Signs of Full Leaves with Just A Scrappin

Hey everyone!

This weeks challenge at Just A Scrappin is

Signs of Full Leaves - No brown and add some brads

This is harder than I thought it would be! I am so glad Quick Quotes sent me some leaf chipboard. Since that was brown, I sprayed it with some gold glimmer mist. I added some peadpod twine behind the cutout and brads from my stash.



The paper is a quick quotes discontinued line. The sentiment is from Jillibean/Unity

Hope you join us in this great challenge. Fall is righta round the corner!

Same Card 2 Ways! part 1

Hope everyone is having a good week so far! I am now in Tennessee enjoying some vacation time with my boyfriend and his family.

Sometimes when I make a card, I thought it was so cute/easy/fun I want to make another just like it!

So today, I am going to show you the way I took the same design card and make it for 2 occasions.

I saw the original design in a card magazine from a couple months ago and tucked it away as something I wanted to re-create.

The first one started as a Thank You card. I have been getting requests for these at work lately. The glitter paper is from SEI that I have had forever. The twine is of course from the Twinery, in Charcoal. The sentiment is from a Unity/Jillibean Soup set called Apple Cheddar Soup.

Since I need so many birthday cards, I also wanted to make this into a birthday card. The sentiment I wanted to use, from Close to My Heart, is bigger than the thank you. So I stamped in on another panel and moved the placement. 

I inked the edges of everything with Quick Quotes powder puff ink in Maraschino Cherry.

3rd Birthday Card for 2012

Hi all!

I shared with all of you my new year's resolution: To send a birthday card to everyone in my family

I shared my first card here, for my Aunt Dawn. And today I am showing you the card I did for my cousin Manny.

I am going to be the Guest Designer at For Fun Challenges on Wednesday!!!! Come back on then to see the card for my cousin's husband Tim.

I used My Mind's Eye: Fly a Kite 6x6 paper pack. 

I thought it would look great for a teenage boy.

 

I used my new stamp from Unity. I love this balloon.

I paper pieced it together. Stamp on white and cut out the image leaving a little around the edge. Stamp the image on orange and cut out just the top of the balloon. Glue on top of the white piece. Stamp the image on striped patter, circle pattern and yellow paper. cut out the 5 middle pieces of the balloon and glue them on top of the orange. I LOVE the way it turned out!

 

Manny's favorite color is yellow so I knew I had to get it in there somewhere. Since there was no yellow in the pattern papers, it didn't look right when I tried to make the card yellow. 

So I cut a star (Plaintin Schoolbook) that I added yellow flock to and a cute yellow button. I wrapped some brown baker's twice around this square to give it a little more interest. I inked the edge's of all the pattern papers in Quick Quotes "Green with Envy".

I am also entering this card into the following challenges:

Cooking With Cricut: Something New and a Cricut Cut

Little Red Wagon: Felt or Flocking

Papertake Weekly: Anything Goes

Crazy 4 Challenges: Something New

Hope you like the card and remember to come back Wednesday to check out my Guest Designer card for For Fun Challenges!
