Just Because
Topic: Stamping

I colored the image for this card twice - once with watercolor markers and once with Sharpies - to get the depth of color I wanted. Then I fussy-cut the image with it's frame and stamped the greeting inside.

The background paper is embossed with the Cuttlebug and I added a block of pastel plaid as well as stamping a text tag for the bottom. These are all layered directly to the green folded card base. The floral frame is raised on foam dots for dimension.

Blue Notes
Topic: Scrap Recovery

This photo was salvaged from some advertising. I cut in two and pulled colors from the photo for creating simple layers.

The tags used on these cards were from a packaged set where each tag was double layered and included the brad mounting. I stamped them with the greeting, using different orientation for each.

Hippity-Hoppity
Topic: Stamping

Yep, almost Easter! This bunny was colored with markers and then with colored pencils to get the depth I was looking for. I had the tag salvaged from an old project and needed to match the colors. I pulled the colors into the yellow border, the checked paper and the pink folded card base, all of which I rounded the corners on before mounting.

A pink ribbon is knotted over the layers and three yellow fabric flowers complete the framing.

Four For Spring
Topic: Scrap Recovery

Assignment: Make cards for Spring

I used an old calendar page photo and managed to get 4 great sections of pink tulips to use. To me, tulips are the signature flower of spring, so this was perfect. I started with the same folded card base for all the cards and pulled out a variety of coordinating materials for them including ribbon, tags, punched shapes, background papers, stamps and accent papers.

Cards 1 and 2 are landscape format and use parts of the foreground of the picture. The first card has a plaid scrapbook paper added, a stamped tag, and a row of punched out tulips. Card two uses the same stamped tag but features polkadot paper (love this) and a punched out butterfly with lifted wings.

Cards 3 and 4 are portrait view and make use of the distance view from the calendar page. Both of them got a stripe of torn mulberry paper but then the designed diverged.

Card 3 uses a light pink grosgrain ribon with a metal/epoxy tag tied on (it says 'spring'). A paper tag is tucked under them. A large punched buterfly with lifted wings flutters over the field. Card 4 uses this same butterfly but adds in two other sizes to follow it. They each have gold-trimmed bodies. The ribbon for this one is a very narrow dark pink.

So with the same basic supplies there are four different looks.

Paradise Found
Topic: Stamping

Oh, I did it again - I stamped my own image! This one is colored up with watercolor pencils and blended with an aquabrush. Rounded corners make it seem more serene and a yellow border brings in the light. The printed background paper is from the pad with die-cut borders.

The purple folded card base echoes the color of the hills in the illustration.

I used a cardstock sticker for the text.

You Are My Sunshine
Topic: Scrap Recovery

Althoug I like these birdhouses from the stamp catalog, I kind of wish I had used a lighter purple for the fence. With all the other colors it seems a little intense.

I used printed cardstocks as background and mounted on a yellow folded base card.

I found this cardstock sticker with definitions for 'sunshine' and bordered it with marker. Then I hand wrote the black text and added a dotted border to two sides of the pink striped panel.

Hearts in 3D
Topic: 3D paperwork

This 3D image is from the 'Fred She Said' blog. I turned the layers by 45 degrees to add even more depth. Layers of printed papers and plain cardstock echo the colors in the image.

I left a blank lower corner so a greeting could be added at the time the occasion for sending is selected.

Dots on the background echo the dots in the illustration and is repeated in the brad centers in the fabric flowers.

Think Again
Topic: Scrap Recovery

With a stamp catalog image that is all about the message there is no need to add more text to this card. I simply added papers in colors to complement the image and popped it up on foam dots.

Rounding the corners of the image and the papers I then added a yellow folded card base. Three fabric flowers are the finishing touch.

With the gift of a stamped image I colored up and created this Father's Day card. The elements were justified on the left and mounted to navy blue folded card as a base.

I used letter stickers to create the text.

I Love You Forever
Topic: Scrap Recovery

Back to the stamp catalog (was this a good deal at Goodwill or what?) I think this little guy is so cute in his overalls, polo and ball cap. I colored him up with watercolor markers and mounted him over some printed cardstock.

The folded card base was selected to match the hat and stripes of the shirt.

Text is a rub-on with hand-written word underneath.

You Make My Heart Happy
Topic: Collage

I really like how this card turned out. The image is from the stamp catalog and is popped up on foam tape. I used scrapbook papers for the blue stripes and the pink dot paper. I threaded ribbon through the slot in a printed tag and used it for the border between the papers. A second tag is glued to the bouquet.

The three stripes of stitching are a new rub-on 'runner' that I picked up (at 75% off).

What's The Buzz?
Topic: Stamping

Yep, really stamped. Nope, I didn't stamp it. I received the image in a swap. But I did color it my very own self. LOL! I used an embossed cardstock as a background and a colorful strip of stripes.

I added the text with acrylic bubble letters to read, "What's the buzz."

Remember Blessings
Topic: Scrap Recovery

Combining the popular romantic elements of Chocolate and Roses this card features an image from the stamp catalog and colored up with watercolor markers. I mounted on chocolate colored printed cardstock and made slits to tie the ribbon around the stem.

After backing with a rose-colored folded card base I added the 'remember' sticker and a 'blessings' sticker that is a folded tab. It looks the same on the inside of the card.

God Is Love
Topic: Paper Embroidery

After stamping and coloring this image I decided to add a stitched corner element. I used an embossed sheet as a background and layered it over a blue panel and a folded yellow card.

The text is provided by a clear sticker.

Me Missing You
Topic: Scrap Recovery

Wish I owned this stamp instead of just cutting it out of the catalog for coloring with watercolor markers. I got the background from a new printed cardstock pad and loved the layout as well as the color match.

I used a combination of stickers for the text :This Is Me Missing You."

Colored up this image from the stamp catalog and trimmed with a craft knife. A new pad of printed cardstock was the source for the background and I chose red for the folded card base.

The text is provided by stickers.

Baroque Rose
Topic: 3D paperwork

I love how these elements came together. The rose is one of the foil 3Ds and the two layers of Spellbinder frames were received in a swap. I had a years-old scrapbook page-a-day calender that yielded the baroque background

I added photo corners and placed all on tan folded cardstock.
