I'm seing stars!

No, not our heroes, though they certainly are stars! I've got a starry card--that I now see needs a bit more attention.Ooops, it's amazing how sometimes we don't really 'see' things until we post them. I will go back and add at least a sentiment to this poor little card. Eep.

At any rate, enjoy your day!

Another birthday!

Here's one more birthday card to share with you today.





I always admire a good CAS card; I hope I've pulled it off here! See you soon!

It's a birthday!

So, glad you could join me today! Let's see what's rolling of the old craft table today.






As soon as I saw this DP, I thought of this cute stamp!! Won't this make a fun birthday card for a hero's friend or family member? Ha- sometimes they send them to each other, so we've heard--how cute!! How about you; are you making anything today?

Chipboard stickers #3

Post #3 of the 3. If you missed the first 2, they are all using some dimensional stickers that I thought were fine in the package in the store, but alas, once I got them home and out of their plastic sleeve, now I'm not so sure! (remember that song??)





I'm still working on whether or not this can safely and successfully go through the jaws of the postal machines!

Chipboard stickers #2

Post #2 of 3 using those dimensional stickers that I have questions about, wondering if they are too thick for the postal machines.





Well, I like the composition of this one better than yesterday's card. I've just recently been able to go back to Design Bootcamp (yes, the one from last YEAR! ha) and so I'm just now learning those lessons. What a great resource. If you missed any of the lessons, or can use a refresher, go check them out!! Scoot!

Chipboard stickers #1

Well, we're going into post #1 of a 3 set run here. These were all done with somewhat dimensional stickers and as much as I like them, I'm still trying to be sure they are thin enough to make it through the postal machines. Yet to be determined...





Well, I may end up using them for my own use, or something. We shall see.

Black and white love

Hey, how's it going? Me, I'm fine. Here's my card share for today!





Can you see the Swiss dots on the black? They coordinate with the DP, which has some dots on it, as well. I'm very pleased with how this one turned out. I think it is classy and elegant looking. Do you agree?

Tuesday, July 22, 2014

Similar, but different

Game for more, are ya? Well then, I won't keep you waiting any longer.









I'm hoping that although these are floral, they might be toned down enough for a guy to send to his gal? Maybe? Well, at any rate, I hope someone enjoys them. See you later.

I miss you

Well, fancy meetin' you here. How are ya? Let's get right to it then, shall we?






I'm very happy with the way this one came together! I think the leaves of the EF are a great match to the DP and the other elements just seem to fit nicely. Make it a great day, will ya?

Some more in the DP series

We're working our way through that same series of DP, so you will continue to see that theme in today's post, as well.




This one is simple but I think it works. At least, I hope it does. Have a great day.

Just right

Howdy! Glad you could make it in today to see what I've got to post.





This one was one of those ah-ha kinds of cards bc I found this yellow piece in my scrap file and it fit perfectly!! The yellow was just right and the design was a good match, too! LOVE when that happens. Now go see what you can create!

Bold gold

Come on in and see what I have to share with you today.





Here's another one that I hope is guy-friendly; what do you think? I've got several cards waiting in the wings made from the DP's from this same set. They're not in any order though necessarily- ha! See you tomorrow!

Thursday, July 17, 2014

Thank you

Welcome! I'm glad to have you join me today for another card share.





This card is the other half of another one just about like this one; ha! Imagine that, right? Well, I zipped the green piece in half bc I wanted some DP added into the mix. The green in the map matches the cardstock, so I think it works well. Have a crafty day!

Bees and flowers

Hey, thanks for stopping by! I have more to share today, so let's roll it out.





Ha! This card came bc I had just that much left of this pretty DP after making cards in a post a while back. Now, I know, I could have just tossed it, or recycled, etc, but I think this really does work though, don't you? The EF background is bees. Ssshhh, don't tell the Scrap Wrangler, or anyone else, and I bet they won't know!

Olive you

So, how's your summer going so far? Mine's pretty good, overall.

Here's another share for you today; hope you like it.





This one is from a kit that a generous OWH'er sent me (thank you again!) I think someone will really enjoy it. Take care.

Shades of purple

Well, I have a girly card today, after having quite a run on gender-neutral cards there for a while. I think this one is pretty feminine.





I like purple and I like the different shades together. I was inspired by the DP piece in the middle, which led me to the EF that I chose for the background. Enjoy your day!

Bold neutrals?

OK, so I'm done with my run on teal, at least for now. I do really like it though, so it won't be the end. Today I have this to share with you:








I think you can see the textured white is done in Swiss dots, to coordinate with the gray piece, of course. I thought the red stripe added a nice pop or kick. Once again, can be used for any age and either gender. Great for OWH, don't ya think? Bye for now.

Vintage teal, gold & brown

Well, hi there! I have some more teal for you today, this time with a few other colors added in.





I made a birthday card very similar to this for a friend of mine a couple of years ago and he still has it! YAY! Hopefully, this card will be enjoyed by a hero and his or her family member or friend. See you real soon!

Teal and navy

Hello again! Ready to see what's on the crafty card desk? I guess you are if you stopped by, so here we go! ha

It might be hard to see in the pic (sorry for the poor pics, ugh) but I used an EF to give it some more interest. I think these 2 DP's play nicely together. See you later!

Cherries!

Hi there, just me again. I've got something new today for you.



 
   OK, so these really are 2 different cards, but it's just on the direction the cherries are 'hanging,' if you will. I'm not sure if these would be gender-neutral or not; what do you think? Would a guy send this, or pick it out to send? (It still makes me giggle that guys don't/don't like to pick out floral cards for their gals.) That's it for now; go make something and stop back tomorrow.

Green and cream

Hi; are you all caught up from that fab weekend with OWH and the VCMP? Well, I'm not. ha! However, I do have 2 cards today and here they are!





These are some more that came together pretty easily, once I really looked at the DP bc I thought of this embossing folder right away. Again, they are masculine, or gender-neutral, bc OWH always needs more of those than what they get. Go out and get crafty.

Tuesday, July 8, 2014

Yet another brown and white

Hello there! I don't have VCMP cards on this post yet, but I do have my brand-new-blog-so-I'm-posting- all my catch-up-cards one here!  wink Just to clarify, that's 'catch-up,' NOT 'catsup,' that would be WAY too messy and smelly, etc HA!

SO, with out further delay, here it is:





This one could have (should have?) been posted when I showed you those 3 brown and white cards, but I didn't, so it's here now! heehee I like to do masculine cards as much as possible bc OWH never gets enough of those. Yup, that's right, us girls do lots and lots, and loads and loads of, pink and purple, so there we go! Guess what, I'm one of them! Anyway, not today. Ya'll stop back now, ya hear?!

The morning after...VCMP

WHEW!! What an awesome weekend with the VCMP over at OWH!! In case you missed it, it's on their Stars and Stamps blog and it's wonderfully inspirational!! I have several cards in the workings and hope to complete several more beyond what I have started. In the meanwhile...

I have this!

Some wonderful OWH'er gifted me this DP way back, ever so long ago and it took me a while to figure out just what I wanted to do with it. Yea, I'm 'bad' like that, meaning sometimes, it takes a really long time before I figure things out. Oh well, I'm pretty happy with how it turned out in the end, so there we go. Make it a great week!

Calling all divas!

I thought this would be a perfect design for somebody's diva--I'm sure there are enough of them out there, be it somebody's tween, teen, or lady!
Now go out and make it an awesome day!!

Pretty purple paisley

Today's card came together pretty easily and quickly because once I looked at the paisley piece, it just screamed for the texture of an EF (at least to me!) Luckily, I had CS that matches, so voila! Enjoy your day!

Some melon, chocolate and olive...



I know, what a strange combo...oh, wait COLORS, not food!!  heehee

This DP was also gifted to me by an OWHer, quite a while back. I'm glad I had CS to match!!

OK, a question for you? I think this might work as masculine but does the melon disqualify it? What do you think? Good thing we do NOT separate masculine, etc for OWH- they all go together in their theme. This one is another blank, so that one big category is where it will find its home!

Thanks for stopping by; make it a great day!
