Two new cards

I actually got two cards finished this weekend. I didn't study much and spent most of my weekend playing and crafting. But I'm thrilled with the stack of cards I have available to send to my friends.

The pictures don't do justice to the cards, I'm afraid. I'm still trying to figure out the best way to photograph my cards. I'm also struggling with the blog's layout today.

 The card on the left uses a stamp from Penny Black. I don't remember where I got the metallic red paper, and I believe the ribbon is Karen Foster.

The card on the right uses cardstock from DCWV, and a tree from Jolee's.

Finally!

I finally finished another card! It's only been a few weeks since my last one :)

This one features Unwrapped Tilda on the inside (below) and Tilda with Gifts on the outside (the out-of-focus card on the right). Both are stamped on Cryogen paper, and colored with a combination of Copics and Smooch Ink. The dp comes from The Paper Studio's Christmas collection.

I expect I'll have to custom-make the envelope, which will be a new task for me. The card is a 6-by-6. I keep finding flaws to it :( but I know I'm my toughest critic. I would appreciate any comments or advice!

Playing with patterns

I tried something a little different for me with my latest card. I don't normally mix patterns -- with either my paper projects or my wardrobe! -- because I'm just not very good at it. But I think this card turned out well.

I wish I could remember where I bought the dp. The ribbon came in a little sample bag from Paper Wishes. The stickers are from American Crafts' Thickers collection.

Oops

Well, I've done it twice now -- I've made lovely cards for friends, and I forgot to take pictures!  Oh well.  I'll try to remember next time :)

Tilda notecard

I actually finished another card this weekend. This one is a notecard (I bought a pack of notecards by mistake and figured I ought to use them). The dp (on both sides of the card) comes from Paper Studio, but I enhanced it with Tattered Angels Glimmer Glam in Golden Goddess.

I purchased both the dp and the ribbon from Hobby Lobby. The pearls and the Glimmer Glam came from Scrapbook.com. And, of course, we have Unwrapped Tilda and part of the Winter Forest stamp. I used Stickles to simulate ornaments, and my favorite red, green and brown Copics to color in the images.

Glittery angel Tilda

I finally finished a card! Angel Tilda was colored with Copics and Smooch Ink. I made the embossed snowflakes using Versamark and an embossing glitter. The blue cardstock is from Wausau Paper.

I hope to do more crafting this weekend, but whether I'll finish anything is up in the air. Such is the life of a college student.

Midterms

Sorry about the lack of activity lately, but we're closing in on mid-semester, and that, of course, means midterms! I've been coloring some Tildas and crafting when I have time, but don't have anything to show for it yet.
