Swapping Saturday 3-14-09

thank-you-buterfly-dieThis was my swap from our group meeting on the 13th.  I was so excited to use some of the product from the new occasions mini catalog.  I loved that the butterfly matched the butterfly die cut.  I stamped on the die cut butterfly after I cut it out.  I also used directly to paper technique to add a little more to the edge.  I created the antlers by cutting off the side of the white 1/4″ grosgrain ribbon.  Then I pulled out some of the fibers.  This is what I used to tie around the butterfly.

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.

109065 Chocolate Chip Taffeta Ribbon $6.95
111372 Kiwi Kiss 5/8″ Stripe Grosgrain Ribbon $9.95

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.

Product used:
114954 Doodle This $33.95
100425 2-Way Glue Pen $3.50
102845 Blender Pens (3) $9.95

102023 Dazzling Diamonds Glitter $4.50

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

Freewheeling Friday 3-6-09

sun-fun-cardI received this cute card at convention.  I was created by  D. Waterman (I think that was in her email address).  I love how she used the word window punch to create the Popsicles.  The watermelon is made by cutting the 1-1/4″ and 1-3/8″ Circle punches in 1/2.

I really love how she kept the wheel part simple and just rolled it across in the middle.  She also rolled the background of the white part with a different roller.  This is just a fun summer card.  I think it would also be a cute accent on a scrapbookpage.

111260 Something Fishy JW $8.50
113504 Life’s a Breeze $31.95
109687 See you Around JW $8.50
