Fall Card Swap

 


I recently participated in a fall card swap. I made an easel card. 
Colored with Copics.  Stamp set: Hello Harvest, never been
inked before and about a year old.  I am trying to use items
that have not been used yet and making several cards with
them.  I am looking forward to seeing everyone cards.

Fun Fold Inside

 



 

Open: 



Two of the grand kids are celebrating their birthdays together so I made 
cards using clip art of their favorite characters.  Minions and Actonots,
I used free clip art from online. Die cuts used on the Minions,
Scan N Cut for the Actonots. Die cuts used for numbers and
round base.
 
I like this cute fun fold inside so used it for both of them.  You cut
a 6" square of white card stock, score in half each direction and also
once diagonally. Fold and scor well.  Patterned paper is a2 3 3/4" squares
cut in half diagonally.  Notches made with an envelope board.  Aren't 
these cute?

Fun Fold Birthday Card


 


 

I made this Double Decker Pop out card for a friends birthday.  It was not
difficult, you just had to think a bit.  I used a Beautifully Happy set 
from Stampin Up, I've had it and this was my first time using it, I don't
do real well with stamping the color on the image but I am happy
with how it turned out. Papers are Magnolia Lane, it is hard to 
tell but the striped panels are embossed with a linen
embossing folder.

Washi Tape Book Marks

 Joined the craft group at our local community center, we meet once a month and
this month we made Washi Tape book marks.  This would be a great way to
use up some of my stash.  The leader had a fabulous collection of Washi
tapes for us to choose from.

 


 



 

They look like they are laminated but she had us use clear
packing tape and then trip the edges, great idea and easy.
 
I just got back from vacation and am ready to get going on some crafting
and hope to post more often.  Have a wonderful day!

Cars on highway


  I know I have not posted or commented for awhile,  I have had very 
little crafting time with mom dying 8 weeks after dad.  Things are 
slowing down now, and I hope to be back to crafting.

I did get this card made for my grandson's second birthday.  He likes
cars, trucks and all things that move.  I used all his favorite colors
on this card.  It is a new die set by Inlovearts Car on the Highway
cutting dies.  I thought it turned out cute and he liked it.

Hope you are all doing well and I hope to catch up on your
creations soon!

Tri-Fold Accordian Card

This is my second post today:


 
 
I made my first Tri-Fold Accordian card today and thought it turned out
nice.  All supplies from Stampin Up: Spotlight On Nature stamp set
and dies.  Colored with Artists Concepts alcohol markers - got a set
of  42 for $10!  I thought they would be perfect for the group at
Church to use for that price and I was very  impressed with them.

Hope you are all having a good week!
