Over the Rainbow

Hello friends.

I made an easel card to share today.   If you have never made one before they are really easy way to add a wow factor to a card.   For this card I modified the design a little to allow the rainbow to stand up.  However, the card still lays flat and mails with a regular stamp. 

The little hedgehog is from Whipper Snapper.

Risk the Cooties

Greetings,

This past month I had the privilege of teaching an advanced copic class.  We we learning how make objects look translucent.   I wanted to hunt down some new practice images.  This one worked perfectly.   Be sure to check out Monday's post for another image from our Copic class.

 I couldn't resist making this a tent card.   I love that this will sit up on someone's desk for them to enjoy.   I stamped some lemons on the inside in a light yellow color.  This way you can still write a message on top of them.

Flowers from the Heart

Hello friends,

Spring is finally here!!   I'm so ready to wave goodbye to the snow.  Last Friday, we had to cancel class because of the weather.  I'm hoping that is the last time for a long, long time!

Here is one of the cards we were planning on making last Friday.  Hopefully we will find a way to squeeze it into a future class.  This is one of my favorites styles of cards.  It is a center step card.  I love that the card sits perfectly on the table so the image can be easily enjoyed.

A Twist on the Normal: Beach Babes

Welcome Stampers,

Today I'm playing catch-up.   I made this card a two weeks ago, but the minutes ticked by and it didn't get posted. 

This is my first attempt at a Twisted Easel Card.  I can't get over how easy these are to make.  They are incredibly clever.  However, I'm not sure the recipient of the card would figure it out without some prompting.  What do you think?  I love to hear your thoughts.

My first Easel Card

Today marks the third week of the "Don't Bug Me" Challenge.  Time to dust off and ink up those bug stamps!

My third card uses Tilda with a Straw Hat.  This has long been one of my favorite Tilda Stamps.  The butterfly is small but cute!  I know easel cards have been around for years, but I just hadn't tried my hand at it.  This is my end result. 

I love the look of clean and simple cards!

Here are the materials you need to recreate it.
