What's Up

This is my card for the May Our Daily Bread Designs challenge. I picked up this stamp last week at St. Vincent DePaul for $2.70. It is a 1995 PSX stamp. My 5 elements are
1-brads
2-colored image with Copic markers
3-distressed the edges of the neutral piece and colored with chalk inks
4-embossed the green cardstock
5-used chalk ink on the green cardstock to simulate reptile skin

These 2 cards I used paper from the DCWV Safari stack.

Cupcake anyone?

Another batch of cards. I used up the last of the cupcakes I fussy cut from a sheet of paper. They are all so yummy looking. The glitter is embossed in so no harm to the troops. I also used a full sheet of paper that had the icing with sprinkles and several pieces of the cupcake and chocolate paper from a small DCWV pad. The sentiments are from Hero Arts and Inkadinkadoo I think

A batch of thank you cards

I really enjoyed using up scraps on these cards. There will be more in the future

Fluffles the cat

I guess I better get this blog updated. It has been a few days. Tis is a Stampendous stamp colored with Copics.

Ride em cowboy

A quick card using some DCWV cowboy papers. Added some little copper brads to the star. That's all folks. Nothing fancy here.

Surfs Up!

I made 10 of these cards for my OWH box. The surfboard paper is from Rusty Pickle. Except for the sand the other papers are DCWV Tahiti Beach stack. All are mounted an Bazzill cardstock.

Patriotic

A couple more cards using the same vintage image and more Bo Bunny papers. The brads in the second card I colored with Copic markers over white to give a more vintage look.

Land of the free, home of the brave

Another 4th of July card using my Bo Bunny papers from last year. The image is from Create With TLC. I colored with Copics and used Antique Linen Distress Ink around the edges and also around the edges of the computer generated sentiment. Did a little sewing on it also. Had to drag my machine out.

Red white and blue

This card will be used for this weeks mid week throw down on OWH. The challenge was to make a summer card. Although I made this card for the Fourth of July it can be used any time by the troops. The circle uses paper from a Bo Bunny pad from last year. The Red paper with the cutout stars is from Creative Imaginations. I cut the paper so the stars were even on each side. I put through a star embossing folder. I had 3 sheets of the paper and I was able to make a dozen cards for my OWH box.

Ford Built

A few days ago I visited my favorite craft store and among other things I bought 4 sheets of paper, not that I needed it. This sheet of cars was one of them.  I cut this in strips and made 10 cards for the OWH box. I used up different colors of Basic Grey paper for the backgrounds, using up some of my really old paper. That felt good. The Ford Built sentiment was computer generated. I positioned it where I wanted it on the card and put all 10 pieces through my printer at one time. I used a speedometer stamp from We Are Memory Keepers that my daughter gave me. A little acrylic set she paid $.99 for . I liked the look of the bare chipboard so I didn't bother to cover it, just stamped right on it.
