Flower Pot Easel Card

My friends and I had a challenge to use some our scraps.  In addition, we were to use some form of embossing (wet or dry), and a technique or tool that we'd never done before.

I chose to do an Easel card because I've always wanted to try it (hope this counts as technique).  All of the paper came from my scrap stash and I wet embossed the sentiment.

Challenge met!

BTW... the flower pot easel is an SVG from "My Scrap Chick" that was cut with my Silhouette.

New Home Card...

Just sharing a shaped card that I made for a challenge with a few of my friends.  The challenge was:  Shaped Card, Polka Dots, Ribbon and Bling... All my faves.

This card is a combo of Cricut Cuts and punches.  I had finish my card with punches because my Cricut chose to DIE in the middle of making this card.  It's served me well with no problems since 2007 so I can't complain...(much).

Spring Fun...

Here's a card that I did using Super Sunday Sketch 179 for motivation.  I chose to do have some fun with a  Spring / Easter theme.

Paper is from my scrap supply and the cuts are from the Silhouette Studio library.

Hello... Got Sketch 153

My friend, Karen issued a sketch challenge to a few of us.  The challenge was to create a card based on Valerie Salmon's Got Sketch #153.  This is what I came up with (yeah I know I'm late Karen!)...

All cuts from Silhouette Cameo library.

Congrats - You Did It!!!

I'm still on my quest to build my card collection.  Slowly, but surely, I'm getting there.  I thought I'd add a congrats card to the group. 

I used the Silhouette Cameo for both the card and matching envelope.  I just got the machine and I'm pretty hooked on it right now.  The sentiment on both the tag and card were done with the Silhouette print and cut feature.  I was able to use the "Typenoksidi" font that I'd downloaded from dafont.com and loaded onto my computer (I really like that feature!)  The balloon is one of the many images available for purchase in the Silhouette library.

The paper is from my scrap supply. It was kinda fun to mix all those patterns.

All Occasion - Simplicity

I'm trying to build up my stash.  I'd like to have cards readily available for any occasion.  Life is so busy, BUT  these cards were so quick and simple.  I think I may be on to something.  Simplicity will have to be my new mantra. 

The flower on card one was printed from the Silhouette Design Studio Library.  The die cuts on card two are from Papertrey ink.  Sentiments / Stamps are from My Creative Time w/ Emma.

Enjoy....
