One Layer Wonder

My best friend Christine is on the design team for Digi Design House and their challenge right now it One Layer cards.  Wow, talk about a challenge.    I like layers; cardstock layers, patterned paper layers, etc.  So making a card with no layers was very hard for my brain to figure out.  The 3 images are from a DDH set called "A Dog's Life".  The 2 sentiments are from CTMH and The Angel Company.    Don't know who the buttons are from, but I got them at my local scrapbook store.   Used Copics to color in the images.   And the paper is from PaperTrey Ink. 

Operation Write Home also has a challenge this week, theirs is a color challenge.   Make a card using green and purple.   I hope this card counts.  lol   :)

Birthday Butterfly

My wonderful best friend, Christine, made an awesome butterfly card (seen here) using a digital stamp by Digi Design House.   And I had to copy it.    I used a digital stamp from Tiffany Doodles, and made mine a birthday card. 

The cardbase is Bazzill Smoothie, the blue patterned paper that is used as matting is from Making Memories, and the white cardstock is Georgia Pacific.   The white ribbon is from Michael's and the brads are from a long time ago, so can't remember where I got them.   The sentiment was computer generated, printed at the same time I printed the digital stamp.  Colored in with Copics.

Easter Cards

I set out to make Easter cards to send to Operation Write Home and then realized I missed the deadline.   Oh well.  I have a craft sale coming on April 16th, so they will be displayed for that. 

The image on the first one is from Digi Design House.   Colored it in with Copics, the white cardstock is from Georgia Pacific, and the purple is Bazzill Smoothies.   Used the Distressed Stripes Cuttlebug folder.  Sentiment was made on the computer.

The digital image on this card is by Universe Shatam.  (She is French.)   Also colored in with Copics, the "patterened paper" is a pdf document that my best friend, Christine, created.  (She ROCKS.)   The white cardstock is Georgia Pacific, the brown cardstock is Bazzill Smoothies, and the purple is from Hobby Lobby.   I did stamp "Happy Easter" near the cross, just forgot to take a new picture. 

A new way to emboss

Well, I got my 5 day weekend, boss gave me the Friday after Thanksgiving off, but I didn't get much done.   Nothing worth taking pictures of.   

I did however get an early Christmas present.  My dad bought me a flat screen TV for my craft room!!     I did a little online shopping on Friday and Saturday.   Then tired to buy a few things on Cyber Monday, but that didn't work, so went to Best Buy with dad to get his new TV and mine.  

Before the holidays I did get this card made.   I had seen a YouTube tutorial on embossing cardstock and leaving part of it blank (not embossed).    After finding a wooden mat on clearance at a scrapbook store, I played around with it.   This is how it turned out.  The paper is Georgia Pacific, so not very thick, otherwise I think the embossing would show more.   The stamp is by TAC, it was a special for October.  It is part of the mini-me set that goes with Wonder and Joy.   You can check out The Angel Company here.  The blue and purple cardstock is Bazzill and the ribbon is from either Wal-Mart or Michaels. 

Happy Thanksgiving Card

I just love this stamp from The Angel Company.  It is a hostess stamp called "One of a Kind".  The leaves were cut from the scarecrow stamp from the "Filled with Blessings" set.  And the sentiment is from the "Trendy Greetings" stamp set.  You can check out TAC here.

The brown cardstock is from TAC, the yellowish paper is a retired color from Stampin' Up, and the leaf patterned paper is from . . . . shoot, I didn't keep the part of the paper that says where it is from.   Sorry.    The tag on the card was cut on my Cricut from the George and Basic Shapes cartridge.   I colored the image in with Copics.

I just love how card turned out.  Cutting out those little leaves was a lot of work, but TOTALLY worth it. 

Boys Will be Boys

I have been in my craft room all day today, but why do the creative juices wait until 5:30pm to kick in?   I could have gotten 4 cards done today, but no I had to wait until the end of the day to get 1 done.    But it is a great card, so it is all good.   :o)

This adorable little guy is by The Angel Company, he is part of a new stamp set called "Boys Will Be Boys".    I think my cousin, Peter, tried this when he was a kid, but instead of a fan, he used the roof of their house and a giant snowbank underneath.  (kids don't try this at home)  You can see this cute stamp and all the rest of the great products that TAC carries, at my awesome friend, Christine's website.

(I wish I could take better pictures.)

I got the kraft paper from a store in my town that closed last winter, so don't know the name of it.   The blue cardstock is Stampin' Up.   The white paper that the image is on, is Caboodle by TAC, the other white is Georgia Pacific, and the patterned paper is by 3BugsinaRug.    Isn't that a great name!!   I colored with Copics

If Friends were Flowers. . .

I just love this stamp.  It is a hostess stamp from The Angel Company.   Just have a $100 or more party and this stamp is yours.    Check out my friend, Christine's website here.   

The card was made using one of Christine's weekly sketches on her blog.   The paper packet is from The Angel Company, it is one of their new papers called Maggie.   The cardstock is Bazzill, and the stamp was colored in with Copics.   The sentiment stamp is by Close to My Heart. 

I've been tied up!!

This card started off as a Get Well card then it turned into a Belated Birthday card.   I made it using the Sketch from Christine, that she posted last Wednesday.   See her here.   When I was done with the card, it also worked for the "Bring in the Brown" challenage on Splitcoast Stampers for World Card Making Day challenages from Saturday, Oct 2nd.  

The mouse is a digital image from Dustin Pike, Doodle Dragon Studios.  LOVE his stuff.   The paper is from CTMH.  The sentiments were computer generated. 

(Wow, my pictures are horrible, someone needs to show me how to use my fancy camera.)
