Just made another card for a challenge today! This card is for the Embellish Magazine. Kraft and paper piecing!!! No way I can skip that… my two favorite things.

So here is my take on the challenge just in time for deadline

Supplies:

Kiss the Cook Latte Chalk Ink Kraft Lemonade TimHoltz Scissors Corner Chomper ATG 700 White Pen Shabby Shutters

Have you seen Caardvarks challenge? It’s sponsored by HeroArts and you have to make a Clean and Simple card.
Now this is a challenge for me, since I love HeroArts and CAS cards are so hard for me to do…

I’ve used some polka dot paper for the background and vellum. For the cherries I’ve stamped, paper pieced the image and used some wire for interest. Glossy Accent, silver gems and thread added the extra something. Thanks for visiting.

Supplies:

Oliver paper pad Simply the Best Glossy Accents Grass Punch White Powder Versamark Heat Gun White Pen Kraft ATG 700

Hi and welcome back to “Weekend Video”.

I keep getting messages asking me to make more masculine cards. I feel they are more difficult because our supplies are mostly girly. But the “Oliver” collection by BasicGrey is wonderful! So here goes.

I get a lot of questions on how I make my cards and if I sketch them first. The answer is yes. Most of the time I have a sketched idea on the card I am making. So all I have to do is pick the ink colors and the patterned papers that match.

Actually, I have a sketchbook on my bag all the time, wherever I go. I draw cards everywhere, at work, at the car, at bed. I bought a Moleskine Pocket Storybook. Every page has frames and they are ideal for designing cards.
Nothing fancy … but of course I had to add some glitter on the outside… LOL.

… and here are the sketches for the “back to school” series, just to take a look on the inside

I may keep the general idea (the one with the fishes) when making the card and change it completely or just go along with the draw.

You can make a cheaper version of this if you follow the instructions of the talented Kristina Werner here, she even provides a template for you to download and print!

And here we are at the last card of these series! Can’t believe it’s already over! The last one was done pretty fast but I have to say it’s my favorite of all 4.

A for apple, B for Bee and C for Cupcake!

Welcome back for the second back to school card.

A stack of books with an apple on top… when the card finished I realized that the apple was huge for the books size  but I don’t really care, I like the outcome. Anyway if you copy this idea use a smaller apple LOL

Enjoy the video and come back tomorrow for another one! List of supplies will be available at the bottom of the post later (I’ll update this post tomorrow with the list, I really need to go to bed now).
