Wacky Wednesday 2-25-09

hellow-there-cardI received this through a mail in swap with my up-line Brandi Barnard.  The Card was created by Kasia Jackson.  I think this is a really fun card and I love how it pops open. 

hello-there-card-opening1The card is a 3 1/2″ x 3 1/2″ when it is closed.  One of the fun techniques on this card is she put clear micro beads in the wing of the bird and the cute little leaf is cut out of textured card-stock.

Technique Tuesday 2-24-09

thank-you-flower-rock-rollHere is yet another card from our Shoebox swap.  I love going to these events because I get such great samples from awesome demonstrators in our group.

This card really show cases the fun technique called rock-and-roll.  I love the effect this technique gives to your project and it’s so easy to do.

First stamp your bold image in the lighter color of your choice. 

Next simply roll the edge around the darker color.  This is called the rock-and-roll because you just want to use a gentle rocking and rolling motion to get ink on just the outside edges of the image while keeping the lighter color inside.

Then Stamp your image on your sheet.  That’s it your done.  This technique works best with a nice bold image like this flower.

Marvelous Monday 2-23-09

birthday-wishes-flowersThis gorgeous card is another beautiful project created by my talented up-line Mindy.  This was one of the cards from our shoebox swap a couple of weeks ago.

I love how she used the glitter to make the flowers really stand out.  One of my other favorite about this card is kind of hard to see, but down at the bottom we used the new Eyelet Border Punch just once and then put paper behind it.  I really loved this look.

Stampin’ Sunday 2-22-09

My up-line Mindy Bywater made this for our 3D swap at Convention.  It’s a smaller version of the table top scrapbooks.

This cute little mini album is just 5″ x 5″.  It would make a really cute gift or is a fun album for little girls.  It’s really easy to make and I love that it’s sturdy enough to  stand up on a counter-top or you can fold it up and leave it flat.

Freewheeling Friday 2-20-09

This wheel is retired but I just love this card and had to show it to you.  This card is so simple but I love it.  First she wheeled the butterflies and then she colored them in.  

thanks-butterfiles-cardMy favorite part is that afterwards she covered the entire wheeled section with VersMark® pad and then iridescent ice embossing powder.  I love how it sparkles.  I think it’s such a great card.  I received this card in a swap, but it didn’t have a name, sorry.
