Tweet Bookmark & Simple Bunny Card

Lisa — Fri, 30 Apr 2010 20:24:12 +0000

I have two sweet clean, and simple projects to share with you today. I decided to just chuck them both in the same post so here we go. The first one is a bookmark. I’ve never made a bookmark before but since that is High Hopes challenge this week I decided to try it out. I went for simple since it needs to fit in a book and I want Lenny the dragon be the star. I’m entering this into Papertake Weekly’s challenge which is “do something different” as well.

I also made a clean and simple male card. My husband says boys don’t want girly cards so I tried to make it manly. It’s difficult. The only think I wish I would have done differently is emboss the green strip behind the bunny with the Cuttlebug Paisley folder. I thought of that after gluing and I am a glue freak. None of the paper items I make will ever come undone unless you rip them. I make sure of that. Once it’s down it’s down for good.

UPDATE- I forgot to mention I made Handy Five (top 5) at Hand Full of Stamps! Thanks Trish!

A Monster of a Birthday

Lisa — Wed, 28 Apr 2010 17:18:12 +0000

It’s like Christmas…better than Christmas! My larger order of Copics came today!! Woohoo!! I checked the mail while uploaded these pics so I am still on a Copic excitement high.

I’ve had this monster card finished for a couple days now all except the sentiment. I thought it was about time I get it done so I can get it off my desk. The paper pieced monsters name is Smiley and he’s from Squigglefly. Squigglefly has their One a Day in May deal up right now. You pay 30$ and you get a new digi image everyday in May. Not too shabby.

In other news, the sweet scrapper that bought one of my owl paper piecings from my Etsy shop posted the project she made using it. You can check it out on her site- Gen’s Scrapbook Kitchen. She does some super fabulous work.

I’m off to play!

Go Speed Racer Card

Lisa — Sun, 21 Mar 2010 06:22:48 +0000

Project #29

This is one of the adorable images I picked from The Stamping Boutique when I won the Practical Scrappers challenge. The digi image is called AJ the race car driver. He’s all sorts of 3D and made into a sweet little birthday card for some special little boy. The patterned paper is from 7 Gypsies and the sentiment is a rub-on.

I’m entering this card into the challenge over at Charisma Cards which is “something for the kids.” I’m also entering into The Stamping Boutique’s challenge which is a birthday card with the color of your birthstone used (green).Other projects you might like:

High Hopes Dragon Birthday Card

Lisa — Wed, 24 Feb 2010 15:55:38 +0000

I made this card for a fabulous top notch friend who is having a birthday tomorrow. …it’s going to be a little late. Happy Birthday Ricky! I locked myself and my family out of the house yesterday for the second time. I swear I am loosing it. I left my key in the house and my husbands key was at the shop with our one and only car. Thank goodness we have family that lives close! We stayed at family members houses for two days while waiting for our car. It was a relaxing but now I’m way behind on my crafting/orders.

Anyway, all the patterned papers and brads are Bo Bunny (thanks Marianne!). I used cuttlebug folder Perfect Paisley and Swiss Dots. Gavin the Givin’ Dragon stamp is from High Hopes. The sentiment is a rub-on.

Challenges entered-

I followed the sketch at Moving Along with the Times.

Stamp with Fun’s challenge is stitching.

SFC36 Doggie Pile Card

Lisa — Mon, 15 Feb 2010 18:36:12 +0000

Project #15

This weeks challenge at Squigglefly is to use an animal image. I used Doggie Pile by artist Crissy Armstrong. I adore all her images. I love how this card turned out. It’s lacking some embellishment flair but nothing seemed to fit right. So, here it is plain and fabulous. Check out the other DT girls cards too and join in the challenge!

The pattern papers are by Doodlebug. I used my cricut, sewing machine, cuttlebug, and Nestibilities too.

I’m entering this card into this weeks contests at Crafty Cardmakers (digital delights), CRAFT Challenge (digi coloring) and the ABC Challenge (N is for new- the image is new).
