Random Cards

Here are a few cards I've put together recently.

"You look great" card is a donation card for a lady who needs 1500 cards for a charity function - you can read all about it here this will take you to a post at My Pink Stamper.  I only made one - I might put a few more together - the sentiment is from Create with TLC.

I've been using natural kraft as a card base a lot lately - the rest of the paper is just from my stash - paper flowers coloured with copics, tiny bit of machine stitching and some ribbon - I thought the heart brads with some stickles would bling it up a bit!

Next up is a baby card - a co worker had a little baby girl.  I just love this card - I change it around for boy or girl and make it quite often. Anyone who owns an original cuttlebug received the folder with the baby carriage but it had a number on it that I didn't like.  I took the number off with an xacto knife - I also use the die that came with it as well - I use the Swiss dots folder and stamp the 'precious' sentiment on the bottom. This card is all bazzil card stock.

The last card is a flowerpot card - I send this off in a package to my mom.  It was a card template that I purchased from The Cutting Cafe - I ended up cutting it on my cricut with Sure Cuts Alot.  It is a simple design, you can cut the base by hand and used punched flowers of layer circles to fill up the card with flowers.  I' also used the cuttlebug on the flower pot - I used co ordinations card stock and sanded it out a bit. You could really get creative with this one!

Hybrid Birthday Card

Seems like I only get to play along at 365 Cards on Sundays!  Well one day is better than none! Today is day 188 and Sunday is always (...wait for it!) - Super Sketchy Sunday - a terrific sketch that I sort of turned upside down!

I'm calling this a hybrid card for 2 reasons -  I have used a digital sentiment from Create with TLC and  I scanned in some paper that I wanted to use but my piece (green behind the bikes) was too short. I also scanned in the blue from my triangle and printed my sentiment right onto it so it would all match.

My card is 3 3/4 x 9 on natural kraft. The patterned paper is old but one of my favourites - Carolyn Gavin Greenhouse mat pad.

Below is the sketch and my card, hope you can play along - happy Sunday & thanks for stopping by!

Divide & Conquer @ 365 Cards

Day 188 at 365 Cards - divide & conquer - create 6 separate sections on your card.....well I knew I had some time today to make a card, just didn't plan on having it divided up in 6 equal parts - I'm not one for straight lines and exact measurements  - I like things to have lots of straight lines but have a skewed placement...HOWEVER...here is my card for todays challenge - digi image by Elizabeth Dulemba (notice I left her name right on the image..lol...I had already done the exact measurements and didn't think white out would look good on the card), mm paper for the apron and card, bazzil card stock for the base - the image was coloured with copics, along with the ribbon - oh buttons are basic grey.

Day 124 ~ shades of purple

This week at 365 cards the challenges have all been about colour ~ today is all about the colour purple!  I love purple - 3 shades of purple are required.

I coloured the digi image - I do not recall who owns this image, the file is AKVBD Party - if anyone knows please let me know so I can add it to the file name - it is very cute.  The paper is Basic Grey Kioshi and the card stock is Bazzill.  The little tab is a quickcutz die.
That's it for me ~ so glad it is Friday ~ have a fabby weekend and thanks for stopping by!

BIG Birthday Card ....happy birds!

Happy Sunday - today I made a card for a challenge at 365 Cards - haven't had the chance to make a card for a challenge for quite some time!  I needed to make a birthday card and I wanted to make a big card! So it fit for the challenge that Pam had on day 97.  The card needs to be 8.5 x 5.5 - that's it! Making a card this size is fun and it costs the same to mail as 5.5 x 4.25 ...ok that is provided you don't weight it down with a ton of emblishments!

For my card I used bazzil card stock & the Basic Grey line Green at Heart.  The orange is sage (I can't make the connection to the colour orange and the name sage but hey who am I to judge?!) the green is moss and the multicolour is vert.  The images are by Dawn Moore Lost in Paper Scraps - thanks again Dawn! Images are coloured with copics, matted & pop dotted.

Here is my card - thanks for stopping by & have a great Sunday!

Day 27 @ 365 Cards...I'm Touched...

Ok here are the deets of this challenge - check it out for yourself at 365 cards. It was a tough one..
This is what Pam asked for:
On this card, you need to have at least 8 elements (not counting the cardstock or any background paper) and here's the challenge - all those elements must overlap with at least 2 other elements.

Well I started this card on Monday for Mondays challenge at 365 but didn't get a chance to finish it. Saturday is almost over, but I made it work for todays challenge.
The card was made from an image I downloaded.  I colored this with Prismas (& mineral spirits) and I also used some Copic markers.  Background paper is Basic Grey - lime rickey. Flowers were colored with copics, brads were added and the stamp is from Hero Arts, it is a new set I just purchased called 'thoughtful'

So has anyone seen Alice in Wonderland yet?...
Thanks so much for stopping by~ Have a Happy Day!
