Hambo Hoedown

I have been out of the loop with the Hambo Hoedown for awhile. I am going to get back in it with this card. It is a digi called Clown Gifts. The challenge this week was to use chipboard. The chipboard is the eighty on top.

I made this card for my oldest siblings birthday which is in a week or so. I wanted it to look very festive. I always enjoy using this image. You can find this image at Hambo Stamps. They have lots of fun digis and rubber stamps too.

OWH-Midweek throwdown

The challenge this week was things that fly. The image is a digi. I had to tone down the whiteness of the picture in order to see the vine embossing on the background. It still just barely shows. In real life the card is very white on white on black. I added the red for just a pop of color. I was going for a very clean and simple look. I popped up the mounted image.

OWH-More Fathers Day cards.

OWH does not have enough Fathers Day cards. So I am working to get some made. I sent off a dozen like this and I have another dozen with different papers almost done. The stamped image is Inkadinkadoo. I think my friend Peggy gifted it to me. It is the first time I have used it. The little circle with Dad is part of the Create With TLC club that just finished.

Fathers Day cards

Just some assorted Fathers Day cards I made for OWH. The first two I used acrylic lure stickers. I made several of each card.

OWH-A manley layered card

 I used some of the stranger papers from the DCWV safari pad. Like ugly peacock feathers and green lizard. You get the picture. I like how it turned out. I have 3 made and I may make a fourth.

A little bit of fine tuning was needed. I removed the tag and along with the tags for 3 other cards I dry embossed them and inked them up a little. Much better. The cards are like the ruffle cards with each layer popped up on the bottom to give the layers dimension.

OWH-Ruffle card

This is my ruffle card from the tutorial that Sandy had. I used Basic Gray papers. The sentiment is my new Impression Obession stamp. This is the first time it has seen ink. Because it is a fall card I will send it when the time comes.

My new bird stamp

I picked up this Magenta stamp on my big spending spree in Salem a week ago. I fell in love with it. I stamped the image with Tuxedo Black Memento ink. I colored with my Copics. On the version with Prima flowers I used cream colored Pearl Drops along the top border. On the version with the music paper I stamped the image twice and cut out and popped the bird body. I made about 15 of these for OWH 

A cup of coffee for you

Just a quick upload of a card for you. I need to get something on here. I am busy trying to get some cards finished so I can send off for OWH.

I am back

The hard drive on my computer crashed and I just got it replaced this morning. I will get something new on here maybe tomorrow. I am tired today from loading everything back on. Time to go watch tv and call it a day.

OWH-Gid-ee-up

I can't believe it has been a week since I updated this blog. I guess I haven't been in the mood. Been busy making cards and reorganizing cardstock and etc. I don't know what it is about reorganizing that I enjoy.

This is a card made with Provo Craft free clipart. I sent off about a dozen of these a couple of months ago. I put the card on the Facebook OWH site but it never made it to my blog. I needed to do some fine tuning to that first one. This was the final result

I am ready now for my second cuppa of the day. Want to have a look at the online news before I get crafty
