BLACK & WHITE

Well, at long last I am back in the crafting studio, and here is a card I made for the “OUTLAWS CAS” Challenge. This is the first time I have ever made in black and white, so yes do believe it came out quiet nice, even if I must say so, as it was a brain racker for me …..

 

For this card I used Spellbinder Nestabilities Classic Scolloped Rectangles Large   S4-133 and a special digi designed for me by a friend. The wings just had to be glittered so they stand out. The backing white is embossed on the cuttlebug with the Swiss Dots folder.

SPELLBINDERS 

Stunning Spellbinder are posted on the New Page. 

I love all these dies, but some I like more than the other.

So I was thinking..... mmm 

should I post a blog candy in the next couple of days.

What to you all think, leave me a comment and lets see :-)))

Embellished card

This card was made for a challenge in Outlaws Sunday CAS (meaning keep it clean and simple cards.)

The challenge was to make your own embellishment and here is my butterfly, as I love butterlies !!!!

 

I embossed some white card stock on the Cuttlebug. The butterfly was a cut-out. Some stickles was used on the embossed backgroung and the butterfly en gems added.

Christmas Card

This is my quick card for Chrismas in July ….. oops long gone by, but as they say rather late then never. So there as promised I am slowly gonna catch up he he he

CARD MARKERS POEM

This is a very nice poem that I got from a friend as she thought it will unlock me from my work desk to my craft desk and make lots of cards

Well the good news is….. yes it just did, cards on the way soon ….

I got up this morning, but haven't yet dressed
My dishes aren't done, and the house is a mess
Have not done my work, or fed the cat
Just on line for a second, and popped into chat!

There's so much to say, so much crafting to do
I'm sitting here now with glitter, scissors and glue
But O'dear me, I'm finding it hard
When all I need is to make my next card.....

I know tomorrow, I'll make a fresh start...........
Just You wait till you see My New Work of Art!!!!!!

Transparency Window Card

by Julie Overby

Post Type: Card

Everyone loves a handmade card.  Shaped cards like the Beautiful Day Card one that Holly created are fun to give away because they are so unique.  I also like to use my Spellbinders™ die templates to cut windows in my cards and add transparency to make them unlike the average card.  Transparencies are also great to use because you can stamp on them add glitter to give your image a suspended appearance.

Now isn't this a super card, this to me is what inspirations are made of..... so me better be off to a crafting week and let me see what I can come up with.

CARD MAKING

Wow can you believe it how time flies?? My apologies for taking so long to blog more about card making.
I have been learning to make bar code label, and yes will soon be learning Pastel Accounting. Yip, one never gets to old to learn new things. How does the saying go… learn every day something that scares you… the unknown does scare me lol

Well, this card was made by colouring the flowers with crayons and then putting some Royal Coat Dimensional Magic Plaid glue on the flowers. The pearls was placed with a template from Forever Memories. And believe it or not….. this card was made by Gerhard, thanks my dear, so much appreciate it when you craft with me :-)

MOEDERS DAG

AAN ALLE MOEDERS

‘n Ma se hart is baie maal gebreek, stukkend van bekommernis, pyn, skuld gevoelens, verwyte & moegheid. Ma’s is die wonderwesens.
Sy lag tussen deur haar eie seer. Lank nadat almal gaan slaap het ruim sy nog op & bid vir elkeen voordat sy weg sluimer.
‘n Ma  maak altyd reg wat stukkend is, selfs ‘n gebreekte hart soms. Sy hou die gesin bymekaar met liefde en vergifnis. Ja, jare ndat haar kinders uit die huis is, refrein ha “lessies” steeds. Vader, gee asb al die moeders van dag ‘n spesiale drukkie
Gelukkige moedersdag !!!
