card 56- Sunday sketch

Here is my card for the 365 Card challenge. I chose to do a money gift card. This is my first one and it was very easy. I found the directions at money card holder with Dawn.

Thanks for looking.

Card 55 - Dream

Our challenge today was to create a card with needles and pins.  I had no idea what I was going to do for this card and very little time to do it.  This is when the creative process amazes me.  I knew I wanted a vintage style but that was it.  So I searched through my vintage graphics file until something inspired me.  This graphic of the girl and the bird in a cage is from The Graphics Fairy .  I cut the word with my slice and the basic 1 cartridge. I sprayed the top of the card and graphic with Sea Blue glitter mist.  this is the only glitter mist I own, but there was a lot of blue shadow in the graphic and it matched perfectly-too bad you can't really see it in the photo.  The graphic was matted on olive green cardstock with the edges roughed up and inked with walnut.  My hands are working a little bit, but not enough to sew, I had my daughter do the stitching on the vine trim.  Then added 2 pearl-headed pins and the little flowers.

I hope you like it!

Card 54- New Baby

Our challenge today was to make a joy fold card. I really like these cards and they come out gorgeous.  This is my first time to make one but it won't be the last.  To get examples and instructions just google joy fold card.

I used some paper I was given but never used and for the first time, my Slice. I cut the scalloped circle, the baby feet circle and the word Baby with it.  I used a Martha Stewart border punch for lace. I inked the scalloped circle a bit for depth and stitched several pieces with my sewing machine zigzag stitch. Finally, I used a button and a bit of ribbon to finish.  Hope you like it.

Card 54- Sympathy card

Here's my daily card for 365 card challenge.  Today's challenge was to decorate the front, inside and back of a card.  I scraplifted this card from papercrafts mag Aug/Sep 2008.  The original was made by Kim Hughes,  My version uses CTMH stamps Treasure life and Butterfly Wings. I really like the shadow stamping on this. I'll want to try this technique again.

Thanks for looking!

Card 52- Save the Date

We don't have anything coming up right now, but we always have something going on the 4th of July.

Card 51-Trio

Card 51  for the 365 Card Challenge (link is on right margin) is a trio. We had 3 things we had to use: something red, an alpha sticker and a stamp.

I stamped the flowers and the message, used a red rhinestone for the dot in "i", alpha sticker is green "H".  I double mounted the H, used stickles for flower centers, curled the edges of large flowers and pop dots on blue for dimension.
