Yesterday was day one of the Clean and Simple Cardmaking 2 Class…. the heart tree card is my take on the homework we were assigned…

CS2_participant

I used five sets from Paper Smooches (to get enough different hearts) and a couple older clear sets from Hero Arts for the birdie and the sentiments.   Links below to the Paper Smooches sets…

Dot pattern paper is by Paper Studio.  The main image mat is cut with the Perfect Layers tools!  Link in the sidebar or below in the supply links.

This is an A-2 size card (4.25 x 5.5)

Next up is a stack of snowman ATC’s (artist trading cards).  The snowman image is from Artistic Outpost, He is painted with Distress reinkers,  the sentiment from Paper Smooches,  the snowflake border is a Martha Stewart punch and the washi tape is from My Minds Eye!  Cute!  love him!

This ATC is 2 1/2 in. x 3 1/2 in.

I’m linking my ATC to the Artistic Outpost January Referral Program…Anything Goes!  yea!  Hope I win! hehe

It’s a dreary day here (weather wise)… working on laundry…need to send a couple cards (imagine that)!  Are you like me?  Making cards but have a hard time getting them in the mail… ugh! Oh and then back to class!  I do love CAS cards almost as much as coloring cards!   Thanks for looking at my post again… I love hearing from you and seeing what you’re up to! Holler if something doesn’t make sense… ‘Email me’ tab under the header!

Magnolia…Stolen Heart Edwin

Who stole my heart?  My achy breaky heart!  That Edwin…at it again!  This handsome guy is one of the new images from Magnolia’s Sweet Crazy Love collection.

I created a scene using the sketch from Stempeleinmaleins Challenge blog… I used Magnolia stamps, Edwin and the heart/love corner…Magnolia’s Doohickey Mini Zig Zag die for the grass…love it!

When you see the sketch, you’ll see why I used the branches in the top corners…a unique photo corner! lol  I was going to use the CCD Cutter parenthesis die with the AmyR Stamps All About Love sentiment, Be My Valentine but then decided to lay it up in the corner and there it stayed!

The polka dot paper is from the Echo Park, Yours Truly 6×6 paper pad.

ATS Wed. Challenge and SALE!

A new challenge starts today on the All That Scraps Wednesday Challenge blog.   Make a treat box/bag.  I have this Accucut scallop box die that is just the right size to hold two of these chocolates!  Email me if you want the name and number of the die.

I used several of the CC Designs Cutters dies…the new Leafy Branch,  Phlox Flower dies and  the others are the Leaves, Rolling Rose,  Lock and Key, Tags & Banners and Parenthesis. The “with love” sentiment is from the new AmyR Stamps Heart-y Sayings set.  The tinsel-ish looking tie is from a Teresa Collins ribbon pack.  I did edge the papers with Walnut Stain distress ink and the ink blending tool.  I rolled up the rolling rose die, glued it (video under my tutorials tab), turned it over on my desk and hit it with a rubber mallet! lol   I like the “squashed” look on top of the Phlox flower die cuts! lol

Thanks for stopping by!  Wishing you all the best this Christmas season! Take care and have some dark chocolate!

a Love chair…

I needed a wedding card and I love Printworks stamps… so I started thinking and this is what I came up with! One of my favorite chair stamps, the name of it is “Made for Comfort”,  gotta love that!  Here’s another card  I made with it and a different Printworks sentiment.

the card base is a window card cut with an Accucut A7 convert a card die and the window  die….

I stamped the chair on Bazzill green card-stock three times, cut them out and layered them up… I added some copic shading with my sketch markers… love that! The heart I stamped six times, cut them out and layered them, three together to make them more like chipboard hearts/pillows!
