Happy Card Maker

Friday,May 20, 2011

Where does the time go? I havn't posted to this blog since the 6th of May. Things are starting to settle down so I will try to get back to posting twice a week.


Todays card is one that I made for a "Funshop" that I was doing for "The Angel Company" For these "Funshops" we usually make two cards that I design. The stamp set used is of course from "The Angel Company" and is called "Joy, Found" T-3319.

It's a very cute set.

The card is very simple. I wrapped "Scrapper's Floss" around the back dark blue mat. I cut slits with my scissors to keep the start point end and the end in place. You can use tape if you want, it works just as well.

The dots in the corners were made using "Liquid Pearls". Works quite well but I am limited in the colors that I have. The "Liquid Pearls" dry faster than the "Stickles". I intend to try the new replacement for the Liquid Pearls made by "Viva Decour". They are surpose to be easier to use and give a better results. I'll let you know.

If you have any questions about this card, let me know by leaving a question in you comment along with how I can reach you.

Have a GREAT DAY!!!

Todays card is from an image that I colored for Easter. Turns out that I had colored to many so I have turned it into an all occassion card;


Here is the card;

I used a Spellbinder die "Labels Small" to cut out the image. I did not have the matching larger die to cut out the mat, so I used the "Ticket Corner" punch to make the mat. The border around the background paper was punched with a "Fiskars Corner,Border punch called Bubbles. The background paper is from "The Angel Company" and is a collection called "Tutti Fruiti". This is a very cute collection of papers.

The sentiment is also from "The Angel Company" and is called "Hoppy Everything" number T-2732.

I added a few rinestones a ribbon and "walla" it was done.

Hope you enjoy todays card. If you have and questions please leave a comment and I'll get back to you.

Have a GREAT DAY!!!

The stamp image used is from "Just-Rite" stamps. The sentiment is from "The Angel Company". The top corners were formed with a .50" corner rounding punch as were the bottom center fold corners. The horizontal and diagonal strips were punch with a "Martha Stewart" punch. On the right panel the poka dot trim was cut using a Spellbinder border die and chalked it while it was in the die.

The flower was covered with Fine Flower Soft. It kind of blkocks out the outline of the flower, but looks cute.

Hope you enjoy today's posting. Your comments are always welcome.

Have a GREAT DAY!!!
