welcome-baby-giraffeI think this baby card is just so cute.  I wish I knew who created it.  I received it in a swap.  The wheel that was used is retired now but there is one similar that you could use to go with it that would give it the same effect.  I love to use the wheels as a quick and easy background.  Sometimes it can make all the difference in how a card looks.

little-bird-cards-holderAt our meeting on the 13th we were each asked to bring a 3D project.  I took my game night score keeper.  Then we drew names to trade with.  I was very excited to get this project.  It is from my friend Megan Dunn.  You can check out her blog at www.welldunnideas.blogspot.com.  This fun little box holds 4 cards with envelops.

birthday-wishes-cardThis was a fun card that I made for swaps last year.  This card used all the fun in-colors from last year.  I believe they were Purely Pomegranate, Blue Bayou, Wild Wasabi,  and Soft Sky.  This is a fun masking technique.  I also used watercolor for the presents.  The tag was done using glossy white paper.  I stamped in VersaMark® and then embossed it.  Then I used the brayer to roll color over the top of it.  The back ground was just using a simple roller.  I love using rollers for backgrounds because they are fast and easy.

107559 Spot On JW $8.50

Wacky Wednesday 3-11-09

So you are probably wondering why these fun cards are featured under Wacky Wednesday.  Well it’s really pretty simple.  When I was looking at these cards and trying to decide where to put them I realized that I had forgotten to post my projects of the month.

good-friend-cardThese cute cards match the projects perfectly.  I will hopefully get them posted later today.  So I figured I was a little Wacky and running behind as usual. 

Since I leave on the 20th and I’m getting a late start on getting out my monthly projects I decided two things.  First I’m going to extend the deadline for this month (see more info with the projects) and 2nd I’m going to give the products to make these to cards with any kit that is ordered before the end of the month.  You can email me at andersoncandice@hotmail.com or call me at 435-245-5321.  Click here to see the projects.

good-friend-circle-cardBoth of these cards were ones we made at our shoebox swap a few weeks ago.  I’m not sure who designed the one with the rectangle but I know the circle one was by my awesome up-line Janice Barlow.  I think they are both really cute.  I love that they both used a different color of yellow and it works great with the DSP.

Swapping Saturday 3-7-09

sparkling-flowerI received this card in a swap as well and have always loved it.  Sorry I don’t know who created it. 

I really wish that you could see it better but the flower in the center is covered with glitter and it just really sparkles.  I am really drawn to the effect that is created by cutting apart the paper after is was stamped.  I just really like the look of this card.

I think the flowers were colored in with a blender pen since two of them are in-colors I belive.  You could also use a Aqua painter.  The yellow was probably colored with a marker.

114954 Doodle This $33.95
100425 2-Way Glue Pen $3.50
102845 Blender Pens (3) $9.95
101406 StazOn® Jet Black $7.95
102023 Dazzling Diamonds Glitter $4.50

Colors- Pacific point, Tangerine Tango, YoYo Yellow, Basic Black, Whisper White.
