handcrafted cards . . .heartfelt expressions
Hi,
I made this card for the Dynamic Duo’s color challenge. We were to use the color combination turquoise and black. It is hard to see in my picture but the outfits were colored with turquoise and black. The stamps are from Close to My Heart. I used Tombow dual brush pens and Recollections paper. I love the sentiment. It is sooo true. LOL
Hi,
I hope everyone is having a great week. It is hard to believe October is almost over.
This week OWH has challenged us to make friendship cards for our troops to send home.
I made this card using the Country Life Cricut cartridge. I cut the little pig and hen at 4 inches. I added liquid pearls to the pig , hen and sun for dimension. I also used glossy accents. The paper for the background is from the cricut celebrations paper pack. The ticket stamp is a Close to My Heart stamp and the little tag and sentiment is from teeny tag sentiments by My Creative Time. The finished card measures 5.50 by 4.25.
I love to get feedback, so please feel free to leave a comment.
Operation Write Home along with Tonic Studios has challenged us to create a card for our Troops using sketch #143.
Here’s the sketch…
I decided to create a card with a winter theme. I used Close To My Heart Artiste Cricut cartridge for the snowflakes and the coordinating winter stamp for the sentiment. I used cuddlebug snowflake embossing folder for the background. I highlighted the embossed snowflakes with Tim Holtz embossing ink. I added liquid pearls to the snowflake to give it a little dimension and sparkle. I embellished the bow with a crystal from Megan Elizabeth | Above Rubies Studio
I love the blue and white colors together. The card measures 4.25 by 5.50.
Comments are always welcome.
I made these cards for Operation Write Home’s blog hop. We were to use a winter theme to make cards that our heroes could use to send home to their love ones. The first one is made using Close to My Heart winter sentiment and snowflakes from the Cricut Art Philosophy cartridge.
I used liquid pearls to decorate the snowflakes and the ink was one of Megan’s little juicy stamp pads from Above Rubbies Studio. I love the way the colors match. I added a little stickles to the bottom snowflake and popped up the sentiment and center snowflake to add demension.
The second card was made using the same cartridge and stamp set. Only this time I used the OWH sketch 139 as my inspiration. The pattern paper is from Recollections. I used the liquid pearls again to add demension and sparkle and popped up the center snowflake.
I hope you are enjoying the card hop. Please consider joining us in making cards for our heroes. It is our way of saying thankyou and letting them know we care. Feel free to leave a comment. I love reading them.

Hi all,
I am loving this wonderful weather here in NJ. I was inspired to create this card for the Fantabulous Cricut Challenge when I watched some neighbor children skateboarding today. We were to create a card using a form of transportation. I did not want to do the usual modes of travel so I thought skateboarding would be a great alternative. Hope you enjoy it. I used the cricut cartridge Everyday Paper Dolls and CTMH stamp It’s Your Day for the sentiment.
