Create

Hello friends.  Happy Friday.  I hope you are enjoying your day.  I have a card for you this afternoon that is a little bit different from what I usually make.  It's very embellished with flowers.

To begin, I made an A2 card base from Very Vanilla by SU.  I used a piece of brown card stock from Recollections to make the first layer.  I then cut a piece of DP from DCWV and matted it on a panel of Light Blue from Recollections.  I attached that to the left hand side of the card.  I then pulled a page from a dictionary that I had purchased just for crafting.  I used the page that has the word "create" on it.  I inked it heavily with Vintage Photo DI after tearing the edges.  I used a Black Sharpie and circled the word and definition for create.  I attached that page wonky on the card.  The flourishes and leaves I received from my friend Jan.  Thanks, Jan.   I added a bunch of little ribbon roses that I purchased at Jo-Ann's a while back.  They were just hanging around in my stash.  I did have to use my hot glue gun to make them stay on the card.

So, with all those flowers and leaves, I didn't think it needed anything else.  I truly appreciate that you took time out of your schedule to stop by my blog.  Thanks so much.  God bless y'all.

Howdy Friends.  Welcome back.  I have one more card for y'all this evening.  This one uses a freebie that I found online when I first started collecting digis.

I made a 5.5"x5.5" card base from More Mustard (SU) card stock.  I added a piece of American Traditions DP for the back ground.  I trimmed a piece of green distressed DP from American Crafts and added it horizontally across the card.  I then printed the image onto Neenah card stock and used my BIC markers and Glitter Gel Pens to add color to the image.  I trimmed it down and matted it on a piece of My Mind's Eye card stock.  I printed out the sentiment from my computer and added some yellow glitter pen around the edges of the star.  I used a pop dot and added it to the card.

I hope you enjoyed your stop in today.  Have a wonderful night.  God bless y'all.

Good morning.  Happy President's Day.  Kierstynne is off from school today so I am going to use the time to do some laundry and get crafty.

My card for today uses a digi image from Saturated Canary.  I used my new Neenah paper and Spectrum Noir pens.  I also used some glitter gel pens and a white gel pen to do some highlights.

Isn't she cute?  I enjoyed using this image and look forward to using some more from Saturated Canary.  I started out making a card base with a chocolate brown from Colorbok.  I made it 6x6.  I matted the image on the same chocolate brown.  I added a strip of lace and a strip of pearls (Jo Ann's) to the left side of the image.  The sentiment is from Doodle Pantry and I matted that on pink card stock from Recollections.  The DP is from SEI Chocolat.   I used a sketch from Mojo Monday to make the card.  I added two little pearls from Queen and Co. to the sentiment.

The flower is one that I just learned to make by watching a video on youtube.  I took a 12 inch piece of box pleated trim, wound it around my fingers and used my hot glue gun to keep it in place.  I punched out a 1 inch circle and added that to the bottom to help keep the rose in shape.  I added a Paper Studio brad to the center of the rose.  They are so easy to make and they look fantastic.   My sweet husband took me to Hobby Lobby on Saturday and I found some rolls of box pleated ribbon for $1.74 on sale.  I bought four different colors so I am going to be making some flowers.  I think I am going to try different sizes.

Thank you for stopping in today.  I pray y'all have a wonderful day.  God bless.
