2008 Birthday Card Design

I mailed the last of these cards out a couple of days ago, so will go ahead and post a picture now. The bird was made using designs that I cut out of the Cuttlebug Paisley embossing folder.

I made a bunch of these cards up in all different color schemes, but I forgot to scan the other color combinations before I mailed them all off, LOL.

Bad Dog!

I actually remembered to make some Halloween cards this year! I also used this card design for my week #6 swap card, which had to use something 3D on it. I used foam dogs to pop up the dogs ears and tail as well as the moon and bats.

The stamp is my favorite dog image from Penny Black and is colored with Copics (of course!) The tombstones and moon were cut out of the Vintage (pre-sanded) papers by Coordinations.

Week #5 Swap Card

This week we had to make a card with two buttons on it.

October Inchies!

The theme is Halloween.

Swap Card Week #3

We had to use chalks for this card. I was brave and tried a Cuttlebug technique that a friend had told me about. I applied some blue chalk ink directly to the inside of the Cuttlebug folder before running it through my machine. The scary part was when I went to try and clean the ink off the folder, LOL.

I ran a Versamark pad over the embossed part of the image and then colored it with my Stampin Up! chalks.

Unfortunately this next step didn't show up in the scan... To seal it, I sprayed it with some leftover homemade glimmer spray consisting of Pearl colored Perfect Pearls mixed with unscented hairspray. You technically don't have to mix the Perfect Pearls with hairspray to make a glimmer spray- you could just use water... However, if you used water then your mist wouldn't work as a sealer for your chalks, LOL. Anyway, this card is VERY shimmery in real life!
