Good Morning everyone!
Sorry it has taken me so long to get back to you, but I had some computer problems and now bad weather(Batten down the hatches!). I hope you all had a wonderful and restful Easter, and didn't eat too many goodies and spoil your appetite! Hubby got hooked on the Robins Eggs and bought some more afterwards. I'll have to admit I kinda like them too much myself!
Here's another card I made at the same time as the previous Anniversary card. It was very simple and I used some of the new items from CTMH. I embossed the card, stamped the feathers and fussy cut them out, added some sequins and a small tag sentiment and ,"Whala", it's done ! Thanks for looking, and have a beautiful, creative day!
Supplies- CTMH: Embossing folder "Chevron", Stamped feathers: "Feathers" seasons and nature, Sequins are from the Lollydoodle WOTG. Sentiment: "4 My Friend", and the tag is from a Sizzix die.
Hey everyone!
Isn't it funny how you run across something you forgot you had while looking for something else, and know instantly why you bought it ( 3 years ago ) and what you intended on doing with it! Such was case with these little bunnies that I purchased at Big Lots when they use to carry a good selection of scrapbook supplies. Sadly this is not the case any more, at least not at the one in my town. Any way, I rescued them from going into the yard sale bag and teamed them up with an embossing folder I recently purchased from Consumer Crafts online. A couple of weeks ago they had all of their embossing folders on sale for $1.99 and I bought 6 or 7 of them at that price! It all came together rather quickly once I dug through the gazillion buttons that I have in my stash! Honestly, I think the buttons are growing like weeds in my craft room. I find them everywhere!!
I hope you all have a wonderful Easter, and thanks for peeking in on me!
Supplies- Bunnies: Paperbilities, Martha Stewart: Grass border punch and "Frond" punch for the leaves, "Loops" punch around the page for the inside, Darice: "Cloudy Sky" embossing folder, Stampin' Up: "Banner" punch and "Loads of Love" stamp set for the sentiment, Button flowers from my ever growing collection.
Hello everyone! I dropped in today to show you another little Easter card. I have been seeing these shaker cards all over Pinterest and on various blogs and I thought I would try one myself. I ( Don't faint ) got out my Cricut and and cut out the window using the centerpoint feature. I stamped the egg, cut the top half off, then I used the top half as a mask so that I could add the chick from another stamp, then stamped it again and added the chick. I then used my markers and colored pencils to color in the egg and chick. I fussy cut them out and glued them to another piece of patterned paper. To make it a shaker, I used a small bag that "dollar stamps" come in and added the sequins. I used Score tape to adhere the whole thing to the back of the mat and glued it all down to the card base. I had so much fun with this that I ended up making two of them. I hope you'll try this yourself, it was really not as hard as it sounds. Thanks for looking!
Supplies- CTMH: Cricut Art Philosphy", "Colored Egg" M stamp. S.U.:" Modern Label" punch, EK Success: Scallop Circle punch, Both ribbons and sentiments from my stash, Sequins from Hobby Lobby in the Easter section.
Hello all!
I was recently asked to do a technique for one of our Team Training Days with Close to My Heart. This is what I came up with. I used the Easter egg from one of the new "M" stamps and did some dry embossing with a stylus. In keeping with the "purge" of 2014, I used some retired papers from CTMH also. This was the second try on the egg. The first one was done on colored vellum and I didn't get as good of an impression I as wanted, so this one was done with plain white vellum. I used watercolor pencils and a blending pen for the egg colors. Even though Easter is a bit away, it will be here before you know it! Are you getting your cards and decoration made and ready to send out snail mail? I hope so. Thanks for looking in on me!
Supplies- CTMH: Paper "Lucy", Egg: M Stamp "Colored Egg", Bling: "Bitty Sparkles" and "Glitter Gems". SU: Punch "Modern Label". Sentiment: Studio G. Ribbon from my stash.
