finally

A set of cards.

I used a stamp from the Gina K. set Comfort & Peace.
There are 5 cards to this set (the other three are in the post below) and I just switched up the
placement of the stamp, chalked the yellow and blue and a few different embelishments on each card.
I'm thrilled that I finally did it, and that although not the fanciest of cards they turned out pretty good.

3 of 5

and here are the other 3 of the set.

Thanks for stopping by.

Mom Cards

This first card is my first acetate card
I stamped the flower from the Ornate Hearts and Flowers set from http://mftstamps.com/
on acetate, then while that was drying I chalked over a leaf stamp (dollar bin) on white c/s and stamped the love is timeless sentiment on that.
I added chipboard letters covered with scraps of dp from Micheal's (I think).
I see I should do that cord a might tighter before I give it to mom.

This one was ds from MFT called Echo, I believe, and a few heart cutouts, flower embelishment, and ribbon from Jody Morrow http://confessionsofaribbonaddict.blogspot.com/ from one of her ribbon shares.

MFT Stamp

I did this for Valentines Day, but never did send it to anyone.
This first pic shows the front of the card and envy

While this next pic is the inside of the card and envelope flap
had to make the envelope and it is 5x5
(I just noticed that you can see some of the doublesided tape I used).
Oh well, it never pays to post before looking. lol

The blurred sentiment is not an oops though, I did that on purpose with wet ink and chalks.

The Heart is from http://www.mftstamps.com/
Sentiment is from dollar bin at local store.

These stamps are just too cute. I cut the car out in felt

Getting caught up

I really have some catching up to do, so I will just post the cards as they were created.
These cards and the ones in the next post were a box of cards I made for Diane as part of her X-Mas gift.

I'm back after a

Long, Long time

I had to take a break from my blog for many reasons, but I will be posting again since I have been keeping busy doing cards in my absence.
So bare with me while I post those and get myself caught up.

If you are still poping in to take a peek, thanks.

Back to the season at hand

4 more Christmas cards that were long finished and forgotten. But since it's 3:30am, and I have nothing else to do I thought It's now or never.
This card is a design from Ruby Burns teabag cd at http://pages.prodigy.net/rubyburns , I got the cd last year and they are all super designs.

I used a piece of gauze and stamped over it to get the bottom background, and a scrap piece of paper to do the top.
Stamped and cut out the tree, added the ribbon from Jody Morrow's May arts ribbon share, at http://confessionsofaribbonaddict.blogspot.com/ .

Another Fairysong stamp, http://faeriesong.com/ all glittered up, the border is a tape runner (I forget from where right now).

I thought I'd try to do a stitch card, and all by hand (no sewing machine yet) lol, and I must say I did it pretty even considering that I almost went blind pierceing each hole along my ruler to get the machined look.
I used the thread that Dianne got for me for my stitch cards, and chipboard letters from a kit I got at Costco a while back.

Have a great day

Non Christmas related

I was getting a bit tired of doing X-Mas cards so I slipped a few non X-mas ones in.
I had fun doing this one cause there was alot of cutting out. I know most people don't like haveing to do lots of cuts, but I on the other hand don't mind it.

I did the bathroom wall tiles with self adhesive epoxy dimensional tiles. They are a bit wonky in their placement, but I guess I'm not really good at straight lines (even with the help of ruler and pencil)
I've had these for soooo long that I was pleasantly surprised that they still had sticking power. LOL
A strip of textured paper for a border underneath set the scene.
I watercolored the wall with just a hint of green, colored and cut out the bottles of bath salts (I actually doubled them because the stamp only has two bottles), and the shelf (which I cut the legs off of) and stuck them on the wall.
This is a stamp from http://www.rubberromance.com/ and I just love it.
Anyway, I stickled the bubbles to death so they would really stand out, cut the whole thing out and stuck it on.
There you have it

I guess you've noticed that I don't use many sentiments and are asking why that is, and the answer is
Drum roll please.........................

That I have no answer, Yup you read that right. I really don't have an answer to give you. I love them, I have them, yet I don't use them.
Oh well, just one more thing for me to ponder over.

This card I brightened up so you could see the felt on it better.

I got this design in 2004 from Craft Creations magazine and I loved it way back then.

I watered colored the background on watercolor paper, trying to get that warm african sunset feeling. I think I'm off the mark a tad, but all in all I think it turned out alright.
The giraffs are cut out of thick felt as you can see on the top pic, which gives it dimension.
I did however go a bit overboard roughing up the edges of the card, as you can see I ripped a piece out of the top.

But hey It's homemade paper and it has it's own flaws which is fine with me.
