Happy Birthday - Janury 9, 2011

I have been absent from making cards for awhile.  I thought I would start off the year making birthday cards.  I pulled out a stamp set that my friend, Stephanie, gave me a long time ago.  It is a Unity Stamp Set called "Hey Chick".  Inside the card it says" shake your tail feathers" and then I stamped "Happy Birthday".  I stamped the image in memento ink, colored it with SU makers, fun flocked the feathers and the bird, and added rhinestones for the bling!

Wash Machine Card - November 10, 2010

 The wash machine card was created using my cricuit to cut several different shapes, creative memories circle cutter, SU punches, and shaker card technique.  I also added some brads to create the knobs and buttons of the machine.  The door actually opens up (scored it and used tacky tape) so you can write a message inside to the recipient.

The clothes inside the washer are made of paper and material lace with some shiny bubble accents.

Scrapbooking Let It Snow Layout - November 6, 2010

Today, I woke up to weather around 35 degrees.  The first thing that came to my mind was snow.  We had so much snow last year, that I am hoping to avoid it this year.  I could actually enjoy one year without any snow.  I made this layout for a swap plus an additional one for my snow pictures from last year. 

Products I used:
Snow on bottom of page was stamped with 3 different stamps (Reflections, Unity Stamps and Hero Art).  I cut the white paper to look like snow drifts using the creative memories cutter.  The Cricuit was my best friend in this creation: Snow Friends for the Snowman, Joys of Season for the large green snow flake and the red snow flake, Winter Frolic for the blue snowflake, Title and journaling box.  A little ribbon from Michaels and a touch of stickles makes this creation complete!

Happy Halloween - October 30, 2010 - Glizty Lace Card

A Glitzy Lace card is fun to create.  The spider web lace was purchased at JoAnns.  The glitter is Martha Stewart Amethyst and Onyx.  You might be wondering, how do I make a card with lace and glitter?  It is so simple.

  (1) Your Supplies: Two Sided Sticker Paper from CTMH, Glitter, Lace and a Brayer.
  (2)  Peel one side of the sticky paper covering away and stick the lace on the sticky side.
  (3) Then sprinkle your glitter onto the lace - covering all of the lace.
  (4) Next lay a sheet of paper over the glitter and roll your brayer over the paper helping the glitter to stick to the sticky paper.   On the sample, I used purple glitter.
  (5) Next tap off the excess glitter, refill your glitter bottle and peel off the lace.
  (6) Next add your second layer of glitter onto your image, put the paper back over top and brayer it down.  On the sample I used black glitter to enhance the spiders and web. 
  (7) Tap off the excess glitter - and now you have a lace image for your card.

Spooky ---- Happy Halloween!!!
