Papers: Kraft card stock, blue scraps, and a piece of digital paper from Doodle Pantry
Extras: CM circle cutter, Spellbinder's Scalloped Circle, Cuttlebug wood grain emboss folder, CM double circle punch, Tim Holtz Distress Ink: antique linen, Stampin' Up ink : close to Cocoa, Cat's Eye Chalk Ink: walnut, silver brads, twine, silver heart charm from my stash, and a sunflower.
Now to get in the mail so my partner can enjoy it!

Joined a new swap group on FB and this was for one of the first swaps I participated in. We had to create a card that reflected where we live. This was a little challenging as I wanted a usable card...
Here's the details -
Papers: I printed a Virgnia map for the background, I converte it to sepia in Photoshop, tore the edges, and inked with Burnt Umber Cat's Eye Chalk Ink
Extras: Stampin' Up Bird punch, small heart punch (for the dogwoods), champagne rhinestones, and gray pearls.
I really like the cardinal. I found the directions for it here.
I hope my partner likes it. I can't wait to see her's, she is from New York.

Wow! times really flies when everyone in the house has been sick! Started with son, passed to hubby and then I got it. Nothing worse than a summer cold...it just lingers. I am still coughing, but at least I do not feel like I would rather die then get out of bed :) Finally some crafting time!
Colored this image a bit ago, just now making it into a card. I used a few of my new toys too.
Here are the details-
Image: Jules from Saturated Canary; colored with Prismcolor pencils
Sentiment: Stampin' Up Six Sides, CM hexagon punch
Papers: all from my scrap basket
Extras: Stampin' Up Delicate Designs emboss folder, Stampin' Up Large Scallop Edgelits, Close to my Heart Inks: Hollyhock & topiary, recollections pink flowers, Lasting Impressions kiwi velvet ribbon, and pink rhinestones
Hope your week is off to a GREAT start!

I made this card for a swap. The theme was summer shaped cards. I used the Pack Your Bags Cricut cartridge to cut the card. I added Stickles, rhinestones, ribbon, twine and a cute button to finish it off. I hope my partner likes it!
Happy crafting!

Here's a card I made for a GF daughter who just received her Master's from Florida. I wanted to try the box card...
I think it is a fun card and will definitely give this type of card another try.
Here's the Details:
Image - clip art I found online; I added the graduation cap.
Sentiment - both are from Stampin' Up: Starburst Sayings & Occasions Alphabet
Papers - all from my scrap basket
Extras - Stampin' Up Starburst Framelits Dies, tag punch, rhinestones, brad, CM corner rounder & ribbon
Here is a tutorial for this type of card: Card in a Box I did adjust my measurements so my card would fit in a 5x7 envelope.
Hope you are having a crafty day!

This was the only crafty thing I accomplished this weekend...we were busy, busy!
Here's the details:
Image - Beach Cutie Toots from Simply B Stamps; I colored her with Primscolor pencils and accented with lime, yellow and orange Stickles; as well as Crystal Effects on the sunglasses and float.
Sentiment - came with the digi; added Crystal Effects
Papers - all from my scrap basket, I don't think you can tell in the picture but the patterned papers are pearlescent
Extras - Prima flowers in yellow and pink, ribbon, button, small pompom, and that cute crab is a cupcake pick.
I may have gone a little overboard with the embellishments....
I am entering this card into the Anything goes challenge at Simply Challenged Challenges.
Happy Monday!
