Lever Fold Birthday Card

This card is called a lever fold. I thought it was so elegant so had to give it a try. The card base is white 5.5 X 11. I layered it with recollections cs and embossed the layers with one of my many embossing folders. The leaves were stamped with the SU botanical blooms set and the flowers were from the SU Birthday blooms.I loved how it turned out. I usually leave the sentiments out until I am ready to give the card away. I will be doing more of this card fold so I created a cut file to make it come together quickly. I hope you like it as much as I do.

I will enter this card into the Simon Says Wednesday challenge.

Masculine Birthday

I am back with a masculine card for you this time. I wanted to do another scenery card. I used the set In the Meadow for the mountains and the front trees on the left of the card. I drew a few very small trees in the background the the pine trees in the front is from the set noble deer. the lake and sky is colored with soft sky. I also added a small waterfall for more interest. The three deer are also from noble deer stamp. I created this card awhile ago but didn't get it up loaded so I am not sure of the colors I used. I am going to add this card this challenge

Adorable Teddy

Hi everyone,

This adorable card is using the Crafter;s Companion Bear. I made three in different colors but this grey bear is my favorite. The bear was stamped onto neenah cs and colored with copic markers.

copics: N0,2,4, R61,63, YG63.67.  I die cut the image using my sizzix circles and an open scallop circle to layer under the image. I used glimmer silver cs from recollection. Its a lovely thicker cs. The circles were all layered with dimensional's  onto 5.5 sq neenah white cs. I used the SU lacy border punch with the silver and cut two borders one for the top and one for the bottom of the cs. I have seen a lot of thee thin cirlcle cuts so decided to use my program make the cut and created a thin circle and duplicated it two more times and welded all three together to make one. I cut it using my expression and a glitter pink/purple ombre glitter cs. I am very pleased at how it turned out. They don;t look as thin as the die cut ones but I am still pleased. I am going to use the card as either a birthday or baby card. I am putting this card into this challenge.

Hi everyone, We have had a lot of rain the last few days. its cool today but but no rain. Today's card was inspired by a 6x6 feather stencil I got the other day. The stencil is called mini 4 feathers. The card base is neenah cs cut at 10 x 7. The layer is 6.75 x 4.75 with the edges distressed with  Tim Holts faded jeans distressed ink. The background was stamped with SU gorgeous grunge. The feathers were colored using a sponge and the distressed inks. I added a bow from my stash. The sentiment is from the stamp set called fly free by Kaiser Craft. It needed a bit more interest so I added some gold sequins. I hope you have enjoyed seeing my creation for today. I will add this card into this challenge.

Swallowtail Dream

This is my second post for World card making day. The card base a 5 x 7 card using neenah cs. I stamped my card onto neenah cs using the SU swallowtail stamp. The ink is pacific point. I then put the card into a box and used my DIY alcohol blue ink and sprayed it over the whole card and image. I then used perfect pearls mist called pearls and glimmer. It really looks gorgeous. I stamped  a swirl using SU Priceless set and the sentiment is Inkadinkado floral inspiration stamp. I took a strip of neenah cs and used an embossing folder for the right side of the card. I added pacific point over the the raised area to bring the card together. I then added a decorative trim that I had in my stash and added pacific point cs layered onto the card base. I added the front of the card and it looks very pretty in real life.  The sparkle and shine just doesn't show in the photos. I will add this card into

Mind Scapes

Happy card making day to everyone. I went to a card class today and made some cards. I didn't take the right glue so I have to finish them at home. This is not one of the cards made in class. It was so much fun. I will go to the class next Oct too. 

The base of his card is 5x7 and I used neenah cs.  I made a sketch template in word for the background layout 4.75 x 6.75 and printed it onto neenah cs. On each of the squares I used lots of post it note to cover up the squares.  Then I could use distress ink linen sponging in each of the squares. Before I removed the post its I took my stamp and stamped before moving on to the next square. The stamp set I used is Inkadinkadoo Mind Scape. The images were inked with memento black and SU old olive. I added a SU old olive ribbon and tied a knot. On the inside of the card I added a second generation stamp of the butterfly. The card took me quite awhile to do but I am pleased with the results. I am hoping the next one will be faster.  I will add my card into this challenge.

The bird candy is jut a cone and the end of my copic made the dots for the candy. I used N2 to make the chain. The leaves in the background is SU a touch o nature using the olive green ink. The card base is bazil cs in mustard color.The DSP is from a 6x6 card pad called moments. I then used a MS border punch on the bottom of the cs. The yellow ribbon is MS and it just would not go into to a bow so I ended up making a knot. The orange enamel do is one I made using the clear pony beads. I hope you have enjoyed my take on the theme candy.

Hoppy Christmas!

Hi everyone,

Here is a card I made from Deedees Digi Oh hoppy day! I thought it was such a cute set so I had to work with it. I used two of the kangaroos the happy holidays and happy birthday. I just thought it would be so cute to put two of them together. The card base is neenah cs and the DSP are from a K&Company Christmas paper stack.I have used the pre colored images and printed them onto neenah cs. I decided to make a few hills from the neenah card stock then hand cut a couple of hills. I then added some glitter to the snow and some on both images. The ribbon is from SU and I made a bow. The bow isnt showing up much now but it is there. I used a flower from my stash and glittered it with MS fine glitter. I found a pinecone in my stash and took off 4 of the little pieces and added them under the flower. I cut the sentiment with the bitty banner die. The kangaroos are popped up with foam dimentionals. I also decided I wanted the eyes bigger so I used a fine sharpie and then added the white back in the eyes. 

I will add this card into this challenge.

Little Bear

Hi everyone,

We have another challenge this week at 613 Ave create using Guylou's Stamps. I just seem to be using round shape cards this past few weeks. Here is another one. I used recollections kraft paper and cut two circles out with quick kut circle die. I then found a pretty paper with circles that I liked from studio G pad and cut it with the circle also. I printed the bear onto neenah white cs and colored it with copic - 37,35,31,N8,6,4,2,0, B12,14. Y23. I used the blue jean marker to make the strips in the vest and hat. chrome blue jeans markers. I used a chevron stamp by Amy tangerine collection at the bottom of the card using SU close to cocoa ink.  The stamp doesn't seem to have any name that I  can see. The arrow stamp is from SU. I used SU little labels punch for the sentiment. The stamps was also from SU tiny tags stamps. I cut three small blue dots using the 1/4" circle punch from a scrap. I then glued them onto the card and added small clear dots. I know they have a name but can't think of it at the moment. It just needed a bit more so I took the close to cocoa marker and added dash lines on the outer circle.

I will enter this card into these challenges

Cute Just Got Cuter

Hi everyone,

I printed it onto neenah cs then cut it out with a shapez die frames 5. The card base is neenah cs and theDSP layer is from the DCWV pet pad. I colored the image with copic markers. E31,33,35, R20.22.24, N0. I decided the eyes needed to be larger so I took a copic liner and colored them in bigger. I added some white to the eyes. I used the SU little punches and made the flower. For the flower center I used the smallest hole punch, lost it a few times but managed finally to glue it to the center of the flower. I will add this card into these challenges.
