WOW

KKKG challenge this week is WOW (white on white).

Still getting use to cutting the images out. I think I'm getting better - lol. I used my new Tim Holtz embossing folder as well .. yay!!. I also pop dotted the image up off the brink but not sure you can tell from the pic once again.

Flutter By Wednesday's challenge is open this week so I thought I'd add the card there as well =)

Here is my card.

Here is the card I did for Gloria's May 1st card challenge using this sketch.

KKKG challenge this week is to use die cuts and punches.

I'm just getting used to cutting these images out. Man alive it seemed to take me all afternoon to cute out the KK image and the Bugaboo flower swing .. lol .. I will get better and faster the more I do it I suppose.

TFL and for the challenges =)

With Deepest Sympathy

Playing around with my new stamps I got today :-) I embossed the tree, butterflies and the saying but from the picture you cant really tell. The butterflies are popped up with pop dots.

TRI Shutter Card

I saw these cards on Split Coast and just had to try it out .. they are super easy to make .. but I found it difficult to do the embellishments ....

Here is my card.

Thanks for checking it out ladies :-)




















Here is the card I saw and totally loved:

Here are the directions on making this card:
Start with a 12″ long piece of card stock that is 5 1/2″ tall. This size will fit into a standard invitation size envelope when all folded.
Score at 2″, 4″, 8″ and 10″
Turn the card stock and now measure 1 1/2″ in from the long side. Use your craft knife and make a slit starting at the 2″ score and bring it down to the 10″ score mark. Make sure to do this on BOTH long sides.

Altered Coasters

We had a coaster swap awhile back and Lisa ended up not getting her coaster. Since I was hosting the swap and felt super bad that she had not received hers, I decided I would make one for her. I made these 2 and I liked both of them so I sent her both. She received them today so I am able to post them now :-) I am horrible at taking pics when I have used stickles .. sorry - lol Lisa's coaster theme was earthy colors (browns/greens) and something inspiring.

"Stair Step Fold" Card

I saw these cards on Split Coast and thought they were kinda neat .. so I played around a bit .. I think I'll try another one .. I have a few b-day cards to make this month. My picture is kinda dark .. you'd think I took it by candlelight - lol .. sorry about that but you get the idea.

TFL :-)


Here are the directions:

It's called either a Stair Step fold, or an Accordion fold, depending on the orientation of your project. This would be a Stair Step fold since it's landscape, but this fold can work either way - portrait or landscape.

• Cut your cardstock to the size of 10.5 X 5.0 - if you want to stamp on this, now would be the time to do it.
• Score your cardstock at 1.25" - 2.5" - 4.25", 6" and at 8.25" Now fold with hills and valleys (accordion style) making sure that the smallest (1.25" fold) is folded down, as this will be the front of your card) Once you look at the samples, you will see what I'm referring to.
• Now here's the fun part...decorate with ANYTHING...punches, cut-outs, stickers...whatever your theme is, run with it.

These cards may be done in landscape or portrait orientation so 'step it up' and let your imagination run wild.

Card for Gloria's bi-weekly card challenge :-)

I did this card for the Queen of Hearts challenge .. thx Vikki :-)

This card was done for Cindy's Kleenex Box Inspiration Challenge :-)

This card was done for a challenge to get your mojo back. You had to make anything you like just make something monochromatic using your favorite color .. the color you always come back to to get you mojo going again.

I seem to be using alot of butterflies lately but I love them.

My favorite color is chocolate brown and really any shade of brown.

Thanks for the challenge Trish ;-)

I made this one for my sister for Christmas. Of course I LOVE the butterflies :-) I love the stamp set I used here as well.
