Happy Birthday Balloon

By Cards

Hi all,

I don’t know why, but I’ve been on such a hot air balloon kick lately with my cards. I think is my favorite! I’ve been getting into the practice of designing the interior of my cards to coordinate with the exterior and this card is a prime example of how awesome it is when both sides come together!

Here is the outside

And here is the inside!

As nice as it looks in pictures, this card looks so pretty in reality.

Thanks for stopping by! =)

Online Card Class – Day 2

By Cards

Hi all,

Here we are on day 2 and challenge number 2 for Clean & Simple cards. Todays “homework” is to create a 1 layer card. Believe it or not, this was a huge challenge for me, as I always tend to gravitate toward using physical layers to create a card. For today’s card I wanted to not only make a card, but use an added technique that was shown by the amazing Jennifer McGuire using rainbow colors and watercolor inks. To get the affect I wanted I used InkTense pencils.

Here’s my take on the assignment.

KW Class - Smile

Supplies:

Card Base: Hero Hues Notecard – Blues

Stamp: Stampendous Sunny Flowers

Washi Tape: Freckled Fawn Telephone Wire Washi tape

Online Card Class – Bonus Day 1

Hi all,

I was super excited to wake up today to find that we had a bonus day this week for Online Card Class. The designers all had cards that were themed around die-cuts and asked for students to create a card using die-cuts. Although, I don’t own any physical wafer dies (like they used), I do own a Silhouette (die cutting machine). I immediately headed over the the Silhouette store and downloaded a free die to play with. I love the way this card turned out ! It can easily double as a masculine card.

Here’s my contribution towards Bonus Day 1

Hi all,

I’ve already learned so many tips and tricks in one day and can’t wait to see what the rest of the class has in store. For today’s challenge we are to pay careful attention to craftsmanship and keeping our elements clean and crisp. Here is my take on today’s challenge. Enjoy!
