Lisa’s Handmade Cards

Project #11

This weeks Squigglefly challenge is to do a mostly white card with lots of sparkle. This was a true challenge for me. I used a digi sentiment from artist Nina Brackett. I cut two hearts out from felt, sewed them together, and stuffed it. I didn’t think to show a side photo so that you could see that. The patterned paper is from Sassafras. I embossed my card with the Cuttlebug Swiss Dots folder.

Every Monday Squigglefly has a new challenge. There’s a prize now given every week!  The prizes will vary from free images to goodie bags. A Squigglefly image does have to be used to be eligible for a prize.

I’m entering my card into the following challenges as well-

Frosted Designs- embossing

Dare You to Digi- Hearts/Valentines

Project #9

I thought I’d have a ton of time to craft today but it didn’t happen. So instead I had only a few minutes to whip up a card this evening. I’ll take what I can get.

It isn’t Valentine’s Day without my favorite smoochin’ frog. Isn’t she cute? These Whipper Snapper stamps are definitely my favorite image/sentiment combo. I’ve colored her up multiple times and decided this go around to make her pink. She looks sunburned and fabulous at the same time. The patterned paper is from Sassafras.

I’m entering this card into the following contest:

One Stop Craft Challenge- Love & Kisses

Stamp Something- Funny Something

Project #3

This is High Hopes Matchmakin’ Maynard. Isn’t he fabulous!?! I colored him on watercolor paper with my Prismacolor markers which wasn’t the best idea. I’ll have to ink him up again soon. I think he still is pretty fab. The polkadot paper is BoBunny and the main pattern is Sassafras.

I am entering him into the following challenges-

High Hopes- put a bow on it

Cute Card Thursday- something new (Matchmakin’ Maynard was in my Christmas stocking)

Cupcake Craft Challenge- Going Girly

I love Valentine’s Day. It was the one holiday my father decorated for when I was a kid and it is close to my Anniversary. A special time of year most definitely. The heart paper is by S.E.I., the rabbit stamp is by High Hopes, and the sentiment is by Penny Black. I used my Cricut (George and Basic Shapes) to cut out the heart and my Swiss Dots Cuttlebug folder to emboss it.

I’m entering this card into the following challenges-

Scrap & Stamp- Hand Cutting (the rabbit’s are cut out and 3D)

Stamp Something- New Something (both stamps and the heart jewels are new)

ABC Challenge- L is for Layering (lots of those!)

Please do not copy any of my work you find here on my site. I take a lot of time coming up with ideas and putting them in to action. I’ve come across some copycat work that is said to be the users own design and/or patterns. Geeze, at least give me credit! It’s very rude., very rude indeed. Please be inspired by my work- just don’t steal it.

About a month ago I made this card. One of my regulars purchased the card and must have liked it because she asked for five more. Many happy card making hours later and a box of glue dots and they are complete. I hope she loves them!

The stamp is by Forever Friends and the cardstock is all bazzill. The hearts are stickled. The sentiment is from Hampton Art. I’ll be posting my new invite design soon and hopefully will have time to work on some new cards. I colored a few images today that I can’t wait to get to!
