Vintage

This is my entry for the Operation Write Home Virtual Card Making Party Challenge 10. The theme is Vintage. I was excited when I saw the challenge. I love vintage.

The cardstock is Bazzill. The pink dp is Colorbok Rosewood Collection. The image is cut from Tim Holtz Seasonal. The buttons are from Oriental Trading. The ribbon is some I had. I layered a beige ribbon with one in burgundy. The MOM looks like Scrabble Tiles from Oriental Trading. The gems are g studio.

I got the idea to use the paper like this from http://nutsandcats.blogspot.com/2012/02/last-of-my-mothers-day-cards.html . She posted on the OWH virtual card making party.

I decided to stay up late and get this card made since I couldn't sleep.

Seeing Bunnies!

I was so excited when asked to do these cards for the blog! All of my cards are made for Operation Write Home.

I love this image from Inger Harding. I colored him with copics. The blue bling is g studio. The cuttlebug embossing folder used on Colorbok yellow cardstock is called D'vine swirl. The sentiment was made in Word. The fiber is some I have had in my stash it reminds me of Easter grass.The vintage look is Tim Holtz seasonal paper. It is distressed with Tim Holtz walnut. The cardstock is colorbok in green and one in yellow both are distressed. The punch is Martha Stewart scallop. The buttons were from a mixed bag of buttons from Oriental Trading. The ribbon was Micheal's ribbon. The sentiment is from word. The sentiment is distressed with Tim Holtz old paper ink.

This card is interactive in that the egg opens to reveal two little bunnies. The patterned paper is Paper Slab 6 I have had for years. The cardstock is again Colorbok. The pink bling is g studio. The ink is purple from color place. The charms are from Oriential trading. I love the pink egg and bunny. The sentiment is typed in work. The stamps were a set from Oriental Trading. I think the egg looks like it is sitting on grass with this fiber. I love this fiber.

I was able to get some other cards for Easter made they are on earlier post if you would like to see them.

Thank you for looking and happy crafting!

Manly Men Cards

After hours of trying to load photos I was only able to load these.  Not sure if internet or Picasa and blogger just don't play nice together.  On Sunday it was really doing weird things with my photos.  The challenge today at http://www.owhstarsandstamps.org/2011/10/masculine-cards.html was to make masculine cards.  I think these are masculine.  The images were all images from Mygrafico.  I have had this paper for awhile.  They matched well with the images.  I love the vintage truck.  I did not put a sentiment because I like the idea of it being a general card.   I made about 4 each of  different cards.  There are slight differences to make each unique.  Yesterday I went on a bend and created about 20 Christmas cards.  Right now I have 80 cards complete, stamped and tucked. Yeah!
