Today I tried Techno Stampers – Monday Lunchtime Sketch Challenge.  Here’s the sketch:

I really like how my card came out.  I used a 6×6 lilac card base, added some white card stock, packing foam, butterflies cut from paint chip samples and this is what happens…

Don’t forget to carry the design inside the card!!!

Today’s are projects are from a Birthday Card Kit Swap I did.  We were partnered up and sent the supplies to each other to create the cards.  Here are my two cards I made.

I love how you can take a stamped image and make it pop by cutting it out and using foam adhesive to raise it up.

Today’s projects are birthday cards for Youth – keeping it young and fun.  I also wanted to use minimal supplies – take a look at what I used:

White base cardstock, black and red accent papers, cream “Top Note” centers, various stamps and Tim Holtz Grungeboard – Harlequin Elements.

Here are my creations:

I recently read some Do’s and Don’t of cardmaking…One of the top items was “Don’t forget to carry your design to the inside of the card”.  It doesn’t have to be fancy you just need to add a little something to the inside.

Today’s projects are a couple simple LunchBag Notecards.  They are perfect to put in your honey’s lunch or the kids.  They are make with a simple black card base, purple card stock for some color and 3D birthday stickers.  I used Martha Stewart’s Opaque Markers.  They are great when writing or decorating on dark card stock.

At Inspire Swap Chat we had a challenge issued today to make anything we wanted with the following colors Red, Yellow, Brown.  I decided to make a digital scrapbook page.  On our recent camping trip I let the kids use the camera to take photos, I love this one.
