March's cards

Some of these  you might like, some you may not. But I try, even outside of the box.

This one, I had just gotten this Spellbinders Nestabilities die.  

I was cleaning out my stamp room and found the card makings for an old swap that I missed.  This was my friend Lynn H's card.  Cute huh? It is using Stampin' Up Pocket Silhouettes and Teeny Tiny Wishes.

Another old swap card I found.  This was my creation.  I love this envelope die. Better get it soon! Stampin' Up! is retiring it this month.

This was another swap card makings I had left over from an old swap. This was my card creation. I did the center card in a different way with the purple Spellbinder Nestabilities die.  

Then I was playing around with more of the hydrangea punch flowers and decided to make this cute card. This is Stampin' Up! Totally Tess.  How cute!!! I gave this to my Mother In Law

Then I decided to try my hand at scrapbooking.  The first one I decided to make was for my niece Jessica, my brother's daughter.  (I have two nieces named Jessica, one on each side).

And these last four cards I made because my Mother In Law gave me these gorgeous butterflies.  They are layered with glitter/bling. How gorgeous.  And of course I just got this new Spellbinders Nestabilities die.  LOVE IT!

February 2013 cards

Another great month of making cards. As you can see, I was a little busy.  

I made a "magic" card with a Stampin' Up sailboat.  LOVE IT!! So easy!

Then I decided to case a card I had seen.  This is using Stampin' Up! Stippled Blossom and Perfectly Penned.  I made 2 of each, one Get Well and One Birthday.

This is sad.  I found the most adorable little girl digi images and was buying them up left and right! They are from The Digi Garden, https://www.facebook.com/TheDigiGarden

Not too soon after I started buying them, the owner/artist, Jacqui, who lived in England, her and I started chatting.  Just once or twice, she was not feeling too well and was home recovering.  She even made an image of a little girl named after me!!!  Not even a day after my last email with her, we were told she had passed away.  They no longer sell her images.  God Bless you Jacqui !!! You are missed.  

I had purchased this Spellbinders butterfly die.  What a PAIN IN THE A##!!!!  Just saying, have a piercing tool ready. I was also told to use a piece of wax paper in between the die and the paper to help the die come loose from the paper easily.  I will have to try that the next time I make something with a detailed die.

This one... my Mother-In-Law bought me a Hot Off the Press kit with a cd of ideas and directions to make a lot of different things.  One of them was this card-box.  Check out the video.

My friend Lynn started me with this.  She got the Martha Stewart Hydrangea punch.  I JUST LOVE IT!!!  There are two sizes.  The circle behind it is a Spellbinders die.

This one is using two Stampin' Up embossing folders.  

Another card I've really been wanting to make.  I had to google the instructions on this, but it is SOOOOO easy!!! I love it.    The paper is a Susan Winget paper pack I purchased from JoAnn Fabrics with my 50% off.  Hey, it was 360 sheets of gorgeous paper!!!!

Thanks again for taking a look!!!!

I'm back!!!

I realized recently that some of my friends, Crystal & Mary and I'm sure there are others, do not have a Facebook account. Therefore, they can not see the cards that I post.  

I will post a few things for the past months that I have made cards.

Here are the cards I made in January 2013.  Hope you enjoy them.

This is a Dustin Pike digi image;

These two, my Mother-In-Law bought me these pre-embossed cards.  All I had to do was sponge them with colors and layer them.

Here is another Dustin Pike digi image;

The next four are digi images from Paper Shelter, http://www.thepapershelter.com .  They have some terrific images.

I made this Whipper Snapper Moose for my nephew in law's birthday card.  His nickname is Moose.

The next two are a digi image I found online.  This is the close up of the peacock.  I used colored pencils to color it in.

Another digi image... cow cute!

And yes, another digi image.  

I hope you enjoyed them as much as I had making them!
