Sketch # 12

Here is my take on sketch # 12 from Card Patterns (- the Design Team did some amazing things with their cards... go look!)

It must be time for a lot of ribbon going through the elements... last week, this week, we'll see what I come up with next week! ;^)

The stamp set is Priceless by SU! and so is all the Lovely Lilac cs and ink, the black ribbon and patterned paper too!
I don't know where the tan and white-ish cs are from... and the brads are from Michael's.

Little cards...

Some 2 x 3 "post cards" I made for my V.T. gals for April...

Made from Colorbok paper, an eyelet, a brad and black pen!

Easy! ...Except for cutting out those flowers...

Win a prize...maybe

I love Boot Loot :^D

And a very Happy Birthday to Emma.

;^D

Drum roll, please...

This week we have sketch #11 over at Card Patterns
and I had a lot of fun with it!


See what I mean?!? Now I just need a cute little guy to send it to ;^)

The card is plain white cs, the rest is all SU! - except the brads which came from Michael's ;^)

A recipe swap

A while back Marie made the suggestion that I should check this out (well that anyone who likes to be crafty should check it out, and you really should because while it may intimidate you at first it is a lot of fun!), and I finally got to go do it... that is I went and signed up on the Splitcoaststampers (SCS) site where I decide it would be fun to get involved in a recipe card swap and here's the card I made and sent for it...

The lighting on this picture is AWFUL! but will have to do since I don't have enough of this paper to make another one and retake it... ;^D

Another Stamp Camp

I was looking for some patterned paper in my supplies and ran across a stamp camp kit that was only half-way finished... what a find!
All supplies for this are SU!

CP Sketch # 10

The sketch this week, and Marie's take on the sketch gave me the idea to do this:

Front of card

Inside of card

I started out with a piece of blue "marbled" cs and cut it down to make the card and left the front edge a half inch shorter than the back. Then I cut out the oval window and frame and used a SU! Background Basics set to make the butterfly background with Brilliant Blue classic ink (SU!) on the blue cs and a VersaMark stamp pad on the brown cs - which you can't really see in the picture, but it's there on the brown frame and brown background, but not on the smaller ovals... any Brilliant blue cs is also plain/no stamps...
I used a CM Mini circle maker to punch the circles after I'd stamped them, and I put it all together with the cute little flowers.

It was a lot of fun to put together!

Supplies:

From SU! - Brilliant Blue Classic Ink & CS

CM - Mini Circle Maker & Oval, blades and cutting mat.

Marbled blue cs, and light brown cs

Flowers from Wal-Mart

March S.I.M.

S.I.M. for March came the beginning of April and I started working on them the day I got my package... I worked through 3 of the sketches (pictured below) and had to stop to wait for some pictures to be developed to finish the last one. The sketches wouldn't copy over for me... so I added the info by the picture for the 2nd sketch. I think maybe the sketches for the other 2 were designed by Marie (is that right Marie? ;^)

I love this card!

Sketch #2 - from kgiron.blogspot.com SSSC08
This card is so pretty!


This one was very easy to put together and I really like the effect of the scalloped bottom edge although you can't see the effect really well in the picture.

Fun Stuff!

A set of cards

My husband needed a set of cards and this is what I came up with for him...
It's all SU! product except the cards themselves. I started out with brilliant blue as the accent until I realized that I had a sheet of the blue (bordering blue - I think?) that matches the background paper and so I changed the accent squares in the 2nd and 3rd cards. Oh and I got the sketch off Split Coast Stampers it was labeled SC202.

The Pretty Card

My 5 year old insists that I must send this to my Mom because it is such a "pretty card"... and my husband wants to send it to his Mom, but since it's "taken" said I could make him another one - Wow! I had no idea it would be so popular, it must just be one great sketch! Without further ado here is the take on Card Patterns Sketch # 9...

And a side-ish sort of view... forgive the background,

I was paying more attention to light than setting :^)

So what do you think?
I used:
White cardstock
Tan cardstock

From Creative Memories - Black Pen, Green Swirly Vellum, & Sticker
Basic Black Ribbon from SU!

I have made... Cards - 6

If you want to know where this is coming from and how we got here (if you haven't seen the other posts) they all have the same title with a different # at the end.

And the last of the stamp camp birthday cards...









And then there's - this one, that I haven't ever added a sentiment to... when I made it I hated it immediately and I was surprised to find that it made it's way into the card box instead of being destroyed. Maybe someday I'll figure out what to do with it!

I have made... Cards - 5

For this SU! Stamp Camp the majority of the cards we made were for Birthdays, so the next 2 posts have what I have left of the many, many birthday cards... and is it hard to guess that I couldn't take pictures of my very, very favorites because they have all been given away! That's why I made them though so I really don't mind :^D

I have made... Cards - 4

2 more posts of my "old" cards, after this one, and we're caught up;^)

2 "Love you" from a SU! card party

2 more Colorbok paper cards made March 25th 2009

And that brings us to a SU! Stamp Camp card.
We made a ton of cards out of this set, and it was so much fun I'll show you more of what we made with this next time!
