Fab 5 Day 2

This paper was probably my least favorite when we started our projects but it turned out to be my favorite project completed this week. Funny how that works. Just goes to show how you can be creative with anything!! The front side of paper had small dots so that is used as my background. The opposite side had larger yellow dots and my circle Nesties fit perfectly so I cut one out and that is the circle the owl is propped on. I decorated the entire inside as well.....something I am starting to get addicted to doing as well. The 'hello friend' is a clear stamp set and I just bent it to fit the circle.

Supplies: TPC paper, Hero Arts stamp, Cuttlebug embossing folder, Marvy pine punch, Prima flowers, bottons, EK Success border punch (on inside), Nesties, pop dots.

Our first assignment this week was using this Basic Grey paper. I choose to make a Waterfall card.

Supplies: Basic Grey, Cuttlebug cat embossing folders, May Arts ribbon, Hero Art stamp, Judith paw stubby stamp, brads and cardstock.

Hippity Hop

I took a break from my Fab 5 projects to do this card. I have wanted to use the fence punch and it just was not working into my Fab 5 projects at all so I took a breather so I could just create something with the fence.

I masked the eggs to get the basket full and used a Cloud Template to create the sky.

Supplies:Judith stamps, Paper Cut cardstocks, eyelet snaps, MS punches, Copic markers, Momento ink.

Be sure to tune into our blogs tomorrow...we launch another Fab 5 tomorrow!! Enjoy the spring-like weather today.

One of Those Days

Have you ever had one of those days? I think we all have. I had originally came up with the idea for this card due to my grandmother. She is very fussy over her lawn and she had gotten new neighbors last summer who did not rake their leaves. All the leaves would blow into gma's lawn and she'd have to pay to have someone rake and bag them. Well, my gma is quite feisty and we email each other everyday and I could tell she was getting more and more agitated. She was starting to speak of cutting the limbs off their trees. So I whipped up a card for her with the cat behind bars but it had a coupon on the inside for a 'Get out of Jail Free" pass and to call me when she needed bail. I think I had just as much fun making the card as she did receiving it. She still jokes that she has it.

That is another great reason for making cards....not only is it fun and a stress reducer ....you can customize for those rare occasions that Hallmark just isn't going to have a card for.

Supplies: Judith stamps, Tombow markers, May Arts ribbon, CS, photo anchor and just cut the hole for the jail window and thin strips of cardstock for the bars.

Flutter into Spring

This will be one of 4 cards in an upcoming class March 22nd. I felt like making a bright, cheery card this morning.

Supplies: Daisy D's papers, Cuttlebug folder, Nestabilities dies, Hero Arts pearls.

Thanks Very Much

Goodmorning Blog Friends. It is going to be 40 degrees here today!!! Whoo hoo!! So the owl card is appropriate to post today.
This was our free make-n-take last Thursday. Everyone who came to visit us had fun playing with the alcohol inks. They really are easy to work with but can add so much to your projects. The green layer was embossed with the owl folder and then sanded. A sheet of acetate was laid over the top of the image after it was alcohol inked. The metal corner embellie was also inked to match the project.

Supplies: My Minds Eye papers, acetate, American Crafts metal corner, Cuttlebug owl folder, Nesties, Hero Arts stamp set, Ranger alcohol inks.
