TGF Twirl Anya post it note easel box card

This was made using the Twirl Anya stamp set from The Greeting Farm. I colored her hair and face with copic markers and paper pieced her outfit. She was layered onto a spellbinders circle and then onto a spellbinders circle heart diecut. The papers are from the flower shower stack from DCWV from my stash. The base and card are 4 1/4" squared. I used the Tim Holtz hitch fastener for the drawer pull. The pen is a mini gel pen from staples and the sentiment stamp is from Stampin Up.

Birthday Card

This card was made for my daughter using a couple of retired sets from Stampin Up (little girl and balloons). The clouds are from a CTMH stamp. The butterlies are from the Stampin Up sizzix beautiful wings die which I have placed a pearl in the center of the butterflies. The grass is from a TAC stamp set which I stamped in wild wasabi ink from SU and sponged around the bottom edge in the same ink color. The clouds and girl were masked and sponged with SU sky ink as well. I then cut the image out with my nestabilities and layed with another nestabilitie die. The balloons were stamped on different patterened papers and cut out. I then placed them on foam dots to add dimension. I adhered some white floss for the strings of the balloons and attached them to her hand, I added the button for a little added interest. The girls overalls and top were paper pieced and shaded with markers.

C.C. Designs card with Fancy Nancy papers

My daughter needed to make a card for her classroom aide and this is what we came up with. She picked out the colors and stamp and mom helped with the layout and coloring.

This card was made using the Fancy Nancy designer paper pack. I used the card base cutout from the stack as our base. The girl is from C.C. Designs which I paper pieced from the stack and colored with the few copic markers that I have and popped her up with mounting foam. I then added glossy accents to her flower and also on the butterfly on the cs layer punchout. The rosette is made from Tim Holtz rosette die with the Fancy Nancy paper. The sentiment is from Stampin Up cut into a banner shape.

Simple Sympathy Card

Sympathy cards are some of the hardest cards to make. Here is one I recently done for a freind. The stamp is from Stamping Up. The image was stamped on white textured cardstock and cut with a rectangle Nestabilitie die and layered with a scalloped Nestabilitie die cut from patterned paper. The background is white cardstock that I ran through the Cuttlebug with a Stampin Up embossing folder.

Teacher Appreciation

This is a regular A2 size card. For the chalkboard I stamped a woodgrain stamp on a tan cardstock and cut a frame with nestabilities square dies, this was layered on the top of a piece of black cardstock that was stamped with white craft ink. The ribbon is from Micheals. The apple, chalk, backpack, scissors and ruler are cut from a Disney Cuttlebug cut and emboss die. I used stickles on the scissors and glossy accents on the apple.

Hello Kitty Butterfly with Peachy Keen Stamps

I tried out my two favorite things on this card (Gypsy and Peachy Keen's Wide Eyed Kids face stamps). If you have not tried Peachy Keen stamps, you don't know what your missing. Kathy's stamps stamp perfectly without much pressure and they bring life to your projects.

I used the butterfly from Hello Kitty Greetings cricut cartridge and hid the contours in the face and body for stamping and highlighted with a jelly roll white gel pen.  The designer paper is from Prima "Rock on Love". The side accents are from Gypsy Wanderings cricut gypsy cartridge. I will add a sentiment later.

Hello Kitty Gift set

My daughter's best friend in kindergarten just recently moved away and she wanted to make something for her. So we took out the Hello Kitty Greetings cricut cartridge and cut out a few Hello Kitty shapes. The purse was made using Stampin up card stock and micheals ribbon and the sentiment is from a micheals dollar stamp. Inside the purse we had made a small beaded bracelet with a Hello Kitty bead in the middle for her to wear. The purse came out 4x4 squared. The brad on the purse is from Target. On the card we had used Stampin Up papers from a mat stack. The sentiment on the card is a stamp from "The Angel Company".

Motorcycle Birthday Card

Off to my nephews birthday party, but I thought I would share the card I had made for him. He is fond of motorcycles and dirtbikes so this is what I came up with. The card base is a standard A2 size card of Stampin Up's Pacific Point cardstock cut 5 1/2 x 11 and scored in half. I then matted a piece of tin foil (that I had embossed with my diamond cuttlebug folder) on a piece of black cardstock. The motorcycle is a Stampin Up stamp and so is the sentiment. I colored in the motorcycle with pacific point and going gray ink with my blender pen and sponged the edges with pacific point ink, then matted the image on black cardstock. Mini brads were placed in all four corners and then the matted imaged was placed on the card with dimensionals.

Christmas Box Card

I had seen the directions for this type of card on a fellow crafter's blog Valita's Designs and Fresh Folds and knew I wanted to try this so here is my take on this type of card. The gingerbread men are from a TAC set that I stamped on Kraft cardstock 3 times (on two of them I excluded the heart and left the heart on one and colored it with a red marker). Glossy accents was used on the heart of the gingerbread man and the others I placed some tiny buttons from my stash. I filled in the frosting lines with my white gel pen. The two background papers are Stampin Up's Bermuda Bay cardstock stamped with snowflakes in versamark ink. The top and bottom gingerbread people are mounted on dimensionals and the middle gingerbread man is mounted on dimensionals on one side, on the other side is a piece of velcro.  The ribbon is red cardstock punched with the lace border punch from Stampin Up. I then shaped a bow from the cardstock and added that to the foe ribbon and added a pearl in the middle. The sentiment is a TAC stamp with Bermuda bay snowflakes lightly stamped in the background and punched out with the SU large oval punch and matted on an SU scalloped oval. I used my white gel pen to doodle dots on the scallops. The inside of the card box has a piece of Bermuda Bay cardstock that I stamped snowflakes with white ink and then used a word background stamp with versamark and clear embossed over the top. The tags are from a TAC stamp set that I had left over from last year that I had made up.
