You Look Marvelous II

I remade the You Look Marvelous card. It was for my sister & she didn’t like the inside. First thing I changed was the color I switched from the pink to turquoise. Inside I got on line & found a clip art of these dress forms that go with my color scheme. I then cut out the WOW using my Cricut. I used a little bling on the exclamation point. I hope she likes this one. I did end up buying blue & purple card stock so I could make this again maybe for another occasion. Change the 3 blings on the front & the color to blue you could have a baby boy card just as fast. What card did you like best? Card 1 or 2? 

You Look Marvelous

Inside it says “Delight In Life” This card was made for someone who lost a whole lot of weight. What do you thing?

 

Scrapbooking vs Card Making

Sorry, tonight I put my time towards scrapbooking. Jeff & I spent some time sorting pictures so we think we have all of Anchorage AK together. Then I can go get pictures made of the ones I want to scrap. Problem I fell asleep at the key board again. My excuse is I had to work today. Anyway because I didn’t finish picking out pictures I didn’t get my posting for tonight out. Sorry. Off tomorrow & will try.

I had taken this piece of red paper & punched leafs for a fall card I had made. I used a Martha Steward leaf punch. I noticed that the paper was about the size of a card. So I attached some yellow card stock to the back. Stamped Thanks on the front & attached it to a premade card. I just had to cut it down a little. The inside is blank.

 

Slowly….

I’m never going to finish the last page of The Wild Animal Sanctuary. After procrastinating all day even to the point of having Jeff check Safeway when he went shopping, I went to get a roll of double-sided permanent tape at Michael’s in Greeley. I get home & find I got one-sided tape. Ugh!

Well, since I can’t work on my page I could work a little on the AK trip. 1^st I need to take everyone’s pictures & put them in a time line.,,,

Sorry not tonight.

Sorry but I spent the night scrapbooking. Got 3 pages of the Animal Sanctuary done. Very plane but sometimes you just need to get the pictures documented & don’t have time for the fancy stuff. I have decided to go back on the Animal Sanctuary pages & add a little bling. This makes me feel better about the plane pages (7) I’m going to do. 3 down 4 to go. All are already planed out. It was easy you divide by animals (Lions, tigers, bears, wolf’s & camel that might end up on the wolf’s page. Not sure yet. Ok almost planed out 🙂 Everything is subject to artistic privilege.

I’ll share that thank you card soon & then the Sanctuary pages. That is when I have time between work, doctor appointments & my BFF in town. We spent the day shopping. Some of which included getting green paper for the Sanctuary pages. Any way coming soon……

Happy Fall Thank You.

First I punched out several leaves using a Martha Steward leaf punch. I die cut out the tree in brown using Sizzix. I then attached the leaves to the tree. I die cut a circle in the premade card that I outlined with leaves. I stamped the Thank You. Taking a stamp about fall I used masking tape & taped off all but the Happy Fall. I then stamped that into the circle so you will see it on the inside & then outside. I glued on a small purple butterfly left over from other projects.

Not the best inside picture but enough that you can see I framed the inside of the cut window with leaves. I also attached on next to where the Happy Fall is stamped to cover a slight error 🙂

2nd Cruise Card

This is the 2nd card we made. Taking the premade card I attached a ribbon down the side. Framed the cut out with a yellow sticker frame. Added a couple of yellow jewels for bling.

Inside I goofed off. I took a pre cut and attached it to the pre cut square creating a lacy frame. Then I just used left over stickers & rub on’s.

Thank You Cruise Card.

Back from an Alaska cruise. Can’t wait to start to scrapbook the trip. Keep your eyes out as I will post the pages. I’m lucky enough to have booth my Brother, sister, sister-in-law & brother-in-law pictures. I take pictures with scrapbooking in mind & my sister with art in mind. My brother –in-law is great on face shots. My sister-in-law is great at the improv shot. My brother caught nature like the rest of us didn’t so I just can’t wait to scrapbook these pages.

In the mean time they had a card making class on the cruise one day. Of course I had to go. Here is one of the cards we made. My favorite one.

It came in a kit. So the Thank You is a sticker. It placed on a die cut & raised with pop dots. I took two pink jewels and attached them to the bottom left of the card.

Inside I used a rub on to attach the thank you in yellow. Then the kewl part. It looks like they took a frame, cut off one side & then I attached it to the card making a frame on the inside & a decorative outside to the card.

Wedding

Wedding card for Jeff’s nephew Garrett. Just a little late but… There is a lot going on with this card. Jeff didn’t like it & he has some valid points. First I took a pre-made card & ran the front cover through a Sizzix dry embossing dye. I took a Stampin Up stamp & used tape to cover the words I didn’t want to use. After I inked the stamp I pulled the tape off before stamping it onto silver card stock. This way I only got the car & not the words. I used Pop Dots (part Jeff doesn’t like) & attached the silver paper with the wedding car on it onto a silvery piece of card stock that I also attached with Pop Dots. To many pop dots per Jeff.

Inside I did some iris folding. Using my Sizzix castle dye again I did Iris folding. After Christmas I bought some wrapping paper on sale. It’s cheep & easy to Iris fold. This paper is one of those. It’s silver in color. Once you know how to iris fold (and it’s super easy) then you can get a pattern sheet & turn almost anything into something that can be iris folded. I Googled to find pattern sheets. I have used this Sizzix castle dye on a lot of iris fold projects. Cut it out in black then iris fold with black paper put a big yellow moon behind it & you have a Halloween castle. It’s a dye I’m glad I got.

I covered the back of the card using the same card stock that I used on the front of the card. Then I stamped “Happy Ever After” inside.

God Bless.
