sentiments on the tags you put in the 2 pockets.

Here is a tutorial for the 2 pocket card. It is really simple to make.

Brown/Blue color combo. cards

I love these colors together too!

Here is a few I have finished using the dark brown/blue combo.

They are nicer when you see them than in the pictures. I have a lot of windows in my kitchen, which I love, but when I take pictures of cards on the table, they seem too light, because of the sunshine.

Thursday, April 3, 2008

New cards!

I found on a lady's blog, instructions on how to take 3 co-ordinating colors of scrapbook paper = 12 x 12 and make 10 cards with these pieces. I used plain white cards from Hobby Lobby and here are my 10 cards! Any comments? I love this color combination!

Wednesday, March 12, 2008

Men's Cards

I made 3 men's cards last night: 1 get well, 1 happy birthday and 1 sympathy. For some reason the picture isn't as sharp as the cards are; might be the bright sunlight coming in our many windows in our home. Anyhow, they are kind of plain, but what man likes frills and bows???

Easter cards

My friend, Hannah came over Fri. night and we made Easter cards. Here are pictures of 10 Easter cards! I have been having fun because I saw somewhere that you take 3 different colors of scrapbook card stock paper and if you cut it out just right (I printed up the measurements) you can make 10 cards with the pieces. I also used that method to do the yellow/blue cards. I usually ended up with not all the pieces, so just winged it at the end.

Enjoy these cards! The ones I don't sell, I am sending to the shut-ins from our church.

Blue and Yellow make a pretty combo!

I used 2 shades of blue and yellow and made some cards. I really like the color combos! The dark blue is stamped with a background stamp. Also I did a purple and yellow card which is also pretty. I used a versamark stamp pad and a rubber stamp to do the background, works great!

I have enjoyed making these cards! More to come, as time permits.

Have a wonderful week.

Friday, February 22, 2008

My cards

I am posting pictures of some of the cards I am making. When I try to crop them and make the background smaller, then it won't show the entire card. I don't know why, but that is why I have had to leave the background on the last cards I have posted.

Anyhow, I love making cards! It is my therapy! It is very relaxing for me. I sell them, too. At Christmas I sold about 50 cards! If you want something special and wish to order from me; let me know.
