Para Card

With school meetings starting this week and meetings all next week, I needed to get going and make a welcome back card for my paraprofessionals. The worm is from Create A Critter cartridge and the stack of books is from Autumn Celebrations cartridge. I used the hide contour feature on my gypsy to hide the worm's face, and then stamped a face with a Peachy Keen stamp. I tied some baker's twine and made a little bow. The sentiment stamp is from Jaded Blossom. I popped the worm up on foam squares to make him stand out more.

Hoppy Day

When I went to my mom's for the afternoon, I didn't have any cards planned, just knew I wanted to make a frog card. I used the frog from the cartridge Once Upon A Princess. The frog is embossed with a Cuttlebug folder, and the blue mat (water) is embossed with a Tim Holtz folder. I added google eyes and a wobble to the frog. Some baker's twine at the top finished the card.

Yellow Thank You

This card is just like my last card, but made in the yellow family, instead of red. I may end up making this card in a variety of colors. The cut is from the cartridge Phrases. I welded two of the shadows for thank you together to make the card. I then cut out the top layers to put on the card. The patterned paper is some that my mom had sitting around.

Red Thank You

I don't think anyone can have too many birthday or thank you cards. The cut is from the cartridge Phrases. I welded two of the shadows for thank you together to make the card. I then cut out the top layers to put on the card. The patterned paper is from Recollections.

Another School Card

I decided to go ahead and make another school related card. The bird is from 3 Birds on Parade cartridge. To make the partial shape cards, I use my gypsy to weld the chosen shape to a rectangle. I make sure the size of the card when finished will still be A2. I added baker's twine and a google eye for some added interest.

Apple/School Card

With school approaching quickly and many challenges wanting school related cards, it was time to grudgingly start thinking about school. I decided I would give each teacher of one of my special ed students a card at the beginning of the year. Since I have many students, it needed to be a fairly simple card. I made a partial shaper card using my gypsy. The apple shape is from the cartridge Plantin Schoolbook. I welded the apple to the card base to get the fun partial shape card. The fun face on the apple is a Peachy Keen Stamp. I added a mat and ribbon to the inside of the card for some extra interest.

Flip Flops

Here is a simple card celebrating the shoes of summer. I used the cartridge Life is a Beach for the flip flops. I added gems from Recollections and Stickles the the flip flop straps. I embossed the Kraft paper with a Cuttlebug folder, so that the dots on the paper would match the dots on my ribbon. The ribbon is from American Crafts. I put Action Wobbles under each flip flop so they would move. Unfortunately I haven't bought any stamp sets with fun summer sayings on them, but do have my eye on several.

S Card

This is a card type I have been wanting to try to make for awhile. It is very easy if you use the Artiste cartridge. It cuts the card out for you. I also got the flower cuts from the same cartridge. I am dog sitting for my mom right now and she told me I could use her paper and supplies while at her house, so I found some double sided paper from K & Company in her stash. I couldn't resist and might have to raid some more of the paper tomorrow. A shout out to my aunt, who my mom is staying with. I popped up the flower cuts with foam squares and added some gems from Stampin Up to the center. I added baker's twine to the inside mat of the card. I like how the S card style turned out and plan to make more.

Stocking Shape Card

I have made more Christmas cards in the last month than I usually make in December. I got the stocking image from the Simply Charmed cartridge. I welded two stockings together to make it a shape card. I then added Stickles to the white parts, added google eyes for fun and Crystal Effects on the cheeks to give them a little shimmer (the camera wasn't able to pick it up very well).
