Quick card #2

Here is so more just from my scrap of left overs things. Even the card was from when i was practicing embossing using multiple folders with a smooth non-embossed area. Orginally I was planning to use embossing powder in the middle for a sentiment. However, I really like the flower. The scallop circle behind the flower is an extra from the cards I have been prepping for the weekend.

Quick Christmas Card

I have not had a lot of personal crafting time for a bit. I have been pre-cutting 75 cards (15 of 5 different ones) for a class I am teaching on Saturday for church. I finally got it all done. Now I just need to organized all the extra supplies I need to bring and get it organized into packets.

Any way I have been dying to do a challenge and so my goal tonight was what can I make while digging through my scrap stuff. I had the holly that was too big for a project I had made if for, but I still thought it was cute and had spent too much time making and inking it and then I had a sentifment cut out of some ink and embossing I did. I also had to bling it up a bit. Not my best work and now that I am done there are some things I would do differently.

Hope to get some crafting done soon.

CCC # 45

Here is the card I made for CCC #45.

This card has been cut using the Paperdolls dress up. I love thatcart.

One time saving thing I did is I pressed all the clothes and feathers in ink to get the colors I got. That way I did not have to cut many sheets of paper. I just used a couple of colors of paper for the clothes. The skin is all the same color too, but I inked the indians to shade them a bit. I am thrilled with how it turned out. Ilove playing with new techniques. At least new to me.

Season's Greetings Christmas card

 

I ink embossed the right side of this card and then embossed the sentiment.  Pretty simple card, but I think it looks pretty good.

Think Pink Card

I made this quick and simple pink card for the challenge #2 for the world card making day with Creations with Christina. It is an embossing folder I got recently called Sugar from Sizzix. I used of course my new irock on the empty spaces by the ribbon. I was going to use the stones on all the empty spaces, but then all I notice was the stones and not the pretty embossed pattern. I hope you enjoy.

Jitterbuggin Challenge

I made this Halloween card for the challenge here at Jitterbuggin. My little monster is cut from the Paperdoll dress up cart, his bag is from Doodle Charms. It is an Gate fold card. The second one I have made. It was a fun little sketch to follow.

How tweet it! sketch challenge

I have never used this cut before. In fact it comes from a cart I rarely use, except for grass. It is my go to card if I need grass.

So I thought it would be fun to use it for more than just grass. I even got to use my new irock for the mama bird's eye and the sentiment.
I got the sketch from  here.

Halloween card

So my goal with this card was to not use my cricut and to use the colors purple, orange and green. I found this cute house and ghost from a Recollections Halloween pack I got last year with good intentions to use, but a year later I finally cut my first paper. It is a really fun pack.
