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,
Here is another birthday card I made for the OWH birthday challenge. I find male themed cards very hard to make. I think this one works great for a male birthday card. I used my silhouette and the print and cut feature to create the car card. I purchased the car shape card from silhouette online store. If you haven’t tried the cut and print feature, I highly recommend giving it a go. There are 
a lot of videos on you tube that explain how it works. It really is very easy. The stamps for my card are from Close to My Heart. I paper pieced them on the card. I really like the way the card came out and plan on making one for my brother-in-law with his name on the license plate instead of USA.
Hi all,
I wanted to share this birthday card I made for my granddaughter’s third birthday.
It is a shape card using the cupcake from the CTM Cricut Artiste Cartridge. The teddy bear is from the Teddy Bear on Parade lite cartridge. I love these cartridges. They have everything you could ever need. I am going to make several more of these without the birthday number for Operation Write Home. I could put a cherry on top instead. They are requesting birthday cards for children this month.
Happy New Year,
I hope everyone had a great holiday. I was blessed with a new granddaughter on Dec.18. Absolutely the best Christmas present. Now I need to start a scrap book for her.
My brother in law’s birthday is in Dec. I find it hard to make cards for men. I found this shape card on the Artiste Cricut cartridge. It really came out cute. Sorry for the bad pic. I made a G on his pocket. Can you guess what his name begins with?
This week OWH challenged us to make Winter themed cards that are fun for our heroes to send home
to their family and friends! I made both of these cards using the Cricut Very Merry Tags cartridge. I had a lot of fun using this cartridge and plan on making several other cards from the cuts on it. I used a little liquid pearl to add a bit of pop to the snowflake and his eyes. The second card is a try fold card. I used my cuddlebug snowflake folder for the background. I made the button with a Martha Stewart punch. The sentiment on the first card is a Fiskars stamp.
I plan on making a few more of these to include in my box of cards to OWH.
Hi, It is hard to believe that Thanksgiving is this week. I have been working on Christmas cards. This is one of the cards I included in my Operation Write Home box. The sentiment is a Fiskars stamp. I got the snowman stamp from Michaels. I colored it with Tombow dual brush pens.
Well we survived Hurricane Sandy. Lost power for a day and some tree damage
but we were lucky compared to others.
I made two cards for this challenge. One for a female and one for a male. I find
male cards hard to design. This sketch was a lot of fun. I plan on using
it again.

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.
OWH and Doodle Pantry have decided on a color challenge for this week’s throwdown. They challenged us to make cards using black & white with a pop
of red or green for our heroes to send home to their family and friends!
I used paper from Making Memories Wedding pack and a rose sticker from Recollections. I cut out the mini tag using My Creative Time teeny tag greetings. Hope you like my card.
