Colorful thanks

When I did these card I had left over pieces wasn't sure what I wanted to do with them and Bret wanted some thank you cards so figure they would make cheerful cards as the colors were bright so place them around and work perfect. I used 2" circle punch, 2-1/4" scallop punch, thank you set from Hero Arts with tuxedo black ink, timeless textures SU's set with carved pumpkin ink

Hello rainbow

This was a fun card for my donation box to Gray Matters Foundation. I cut the die several times to make my rainbow so each card ended up different as I mixed and matched the colors for my message I used W plus 9 set hand lettered hello with tuxedo black ink

Krazy Kreations Kit

This card came from the coffee cups kit by Krazy Kreations. These kits are peel-off stickers and homemade glitter paper then you color the "images" with Copic Markers or any other alcohol marker although the instructions are for Copic Markers. The kit includes papers, envelopes, glitter paper, peel-off and embellishments you just have to provide markers and adhesive for the rest of papers and embellishments. I changed the thick twine that came with the kit for a thinner twine

Shoebox Tuesday

For today's project I made a card using the drapery fold technique as it was one of our Sunday Tip or Technique in one of my Yahoo Groups and it became a mingle recently so two birds with one stone 😊

I stamped my message out of Clearly Besotted's scrumptious script set with blackberry bliss ink then for my drapery fold I used a retired fall SU's DSP. I altered the original measurement of 4 x 11.5" to 3 x 11.5" just so my message would fit better. The ribbon is also SU and also blackberry bliss, the embellishments are also SU

I cut my layer with scallop squares by PPP, don't know who makes the bamboo, also stamps some leaves with new sprout ink just so the koala wasn't flying and cover the right eye with a heart out of the two step owl punch by SU

Back to School

Today is back to school to some of our schools areas not all as some start tomorrow. Paris goes to one that does start today and this year she is going to 3rd grade so I made her a back to school card. It has been a long time since I don't do school cards not having small kids or teachers to make cards to, used to make the cards for my sister when she was a teacher so it was fun making Paris' card.

I used smarty pants Amanda by Stampabilities, I stamped with hybrid black licorice ink and colored with Copic markers. For my 3rd grade I used two sets, the 3 comes from class of by CTMH and the rest comes from number of years by SU I used a marker to color only because the grade had some wave things so just had it in my hand to colored the rest 😊 I found the school bus paper on my stash and thought it work for the background. My layers were cut with Kat Scrappiness double stitched rectangles

Shaker card

In one of my Yahoo groups we had a mingle aka swap that the theme was shaker card because I knew who it was going to go to and I knew what color she liked I made the card specially for her.

The last sympathy cards I made for grandma's relatives were the same as the Shoebox project on Tuesday, I just changed the message, used one that came with the set and different butterfly brad colors

Sympathy frame

With grandma's passing there was several cards that had to be made so for her siblings I made them this card, clean and simple I use one of the papers from JoAnn's that are like shaving cream technique without the mess, marbled look, just cut the paper in 1/4s

then I used a W plus 9 die small butterfly frame mounted in foam, the die comes with an extra butterfly so I glue that to the bottom butterfly and bend the wings but obviously for mailing they flatten; the message is from flourishing phrases set by SU with VersaFine Clair nocturne
