A card that will keep you reading!

The Bookmark Card - A Greeting with a Gift!


This is a bookmark card... You create a greeting card and have a little extra inside - a lovely bookmark! This will make the person you give this card to want to keep on reading... This card pattern gave me the excuse to get a perforation blade for my paper cutter! ~ Enjoy!

Dream

I have not posted in a very long time... It has been awhile since I have felt any type of crafty mojo going on in my head... but I saw this pattern for a easel card and could not resist... I actually think I am ready to get back to grind...

I love this stamp and use it a lot on my cards... I called this one Dream... I am dreaming that this will be a better year than last... Time to start fresh and new...

Happy Halloween!

I am not one for celebrating big for Halloween, let alone making or sending cards out for this holiday. When I saw this stairstep card and was challenged to make a Halloween theme card on another site - it was on! Here is my Halloween themed stairstep card.

I don't have the complete "recipe" for this card, but here are the measurements - I just saw the card posted and used the measurements the poster gave and it worked great...!

Cardstock (Beige), 4¼” x 9”, scored @ 1 ½”, 3”, 5”, 7”
Cardstock (Beige), 4 ¼” x 11”, scored @ 5 ½”
Orange PP, 4” x 1 ¼”, 4” x 1 ¾” and 4” x 5 ¼”

Gamsol Magic


Anyone out there love magic...? Well, I do and the Gamsol Magic technique is just great and I love it! I happened to stumble onto this technique when doing a search on what more I could do with my colored pencils. Using premium colored pencils and Gamsol Odorless Mineral Spirits you can achieve wonderful colors and shading. I have almost abandoned my Copics (never never) for this technique. If you are looking for a cheaper way of achieving the same coloration you would get using Copics this might be the avenue for you! Here are some of the recent Gamsol technique cards I have done. ENJOY! (Stamps are from Stamping Bella - Lulu collection)

My New Love - Artistic Trading Cards (ATCs)

I have found a new passion for my creative juices... Altered Trading Cards (ATCs). These pocket sized works of art can contain many themes... they can be used as note cards... additions to scrapbook pages... gift tags... or just trade them... here are several I have worked on in the past couple of weeks... Enjoy!
