Card Wednesday!!!

I would like to thank those of you who have inspired me to make more cards. I don't think of myself as a great card maker but know many of you who are so very talented in this area. THANK YOU!!!

Here are a few new cards I've made- three of which feature the "Me Likey" journal spot stickers from Sassafras Lass and the other one uses scalloped paper from My Mind's Eye.



These three are quite simple- some cardstock, Sassafras Lass stickers, some letter stickers(I used some blue ones from October Afternoon, brown chipboard ones from Basic Grey, and white and grey Thickers from American Crafts) , black pen and ink (since I'm not very good at just leaving the edges clean), a few little embellishments (Sassafras Lass), staples and some American Crafts stitched ribbon.

These scalloped edges are from a 12x12 sheet of patterned paper. I'd cut the paper down to make an 8 1/2 x 11 page and these are my scraps. I decided to layer them and added some doodling and Stickles glitter glue. The cute white trim is from Hobby Lobby and the ribbon from Michael's. Oh, and i used one of those cute little journal spots that I love from Jillibean Soup, stamps from American Crafts and some blue bling from Hero Arts.

Have a great Wednesday!

a couple more cards

The sky cleared for a few minutes, long enough at least, to get some pictures of these other two cards. It has been raining almost nonstop today and I LOVE it.

The first one is quite simple and uses papers from Cherry Arte, courtesy of the July kit from AC Bailey. I especially love that cute charcoal pinstriped paper :) Add some tiny alphas, button and flower from Making Memories and some twine and call it good!

This second one features stamps and June Bug paper from Basic Grey. I colored in the images (not a pro at this at all, and I don't know any fancy techniques yet) and I added some bling for the eyes- Kaiser Craft pearls for the boy and Hero Arts blue rhinestones for the girl. I also added some Crystal Stickles glitter glue to the little heart.

Aren't they such a cute little couple?

Thanks for stopping by and have a great rest of your day!!

Card Wednesday

I am having so much fun making cards lately. I think it's partly because I haven't been very happy with my layouts and making a card is much less to tackle than a whole page.

I have a couple more to share with you later today after the rain and clouds go away. For now, you can enjoy these.

This is just a simple one. I think the paper is Karen Neuberger and the ribbon is from Michael's and Stampin' Up, the tag from Making Memories.

And this card features the lovely Basic Grey Lemonade collection paper and chipboard, Stickles glitter glue, stamp from American Crafts and Webster's Pages lace. Courtesy of the July kit from My Scrapbook Nook.

introducing Card Wednesdays

One of my scrappy goals is to become a better card maker, so I am going to force myself to make more cards by commiting to show you at least one new card on Wednesdays. Won't that be fun?

I am actually excited to do this and am very happy with the way this first card turned out. It's quite simple, I used a standard-sized card base (4 1/4 x 11 folded in half) and cut the red just slightly smaller. I used a Making Memories tag and red Vintage Findings roses (love these!!) as well as a stamp from American Crafts (perfect for this tag, don't you think?) and some miscellaneous trims. I matted the tag on red cardstock, then black, then used my scallop edged scissors to give it a pretty edge. Lastly, I used foam adhesive to give the card a little more dimension.

So, what do you think about Card Wednesdays? Will you join me?
