Bicycle fun

All of these cards from 1 sheet of paper with bikes. I just couldn't stop until I used them all. I made 17 cards. I used up a lot of leftover pieces of card size paper.

Of course, all of these are from my OWH box

You are the cherry on my sundae

Colored the digi with my Copics. Added some Diamond Glaze to the ice cream

I love Summer

I made 6 of these for my OWH box. The stamped image was colored wirh Copics. I put some Diamond Glaze on the treat to make it pop.

Happy Fall-ODBD June Challenge

The June challenge from Our Daily Bread Designs is to make a card with a non standard shape. I used my pumpkin Nestabilities. I first folded my white cardstock base. It is connected only at the fold on the stem. I reinforced that fold with clear packing tape on the outside. I covered the back of the card with a single layer of cardstock to cover the tape. I dug out my container of fall supplies for the paper. It made me finger and fondle the goodies and want to make more fall cards when it is still summer. I added some Diamond Glaze to the flower centers for a little pop. Stamped the sentiment and tied a ribbon around the stem.

This is for my OWH box so I will have to wait to send it.

Hugs

Hug is a digi. I used up some odds and ends of pretty paper. Any jewels you see are Swarovski crystals. So pretty. I made a dozen of these cards. I have a mix of gender neutral and some more feminine. All for Operation Write Home.

Puppies galore

A batch of cards for OWH. I cut the puppies from a sheet of Basic Grey paper

Original blog hop card

These were the cards I had made for the hop then I read the the instructions again and realized I needed to use an OWH sketch. I made several of the first card. I think I made six because I cut the full sheet of wild paper in 6 pieces. The music note chipboard had several coats of black Twinkling H2Os. I was trying to use up some of my unusual paper on these cards, something a little different.

The stamps are from an Inkadinkadoo acrylic set.

Rock on!

 I wanted to focus on teenagers for my cards. It seems a lot of us have trouble making suitable cards for this age group. The first card uses sketch #33. I used a stamped image and the card is pretty basic. The white of the card base is Bazzill Bling so it does have some pizzaz.

For the girls card I wanted a softer look but still wanted an edgie look. I stamped her on colored paper and mounted the image on more colored paper. For the background I chose  a geometric look. I finished the card with some bling. I used sketch #2 for this card.

If you are not familiar with Operation Write Home   this link will provide you with information. It involves a group of card makers that make handmade cards, according to guidelines, for our troops to send home. We ship them to a designated shipper and they take it from there.

Cluck, cluck, cluck.

I did a couple more variations using this chicken paper. The paper called to me! I love making cards that are masculine. I don't have to mess with ribbon.
