Have a Heart or Two

Jan 272015

Here are a couple of cards that I made for Valentine’s Day.

A sparkly clear button and black sequin were added to the red hearts for a touch of fun.

The large heart was die cut out of the card base. By adhering a piece of double sided designer paper (dp) to the inside of the card, both sides of the dp can be seen. And it dresses up the inside of the card, too. LOVE!

Here are the challenges that the cards are playing along in this week:

Simon Says Wednesday Challenge: “Have a Heart”

Muse Challenge #102: Interpretated Muse by having a large heart and an offset element.

The Card Concept Challenge #27: I have made a “Clean and Simple” card design.

Fusion Challenge: “Two Hearts”

Just Us Girls Challenge: #277: “Photo Week”

Crazy4Challenges – C4C270: “Funky Holidays – Opposites”: Opposites include Black/White, Large Heart/Small Heart and using both the Front/Back of the designer paper in both card designs.

Happy Crafting!

Something To Crow About

Jan 152015

This card was made for my DH for our 40th wedding anniversary. The chicken wire and brick are two different patterned paper designs.

That rooster struttin’ his stuff was colored with Copics. Isn’t he handsome! hehe The Mr. and Mrs. were fussy cut and the edges outlined with a black Copic marker.

Some fun challenges this week:

Simon Says Wednesday – “Its a Guy Thing – Feature a ‘guy’ in some way.”

Addicted to Stamps Challenge #127 – Make Your Mark”

Sketch Saturday #343

Crazy4Challenges – C4C268 “How do you like this “bare” craft room? What you would put in this room? What supplies came to your mind first?
Besides stamps and paper, the first thing that came to my mind for those bare shelves was my Copics.

Happy Crafting!

New Little One

Jan 082015

This card was made for a friend’s son who has (along with his wife of course *grin*) added a new baby boy to their family. I love this sweet patterned paper, and it has done most of the work here.

The sentiment is from a new-to-me set from SU. It’s dolled up with some oval punched cardstock. The entire sentiment is popped up for some fun dimension.
