Dream

Sometimes, I can sit for hours and make just one card. Other times, I'm hit with a creative streak and I can make three to four cards in an hour. Does that ever happen to you?

I had one of those days when creative juices were flowing through me.

I made the envelope with vellum paper.

And I used lace and ribbon on the card to add dimension and texture.

Thanks for stopping by. Hope you have a wonderful week!

Birthday Card

Here's a birthday card I made for my Dad.

(Happy Birthday, Dad!)

I made die cuts with my Big Shot.


I used glitter stickers and covered them with fun flock.

Holiday Cards

Here's a look at my holiday cards. I wasn't able to send my cards out before Christmas but I did get them out before the New Year!

The theme was a little tropical. I used transparency paper and tucked our family photo inside the card. The starfish die cut is by Paper House. I traced the die cut with Stickles to add glitter.

Thanks for stopping by. I wish you peace for the New Year and always, and many creative blessings!

Thank You cards

The last few months have been pretty busy for me. Still making cards but haven't found time to post. Here are a couple of quick and easy Thank You cards I made for a friend of mine.

I used stickers for this Thank You card.

I got this idea from a stamp show I attended last year.

I purchased the tag from The Orange Sparrow on Etsy.

I love the work and details she put into the tag.

Thank you for stopping by and keeping me on your blog rolls. I'll post more soon! Stay warm everyone.

Birthday Cards

Here are a few birthday cards my sister and I made....

My sister made this one using justjohanna's OBP stamps.

She used glitter and pop dots.

This one I made using ready-glitter stickers.

Instead of glitter, I used fun flock.

Here's another card I made using Urban Lily designer paper.

I like to cut out words from DP's and used it as a sentiment for the card.

Welcome Baby

I love these fun stamps from justjohanna's OBP.

I cut out the sling and placed the baby in it and I used pop dots to add dimension.

Gnomes

I usually start thinking about my holiday card designs at this time of the year. Time always seems to fly by for me when Halloween comes around. Here are a couple of holiday cards I made using justjohanna's Odd Bird Planet stamps.

Score!

Oh my, I didn't realize it's been awhile since I've posted anything. Time flies when you're having fun helping your kids with their homework and school projects.

Here's my entry for the Caardvarks Score challenge. I was thinking of a creative way to box my cards. I wanted to design a package that had a clear window so that the cards were in plain view and here's what I came up with.....

I scored 110 lb. white cardstock to make the box. For the cover, I used transparency paper. I use transparency films for copiers because they're thicker and cheaper. They're also durable enough to wet and dry emboss. To soften the corners, I rounded the edges with a round corner punch. For the finishing touch, I wrapped the box with ribbon. Sweet and simple!
