Thanksgiving Card

I have another Thanksgiving card to share.  The stamps are CTMH.  I used the rock and roll method using SU ink. The paper is from my scraps!

You Rock Birthday Card

My son has a birthday party to attend tonight.  Boy cards are hard, but one for a 9 year old is even worse!  Since I had already made a "You Rock" card earlier, I decided to stick with that!  This card can also be used for Paper Playtime's You Rock Challenge.  I used Everyday Paper Dolls for the boy and guitar.  I tried to make the boy look like my son's friend.  To help with that, I inked his hair with Colorbox chalk ink.  I used Peachy Keen Stamps for the face.  The saying from Paper Trey Inc. and the ink is SU.  All my paper was scraps! 

Thankful Card

I made a Thankful card this past weekend.  It was really a very simple card.  All the paper and flowers are CM.  The stamp and ink are CTMH.  I used my SU punch for the border.

Gotcha Day Card

Yesterday was Gotcha Day at our house.  Gotcha Day is the day that we took custody of our son, Travis.  We celebrate just like a bithday, but on a smaller scale.  This is the card that I made for him.  I used the Smiley Cards cartridge to cut the guitar.  I added embroidry thread for the strings.  The stamp is Paper Trey Inc.  The ink is SU.  Most all the paper is scraps except the black and white checkered and it is from the Paper Studio.  The ribbon is from Hobby Lobby.

Card Challenge

It's time for the Wednesday card challenge over on Paper Crafting Mania.  Normally, I don't get the sketch done, but today's sketch just spoke to me!  The red cardstock is CM.  I used the SU petals-a-plenty embossing folder.  The green and ecru carstock is DCWV.  I used SU Bells & Boughs stamp set with SU ink!  The ribbon is from Hobby Lobby.

Z Fold Card

A Z-Fold Card was the card sketch over at Paper Crafting Mania today.  My Pink Stamper's challenge for today was to do something Halloween or Fall.  I decided to combine the two and make a Halloween z-fold card.  I had never made one of these before, but it looked really cool.  I just used some scrap black cardstock in case it didn't work.  I used my SU Spider Web embossing folder and then I glimmered misted the front and back fold.  (I made my own glimmer mist using SU's Frost White glimmer paint and alcohol.)  I cut my spider at 2 1/2" from Doodlecharms.  After I got the card together, I decided that the spider needed to be a little more sturdy, so I cut another one and then glued it on top.  The Happy Halloween came from a piece of paper that I had; I cut the words out.  Added some string and googly eyes and I was done!

I used a library clip to keep the card closed while I took the picture!
