Heart Background Special Friend card

The blue glitter paper is by The Paper Studio. I cut the hearts out with my Cricut. Then I backed the hearts with Color Aid paper. I popped it up with foam adhesive. Except the open heart. I stamped the sentiment with Staz-on black ink on Sizzix glitter cardstock. Neither of the glitter paper shed. To a special friend is a Stampendous stamp.

Thanks for looking. HAGD!

Manly Monday Turtle Card

This card started with this cute turtle die cut that was a gift from a seller on Mercari. I made the background with distress ink and a piece of paper as a mask. The green frame was a negative to a rectangle. The paper is by Color Aid. The picture shows what a mess it is underneath. I had to die cut some waves to put on top of the green frame.

The dark blue waves are the negative K and Co paper which you can see in the picture on the right. It’s a beach/travel scallop shaped paper and I’ve used the side where you tear the paper off of the pad as waves. Thanks for stopping by and have a great rest of your week.

Be Merry Card

I have a Christmas card to show you today. I die cut the snowman from the Winter Woodland Cricut cartridge using scraps. I do know the greenish colored patterned paper in the hat and scarf is by Making Memories. The blue background paper is by Color-Aid, the green circle patterned paper is by Deja Views-it's very old and then the sentiment is an Imaginisce stamp in green Memento Ink. Now that I look at the snowman more I believe the blue patterned paper is by Deja Views. I think I will add some black ink to form some eyes. Maybe.

This is another easy graduation card today. The patterned paper is by Best Creations and I've wrapped around and tied into a bow Michael's shear ribbon.

Mom ATC's

Mother's Day ATC's (Artist Trading Cards) for my swap at Scrapbook.com

All the ATC's have a chipboard "M" that are unknown. I like the way these one turned out. I usually don't like to do all the same thing when it comes to these swaps. I felt like these ATC's were different maybe because of the colors or because each one has unique differences (I used a stencil for on and a stamp for another) that made them feel like they were different but yet are alike. I'll stop rambling.

Happy Birthday Card

My next new card uses a new to me craft item called chalk markers by Chalkola. They are a marker that you can use on any non porous surface and then wipe away with a wet cloth. I've been experimenting with them for a couple of weeks and have some great posts coming up talking about them. They have a Facebook page for you to check out. There are a bunch of different videos on the markers for you to see.

For this card I used the marker as my ink for two stamps. The first one is the present in the circle. It is a clear stamp by, I think, Fiskars. I took the marker and colored the ink onto it and stamped on white cardstock. Since I used the chalk marker on paper if you swipe the present the ink will come off. I did the same thing for the stars in the background, however I did first and second generation stamping to see how I would like it. Since the markers weren't intended to be used on paper and the image may smear this card will be a family card. lol. My thought was I took the time to stamp them out I better make them into a card. This is an 11 layer card - Crazy, I know, right.

The coral/pink paper is by Color-Aid and black and white cardstock by recollections. The circle punches are by EK Success. The other patterned paper is by Kaisercrafts. The happy die is by Clearly Besotted and the birthday die is by Papertrey Ink.

Thanks for looking.
