Good Friends and coffee

I made 4 different looks to go with this inexpensive acrylic stamp. I love coffee cards.

Happy Birthday

These are some cards I made for my personal use. The first card I made for my daughter Betty. I used a Bugaboo digital image colored with Copics. My daughter Candice didn't like it. Not to her taste she said. I don't know if Betty liked it. I will ask her when she is here from CA this weekend. The Sushi card I made at the request of my granddaughter Erica. She has a job this summer as a Girl Scout camp counselor. The counselors don't use their own name. Erica's name is Falcon. Her co-worker goes by the name of Sushi. I had some sushi paper I have never cut into. I used that along with a sushi image from the web. The ocean paper is from  a DCWV kids pad. I covered up the jelly fish with the sushi because you don't eat them.  lol  I used a Karen Foster Snap Stamp to make the word Sushi. Inside I stamped an appropriate birthday sentiment.

Just a note

I made several of these cards for OWH. I colored the Bazzill chipboard note with Sparkling H2Os. I need to make some more of these. Some of my cards really strike my fancy and this is one I really like.

OWH-Mid week throwdown-Miss you

I picked up this cute little fairy stamp and the SU miss you stamp at my St. Vincent dePaul. I think I paid about 50 cents each for them. Trying to use up my DCWV flowered paper. The supply seems endless. I love the simplicity of this card.

OWH-Thank you

Being brief here today. Same design in a 2 different papers. Made several of these for OWH. Quick and simple. Trying to use up some DCWV papers.

Love Ya

I made several of these cards for OWH. Nice summery colors. I have had these strange polka dot Prima flowers for quite awhile and it was time to use them. The sentiment is from Create With TLC.

OWH-Midweek throwdown-fall

Loosely based on OWH sketch #73. I used Prima papers put through an embossing folder. I added some distressing ink to the oval paper. The stamp is Inkadinkadoo. I bought it just for OWH cards. It seemed perfect.

OWH-Mid week challege-Fall

This is my version of a masculine fall card. I had my eye on this stamp at St Vincent dePauls for some time. It was pretty big so I hesitated. I finally broke down and spent $4.50 on it. My daughter says the image is a bear and looks like what she saw in Alaska many years ago. I don't know, I just liked it. I stamped the image then colored all of the black area with a Copic marker. I then copied it onto my computer and printed out all of these perfect images. I then filled in the color with Copics. I have 5 of the top card for OWH. The bottom 2 I am using for personal use. I used sewing on the second card. I wanted to do that with all of them but my machine wouldn't cooperate. The bottom card I used a glaze pen on the blue color. It really pops. On the top 2 cards the paper along the top was hand cut with decorative scissors. The paper is specialty paper that has a nice sheen. It was gifted to me from Australia a couple of years ago from a fellow cardmaker.  I wanted to do some more cards in different colors but my mojo left the house and the images went in the trash can.

Early Bird

I made a dozen of this card for OWH using various colors of paper on the bottom and different rick rack colors. I had my eye on this stamp at M's for awhile. I bought it using the 50% off coupon. It is by Hampton Arts. They make the small $1 stamps you can buy at M's. This was a $13 one.

OWH-Chocolate anyone?

I used up the last of my chocolates paper on these 6 cards. I wish I could find the paper without it being in a pad. It is from the DCWV snack food pad as is the raspberry paper.
