Bad Example

Hello, 

I'm so lucky to have crafty friends.  I thought it would be fun to make some cards that highlight our love of stamping.  This stamp is perfect because we often joke that stamping is therapy.  We share (some funny...some serious) a lot of things while making cards.  I thought this was just a fun twist on a thinking of you card. What do you think?

Peace and Comfort

Hello, 

Sadly,  I've had to make a lot of Sympathy cards lately.  This set from Technique Junkies is called Peace and Comfort.  It was perfect for these religious cards.   I had this cross from Simon Says Stamp. I love how this cross has an intricate piece and also a simple cross.  You create two cards at once.  This is really helpful when you need to make several cards.

Pot of Gold

Welcome, 

I'm having so much fun with St. Patrick's Day cards this year.    I used a old bookmark die I had in my stash to create this upside tag on my card.   I think it give the card a playful feel.  What do you think?  I used gel pens to color the rainbow.  It adds the perfect amount of shine/glitter to the card.

Senility Prayer

  Hello! 

It is release day at Technique Junkies.  There are a lot of silly stamps in the release- YAY!   I'm showcasing one today.  It is called Senility Prayer.  It comes as one stamp, but I cut the woman away from the sentiment.  I stamped her several times at the bottom of the card.  I wanted the words to be the focal point of this project.    As an embellishment, I used a die.  It is from Taylored Expressions.  I used some holographic paper for the lenses.  I love the shiny look!
