new cards

I went to Tracie's house yesterday and brought along some tart & tangy water bottles. The ladies enjoyed them so I though I would post the link to the recipe for the sachet holder again. I found it on Nancy Riley's blog iStamp.


I've been working on a bunch of cards in the past week! Here are some of them:



The original idea for this one would stem from here. But I got the idea for the owl one on Stampin' Connection.



These inspiration for these three below come from Angelstar Stampin' Creations.






The two cards that I haven't credited yet, I will add the info later because I have to look for the links and I will be late for work if i procrastinate some more!!

New owl punch

Today, Natalie, Sonia and I got together to work on some owl cards! They both ordered the Stampin' up owl punch and it was delivered today... so it was a date! We sat down with ideas we found online.

Natalie sent me a card from Rose's world today. All three of us decided to work on a card inspired by this one. It's always interesting to see what different ideas we come up with! Look at our results....



Mine is the one with the striped orange ribbon. I LOVE that ribbon!!



When I saw this sample on Jill Hilliard's blog, I fell in love! I HAD to make this card immediately! I added a ribbon and leaf though to just add a bit of color.


We ran out of time today as it was getting late, but the next sample we want to work on is this one from Angelstar's Stampin' creations.

It was an awesome evening!!

a quick textured card

Yesterday as I was tidying up my craft table (which is my kitchen table), I couldn't help myself but try a quick card! I copied the idea from Becky Roberts of Inking Idaho. I just need to add a sentiment. When I went to add the flower to the right, I noticed that with my choice of ribbon, it actually looked better on the left, on top of the knot. I also layered it in Old olive cardstock, and asked Maelie her opinion on the top part. Do I leave it green or do i cover it in white textured cardstock? Her suggestion was to leave it green. It's too bad that you can't feel the texture on a picture!! It is the charming part of the card!

2 more cuties

Today I worked on these two cards. As usual, they are not my creation. I copied them from other talented crafters!

This one is based on a card I saw on Andrea Walford's site. I LOVED the idea of a strip of glitter! So I just used different paper but kept the general idea and layout.



This little ladybug one comes from Flowerbug's Inkspot. I fell in love with the little ladybugs! They are so cute!

Summertime

Here are two cards I CASED that remind me of summer!

The first card was copied from Flowerbug. Thereare always AMAZING projects on there! I just turned the card around and added leaves instead of the vines because I didn't have that die. I think it looks fuller with the leaves, so depending on the look you were aiming for.. there are so many ways to do it!



This next one, I am actually looking for where I found it! As I mentioned before, I print out the ideas and so if there isn't a watermark on them, I don't usually remember where they came from. I don't take credit for the ideas if they don't come from my head. I LOVE copying ideas and give credit to the right people when I have the info.



Both cards have glitter and look a million times better in person!!

Baby card

We recently had a new baby in our family... so we had to work on baby cards! We found this idea on Sandi Maciver's blog. I made it in blue. Natalie made it in pink.



Isn't it SO cute??

watermelon cards

I decided to try making these cute little watermelon cards today. I got the idea from Heidi Tekunoff on Stampin' Connection. I can't link to that site because it is only for SU demo's, but it's important to give credit!




I made one card in french and one in english. It was a very simple and cute card to make! I LOVE it! It's much better in person... you can see the cute green bling!

I'm a copy cat!

I CASE'd 2 cards this weekend. Problem is, I printed out the pics of what I want to make a while back and sometimes there is no link on the print out!

So my disclaimer: these beautiful cards were not invented by myself. They were copied.

The pics are a bit dark, but I didn't have time to take them outside for a photo session as I am still in my jammies and need to get to work! LOL

birthday chef card

Here is a card I worked on this weekend for a birthday today. So many of my cards are "girlier", but I needed one for a guy. So i had to avoid flowers!!
