Fix a Fella and more

Here are a couple cards I did for a friend of my husband's company. I was happy how the fella came out. I have just a few Copic Markers (not enough to do all the cool shading) but I used my colorless blender marker to "erase" some of the color to try to give it more dimension. I was pleased....take a look. The stamps was FixaFella from Stamping Bella and the words were printed on the computer.

Thomas the Train Pop Up Card

Well - Here is my first Draft of my Thomas the Train Pop-Up Card for my son's 2nd birthday. I still have a little tweaking to do...but I'm pleased with my first draft. I got the idea from Splitcoaststampers.com. To view another Pop-Up card and where to find the instructions ----> Click Here

Below is what the card will look like closed.


Here is the card Open.


I did cheat with the actual face. I scanned a album cover of Thomas. Then used a circle punch to punch it out. I also used several different size circle punches and corner rounder punches to add different elements to the card. I just love punches...they make everything so much easier! I'm so excited about these!!!

September Project Night

Well, with the new Stampin'Up! catalog, and I finally got my shipment of goodies here is what I came up with for the next project night. I hope you like it!

We will be using watercolor paper, aqua pen, and ink pads to color in the adorable elephant!

This card uses one of the two faux metal techniques I will be teaching that night.


Create a unique card from Stampin'Up! Scallop Note card collection.


The above card has the second method of the faux metal techniques.

And last, but not least create a fun pop-up card! See the post below for another pop-up card I did for my husband's birthday. It shows it open and closed.

You will get to create all 5 cards - plus get a Fall 2008 Idea Book and Catalog. The next project night is September 12, 2008.
