Make it Monday #96

Here is another card that I made for a demo at the Stamp/Gift shop that I work at.  I recently went to a scrapbook show and they were demoing usine a coffee bean stamp and making it into a ladybug.  I thought the idea was adorable. I thought I would share on Make it Monday this week

Sketch Saturday #214

This is a card I made for my son-in-law. The sketch came from Sketch Saturday.  I saw the idea for the embellishment below the deer on Splitcoast stamper.  It is just foam squares and I just some perfect pearls on one sticky side.  I thought the idea was pretty cute.

Totally Gorjuss #138

The challenge at Totally Gorjuss this wee was sweet and simple.  This is a wedding card for a friend of my husband.  I got this die and stamp from Memory Box a while back.  I just love orchid flowers. I stamped the image in green and colored the flowers with copic markers.  I don't use a lot of designer paper, but have a large stash and decided to use some of it.

DYSU #78 and Stamping Scrapping Challenge

The challenge at Do You Stack Up was blue skies and clouds. Recently someone showed me a really neat way to make clouds.  You cut scallops on a piece of paper with a decorative scissors and then moved it over the paper and used distress inks and an applicator to apply the color.  It really does make beautiful clouds.  The second challenge was at Stamping Scrapping.  Here you were to include one of their products and a bug of some sort.  The product I used was one of the new card creator dies.  I made the bug from an old Spellbinders set I have.

Scrap it with song

The inspiration at Scrap it With Song this week was the song Unwritten by Natash Bedingfield.  Here is my take.  I figure there is nothing more unwritten than a new baby.  This card is for the daughter of a friend of mine.  She has a lot of back problems and they did not really think they would ever have children.  Well she is pregnant and is having a little boy.  The card has a monkey on it because I bought a piece of fleece and crocheted around it and the fleece is green with brown monkeys on it.

MIM #95 and Party Time Tuesday #74

My brother-in-law turned 50 on Monday. This is the card I came up with. It is a double slider card from the 3D and Fun Folds CD from Technique Junkies. All the paper used is from Paper Temptress.  The base and layers of the card are Eclipse Black. The bright green layer is Green Textured. I just love the variation in color of the green textured. The image and inserts were done on Cryogen. The image was colored with Prisma colored pencils. I want to include this card  on Make It Monday and Party Time Tuesday where the challenge was anything goes.

Make it Monday #94

Here is my entry for Make it Monday this week.  This was a card I made for the stamp/gift shop that I work at a couple days a month.  The point was to show that even though a stamp is detailed you don't have to be scared of trying it.  You don't have to color everything.  She just happened to have a watering can in the window which worked out perfectly for the picture.
