Just a simple Hello is all you need to send a note. The cards are perfect to give to someone as a gift.

Pocket Greetings

I designed a Pocket Greeting card today at mfpSpeedyTV . The Tutorial can be found here. For this challenged I made a card to give to my good friend. We always give cards for special occasion. For once, I wanted to give a card just because. I believe little random acts of kindness can change anyone's feeling. The simple act of just letting someone know you care is important. This card is perfect to fit a gift card to a coffee shop.  So remember that the little things do matter.

Here are some other views of my project:

Snow, Snow, Snow!!

WOW!! I can't believe I am talking about snow after this past winter. I really don't want to think about next winter but I couldn't resist this card. My card has a Christmas theme. When I started the card, it called for a Christmas theme. This week at mfpSpeedyTV, our challenge is to create a Sidestep card. I decided I wanted to try a circular sidestep card. It took me a couple of tries to get the card the way I wanted it. I love the way it turned out. This might be my card for Christmas.

My Mini Album Kreation

 

For this challenge at mfp SpeedyTV, we created a mini album. This challenge was a challenge for me. I am a cardmaker not a scrapbooker. Albums and scrapbooks are outside of my comfort zone. Every once in awhile we need to step out of our comfort zone. Tutorial Time is a great place to come and do that. I did enjoy making this mini album and I am proud of it. I was able to use an array of different supplies from my stash.

 

I left 2 tags unstamped for personalization. I used several different stamps sets from Mark's Finest Papers, a Heinrich Co. I love the way the different fibers look together.

  Here are other views of my project:

                                                        These are all the pieces.

It's time for some alcohol !!

No not that kind of alcohol. The kind you can create with: Alcohol Inks.

For this challenge at mfpSpeedy TV, we created a card using alcohol inks and cling wrap. This technique is great for backgrounds. What I like is that you get a different look with each piece. I tried this techcnique with a few different alcohol inks. When I finished, I knew that this one was perfect for my stamp and colors. I used Oriental Joy stamp set and Bearded Iris stamp set ( for the sentiment). These sets can be found at Mark's Finest Papers, a Heinrich Co.

I used my Sizzix Circle FlipIt #2 die to make the card base and the other dies for the designer paper.

I have included a few other images of my card.

I hope you come and play with us at Tutorial Time.

 

 

My supplies are: Stampin' Up! cardstock, Spectrum Noir High Gloss cardstock, Bo Bunny "Serenade Collection" Designer paper, Sizzix Flip It #2 Die, Gina K Black Onyx Ink, Rangers Alcohol Inks: Red Pepper,Butterscotch, and Oregano.

What would summer be without the beach. I love the sand, sun, and water. What better then a great sunny day playing in the water. This week's challenge at FOSTV is create a "Beach Theme". For this challenge is used the stamp set "Sand Dollar" from Mark's Finest Papers, a Heinrich Co.  My cardstock is Gina K, Bo Bunny "Country Garden Collection", and miscellaneous cardstock stash.
