Simple Things

I made this card yesterday using Bo Bunny papers, ribbons, Bosskut die cuts, a yellow button, and some rhinestones.

I have so much left over scraps from my scrapbooking pages, I can probably make thousands of cards. I find that making cards are just as time consuming as making pages...maybe it's just me. ^_^

It's Party Time

Another simple birthday card. I used DCWV patterened papers, some buttons, and rub-ons.

Birthday Card

This is a very simple card to make. I used Bo Bunny papers, buttons, red dots ribbon, and a fabric sticker.

Stationary Box w/Cards

Hi all - here is a cute little stationary box I made w/3 cards to go inside. Thanks for looking!!!

Karen

Thanks!

This is one of the cards I made this weekend. I used Deja Vu's baby girl paper line. I thought the paper was pretty enough not to add anything else. All I added was a few rhinestones to add bling to the card.

BIrthday Wishes

These are some of my latest birthday cards.

Just for you

A friend of mine has a friend back in the states who is having a hard time, so I made a random card for her to send to this friend.

New Baby Boy

My friend just had a baby, and part of her gift from me was some handmade baby announcements. They aren't spectacular, but here is what they looked like.



I also did a "keepsake" page for her scrapbook, what was done in the same sort of style as the announcement.

The background paper is DCWV Spring stack 2007.

*HI* Greeting Card

I usually don't make cards on a regular basis, but I've been making alot of them lately. Believe it or not, I still go out and buy cards from a store...I don't know why, but I'm sending out handmade cards from now on. It's much cheaper and I can use up my scraps. ^_^

Materials used:

DCWV blank card & papers, button, Quickutz die cuts.

Happy Spring, Everybody!

This picture is terrible. The card is white in real life. Looking at this picture, I think I'll probably lightly shade the boy and the horse. Anyway, it's a card and I actually posted it. You guys have inspired me to post more!

This is a card designed especially for my Stampin' Up Grandma J...hopefully she won't see it before she receives it in the mail! She is so amazing and is always making cards for my family - for Easter, Valentines Day, Halloween, birthdays, etc.

Happy Spring!

Baby Card

I made this for a friend's baby shower. She had a baby boy. The paper is from the DCWV Spring 2007 stack, and has baby boy related phrases. I used white cardstock for the card. I punched out a circle (about 1") in baby blue cardstock,and then backed it on white cardstock. I punched two little holes (to make it look like a button), and then ran the ribbon through it.

I'm not too happy with how the bow turned out, so any suggestions on that front would be welcome.

I like the overall look well enough that I am using this design for some baby announcements for another friend.

Couple Quick Cards

Hi ladies!!!

Here are a couple quick cards I threw together. I used Marvy Uchida punches for a local contest using them. The first tag card is using Making Memories Garden Party PP's and the second is Daisy D's PP's. Both have faux stitching done with Sharpie Fine Point markers and flowers from Prima. Thanks for looking!!

Card Class Project Ideas

Okay, so I am teaching a card making class for our church's women's auxillary on March 11th. The theme I was given for the class was "Basic cards for every occassion".

I've come up with a few ideas, and I'd like some advice. Each participant will be making 4 cards, and I can't decide on which 4 to use. I won't tell you what my favorites are, 'cause I want some objective advice.

I would greatly appreciate it, if you could take a look at all of them, and let me know which are your 4 favorites. Just leave a comment with the card numbers (I've numbered them all). Be honest, be critical, and if you want, give me some advice on how I can make them better, or other designs I might want to consider.

Thanks!

P.S. Thanks to all of you for the great ideas that I pirated!

Blank Card

This is about the same as the last one but I used little strips of paper for the corners and between the pattern paper and plain. It doesn't show in the picture but it's a burgundy color and matches one of the flowers in the patterned paper.

Kopy Kat

I'm trying to make up a few blank cards to sent shut-ins at church. I sorta copied this from another site. I wanted photo corners but I couldn't figure out to make them so this is what I ended up with.

card file

I haven't posted in a long time so I thought I would look through my card ideas and post a few. I like to get on www.splitcoaststampers.com (absolutely love this site--if you haven't tried it, it is well worth it!!) and find ideas. For a while I was making cards for my MK lady so I would find an idea on SCS site and simplify it. I wish I had saved some of the original ideas to show what I did differently but these aren't cards that I recently made though I am sure if you look up the stamp name, you will find the much more detailed image. This helped me to make mass quantities of cards with less work. Enjoy.

This card uses Lexicon of Love stamp set with some paper that I think I got from Michaels.

Both of these cards (above and below) use the Paris in the Spring stamp set. The one above was for a bridal shower and the bottom one was a thank you card for my MK lady to give to her customers.
