Boo! Spooky

A fun card I cased. Oh man, I've got to get better at 'copying' the blogsites that I case from. But just so you know, it's pretty much just casing their recipe/layout... for all the cards, I don't have the same paper, or stamps for the sentiments, in some cases I will have the $1 stamp from Michaels.... as in this card the witches boots!

Deepest Sympathy

I really like this recipe. The words are stamped, the side bar is cuttlebugged and the image is computer generated and then cut out. Also, too, not my favorite card to make, but life and death do go in spurts.... so I try to have a variety on hand, and although the same people would never get the cards I make, I create new ones with different colors and backgrounds. Pretty much never the same card twice. But there are a few recipes I follow for sympathy cards. I tend to stick in the mossy green color and the eggplant or purple color families.

You are the light

Well, these are never 'fun' cards, but I thought I would add a few sympathy cards to my blog, because I do make them. The light house image is off the computer (PrintMaster program) and what I did is print out the image twice and then cut one out and use pop dots to have it 'pop' out a bit to give the card dimension. I often find sentiments and quotes on the computer, then print them, add a similar background and I have a very nice sympathy card.

Bequirky

Here's a fun scarecrow!!! I took scrap paper and cut out the circle for his head, and then proceeded to cut all the pieces to make his neck, hat, flower and nose. Inked the edges. I really like cute and whimsical cards. My adhesive of choice, 3M gluesticks to hold down most of my layers. If I'm having difficulty or using a thicker cards stock, I also like to use double sided tape. Both of these adhesives I buy in bulk from Sam's club.

Sissy & Cooper

Someone was playing with the digital camera this weekend!!! I've told Cooper time and time again to keep those furry paws off the 'shoot' button.... but he just wont listen!!

Fall Finery

Okay, don't think I made these cards today... I've been working in cycles.... reading blogs, checking out galleries, making cards, cleaning, taking pictures of cards, spacing them out and posting them to my blog. There are some days when I work on cards only, but that's about to change. Details later!!

The multiple pumpkins are a very cool $1 stamp from Michael's. Other images are SU! I think one of the first sets I bought eons ago.... oh I like that word eon!!!
I love the earth tone colors for fall (even though today is seems like the middle of summer) orange, cranberry, rust, brown, tan.
