Happy Valentine’s Day

February 13, 2013 · By · 6 Comments

I love love love this card. It’s simple, it’s me, and I know DH will just toss it in a pile, so this card is for me.  I finally replaced my crappy Ranger heat tool with the one Hero Arts offers Simon Says Stamp offers it.  It set this entire card in less then a minute. The arrow is from Basic Grey/Hero Arts.  I used gold metallic zing from American Crafts. The washi tapes are both new Glitz tapes and the love you is Lawn Fawn I don’t remember the name of the collection.   Honestly this card took me 5 minutes and that’s only because I had to dig through my alphabets and stamps to find the right sentiments.

 

I hope you have a great Valentine’s Day

The Sampler Love Card

February 8, 2013 · By · Leave a Comment

For my first project of the month for The Sampler Kit Club  I created a card that could be for Valentine’s Day or for a wedding. I started with the Echo Park doily paper as my card base.  I took the lace and trimmed it from the backing and sewed it onto  a piece of the Dear Lizzy “6th and Main” arrows. I cut the love using the Silhouette with the Snap paper for a bold yet simple greeting.

 

I hope everyone has a great weekend! <3 Ann

Operation Write Home

July 2, 2012 · By · 2 Comments

We R Memory Keepers is holding a contest to submit cards for Operation Write Home. While I don’t plan to enter the contest I do plan to participate in the card drive. I went through my stash of cards and I pulled about 30 that I thought met criteria to be donated and I plan to make about 20 more before dropping them off at Our Paper Place this Saturday.  (If you live in the bay area drop by Saturday 7/7 to create a free card to donate)

Today’s Card: I picked up Critters Down Under a couple weeks ago and I still have a pieces from Lawn Fawn’s Bright Side 6×6 collection that I put to good use. The “Thank You” is from the Malibu Studio Calico add-on for June.  I used Copics C3, C5, C7, E33, E37, YG63, YG67 to color the koala and tree.  This card will be added to my donation stack.

Products used: Lawn Fawn Bright Side 6×6, Lawn Fawn Critters Down Under, Copics, Studio Calico, Fiskars punches.

Thanks for reading and happy crafting! <3 Ann

Mother’s Day part 2

May 14, 2012 · By · Leave a Comment

This is the card I made, but didn’t send. I used Basic Grey’s What’s Up collection 6×6 pad. I love 6×6 pads so much. Great for cards, die cuts, and layouts. Well I started with the stripped background, the Echo Park stickers for the greeting and the Prima resin flowers. I had some leftover circles from another layout and I placed them across the card and added a couple of flowers and thought it was a cute card, but those flowers are very thick, not something I work with often, and I realized it wouldn’t mail well without a padded envelope and extra costs. If I still lived across the city from my family I’d put it in a card and be very careful while delivering it with flowers of the same colors for Mother’s Day.

I may remove the Mother’s Day greeting and turn it into a birthday card to send with a gift in the future. Sometimes that’s the great thing.. adapting. A little undo and I can change it up without any trouble.

 

Thanks for looking and happy crafting! <3 Ann

Mother’s Day

May 13, 2012 · By · 1 Comment

Happy Mother’s Day to everyone out there. I hope you have a great day.  I don’t talk to my mother it’s a long story that I hope to scrapbook someday, but I spent most my childhood not doing Mother’s Day. Well I have great brothers who have amazing parents. Their mom is the best.  I also have a Mother-in-Law. So I now have a reason to be making Mother’s Day cards.

 I made these cards almost fully with the Studio Calico Holga kit. I plan to do a post about my thoughts on the kits and if I think they’re for me in the next week or two. I just got them on Friday and this is the first thing I’ve made with them.  The blue washi tape is from the 35mm main kit and stickers are from my stash some old October Afternoon letters I’ve had.

I’ll let my hubby decide which one to send to his mom and I’ll send the other to my “mom”.

I made another Mother’s Day card that I’ll share later this week.

Thanks for reading and happy crafting! <3 Ann
