Greeting Farm

I made this thank you card two weeks ago with the intention of giving it to a nice lady who works with my husband.  When she found out that I love eating fish, she came to work one day with a whole bunch of fish.  I was also intending to join one of TGIF's challenges but house work and home schooling are really getting into me.  How I wish I could play more those challenges...  I missed it :-(!

 

BTW, I cut the 3D flower using Cricut Flower Shoppe cartridge and I used the quilling tool from Cuttlebug.  I also used Cricut Elegant Edges for the frames and doilies, which was set as a background for the image.  I used Martha Stewart glitter glue just to add some sparkles on the 3D flowers. 

Hope you love it!

For my Babe... my forever and my everything...

I am entering this card to Ms. Emma Aguilar's Throwback Thursday "Cricut-less" Challenge.  Woot! Woot! I am finally able to join her and her creative followers again.  Sometimes, it's really hard to push yourself when your muse suddenly disappears.  Well, thanks to my sweet darling daughter.  She was the one who pushed me to make cards.  Actually it was more of a selfish reasons since she really wants me to make her a card for Daddy. 
Going back to the challenge, the rule is so simple for this week.  She wants us to make a card entry that is Cricut-less, with some kind of a 'thank you' theme/sentiments and you gotta use old school tools.  Here's my take:

I used TGF Miss Anya Love stamp.  All these Miss Anya stamps are so sweet.  I colored the image with Copic then adhered the image to a die-cut doily mat.  I got the doily dies from MFT.  Then, I matted the image and diecut again on Wilton doilies. If you noticed the image is sitting in a sort of dried grass/leaves, which I hope represents the current season - Autumn. The dried grass/leaves was a homemade fluff (flower soft), which I will blog later..

Made the sentiments from a set of sentiments/words stamps from Stampendous. Then embellished the cards with some flowers, glittered ribbon and some flourish bling from Prima.

RECIPE:

PAPER: DCWV, GP 110 white and some unknown CS brand

STAMP: The Greeting Farm and Stampendous

INKPAD: Memento Tuxedo Black

OLD SCHOOL TOOLS: Cuttlebug machine, MFT doily die, MS edge punches, PC paper trimmer and ATG gun

COLORING: Copic markers

EMBELLISH: Glittered ribbons, Prima flowers and Prima bling

OTHERS: Doilies and homemade fluff (flower soft)

Hope my Baby will like the card I made for him.  I misses him so much...SAD, SAD, SAD

Making cards is therapeutic

Another Monochromatic - Black & White

Another monochromatic handmade card, which I got inspired to do.  Like my earlier post, I do love Vintage.  And what is vintage without black & white theme, right?   Try it and you will be amazed of the outcome.  I used to ignore the gray tones in my copic markers unless of course I need them for shadows, which I seldom do.  It's fun to find new ways to use my copic markers...  The possibilities are just endless....

Paper: Basic Grey, Scenic Route, GP, Embassy and Recollection
Stamps: TGF and Hero Arts (sentiments)
Inkpads: Memento, TH Distressed Inkpads

Until next card!

I love feathers!

I have also discovered how nice feathers can be as an added touch to your projects. All of the flowers used in the cards are handmade. Paper doilies were also incorporated in the design. They are so in and as time goes by I'm getting so use in adding them to my projects.

Stamps: TGF, CTMH
Inkpads: Memento and SU!
