For Janet

Here is another card using some of the new to me pre folded 5.5 x 8.5 card bases.  The pre-coloredimage is from my files - originally from a site called Antique Images.  The two panels are textured ribbon, and the dies are Spellbinders.

Welcome to our church

I am hoping to be more involved in a card ministry at our church.  This will be a card to welcome new members.  The Scripture is from Word Art, and the sentiment is computer generated.  I added a dragonfly charm - just because I have  a whole packet of them I have not yet used!!!

Our 20 something granddaughter was in Peru a few weeks ago, and fell in love with llamas.  I found this cute image on line - perfect with the pink/purple coloring.  The purple polka dotted cs is white on the reverse side - perfect for printing the verse on the inside.  I added some sequins and glitter for a bit of sparkle.  The die cuts are from Spellbinders.

Crafter's Cafe Jan. 15 challenge

For the new year, the Crafter's Cafe is beginning a series of dual themes - choose whichever you prefer!  The mid month challenge offers the option of "layer it up" or CAS, using yellow.  I chose to do layers - I counted eight.  The image is Heart Bouquet by Creative Bug.
I used watercolor pencils to color the hearts.  The papers are from a pad of Valentine DP by Martha Steward - one I have had for several years.  The dotted strips are Washi tape.

Crafter's Cafe challenge #210 - Glitter and/or Christmas

We hope you will join us for the current challenge at the Crafter's Cafe - Christmas, and/or glitter - choose one or use both!  The challenge runs until the end of December.  NOTE:  we will take a little break and resume on January 15.   I have chosen to feature this cute snowman set from MMedelIllustrations.
I colored these cuties with watercolors.  I added glitter to tri the hats and enhance the background snowflakes.  Punched snowflakes and silver ribbon complete the look.

I used more of the plaid cs to paper piece his hat and scarf.  The sentiment is computer generated.
Sadly, Becy's month of Christmas challenges is drawing to a close -  I did not actually make it to "S", but I had fun trying.  Maybe next year!!

Christmas 2018 - more recycling

This is a great sketch to use as I continue my recycling efforts - so many images are quite large.  Here I cut around the wings to make the image fit the A2 size.  I added some gold sticker strips and also recycled a metallic gold package envelope for tha mat as well as the die cut "Joy".

Once again I found pieces of old cards to recycle - the lovely picture and two glittery pieces for the background.  It does not show but the whole left panel is glittery, as are the snowflakes and the star.

Using new dies

I just got a set of Christmas dies from Peachy Cheap,  This image and sentiment were included, though I ordered the set for others that were included.  I am not sure about this - but I can see I need to use a solid background rather than this pattern paper.  That will be for another day!  The strips and mat are shiny gold.  For day 6 at Beccy's Christmas challenge, I used embossed edges on the oval die cut, and ecru colored cs.  Maybe I should add e for eyes - m y macular degeneration is bothering a lot today, and the print is jumping around a lot!

There are several family birthdays coming up.  This is for our youngest granddaughter - she is on the Wings of Blue team at the Air Force Academy - yes, she parachutes out of perfectly good planes!  I used chalk and fussy cut the image - it is from my files but I forgot to list the source.  The planes are clip art, and I used an embossed cloud background - lightly sanded.

I have missed a lot of SplitCoastStampers Teapot Tuesday challenges, but certainly wanted to join last week.  Anita has been supplying cards for her chemo group to use - but Anita herself is not always feeling up to making more cards.  The Teapotters are helping her out by sending an extra card or two - mostly thank you and birthday cards.  I made this one, and will enclose a few others from my RAK stash.  If you would like to know more, here is the link.

Crafter's Cafe DT card for challenge 205 - black, white, one color

The current #205, at the Crafter's Cafe is to use black and white with one color. This adorable angel from Cute as a Button just seemed to need to be surrounded by gold!  I prepared several of the angels while doing this card, so I will be prepared to make a few more Christmas cards.
Details:  O Holy Night image by Cute as a Button;  Snowflake embossing folder by Cuttlebug; unknown DP; glittery gold mesh and cheer gold ribbon; gold glitter, Spellbinder oval dies; Twinkling H20 Egyptian gold.   (I do not do well with adding glitter, and I wanted to use some sparingly on the angel's wings and robe.  I made a wash of white glue and water to paint on designated areas, then added some Tinsel embossing powder by Recollections - then heat embossed.  This achieved the desired result.
We hope you will join us at the Crafter's Cafe for the current challenge.  And we have special news for this challenge:

"The still new Double Trouble Challenge, held on the1st and 3rd Mondays of each month, coincided with our October 1st challenge. We have joined for a linking up of the Black, White plus 1 colour,

If you decide to link your project on both challenges, you have a chance of be a randomly selected winner at The Crafter's Cafe and also  a randomly selected winner of Double Trouble  where the prizes are: If you are in North America, you will receive their "Bag of Things" and if you are outside of North America, you will receive a monetary gift from a popular digital company!  That gives you a chance of winning one of five prizes."

Some new old items to use

I belong to a local crafter's group.  Our leader some times gets items a family is wanting to give to good homes.  The last time, I scored on several lengths of lace and other trims.  I finally had a chance to use the orange lace and the dragonfly trims.  They were a good match for the Our Daily Bread image ( one i had already colored).  I used Spellbinder circle dies and DP from my stashand I added some  shiny orange gems to the dragonflies.

I am so happy how this turned out!  I cut the deer and tree panel from one of the cards in my stash.  The sentiment is from Eureka, and the snowflake bg is embossed from a very much used Cuttlebug folder.  It;s hard to see, but I added Stickles for some sparkly snow.

Upcycled birthday card

Recently I have tried to do more upcycling than previously.  I have reached the point where I really must do something about that stack of cards I intend to use some day...!!!  I also need to use my stash of supplies, stamps, etc - if I make 500 cards a month I might make a dent! (Just kidding, of course!  These days, I am lucky to get a dozen or so a month.)   Here I have used a lovely image from a card - one of the few I have suitable for a guy!  I added the stamped sentiment, and used Spellbinders Labels 1 dies for the image, and sticker strips for the edging.
