Two New Cards

Christy Uncategorized 10 Comments

I had a pretty creative day. Every time I thought I was finished, I had a new idea and made another card. I have two to show you now. The third can’t be shown off until tomorrow, and the fifth I forgot to take a picture of, and the sixth isn’t quite done yet. That’s a lot, huh? I also spent a good portion of my morning knitting. I love Wednesdays, because Herbert goes to doggy daycare and I get to be extremely productive. Even now I’m itching to make one–actually, two–more cards, but I think I have to give it a rest for the night.

Okay, fewer words, more pictures, I know. Here.

First I have this snowman card, made with a whole bunch of my new stuff. The background was made with Alcohol inks (Denim, Stream, Pool, and Silver Mixative) on glossy cardstock. The snowman and snow flakes are from that gorgeous set of stamps I bought last week. I heat embossed the snowman, then I stamped the snowflakes with glue and sprinkled them with silver glitter.

And here I have another tea bag fold card.

I told myself this would be a really quick card, but then of course I had to add the hand stitching.
I swear these paper patterns are breeding on my desk. No matter how many cards I make with them I still have some left over.

I’m going to have to do a video tutorial on tea bag folding at some point. But then you’ll all see how easy it is. Hmm.
