Stuck Out In The Rain

I tried a new card fold-Joy fold I seen on Cards TV. You can see Mary's video here: http://cardztv.blogspot.com/search/label/Joy%20Fold%20Card Unfortunately my card base did not turn out as it was suppose to. To salvage my card I decided I liked the way it turned out anyway. What do you think?

I used A Child's Year to cut the umbrella at 1.34" and the silhouette at 2". I then used foam squares to pop up the umbrella and flower and used the corners as a closure. I used a jelly roll pen for the stitching. The ribbon is from my stash. The sentiment is from TPC Studio- Playful Expressions. I hope you like how I turned a mistake into a tiered card.

A Little Pick Up For You

Welcome!!

I created this card for two challenges I wanted to enter. Masculine cards are always hard to create and this one was no exception. My card base is 5x7. I used Recollections- Jolly and Bright. My mat is cut at 4.75 and the paper I used is from Cloud 9 Designs. I used Just Because Cards for my truck and cut it at 6.25 and all the layers. After assembling I decided to use buttons for the wheels. I inked the edges using Distress- Vintage Photo. The stitching was done using my Jelly Roll pen-white. The label was cut at 2" from Lacey Labels and then I added I Rocks around the edges. I used foam tape on the truck and label to add dimension.

Let It Snow

I had a lot of fun making this card. I used George and Basic Shapes and welded the circles together with my Gypsy. The card base is cut at 6x6. Next I embossed the front of my card using the Sizzix snow flake embossing folder, then lightly inked the edges and the raised images with Stampabilities Ink-Baby Blue.

I then used Winter Frolic to cut my snowman at 3.5" and the layers. After applying all the layers I used the Simple Sallies face from Peachy Keen and inked the edges with Tim Holtz Distress Ink-Vintage Photo. I then pop dotted onto my card.

The tag is from My Creative Time-Build a Banner set. The sentiment is from Studio G. Gotta love those $1.00 stamps!! I also pop dotted the tag.

The snow flakes are actually seguins and I used a Viva Decor Pearl Pen for the centers.

I used three different types of ribbon or twine from my stash.
