I created this card using an image I found on google, I altered the image and created a studio file with it. I inked the edges of most of my papers and created my banner from a strip of white cardstock. I folded the strip every few inches then inked up my newly created banner! I choose a few papers from the MME Dream 6X6 paper pad. This paper pad has been great for male cards, I have used it on the past 5 cards Ive made for men. I highly recommend adding it to your collection, I picked it up at Michaels.

Lemonade in a Jar makes you SMILE!

Hello all!

CardzTV Challenge 31
Pause Dream Enjoy Challenge 13
Muse Challenge 23 - I used their inspiration to help me design this card. I pulled colors from their example, I also choose a dancing lemonade jar because the sentiment Celebrate reminds me of an outdoor picnic with dancing, lemonade and lots of smiles.

Summer Flowers: Sentiment Free Sundays # 1

Good Afternoon,
I hope everyone is having a relaxing Sunday! I have been working on making some cards, I decided I wanted to make a stash of cards without any sentiments on them. I figured I could grab one when Im in a rush for any occasion! I thought I could use this idea to start a series called Sentiment Free Sundays! Today will be my first post in this series, I hope to see you along the way!
This is a simple card made with scrap paper in my stash. I used a Peachy Keen Stamp with Momento Tuxedo Black ink as the main flower. First I stamped the flower on white scrap paper. Next I scanned the image into my computer. I then used my Silhouette to cut out the shape of the image. I colored that flower with copic markers. As always I used the same scrap papers to spice up the inside of the card! I think it turned out so cute, very fun and bright! Let me know what you think!

Enjoy!

Good Luck Alligator

Good morning,
Last night I made a card for one of our counselors at work. It is his last day today, he will be missed immensely by the staff and students. I tried to make his card masculine so I used a blue/green/brown color combination. I stamped my image and sentiment using momento tuxedo black ink and colored them with copic markers. I also used the elegant edges cartridge for my stamped image. I entered this card into the following challenge:
Charisma Cardz Challenge # 19

Enjoy!

Bridal Shower Card

One of my good friends is getting married and I attended her shower over the weekend. I decided to make her a card matching her black and white invitations. I didn't want to create a standard card so I found a creative alternative from Teachdanz. I used the Elegant Edges Cricut Cartridge along with paper from a Hobby Lobby white and black stack. I cut out the words on my Silhouette since the cuts can be more intricate. The inside is embossed with a hearts folder from Hobby Lobby and I used the computer to print my sentiment on Vellum before attaching it with brads. I wanted black brads and I didn't have any so I just colored the brads with a black sharpie. Even though my friends theme is black and white I thought a pop of color would really add a nice touch. I used a glitter tape roll from Michaels to add a strip of color to the card. Hope you like it! I will be entering this card in the following challenges, check them out and play along:
Paper Playtime Ch. # 9 
Hiding in My Craft Room # 96

Enjoy!
