Cards for Teachers

G's teacher is retiring this year. Boo hoo! She really is a great teacher! This is the card that I made for her. I used some old wallpaper (the pink check), some fabric which I scanned and used as digital filler for the letters and the stamp and a different one for the rose background.

The basket of spa goodies are something I've had around FOREVER. Like 10 years. I guess it was time to use them. They didn't have the packaging with them anymore, so I'm not sure who made them.

The flowers on the back are stamped (stamp by Hero Arts), and the circle with the flower at the top & the chipboard square button is from LemonTree Arts.

This is one for my other son's teacher. Most of it is from a Sweet Shoppe digital kit

called Garden Tea Party by Zisla Scrapbook Graphics.

And this one is for a swap that I'm in. It is supposed to have something that moves in or on it. I wanted to do a pop-up, so I used this one from the Cannon website. It is a 3D cup of coffee. The picture isn't quite perfect, sorry!

Live It Up

This is a card I did for the ULTIMATE CARD SHOWDOWN challenge over at 2Sketches4You!

Here is the sketch....

And this is how it works....They give you the sketch and you come up with the card. I really enjoyed doing my first sketch card. It is nice to have it all mapped out for you! I don't know if you can tell or not, but under the red embellishment (which is popped up with pop-dots), there is a piece of ribbon that I found after Christmas. It has a wire edge, so I folded the wire to create a sort of ruffle at the bottom. Then I cut the ribbon in half so that I could cut the other wire edge off. I also cut the bird in the tree out of the same ribbon. The tree is from a set or laser cuts that I found at the dollar store.

Be sure to go over and see how the other 300 or so paper crafters did it! There is a great Linky party... so put on your party pants and get on over there!

Mother's Day Card

The teacup image was made into a 3D image in PSP by me. I then decoupaged over it with ModgePodge which gave it some texture.

Cards o' the Month

This is a card made with that dress pattern I created. It is listed here if you would like to give it a try.

These are purses made from flowers. I folded the flowers in half, added a brad for a closure. Then I used a piece of wire strung with some beads to make the handle. I then twised the wire under that brad. I then, carefully so as not to sew over the wire that is twisted inside the flower, sewed across the petals twice. Then I just glued it to a ready made thank you card I found at the Dollar Tree a few months ago.
