Birthday banner pop out card

I love this Elizabeth Craft Design Die set and it's rather fun and easy to make one of these cards.

This one I made for my daughter.

The sentiment are from Stampin Up.

I left the front plain as it will be dispayed open.

Set of Halloween cards

I made this set of Halloween cards to be opened by the recipients in a staggered event.
I mailed all 4 and put specific dates for tgem to be opened...kind of like a surprise throughout the month of October.

 Embossed with Cuttlebug folder and wanted some fun accents, using my 1" punch, punched out 3 circles.

 Then using Martha Stewart spider web border punch, added them behind a couple of the apertures.

 This second card is an embossing folder from Tim Holtz. I inked a little of the tree and added a spooky fence border punch and added a couple halloween dies that I tucked in.

 This third one is the haunted house embossing folder from Cuttlebug, is added some Googlie eyes and Martha Stewart drippy goo border punch to the top.

 The inside of the 3rd card I stamped a skeleton and added more die cards inside.

 This last card for Joe and Kristen I included $20 for treats. I embossed with a weird funky skeleton embossing folder. Added drippy goo border punch pieces where I added single corresponding alphabet stamps to spell out "open if you dare ". Wrapped in green twine to hold their final treat to be opened next week!

Quiet calm card

I bought this stamp set at the Falmouth outdoor craft fair over labor day weekend for $5.00. I spent some time this week and colored three of the images.

This one I made it into a card and mailed it to my daughter on Wednesday however I forgot to take a picture on the proper card. I may have her semd me a picture so I can update this post.

I'm heading to Michael's craft store tomorrow get get proper watercolor markers to use on watercolor 140 pound water cold pressed paper.

Hello from Paris

My quest to use the cast off scraps from cards gone by... after finding a border punched piece and a few butterflies I quickly made this card in 15 mins!

 Die cutting the Tim Holtz/ Sizzix Eiffel Tower from a piece of plastic to use as a mask, I sponge Soft Suede ink over the mask.

 Finding a paper doilie I sponged that all the way around as I wanted it to match, while I thought to lay it down on a piece of cream writing paper, it helped me to make my inside of the card as well as an accent piece.

 Added a couple butterflies and sentiment and the card quickly came together.

Scene card Single layer Thinking of you

I wanted to make a card that perhaps could also be a little art picture for my daughter to be able to hang or leave the card up for a bit.

When I saw this type of sponging on Pinterest it came to mind.

The layer itself is a very thick cardstock raised on foam squares on another layer of white.

My next post, I'll take step by step photos of my process.

I chosed to put the sentiment on the inside as to keep with the thought of a picture / wall hanging that it could mimic.

Bliss card

Made this for my daughter, used all Stampin Up products.

The only items not SU were the teal elastic and the rhinestones

The elegant border punch is one of my favorites so I added it to the inside panel too.
