Retirement card


I made this card for a dear friend who I worked with for over 15 years who retired last month. I used my copics again and seem to learn a little from every try. I used SU card stock Night of Navy & Whisper White. I embossed the white with the lattice embossing folder (becoming one of my favorite go to folders). Then I punched the side. The stamped image is from MFT - I think it is "A Guy Thing"? whew.. I really shouldn't wait this long to post cards, but is was the middle of Dec when I made this so no time then! I also used Crystal Effects/Glossy Accents on the TV screen to give it some dimension.

Thank You cards for cookies


Thank you all my friends and neighbors, co-workers who bought cookie dough for my son's fundraiser. We appreciated it very much! These are not elaborate but I think they turned out pretty good.

Birthday party Thank You's





Hi, everyone! It is been awhile since I have done much posting. December was busy! I do have a few projects to show you that I haven't had time to post yet, but it was a slow month overall. For starters, here are the Thank You's I made for my DD to give to her friends from her Birthday party (it was in November but I am told it is never too late for a Thank You.. so.. here it is). I used vanilla card stock embossed with the CB Thank You folder. I am not sure what color the pink card stock is but I think it is a retired SU color, old olive is the green. The stamp is SU All a Flutter from last year's mini. I colored the butterflies with SU markers then used the closes Stickles colors to go over it.. DD loved the butterflies! Any tips for better close-up pics? I'm using MF but I still cant get good close-ups! Of course there are a few variations of the same card, too.

A couple of cards





The first card I made for a friend who is going through a difficult time. The sentiment is a Verve stamp, paper is Rich Razzleberry & Very Vanilla cardstock, Cottage Wall DSP. I used a new MS deep edge punch, Spellbinders label, liquid pearls, distress stickles, & SU glitter brads. I was very happy with how this turned out.

The second card was for a challenge on SCS to use Pear Pizzaz, Baja Breeze, and Perfect Plum. If you scroll down you will see I cased this design from my upline - thank you, Jeri!!

Extreme Snowboard


I made this card for my niece for her birthday. The sentiment is from SU Word Play, the skateboarder is Extreme Skateboarding. I used the sponging technique to create the sunrise/sunset background. The colors in the background are barely banana, peach parfait, tangerine tango, and ruby red. The sentiment is inked in Baja Breeze and the cardstock base is Cool Carribean. A little glue pen & SU Dazzling Diamonds glitter to highlight the snow. I think I am startng to get a hang of these backgrounds they are so much fun!

Christmas Cards 2011




I made 42 of these cards in 2 evenings. I kept the design simple so they would go together quickly, but I just loved how they turned out. The second version is the less postage version. :) I used SU Real Red & Whisper White paper, Real Red craft ink & dye ink, glue pen, and SU Dazzling Diamonds glitter. The embossing folder is a CB one from last year I believe called Winter House. The sentiments are both from A Cardinal Christmas SU set. I used the MS snowflake corner punch on the inside. I hope you like it.
