Shoebox Tuesday

For today's shoebox I made a manly card. I needed to make some birthday cards and I had seen a card on Pinterest that was perfect, quick and easy. So this is my take at what I remember the card was :0)

I stamped the algae on a page of a book...yes I used a book but it was one that was damaged to start with so I didn't feel bad ripping the pages LOL then I stamped my fishes and cut them with Brother Scan N Cut. The ribbon is Celebrate It from Michaels, the message by Stamps by Judith. The photo doesn't show too well but there are bubbles out of peel-off stickers :0)

More faux postage

This is also like the card from yesterday just different colors in direct to paper, same sets I think :0)

Faux postage

Here is another card I did in the past, direct to paper and mixed of stamps. The frame is Just for Fun

Flash from the past

Seems I'm not very productive lately and this is our independence day month thought of sharing some of the cards I made in the past with a Mexican flare (sp??).

The word background is by Hero Arts, the piñata is Rubbernecker, the guitar, sombrero & sarape are Good Stamp Stamp Good, and the frame is Stamp It; I used direct to paper to add the color

Shoebox Thursday

For today's shoebox project I made a quick clean and simple card.  I used Recollections circle punch & EK Success rounder corner punch. I had done the first two samples for it


The stamps are 3 different SU sets:Te amo, Exprésate, and Feliz Cumpleaños 

 

For this one SU set Te Amo, Endless Creations stamps for a special couple and wishing beautiful year

 But since I don't recall my friends do anniversary cards I have two other messages to pick. The first one is by Heartfelt Creations and the second is by A Stamp in the Hand

  

Odd size card

For one of my Yahoo groups I had to make a card that was anything but square or rectangle card so decided to make this coffee cup. I had seen the tutorial while surfing the net and thought it would be simple as a card or gift card holder.

I can't remember who had the tutorial but she only decorated the front and I decide to do front and back mainly because is not a normal card so you get to flip front and back and a coffee cup is round :0) so my sleeve went front and back BUT I only decorated the front. Also the "lid" was done front and back.

The embossing folder is Darice, the heart is an EK Success punch, the sleeve was done with Fiskars crimper, the inside message is a Fiskars stamp set. I also used my corner punch to round the top of the lid

This is the front closed

This is opened

This is the back

Shoebox Tuesday

For today's shoebox I had a very simple card using the double embossing technique. I decided to use one of Tim Holtz diffusers although I had made my own of different shapes.

I used a Cuttlebug embossing folder and a Craft Concepts folder. Also cut two butterflies out of glitter paper with the matching SU's Framelits & Thinlits.
