Have a Heart

This is my entry in the Daring Card Makers challenge to make a card using some hearts. I used the cuttlebug heart embossing folder for the mat, a fiskers hand punch for the hearts, a spiral paper clip in black with black ribbon to attach the hearts which swing free on the card. The verse is one I paid $1 for at Micheal's. The colors are for a challenge on one of my swap groups. Enjoy, Janet

Blues

Here is my Mercy's Tues. sketch challenge entry. I needed a mono card for one of my swap challenge so went with blue and used Mercy's sketch. Paper is from JoAnn's, silk flower and ribbon from Micheal"s, brad from Hobby Lobby and the embossing was done with the cuttlebug birthday embossing folder. Enjoy, Janet

Love is in the Air

Another Simple Doodles card using my home made crayon background and the new Heart Bear digi stamp. I made this for a Birthday card for a little girl. The sketch is from the Just Christmas and Birthdays Wed. challenge. To make the background paper I grated color crayons onto wax paper (put the wax paper onto a firm pad of newspaper) when I had all my colors grated I placed my sheet of cardstock on top, put a old piece of a sheet on top and then ironed everything. Make sure you use a hot iron, no steam. Look at your paper and if it needs more color grate more crayons and repeat the ironing. It works pretty easy. I am not sure if this is the directions given on other sites I lost the web sites and went with my own idea on how to complete this project. Hope you have fun trying it out, Janet

Pretty Blue Birthday

Here is my entry in the Stamping Sisters in Christ Sunday challenge. We had to use two of each thing we used on the card. So I have two blue papers, two silk flowers, two brads and two ribbon bows. Enjoy, Janet

Take a lick

Back in the swing of things here at home, tonights first card is for the Simple Doodles challenge to make your own background. I used flaked color crayons and my iron to make the background paper. The image is the new ice cream cone from Simple doodles and I used my cuttlebug embossing folder to make the design on the green paper. The sketch for my card is from the Sketch and Stash Monday challenge. Hope you all enjoy my card, Janet

I'm back

Hello everyone, I am back from vacation, my computer has been fixed so I am ready to rock and roll. I made a couple of cards tonight but will not get them on until tomorrow. Hope everyone is well and creating up a storm. Janet

Birthday in Blue

This is my third card and it is entered in the Stamp TV sketch challenge. Again I used my hand made background paper for the focal point of the card which I put onto the card with pop dots. I cut it out using one of my nestibilities, my light blue mat is embossed using one of the cuttlebug embossing folders and I used a piece of ribbon for the horizontal part of the sketch. I used the words Happy Birthday from a scrap piece of print paper for the finishing touch. Thanks for looking, Janet

Just shapes and colors

I used the Paper Craft sketch challenge for this card. I cut my background paper with my circle punch and with my nestibilities. I used ribbon and a get well saying from The Angel Company. Thanks for stopping by, Janet

Hearts and Flowers

My three cards tonight are for a swap on one of my groups. All of them use a back ground tech. of hair mousse and re-inkers. Can't find the directions right now but you use Mousse and reinkers on a piece of foil or wax paper ( I put it on one side then folded the foil in half to make a different pattern) you then put your cardstock piece into the colored mousse, lift it off and let it dry. Mine didn't dry as fast as I wanted so I sprinkled on some clear embossing powder and heat set it. Turned out pretty good. When I do this again I will use less ink so it doesn't blob up on me.

Now for this card it is in two card challenges, #1 Card positioning systems sketch challenge and # 2 the Daring card makers challenge to use something with a point. I used verse mark to stamp hearts with arrows through them, a strip of my background paper, silk flowers with jewel centers. Enjoy, Janet

Birthday butterflies

My last card for tonight is entered in the Stamp TV Wed. color challenge. We had to use the colors found in a fall forest scene. Differents shades of oranges with a touch of green and blue. I used butterfly paper from a theme mat pack from JoAnn's, scrap cardstock, ribbon my newest EK Success border punch and my cuttlebug embossing folder. Enjoy, Janet

A little bird

My first card tonight is for Digi Kitty and Mercy's Tues. sketch challenge. For Digi Kitty I used one of their digi stamps and made a demensional card. The center image is put on with pop dots to add demension. I used my cuttlebug embossing folder on the main mat, my EK Success edge punch, gel pens, a computer made verse and a scrap piece of butterfly paper from JoAnn's. I hope you enjoy my creation, Janet
