Welcome if you are new to my blog, please follow me and welcome back to my returning guests. So, on to the projects!
My retro fridge card! I am SO tickled with this card, I got rolled eyes from my husband and a shake of the head when he saw this one. I guess too corny for him, lol, he loves me anyway. So I used the From my kitchen cartridge on this one, the paper is just random stuff from my piles.
I merged two of the shadows on my gypsy then adhered all the layers to the front, the white pieces are from a pearly cardstock I found, super cute and yes, if you were wondering, tweezers were used to put them on the card.
Here is a screen shot of my gypsy so you can see how I laid it out, I cut it all at once, the chill worked out pretty good placing it on the card itself, that way when I placed the back piece on I just had to put the word in place and done! Well, I take that back I had to add some glitter.
Project #2
This cartridge was a Christmas gift so I couldn't wait to play with it! This is the
Snow Angel Imagine cartridge and may I say, I have a new favorite, well a tie for favorite, Create a Critter is my original love. I used a gorgeous blue metallic paper for the background (explaining the horrible glare), cut my snow angel out at I believe it was 6 inches, the gloves at 3 and the snowflakes were also 3 I think, I was bad and didn't write the measurements down. I cut them using the layer option so I could piece them back together using pop dots, I love me some pot dots! The 2 snowflakes by the photo mat are cut in half so I only printed 3 of them. The Title, All bundled up, is cut from
Ashlyn's alphabet, my favorite by far of the font cartridges. I added stickles to the title. The corners are a punch from EK success and there are bigger ones on the corners of the page but it blended in on the photo, sorry for the glare, I tried and tried but since the paper is metallic I just couldn't' get a perfect pic.
Project #3
Well, a post or so back, I attempted to make an adorable banner that said Welcome to the Franklins to hang on my entry way wall. I could not get it strung right so I cut it apart and decided to make a scrapbook page. So the birds are cut from
Give a Hoot and the title is cut from
George & basic shapes
I kept it simple, there are rhinestones for the birds eyes so I'm not sans bling.
Project #4
I used Give a hoot again and as we all know, projects don't always turn out like we see them in our head, (perfect example project above) but, sometimes it does!
This card started with finding a gift on my front porch from my Cardinal. I call him mine because he is the only bird that eats from my feeder outside my front window. So I was so excited to turn his gift into a perfect card. So in preparation for this hop, I was going through my Give a hoot handbook and saw the nest and the vision was born. On my gypsy I created a card by merging two of the base nest pieces, they started out around 4 1/2 inches. Then I cut a single base piece and the twigs piece all from kraft colored card stock. I cut another twigs piece from dark brown card stock.
The eggs are cut from plain white paper and sponged with caramel and chocolate chip ink (SU colors) I molded the eggs to give them a realistic egg shape, oh, I googled cardinal nests an d made the eggs look like they are supposed to. I sponged all the pieces with the chocolate chip ink then came assembly. Sorry to go on and on, but this is my self proclaimed masterpiece :)
My mother gave me the paper twine from something she bought and it works great! I really wanted to add some glitter but restrained myself. I kept it realistic and just added some trendy twine in yellow and green then tucked my precious gift in.
