Smile! Camera stamp card

The camera stamp is by Just Rite stamps. I colored it in with Copic markers. Then I created the background using an old stamp set by Stampin Up. The pink ink is by Stampin Up and the green and blue ink pad is by Hero Arts.

I cleaned the smile stamp after using it with the pink ink. It wasn't good enough because when I pushed the stamp down onto the blue and green ink pad, remnants of the pink ink ruined my ink pad. I was so disappointed. But paper always has two sides. I flipped it over and made my background all pretty.

Thanks for looking.

Manly Monday Beach Scene Card

The car stamp is by Tim Holtz in brown chalk marker, that I regret giving them to my niece.the die cut was bought on eBay.

Then you open the next panel and you can see the parts and pieces that I used to make this  card. The seashell die cut is by Creative Expression (i think). I used a post note to ask off the different shelves and seaweed with I sprayed it with glimmer Mist by Tattered Angels. Same chair and shoes but the sunglasses are Stampin Up

A Craft Roulette original, the “Zoyfold” card

As the title says, Craft Roulette’s Mary Gunn and Irene Smith came up with this name to describe a card design that is part Z-Fold card and part Joy fold card.

In the image above, the embossing folder is by Darice and I inked it with distress ink. The vellum is from the Paper Studio and I cut it into a circle using my Creative Memories cutting system. The gems are by Couture Creations. 

The brick embossing folder by Darice. I inked it with all different inks before spraying it with water. This is the inside flap other side of the green cardstock.

The vintage looking door stamp is from Deep Red Stamps. I used watercolors to color it then die cut it out with a Sizzix oval scalloped die. The oval mat behind the image is also by Sizzix. 

This card was made for Craft Roulette episode #249. The parameters were: project-“Zoyfold” card. Colors-elegant. Elements-Front Door. Random-3 circles.

Just a Note glow in the dark card

Today’s card is SOooo fun. I started by applying glow paste by Tim Holtz onto a stencil by Couture Creations. The brads are by Making Memories. The label is by Recollections. The embossing folder is by Cuttlebug. 

Check out the paper that the sentiment was cut out of. It looks a little different. I went to the recycle bin and pulled out a piece of white cardstock. It’d been die cut, but didn’t cut all the way through. I die cut the sentiment out of a piece of paper. Hence, why there are cut lines on the sentiment die cut.

 Lastly, I tried to ink the edges of the paper, but the paste is gritty and wouldn’t take ink. I must be doing something wrong.anyway. Thanks for looking. HAGD!

Floral Friday Thinking of You card

I die cut the flower which is connected to the white square. The sentiment is the Draw and Cut from Cricut. The die cut behind the the flower is by…BUT the patterned paper is by Anna Griffin and the gold background paper is from Creative Memories. All of this is on a black cardstock base.

Thanks for looking. HAGD! 

Wooden Butterfly Crackle Paint card

You might be thinking, what am I looking at? I”m going to try and tell you. 

On the white cardstock is a brown background die by Simply Defined called “Whimsical Nature, Thick Jungle Background”. I like the background because you could cut pieces out and create a different background theme.

The butterflies are made of wood (Maya Road) and I painted them with very old Fire Brick Red distress crackle paint. The results weren’t great. I threw it away after that. Ranger’s Crackle paint is no longer sold in colors. 

Thanks for looking. HAGD! 

Floral Friday heart wreath card

I inked the lower part of the card with distress ink. I sprayed the card and red cardstock with Glimmer Mist by Tattered Angels. I covered the seam between the red cardstock and the inked card base with gold paper is by Sizzix. 

I don’t know where the heart image is from and I’m not certain about the butterfly stamps either.  Thanks for looking. HAGD!

Cricut Drawn Christmas Tree Upcycled Card

 

Every month a friend and I make Christmas cards. We call it 5on5: the goal is to make 5 Christmas cards on the fifth of every month at 5:00 PM. Each month we have a theme and  February’s theme was to reuse, recycle, or repurpose. Which brings me to this card that 

I received this 3 years ago. It had a noticeable smudge of green ink in the upper left corner. It 

took this long to figure out what I could do to the Cricut pen on the 

I tried a white gel pen, which made the green ink smear more. To make it not look as though I’m covering up a mistake, I would have to go around each area just like it smear the green and cover it with a white gel pen. 

This is what I have to say about that white gel pen wasn’t very consistent so I bought some off of Amazon that are amazing.

Anyway, the flaw needed to be covered up with something solid. I pulled out these not rhinestones or gems or enamel dots. Nope, none of those. They are a product by Imaginisce. You heat set them to your project with this tiny little thing that applies heat. They match the green marker used on the tree. Thanks for looking. HAGD! 

Fold Out Christmas Tree Farm Card

I made this card for Craft Roulette #239 the parameters were to make an interactive card with picnic colors, farm elements, and strips of paper.

I’m not sure what this card fold is called but I am obsessed with it. It’s so easy to score and it looks like a rock star. The first picture shows what it looks like when you take it out of the cart. You don’t even see the trees on the outside until you open it up. I love that when you do open it up you have a full 8 1/2 x 5 1/2 view that stands up for display. 

My picnic color is green. My farm is a Christmas tree farm and I have 2 strips of silver Sizzix mirror paper on the insides. I had a hard time getting the two darkest colored trees to fold in so you wouldn’t see them until the card was opened.

The front of the card is a Cricut draw, and I did it with a glitter marker. The middle Christmas   tree is from a store bought card, but the other trees were cut with my Cricut. The star top are from a corner punch that is made of stars. The perfect little size for things like this. I drew the tree trunks on with colored pencils and Copic markers.
