Birthday Cards x 3

Hello and BRRRRR..... it's been a really cold few days here in Texas and rainy too.  I made some more cards, actually three of them.  This first one I made about 2 wks. back but could not share it until today b/c I did not want the recipient, my dear friend Deloris to see before her birthday.  Stamped ink a dink a do stamps on card stock to stick out behind the spellbinder die, added some polka dot tan card stock scrap and recollections flower was added with glue dot.  The sentiment is from Ana Griffith that I had lying around. I then added a few bling stones to match.  Deloris said she loved army green and brown so I hope she likes this card.  Happy Birthday D!

The 2nd card below is for one of my close friends, Buffy.  She is very Girlie and loves Blue.  So this is what I did for her.

 The stamped image is from Stamping Bella. I stamped it in blue Momento ink and colored it up with Copics, then added some lite blue Stickles to the dress also. Flower is from recollections and the bling and feathers are from Prima.    

And last but not least this card is for my male friend Greg and who is also Buffy boyfriend.  I never know what to do for guys so I hope this is manly enough in color anyway!  I used Elizabeth craft stickers and microfine glitter and colored with copics.  My DH says it will pass the test, so i guess that means it is good to go! Sorry about the flash glare, no matter what I did it had that glare in the middle, sorry.....

Well that all I have for right now.  I still need to make 3 more birthday cards for my Dec.birthday friends . And can you believe I still have not got even 1/2 of my Christmas cards done yet.  Guess I better get on the stick and get busy!  Well have a warm and happy Sunday.  Thanks again for coming by for a visit.

Until next time
Big warm hugs

Challenge cards

Hello all.  Just popping in to share 2 cards.  The first one is from my weekly challenge for  the group I belong to Card Camp.  The challenge was to use black and gold and bling.  And here is what I did. After the fact i thought maybe it had to much, what do you think??

 And now this 2nd card is for a challenge over at Gecko Galz, it's for the November Color Challenge - Fall colors. And it will be going to my parents as their Thanksgiving Card.  I colored the digi image with Copics and the die that is doily like is from Heartfelt Creations and the die that the digi is layered on is from spellbinders.  Added some bling and it was done.  It really says Fall to me........

 

That's it for now .  Thanks so much for popping in and do say hello, I love to hear from everyone!

Until next time

A not so perfect card.......

Happy Friday!  It's another dreary gray cloudy day here.  I have been playing around with Peel off Stickers, micro-fine glitter and Copic markers.  So far I have only made 1 that turned out the way I actually wanted it to and tossed 3 others.  So today I thought I'd share the card that I made that has a few issues, it's still an OK card, but just not as great as I would of liked.  Apparently I need a little more practice with this card technique.  Well anyways here is my not so perfect card!  

So can you see where the purple color is leaching out into the yellow?  I think maybe I used to much pressure when coloring with the copics.  It's not horrible but it could be better!  All products except the card base and black stone bling are from Elizabeth Crafts.  I love this technique, just need to practice it a bit.  Elizabeth Crafts has some cool outline stickers and their transfer sheets and dbl sided tape sheets are all very reasonable.  If you have never checked Elizabeth Crafts out, you should.  They have a great gallery and face book page with tons of pics for ideas.   I actually learned about this technique from a dear online card making Friend, Deloris. She sent me a card that was "gorjuss" earlier in the year and I have been wanting to try to make one since.   Well this was just to show that even someone who has been card making for some time has trouble sometime too, LOL

So this card was made for the Tuesday Color Challenge over at Outlawz. here is a pic of the color theme:

 At least my colors look right, even if the card is not perfect, LOL!

It definitely will not win, but just had to share it anyway..... :)
Have a fun weekend.

Until next time,
Bye by

Last of the Fall Cards, I think....

Well hope everyone is doing well today.  It is still raining like crazy here off and on and they say it will continue thru Wednesday sometime.  As promised here are the last of my fall / thanksgiving cards, at least I think it is......LOl.

                Entered this card, above, in the following Challenge(s):

Tammy's Scraping Corner - Fall Colors

Fresh Brewed blog   - Pumpkin or Pumpkin colors

All 3 cards where made with a new Die that I just had to have when I stopped by Archiver', it's made by Taylored Expressions and it's called Quarter Foil.  It cuts so beautifully, used it in my Grand Calibur.  I glued the die to some patterned scrap paper attached with glue to card fronts and then embellished with recollections items.  They where quick to make and I am happy with the result.  Hope you enjoy seeing them.  And thanks again for stopping by my little piece of the online crafting world.  Please do leave me some love, I read them all and do my best to reciprocate the love.

Until next time
Have a fun crafty day!

Alittle late but got it in

Hello everyone.  I had to play and create a card for the Tuesday Color Challenge over at OUTLAWS Challenge site.  I have missed playing along for a very long time and the colors this last week were just to pretty to not play, so I made my card and just got it in on the last day, today, better late than never as the saying goes, LOL!  The color theme is below and my card follows, the twist was to make it Autumn or Fall related.  

Also used this card for my weekly card group challenge, where we had to use 1 stamp 3 times.  Some card friend will be getting this as a RAK soon.  I will be adding the other few fall cards later today or tomorrow so be sure to check back soon.  :
