Car Guys

I really like making masculine cards even though they are a little harder to do. Here are just a few I put together for the car guys in my family. The Black/Gray dots paper was some given to me by a friend and I have no idea who it’s by. The brown paper is DCWV Once Upon A Time’s Spellbound Parchment. The blue/green stripe paper (one of my favorite papers) is Junkitz Rhythmz Paperz’s R&B Skinny Stripes. The stamp is from Tim Holtz “Playful Journey.” Quick and easy.

Simon Says Stamp Challenge

I wanted to make a card for a sweet family friend, so when I saw the challenge on Simon Says Stamp Challenge Blog I decided to kill two birds with one stone. I used Lawn Fawn’s “Critters in the Forest,” Paper Smooches’ “Simply Said,” Basic Grey’s “Lemonade” paper pack, Recollection’s bird on a wire tape, and a Prima’s “Summer Fun” flower for a sun. A little coloring and a little Stickles and done.

hi

I love this stamp so much, it‘s so sweet. I thought it would make a great "hi" card for my step-sister. I used Unity’s “your wings exist” (again, so sweet) then colored it with scholar prismacolor colored pencils. The stamp on the envelope was a gift and I have no idea who it's by. I went over the dots on her dress with a Sakura Gelly Roll Metallic pen. Added a little distressing with Tim Holtz’s distress inks in “tumbled glass” and “peeled paint” and was done. Really simple, but a “sweet” way to say hi. Stop by Friends with Flair at Unity to see more great projects.

Dog Daze

 

We really love dogs at my house and so do our friends and family, so I made a few doggie albums for our furred friends. I didn’t use doggie paper for all of them, but I made sure to take into account the personalities of both the dog and the owner. These are so easy, just cut chipboard a little over 4x6 and cover it or paint it. Then cut some cardstock at 4x6. Trim a little off your 4x6 pictures, add them and you're done. I put two of these together with my “bind it all” and the other one with binder rings. So easy and yet so cute.

Cheers

I made these cards for my brother-in-law for Christmas last year. If you have your own wine connoisseur these are really quick and easy to make. I used Daisyds’ “Holly Winter Blue“ paper cut with Tim Holtz‘s On the Edge “Ornate” and distressed with Tim Holtz Distress Ink. I used Michael’s rub-ons, cut them out and accented them with Sakura Gelly Roll “Clear Star” pen and Sakura Gelly Roll Glaze #800 pen. Quick, easy and lots of fun to both give and to make.

Get Comfy

I really love how well these Art Impressions stamps stamp. Today I used their “Comfy on Couch Set.” Did I mention I love these stamps? I embossed the background with Cuttlebug’s “Kassie’s Brocade,” then used Recollection’s “Red Stripes,” and Spellbinders’ “Labels Nine.” You already know I used Stickles, Rose Art color pencils, Tombow Markers and Memento “Tuxedo Black” ink.

Golden Oldies

My mom is in a Red Hat group so I like to make her fun cards to send to her friends. I’ve been making her cards for the last week so I’m sure you will see a few of them on here this coming week. For this one I used Art Impressions “Golden Oldies” and “You Go First” stamps. Love these stamps. I used a Fiskars’ punch, Recollection’s “Red Small Dots,” and Spellbinders’ “Large Scalloped Octagons.” And of course you know I used Stickles, Rose Art color pencils, Tombow Markers and Memento “Tuxedo Black” ink.
