Trying to get back into creating some cards.

I haven't done much in the last 6 months, but am hoping to start playing in the craft room again.
Used Kraft prefolded envelope on this with a strip cut from a Club Scrap "Bold Blooms". Greeting is from Club Scrap "Pure and Simple", Flowers and Pearls from stash.

 

 

The 2nd card is using all papers from my stash.  Created the green piece with my score board and Martha Stewart punch around the page punch.  Also used the score board and Tea dye Ranger distress ink on the edges of the Kraft layer.  Cut the flowers out of stash using a Sixxiz Flower Die, brad from stash.   I will add a greeting at the bottom, depending on rather I choose to do a Get Well, Sympathy or Birthday card.

 

 

 

Thanks for looking.

I haven't posted anything for quite some time.  We live in a55+ community in Arizona and I make the "get well" and "sympathy" type cards when needed for members of our community.  We have a Monday morning "coffee and donuts" and cards get passed around for signatures, when needed.  These are a couple of cards I did this morning.

 

Thanks for stopping by and I promise to keep this up a bit better :)

 

 

The last 2 cards from the past week

These are the last 2 cards of my week as Card Captain on the Michael Strong Group.  Again the primary stamp image is from Michael Strong and the greeting stamps are from the "Because We Care" kit from Club Scrap.  Papers and embellishments are from my stash.  I have some good friends that are going through Chemo and thought these would maybe put a smile on their faces.

Thanks for stopping by.

I'm Finally Back Making Cards

I've been making some cards this week for the Michael Strong Yahoo Group and thought I would share them here

Thanks for stopping by.....the background on the first card is from the Gina K - StampTV video http://stamptv.ning.com/video/pillow-top-background, the Lily stamp is from Michael Strong collection and the greeting stamp is from Club Scrap's "Because We Care" kit.

The middle card uses the coffee cup stamps from Michael Strong - the coffee beans and greeting from my stash.  Papers for all cards are out of my stash.

The Vase on the bottom card is from Michael Strong and the greeting is from the Club Scrap "Because we Care" kit.  Flowers from stash.

A Fun Afternoon of Crafting

On Wednesdays I have a couple of friends that I get together with and "play" with different crafts.  Today it was just two of us.  I ended up practicing with making some paper Rosette's.  I don't have any of the dies for making them, so I just cut strips of paper and used my score board from Martha Stewart.  The three small ones are made with some vellum from Club Scraps Bandanarama kit, the other two were made with some paper I had in my stash.  Buttons from my friend's stash :).

Hope you enjoyed these - they are fun to make and there are so many possibilities for use.  Thanks for stopping by.

Info on the previous cards

someone wanted to know how I did the butterfly on one of the cards from an earlier post today:
The butterfly and dragonfly are both stamps from Michael Strong http://www.strongstamps.com/.
I stamped, embossed and cut each one out and then used foam pop dots to adhere to the card.

Thank you for the great comments.  These are very quick and easy to make.

Cards from the latest TJ Newsletter

These are some cards I meant to post in January when I got the latest edition of the Technique Junkies Newsletter.  I also saw a tutorial just prior to getting that newsletter from Tricia Morris of Club Scrap.  It's a very simple technique with watercolors and you can make some very pretty cards with it.

 Thanks for stopping by and I'll get some more later
