Hello friends!!
I am just popping in with some cards for some challenges. I love summer because I am able to spend time in my craft room. However, I should be cleaning it rather then creating. It is a MESS!!!
The first card I created was for Freshly Made Sketches #697. Last week I dies from Spellbinders Small and Large Die of the Month Club and die cut a ton of images. I decided to use the die cuts from the Large Die of the Month for my card. One thing that I had a lot of fun with is picking through all my paper scraps for my cutting.
Below is the sketch I used for my card. I am also going to enter this into this weeks Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge-Anything Goes.
I dug out my Christmas Paper Pads to augment my card. The paper is from Penny Black Festive & Frosty paper pad.
I used a scrap of Basic Grey paper for the blue strips. How I wish that paper company still existed!!!
The little border is a die from Spellbinders and the embossing folder is Twirling from Simon Says Stamp. The sentiment is a sticker from Tim Holtz idea-ology Christmas Stickers.
My next card that I created is for the Jingle Belles Challenge. It was a Tic-Tac-Toe challenge and I chose the first column down-animal, die cut, red.
I started by embossing the white background using the Twirling embossing folder.
I used a little mouse that was from my stash but I believe is from Lawn Fawn. I think it was a Stamptember stamp purchase?
I had a blast making the red panel with different shades of red Distress Stain. I added some white acrylic paint and some foundry wax when the stain was dry.
I am not sure who made the sentiment. It was in my stash.
My last card is NOT a Christmas card. I created it for my husband's friend's 60th birthday. I am entering it into the Little Red Wagon Challenge #818-Masculine.
I used paper and die cuts from 49 & Market. This card is a 5" by 7" card, a size I NEVER create!!
I did a bit of distressing on the edges and then dragged Vintage Photo Distress Ink along the edges.
For the numbers on this card I used dies from The Greetery.
Well, that is all from me today. I have some other cards I created but will post them another time.
