DRESSER CARD

This dresser card I had made back in January.  I had seen pictures of different dresser cards on the internet, and LOVED them.  I decided to try and make one of my own; and this is what I came up with.  If you would like the dimensions of the card check out my January 24th  post; it is listed there.

LION BIRTHDAY CARD

Isn't this Lion the cutest??  I 'found' this guy on a different card on pinterest.com.  I cased this card from Patti Corriere.  I thought he was so darling, I HAD to make a card with him on it.  Here are the materials I used to make the card:

Blossom punch                                        Melon Mambo Ink and grosgrain dotted ribbon

Cheerful Treat DSP                                 "Happiest Birthday Wished" stamp set

1 1/4" circle punch                                    glitter brads

3/4" circle punch                                       Whisper White cardstock

3/8" circle punch

cupcake punch (eyes)

label punch (feet)

PPA132  Color Challenge

The card I made for this challenge is below.  I tried a new folding technique I just learned called the "teabag" folding technique.  It is quite quick and simple and I LOVE the look of the 'medallion' you end up with when you put the 8 pieces of paper together.

MOJO Monday 234

Here is the sketch for this weeks Mojo234 Monday.  I decided to go 'square' and used an Easter theme!

PPA131 Sketch Challenge

Today's PPA sketch challege was a fun card to make.  I got to watercolor!!  I have always loved coloring!   The framelits that 'Stampin Up' came out with recently are so easy to use and have become some of my favorite things to use when I make cards.

Spring/Easter Cards

The cards I made all reflect upcoming Spring!  In North Dakota it seems like we just started winter in March; we have had a wonderful winter season so far!  It is nice to know that whatever cold, wintery weather we get now will soon melt away to Spring!

 

All four cards I made I used the paper from the sale-a-bration catalog from Stampin' Up!   So many beautiful colors to work with!
