A Day for Daisies Challenge

Did I tell you that I love paper crafting?  Well I do.
paper crafting gives me the opportunity to be
adventurous and be creative - and I can't say I was
too creative even just a few years ago. So when
somebody tells me they wouldn't be able to make
cards as they have no imagination - I tell them I
don't agree.  I don't think one can really 'learn to
draw really well' - that I think is a talent one is
born with.

The following two cards I made for a challenge on the
A Day For Daisies Website - we were given three most
beautiful images to work with to make cards. Do go and
visit them - see the button on the right hand side of this
page.  To go shopping  http://www.etsy.com/shop/adayfordaisies

For the following card I used Nestabilities Lacey Ovales,
patterned paper from DCWV 'Nana's Kids', the red balloon
is from Jolee's Boutique, as are the three gems.  This is an
easy image to colour using a computer programme.

Here I used Nestabilities Labels Eight. The patterned
paper is from DCWV 'Nana's Kids'. I also used dot
sparkler stickers from Stampendous.

More Wedding Cards

This digi image is from Shelleys Images - I decided to
leave it in black and white and not colour it.  I hope
the 'flower' does not detract from the lovely image.
Patterned paper is by Colorbok

This digi image is from Beccy's Place - she has
lots of lovely images.  I used Nestabilities
Label Eight around the image.  Patterned
paper is from Colorbok.

I believe this image is from Clipart. I used
Nestabilities Lacey Ovales around the Image.

New Cards

Here are some cards I made today.  This
image is from a decoupage sheet by
Penny Wessenaurt.  I used Nestabilities
Label Eight and Cuttlebug embossing folder
Swiss Dots.

This image is from Cuddly Buddly.
I used Nestabilities Classic Scalloped
Circles Large.  I think this card will suit
a teenage boy.

This image is also from a My Craft Studio
disc. The sentiment I did on Window.
I like using this purple card, which I also
embossed using the Swiss Dots embossing
file from Cuttlebug.

More Cards

Last week I won some digital images from Shelleys Images
http://www.shellysimages.com/ - it was fun choosing four
images and I will enjoy using them for cards. I won them on
the Crafters Digital Art Center site - a great place for all
who love to use digital images.

Been busy trying out my new program 'My Craft Studio" and
now know how to print from the program. It was in fact easy!
I now have enough pictures and materials to make hundreds of
cards!!  It's just a pity I don't have to whom to teach all my
knowledge - I haven't been able to find people who would
like to learn many different methods that can be used in card
making or scrapbooking!  Following are my new cards.

This card I made using clip art and using Nestabilities
scallioped circles.Used my own background and sentiment.

Here I used images from My Craft Studio.
I did an extra layer on the pram.

This image is also from MCS. Also did an extra layer
of the table and young lady.  I love using ribbon and lace
and have used both here.

+ dot sparkler.

More Cards

As you may know I love using digital stamps but this time
I used images from 'My Craft Studio' discs.  These discs
have a special program which is great, but I am so used
to using Word for sizing, cropping etc. that I gravitate back
to it, but as I am new to MCS I still have to learn to use it.

These flowers have their own background. I used
Nestabilities Lacey Ovales around the image and
then went around the cut out with an ink pad. I
cut out some of the flowers and stuck down
with pop dots and added green ribbon before
sticking down the background onto card stock.
This card can be used for any occasion.

 

When I made this card I had a
teenager/guy in mind.  This image also
has a matching background. I matted
the image, added some string, cut out
a label using my Cuttlebug and stamped
a sentiment onto it, then I added some
gems.

I love the colouring on this card. The
patterned paper is from DCWV Glitter
Mat Stack. I have used a Nestabilities
Label, a sentiment sticker (which says
'Good Luck'), gold ribbon and some
sticky hearts. 

A Tag - For A Challenge

Here is a tag that I did for a challenge on CDAC. It's for
a tombola game. I used two sizes of the Nestabilities
Labels Eight, and part of the Nestabilities Lacey Labels,
the scalloped part on two sides of the image, which is
from Doodle Pantry. I embossed the two labels with
different patterns, and used punches for the flower parts.
Also used dot sparkler stickers from Stampendous in
the center of the flowers.
