WM60 & SSS: Polaroid card

Sharing a birthday card. 

This card features Basic Grey's "Cupcake" collection and Lawn Fawn's "Say Cheese" set.

The design is based on a sketch from Simon Says Stamp.

The camera is stamped on the orange and then paper pieced with 2 papers. 
I colored parts pencils and a glitter pen.

I added the brad for the on/off button.

I used my TH tiny attacher for the flash vs the stamp in the set for texture.

This morning I got my email blast from Paper Trey Ink with a link to Betsy Veldman's blog.

Her tip today was using various fonts on a card which gave me the idea to

mix the fonts from LF and HA in my sentiment.  LOVE this idea!

I cut several circles to layer the image panel and give dimension:

Some smiles on the inside:

BG45 & L12: the cat's meow!

Hi. 

Been busy over here.

  Repairs in the house.

 Last week was VBS week.

Monday the little guy got 8 stitches in his forehead after falling

out of a chair inside the bank. 

He cracked his head on the corner of a desk and it left a gash that bled like a horror movie.  Poor little thing was so brave at the hospital. 

The stitches are now out and he's just fine. Whew! 

Anyway, here's a card I made for a family member's birthday next week.

I stamped the kitty on kraft paper, colored him and then used brown flocking powder.

The card is based on this sketch:

MOJO194 & WM59: Christmas Card

Hi.

I am sharing a Christmas card I made using my Echo Park "Everybody Loves Christmas".

I finished my Christmas LO's and now I can use the scraps for cards.

I used the MOJO Monday Sketch #194 for the design.

Perfect sketch for 1" strips!

The snowman is a sticker from the collection.  I added diamond Stickles for some glitz.

Click on the picture to enlarge.  Seems like Blogger's photos are still a tad blurry.

L11, SSS, WM56: Father's day card

Howdy.

Sharing a card I made today that I will use for Father's Day.  I don't have a "Father's Day" sentiment I like (the one I have is a wonky $1 one), so I used this Hero Arts sentiment.

I stamped the clouds with StazOn on metallic paper and cut them out.
 I stamped and cut out the plane and added metallic pen to the engines/jets and nose. 

I am submitting this to a few challenges:

Maybe It will be cool to have little notes from mommy in his lunch next year...

I hear that other people are getting fuzzy pictures too.  This one is fine on the computer but fuzzy on blogger.. grrrr... I hope this all gets cleared up soon..

Lots of great projects out there in blogland!!  Thanks for visiting and I AM visiting you~Kelly

Thank You Card Featuring Lawn Fawn Stamps

Here's a "thank you" card for A's kindergarten teacher for the end of year gift. 

I still need to decorate the bag. 

This picture shows the tires a little better. 

I think I bought that embossing pen 8 years ago and have just started using it!

The inside.  Flowers from "Cruising Through Life" set and grass from "Critters in the Burbs".

Details:

• Stamped bicycle image on the patterned paper and a few others to cut
• Paper pieced the bike frame, seat, and basket
• Colored the tire black, then used an embossing pen & heat embossed it with black
• The hearts were stamped, colored, some glittered and some have glossy accents.  There's a little masking in the basket of hearts.
• The blue panel was embossed and distressed on the edges
• The top panel is raised with dimensional foam
• I am VERY happy with the results.  One of my all-time favorites!

The design was inspired by this Sketch by Lucy Abrams from the Lily Pad Cards Challenge:
