My Sons Cards

I have an almost 7year old son. He loves to use scissors and glue, I think because the only time he sees me use the stuff he thinks he has to make cards in order to use my stuff. This week he decided he wanted to make a card for his nephew. After finishing his card he asked me to take a picture, and that is what inspired me to make this post.

He gets to use stuff from the scrapbox box and some prefolded CS that I keep in a drawer and a glue stick and of course the stapler... Of course he decorated the back and front and we do not under any circumstances point out that he did it backwards.

After making the card he brought me something else he made for me....Isnt it the cutest.

Dragon Fly card

a friend of mine on SCS sent me this card front to make into a card she said to dress it up and use it.

My first thought was this is perfect as is...but I decided to add anyway..My first thought was to disassemble the back Rust panel and Cuttlebuged it, but I couldnt get it apart. She used some very good adhesive.

I then decided to pierce the yellow strips and use my Sakura Stardust gel pen to add some shimmer... then I trimmed the Rust and then used a Very Vanilla base and sponged with Mellow Moss like she did on the tag...I used it for a Birthday card for another SCS friend...

Until Later ...Happy Stamping!

Gratitude

Today I just needed to make a post of the beautiful ThankYou card I recieved from Jill.

She won my blog candy from August. It was so neat of her to send this card to me and it has given me an idea for a Birthday card I have been working on. She used the scrollwork from "Noteworthy" & the flowers and saying from "Best Blossoms".I think she used WhisperWhite, CameoCoral, Old Olive and Basic Black. The white flowers are clear embossed on the white and then the ink was sponged over the flowers. I think she used a singlo gel pen to add some white over the top of the White and then a black marker to add the Black centers. The flap covers the nice message she wrote me on one half of othe card and the edge is folded over and punched with an 1/8" circle punch,and tied with the small stitched black ribbon.

Doesn't it just make you think of Apple blossoms. It is a very beautiful card and I appreciate it.I hope you enjoy it also.

Thanks Jill!

She has posted some darling cards in her blog (Inkgenius) using the blog candy I sent. I hope you'll take some time to visit her blog.I think next week I will feel more upto playing with my toys, and get some cards made. Typing with three fingers works okay ,but I dont think I can use tape and scissors and glue yet(wink) I need all my fingers to get inky.

Until Later ...Happy Stamping!

Cards For Fun

I decided not to post the cards I made for my swap next Tuesday.
To save time I just made copies of the green leaf card I made for VSN, and used the Think Happy Thoughts, again, but switched to the "Thanks so Much" instead of "Friendship".

I am off to the doctor now, so I will post some swap cards.

Today I wanted to post two cards I have recieved one in a swap the other was a RAK both from Sandi, SStrachan611 on splitcoast, here is her Gallery link if you would like to browse it.

OSW Cards

I am very busy finishing up the power point I am working on, so I have very little time. I did take a 2 hour break and made some cards. Today I went to my SU demo's and in less than an hour and a half we made four cards using Mary Brown's One Sheet Wonder Post. This is the ultimate casing project. You can see if you look that we weren't really original in our choice of colors or designs, we basically stuck to her plan. These are really simple quick cards that can be used as Sketch LO for several stamp sets and Designer paper. I will leave it to you to go to the link and get the details she list the sizes of paper the pattern for cutting etc. I will mention that the Stamp Set is SU"Simply Said" The only substitution we did was use the new Basic Grey instead of Black. Now go have fun with your package of 6x6 designer paper. Let me know what you think.

I hope you enjoy the four cards I made and be sure to leave Mary a post on her blog, using the link above. If you just want to visit her blog CLICK HERE I am sure she'll appreciate you visit.

Thanks Mary for all the lovely details, It was fun to make your cards.

Until Later ...Happy Stamping!

Card From a Friend

My friend gave me a very beautiful card for my anniversary, and since my finger has been in dispose for most of the day, I didn't work on any cards. I did celebrate DD#7 birthday, and so this is the only card I have to show tonight.

I think it is very elegant and could be used for a wedding also. I am not positive of the stamp used for the flowers in a vase, but I am sure she painted it with aqua painters and used glitter onthe roses. I am sure she used the Cuttlebug and the Textile Embossing folder. It gives such an elegant look. The oval was punched with a SU oval punch and stamped with Mr& Mrs from the tagger's dozen stamp set. and sponged with silver ink on the edges. The silver cording and white organza look wonderful withthis card. The pink brads look like regal rose and the cardstock looks like Whisper white, Going Grey and Basic Black. I love the way she shaded the vase and raised the panel on dimensionals. I think it's a beautiful card and I will be sure to case it in the future, because it is such a cute LO.

Hopefully tomorrow my finger will feel good enough to make cards and type!

Until Later... Happy Stamping!
