Postcard Themed Card Set

Greetings!  Been a while.  

I have been crafting a bit here and there, but no time to post.  

Taking a minute today to share a set of cards I made to give as a gift set.

This set features Lawn Fawn "You've Got Mail" stamp, Simple Stories papers, Paper Smooches Sentiments, and net ribbon.  The inks were SU, Memento and Distress.

 

 

 

With so many layers of paper, these cards were nice and solid.

Thanks for visiting,

Flying By to Say HI!!

So as I sat in my craft room the other day deciding what to play with in the small amount of time I had, and I noticed the brand new pack of Project Life journaling cards that I had picked up at Michael's.  It is a pack of 100.  

What on Earth was I going to do with a 100 of those cuties?

Amy Tsuruta had been posting a bunch of cards from one pad so I was determined to use one up!   (so I can buy a new one... wink wink...)  I grabbed an MME pad and the Lawn Fawn  "Flying By" stamps and went to town!

I stamped the planes on the cute papers and glued them to the journaling 
card with the cute flight path.

 

 

Here's the pile.  There were a few papers left, but not many...

These may appear in gift sets later.  Most of my sets are coordinated, but I think it would be fun to give eclectic mixes this year.  

 

Very busy with the new job as well as a course I am taking to renew my license.  

I apologize for not being able to visit many blogs.  

Class will be finished at the end of October and then I can play some more!

Until I can fly by again...

Thanks for visiting,

CAS set

Been away for a while.  
Spent last week basking in the fun and sun of Arizona.
 
Sharing cards I made for a gift set I gave someone to send some happy mail to others.

They feature Lawn Fawn's "On the Mend" and Hero Arts sentiments.

The flowers were stamped, cut out, and popped.

I added Glossy Accents to the vase.

There's a couple score lines at the top of the card.

44 today, oh my!

Greetings.  

I am up to my eyeballs in Buckeyes.  

I am making 8 batches this year compared to last year's 6. 

They will be bagged up for DH's coworkers and other friends and family members.  

I had planned to decorated Kraft bags, but there's just no time.  

I have gift card holders to make too that I will eventually share.

I am 44 years old today.  
I am so truly blessed.
Thanks to my cyber friends for all fun and inspiration!

Of course I need to share a card.  

I made these for a lady at church to give to her coworkers.

Idea is from Pinterest.

 "Thanks" was stamped using Quinn's ABCs from Lawn Fawn.

The adorable paper is Snap by Simple Stories 

The bottom sentiment was computer generated.

 

 I made a pocket on the inside to hold the gift card.

That stamp is by Deasy Designs.

 

I am entering this set into Simon Says Stamp: favorites (Lawn Fawn stamp)

Still time to join in the Card Drive for Addison!

Contest runs til /12/20, but please feel free to send them a tad beyond that.  If they are postmarked by the 30th, they will still find me!  The postman said so!  (:

Butterfly Set

Hi. 
Back from a wonderful week in sunny Florida.
Great family time.  Boys' first airplane ride and trip to the beach.
What a hoot seeing their reactions to new things!

Today I am sharing a card set I made for someone. 

She wanted a gift to take to a female missionary in Mexico.

She liked the card I made HERE so I decided to make a set of 5. 

There is no sentiment so they could be used for English or Spanish.

The butterflies were stamped and colored with Prismacolor pencils.
I LOVE how the colors pop on Kraft paper.

I added some glitter glue to the butterflies' bodies and in the swirls.

Here's what the inside looks like:

I made a box and stamped and colored it to coordinate the cards:

The box pattern and instructions can be found HERE. 

It starts right away, so it can make you jump if your volume is high.

I have used this video several times and it always turns out cute!

Supplies:

Stamps: butterfly by Stampin Up, Flourishes from ?

Ink: Memento

Paper: cardstock

Other: various glitter glues, colored pencils and mineral spirits, UTUBE video by jacque1263

Thanks for stopping by today!

Happy New Year!

Happy New Year everyone!  It's has been a while since my last post.   I turned 42, celebrated Christmas with the family, and started P90X on Christmas Eve with my husband.  I been worn out from the running/errands and working out, but overall I feel great to get control of my exercise program again.  I injured myself back in October and got completely derailed. 

My husband and I have turned it up!  "Bring it!" as the DVD says...

We have completed the first week.  woohoo!

Anyways, I decided to share a card set I gave for Christmas. 

I posted my original set on Two Peas in a Bucket after being inspired by "momzhart's" use of the white damask stickers ( I cannot find her original card). I cut the side off of the sticker and added that piece to the bottom left.   The dots are done by hand with Liquid Pearls.  I added the salmon color for this set of 8 cards. 

Supplies:  Heidi Swapp damask stickers, Liquid Pearls, MS butterfly punch, MM wire for the antennae, EK circle punches, EK scallop circle, Hero Arts "Classic Messages", different black and white patterned paper, cardstock.

I added a butterfly to the back of the envelopes:

Thanks for stopping by today.  I hope 2011 brings you many blessings! 

I hope to add scrapbook pages to my blog this year.  I started off as a scrapbooker and then used the scraps to make cards.  I would like to catch up a bit on my family history preservation and hope you enjoy seeing those too.  -Kelly
