Washi, Pleats and Butterfly Feats

Posted on March 5, 2015 by Mama

See, I told you I was in a card-making mood yesterday, but this creation to a bit more time than the shamrock I posted earlier. When I first saw the Operation Write Home (OWH) sketch challenge, I was a bit perplexed, but I quickly went to my newest washi tape clearance purchase for inspiration. I was so excited to use this butterfly tape only a few days after purchase (that rarely happens), which quickly led me to two stamps I had yet to use and an unopened 6×6 paper pack — The Sweetest Thing by My Mind’s Eye.

I stuck the washi tape onto plain white paper and trimmed it, then folded it back and forth to create pleats. Then I used my huge butterfly stamp to create the large image and added accents with my Spectrum Noir pens, dots of red Stickles and a few squirts of Glimmer Mist. After inking everything for that all-popular punch and sticking it all down, I made a zigzag stitch with my sewing machine for a bit more detail and dimension.

Two Birds, One Card and a Shamrock

Posted on March 5, 2015 by Mama

I was in a card-making mood yesterday, so I created this little St. Patrick’s day cutie using the Mojo Monday sketch, but added the bow for the Cards in Envy challenge. Two birds, one stone, baby! All the papers for this card came from the Authentique Natural collection and the shamrock came from Jo-Ann’s. The raffia and flower embellishment are just stock items around my craft room. I’m not crazy about this paper bundle and hardly ever use it, except when it comes to St. Patty’s Day because it is chock full of greens and golds. As usual, everything is inked just to add some extra detail. Hope you enjoy!

“A Real Cute Chick” Card

Posted on February 18, 2015 by Mama

Whew, this latest Operation Write Home sketch challenge was a toughy. But after much thought and lots of digging through all sorts of stamps, stickers, papers and punches, I finally came up with a concept to follow the sketch. Since Easter is quickly closing in on us and the OWH deadline for these cards is at the end of the month, I decided to go with a card befitting this celebration (plus I had those really cute egg stamps that had never been used). While it’s not my most favorite card ever, I think it turned out kind of cute.
