A fun card making blog
This is another card made for an online crop event.
I used a tic tac toe grid and met every element. That grid is below.
I stamped and stencilled the plumeria image and then die cut it. A piece of white cardstock was die cut with a tiny design and backed with green cardstock. On the right side, I used two die cut circles and some small leaf images under the main image. The plumeria flowers were adhered with foam tape and I added an embossed sentiment and some yellow gems.

This is another card created for an online crop event.
The sunset background was created by tearing cardstock pieces and layering them. That was adhered to the card base and I added a woodgrain embossed panel with a die cut circle on top (trimmed 1/2" on the edge). The black leaf image was die cut and adhered partially over the circle opening and I added a stamped sentiment with gold metallic thread on top.

I made this cute card for an online crop event - there was an inspiration photo that I used.
All the pieces were die cut and assembled. The background was partially embossed and inked at the top. I stamped the sentiment at the bottom and added the bird and the flowers. Some yellow gems were placed around the flowers.

This is the third card using these adorable animals!
This one was very simple - the image was stamped and coloured and I also stamped the sentiment under the doggies. I raised the card front on the base with foam tape. Easy!

This adorable card is so easy to make. I chose a doggie theme.
The images were stamped, coloured and die cut. I cut an oval window in the front of the card and added the same size oval inside with the doggies and the sentiment. The inner flap also folds back so there is a large place to write a message.

I finally had a chance to play with a stamp and die set new to me. I love the line-up of animals - there are also dogs and birds but those projects will be posted in the next day or so.
For this one, I used the cats. I had an older CTMH card front that I used and I stamped, coloured and die cut the cat images. That was lined up along a solid strip and the sentiment was placed underneath. I die cut some tiny butterflies and placed them above the cats and added twine along the bottom.

I participated in the Jingle and Joy Card Event by Scrapbooks and Cards Today. It was an online event that was held the last weekend in July.
There were three classes, each with three cards. One class had two bonus cards as well. All are posted below.
Which is your favourite?

I designed this pretty card using shades of purple and yellow.
The circle opening (which is barely visible) was die cut from the top two panels and I placed a lattice background underneath. The peonies were stamped, stencilled and die cut and I arranged them around the circular opening. Opposite edges of the yellow paper were inked and the foiled sentiment was placed off to the side with gold metallic thread underneath. I added some gold gems around the card.

I like to do the Sketchy Saturday challenges and this is the latest one.
I chose a black and white background with pink flowers.
The hexagons were die cut and arranged on a splattered background. The stems were stamped, coloured, die cut and arranged over the hexagons. I added a sentiment across the lower hexagons and placed some silver gems around the card. I used a shimmer brush on the flowers but it sort of exploded on me, leaving far more shimmer than I wanted! Such is life...
Enjoy,
