Happy Card Maker

Wednesday, March 30, 2011 I am trying to use as many of Magnolias as I can, but I'm running out of images. I guess I will have to break down and purchase some new one. The biggest problem is which one. There are so many new ones, that I having a hard time choosing. Todays card was maded using the image "Tilda with Tag". I like this image because you can print a short sentiment on the tag. My printing,hand writting, is not that good but I try. Here is todays card called "Hello Friend";

Most of the cardstock used on the card were from "Stamp'n Up" called "Pink Passion". Very soft color, but bright. The background paper is a small piece from my stash. I never throw anything away. I used a Fiskars "Corner, Border Punch" around the edges of the background paper The mats for the image were cut using a Spellbinder scalloped circle and a Label 5. I undercut the feet of Tilda .

Of course the image was colored with my Copic markers. Sorry I did not keep track of the colors I was using on this on. I'll do better the next time.

Have a GREAT DAY!!!

The card is in the same style as a card that I posted last week, but I used a different Tilda image. The mats were cut using Spellbinder dies. This time I used the circle dies for the corner elements. The mat for the image was cut using a Spellbinder once again. I did not have the next size up for this one so I cut a piece of cardstock the needed size then used a punch from Stamp'n Up to form the corners to match the Spellbinder die.

The swirls were cut using a 4"X4" "Quic-Kutz" die.

Hope you enjoy todays card, and that you will leave a comment. Comments are always welcome and appreciated.

Have a GREAT DAY!!!

The weather has been great here in Augusta, GA. Temperatures have been in the high 70degrees to the mid 80s. So I was thinking spring flowers. The image I selected is a "Just-Rite" oval stamp. I colored it with Copic markers in the following colors;

• Leaves; YG05, YG09
• Flowers; Y06, Y08,Y17
• Background Grounding; BG10

The main body of the card is a dark brown. Background paper is from a pack from "DCWV" called "Pocket full of Posies" The image was cut out with a Spellbinder die and matted. The side mats at the edge of the card were once again cut with a Spellbinder die matted then cut in half.

The flowers are from the "Recollections" series from "Michaels". The butterflies were cut using a "Embosslits" that I got from "Stamp'n Up". Although you can't see it in the photo, I sprayed the butterflies with some "Tattered Angels" Glimmer Mist in Gold. Adds a nice touch. The butterflies were popped up.

I think the card reflects a very Spring feeling.

Hope you enjoy the card. Remember you comments are always welcome and appreciated.

Have a GREAT DAY!!!
