Goth Birthday

| Gerry Morse

Glad you stopped by.

Today’s card is for a very good friend. She started out as our favorite server and now she’s like family. She’s into all things Goth and Halloween. Therefore, a Goth birthday card. Background paper was embossed with a Happy Birthday ef and I distressed the edges with a Tim Holtz distresser. Frame is from the Silhouette, images are online clip art. The corner cupcakes are popped up. Here is a close up of the cupcakes.

Masculine Easter

| Gerry Morse

Welcome. I found myself in need of two masculine Easter cards, one for our 22 year old grandson and one for our16 year old great-grandson so I made two of these.

Card base is white cs, gray layer was run through a crimper, background paper for the bunny is soft birch found online. Bunny is from an online coloring page colored with Copics, sentiment was printed on the computer, eggs are online clip art and fussy cut. Very quick and simple.

Thanks for stopping in. Comments are always welcome.

Quick and Easy Christmas Card

| Judy Inukai

The challenge at  AAA Cards is made in minutes and this definitely fills the bill. After I made the first one and realized how super duper quick it was, I decided to create a bunch more. I cut a white card panel to 5 ½ x 4 ¼. I placed the greenery from the Joyous Season Stamp Kit by Simon Says Stamp at the bottom of the MISTI. After stamping the bottom of the panel in Memento Cottage Ivy, flipped over and stamped the other end. I placed the sentiment from the same set at the other end of the MISTI and stamped it in Memento Love Letter. After stamping I cut 1/8” off all sides and attached to a red card base. If it hadn’t been for this design, I’d still be making cards.

Orange is not my Marmalade.

| Judy Inukai

The theme for the As You See It Challenge 239 challenge is “The color I avoid using most is ____.” Orange is just not my jam. However I was inspired by a card Sandy Allnock made a couple of months ago. It is such fun to watch her create – her cards just come to life. I won a $25.00 gift card from Sunny Studio’s release in August. One of the sets I got was Bountiful Autumn which has some nice Thanksgiving images in addition to some cute turkeys. I made this card for my husband. I was surprised at how much orange I ended up using. In addition to the carrot and pumpkin, there was the table runner – I couldn’t decide on a different color for it. Then the white background was just too stark, so I toned it down by brushing on Dried Marigold Oxide ink. I tried several card bases, but the one that worked best was Tangerine Twist by Gina K Designs. This was fun to do.

Birthday Card

| Diana Scott

Thanks to Bonnie for sending the Desert Image, resized and printed. Brushed a very light distressed ink in the background. Used GK white card stock base, sentiment is from My Anchors Mini Kit (GK). Very simple card.

Christmas card, Style #1

| Diana Scott

This is style #1 of my Christmas cards. Base card is GK paper, the rest is Heartfelt Creations. The card is covered with chunky glitter and really sparkles. I have 10 of these made, all a little different, but the basic concept is the pinecone which is die cut and dimensional. Fun making the poinsettias with the mold press.

Hugs,

Diana

Phases 8-10

| Golda

Phase 8 is Rainbow:

5-16-20 Phase 8 Rainbow

The shiny clouds are made using some Cosmic Shimmer Opal Blaze Polish in Pink Blueberry.  I am absolutely loving the Opal Blaze Polishes.

Phase 9 is Window:

I did 2 different type of window examples.  The dragon is stamped on black with a white pigment ink, then colored using different of the Opal Blaze Polishes.  Definitely had fun with these.

Phase 10 is to do a 2 Fer:  Make 1 panel/piece, cut it in half and make 2 cards out of it.

Here’s one of my panels 5-16-20 Phase 10 2 Fer Panel

And the 2 cards I made using it

5-16-20 Phase 10 2 Fer 2 More of the Opal Blaze Polishes were used on the panel.

Here’s another example

5-16-20 Phase 10 2 Fer 1

So many ways to interpret all of these Phases.

Thanks for spending some of your valuable time with me today!

Phases 5-7

| Golda

Here are the next few phases.

Phase 5 Pull Tab/Movement

5-10-20 Phase 5 Pull Tab

Here it is open

5-10-20 Phase 5 Pull Tab Open

I really like this one.

Phase 6 Leftovers (use those pieces you have laying around from other things you’ve made)

5-10-20 Phase 6 Leftovers

As a lot of my pieces were from MFT, I used their Sketch Challenge for this week to base this on.

Phase 7 Upcycle

Made 2 for this, both using pieces of tissue boxes.

5-10-20 Phase 7 Upcycle 2

Used more of those leftovers for this, too.  I wasn’t too thrilled with it, so made the next one.

5-10-20 Phase 7 Upcycle 1

Whew.  I’ll try and make the rest of the phases this week, but want to get most of these sent out in tomorrow’s mail, so need to get writing and addressing.

Thanks for spending some of your valuable time with me today.  Have a great rest of your day and week.
