Thinking of You (Card #4)

The images in the For the Birds stamp set are so cute.  I color the Think of You bird with some of my copics using two different brown shades for the nest.  This was then punched with a 1 3/4" circle punch.  The base card needed something so I stamped the background in VersaMark and embossed with white embossing powder.  I missed the top right corner so I decided to punch the side with a border stamp and add a strip of pattern paper on the side.  I die cut a scalloped circle for the stamped image and popped the image up on dimensional adhesive.

Birthday Balloons (Card #2)

Happy Saturday!

 

I hope everyone is having a great day! 

As soon as I saw the balloon dies from Simon Says Stamp, I knew I wanted to die cut some colorful vellum balloons.  I die cut the smallest balloon out of green, blue, and red vellum.  I did not want the adhesive to show so I ran the balloons through my 1.5" Xyron Sticker Machine.  The card base is 2.75" by 2.75".  This will fit perfectly in a 3 x 3 envelope.

 

 

Until next time,

Ali

The Challenge - Card #1 (Lawnscaping Challenge # 77)

I love making cards.  It is a stress reliever for me.  The problem is I never make time for it so I decided it was time to challenge myself.  The challenge is very simple.  I challenge myself to make 100 cards in 100 days.  Since I am starting on March 12, my challenge will run until June 20.  wish me luck!

 Card #1 - Hello

 

This first card is an entry into the Lawnscaping Challenge #77 - "BLING IT".  I took a light pink card from the Hero Arts Blush card set and sprinkled Heidi Swapp Color Shine in Tinsel.  Then I took the Scripty Hello die and die cut two hellos out of the small pink polka dot paper from Lawn Fawn's Let's Polka.  The third hello was die cut out of charcoal American Crafts POW! Glitter Paper.  I love the sparkle this paper has with no glitter mess.  The hellos were attached to the front of the card.  I used my Xyron 1.5" Create a Sticker. 

 

 

 

Until next time,
