Final Days of Card Camp 2....

I can't believe class is nearly over!!  I was able to get a few cards done today, the first being this one for my cutie patootie nephew's first birthday!   I used the additional color combo #1.  I'll be back tomorrow with some more....

Card Camp projects

Here are a couple projects from Card Camp.  These are from yesterday not today....I haven't had a chance to get to today's projects. Hopefully I'll be able to get something accomplished tomorrow - I'm really looking forward to it because the techniques Jennifer shared were really cool!   And I happen to have that verdigris embossing powder she used....what are the odds, lol!!

This next card uses my new Newton's Nook stamps....ordered them Saturday, had them on Monday!!!  Wow, great service!   Love the kitty stamps!

See ya'll tomorrow!

Make it Monday/Card Camp W3, D1

I played along with PTI's Make it Monday today.  The technique Betsy shared was to create a 3-D looking effect using a die cut word.  I chose the hello die and this was actually more difficult than most MIM's for me.  It turned out okay....I'm not 100% satisfied but I think it looks pretty good.  I was also able to use the color combo for  Card Camp 2 (purple, aqua, tan, brown and raspberry).  Yay!!!   I find this week's colors easier than last week.  I think I had a hard time last week because I considered those colors more "manly", lol!!  

I also got a card done for the first week's card camp color combo.  I started in week 2, so I'm slowly getting there!!  I love how this turned out.   Using Copics on the paper before I die cut the word worked awesome!!

Happy Monday, all!

Card Camp , W2, D4

Yay!!   I got another card done for class today!!   The challenge was to use a holiday stamp in a non-holiday way.   I looked through my stamps and settled on a Lawn Fawn set and used the gingerbread house as a regular house. Ironically enough, with all my stamps I ended up using the same sentiment that I used on yesterday's card.  What are the odds?!  I thought this would make a really cute housewarming card.  Again, these colors are really hard for me. I really wanted to use brighter colors....those flowers are just begging to be red, lol!!  

MIM Share

Here is another Papertrey Make it Monday card. Dawn showed us banner borders so I used papers from the Simon Says Stamp May card kit as well as PTI. The harvest berries sprig was an afterthought.....had to hide some accidental ink smearage, lol!

A New Make It Monday!

Well it's about time I played along with another MIM challenge!! This card is especially for the owners of a little bistro nearby that, sadly, (oh, SO sadly!) will be closing soon. The attention to detail that was put into everything they did there will be sorely missed!!! So.....since attention to detail is what they are known for, I put some extra time and effort into this card. All of the strawberry pieces are cut from patterned paper. The stamps and doily die are Papertrey.

Happy Tuesday, all!

Papertrey Make It Monday - Clear Card Base

Well, I've had the clear cardstock for ages and have never used it....apparently I needed the challenge, lol! This is for my son's birthday tomorrow. I think he will like it....I always try to do something "different" for my kids' birthday cards. Have a goodie!! :)
