I love Fall............I love the colors........I love the smells.........I love the decorations. G45 is going to help out this coming season as I can't resist all the wonderful fall papers. Some of which can be found in various collections. In the Children's hour the October and November papers are fall themed. Time to Flourish has a few fall themed papers as well. Rare Oddities is filled with awesome Halloween themed papers. If your lucky enough to locate Halloween in Wonderland or Happy Hauntings you will be thrilled with the fun Halloween papers.
I decided to make my tag using the more available Time to Flourish pad. This tag is more like a piece of wall art since it measures 5x10. The card is a bit larger than normal too ...it's a 5 x 6.
I love both of them and it's addicting. I could just keep on making these. In fact I think I will.
Today's post is extra extra special. I finally have Internet service at my summer place. Tho so much slower than what I have at home I am at least thrilled that I can check my emails, post, SCS friends and....................Post my Very First Blog post while away from home. So in my excitement I have decided that I will also have my first give-away. By the end of next week (cut off Aug 4th) if you have left a comment on this post, your name will be put into the hat to receive these 2 items. After your name is drawn you will receive a message in your inbox with details on how to obtain your items. I hope this goes well. Remember this is my Very First time attempting this so please bear with me. LOL Winner will be announced Aug 6th. Good Luck
Well I can't believe what I can accomplish when no body disturbs me! Got the Birthday card I needed done!!! This one is for a friend who loves to cook and is a Vegetarian so fresh veggies are always in her kitchen. I saw this Graphic 45 paper collection called Home Sweet Home and knew this was the paper to use for her card. I'm using my Shutter Flip card as my base. It is the same base I used for the post Golf Anyone where I used G45 Sports Collection and for the card Shutter Flip . Directions are on the Shutter flip post. Anyway this is such an easy card and I love being able to see how it looks in different papers. As I said this time I used G45 Home Sweet Home. Love the brightness of the colors in this collection.
There are very few embellishments on this card. The pretty papers were nearly all you need. I did use a paper doily which I cut up and added to certain areas for texture and I dimensionaled the stamps and apple. In the corner of one doily I was able to utilize an old paper punch of utensils. I added a little Glossy Accents for sheen. Although it doesn't really show up in the pictures I also used a little stickles (clear) for sparkle. Seriously......who doesn't like sparkle???
Wouldn't this make a cool base for a Christmas card?? Thin I'll try that too.
Well that's it................now to pack up my stuff and head north for a relaxing few days.
Til later............HAPPY CARDING!!!!!!!
Hi! I have been so busy with our Summer place that my Blog keeps getting ignored. LOL I had wanted to get a Birthday card done and I did but goofy me (maybe it's age????) forgot to take a picture then I forgot to write a post. I then mailed the card off to my sister. UGH.....figures! Then I got hooked on this Halloween card/display project. I figured I'd make my demo for my other sister who we will be seeing soon. She does not live nearby so I figured I'd had to make it in advance. If you recall, not too long ago my ladies group made these Fancy Christmas Gate Fold cards seen here. I took the concept of that card and made it Halloween. I think she'll like it!
I used yarn to close this one instead of making a belly band. I also centered the 4x4 front square and omitted the 1.5x4 strip that was on the original Christmas one.
I used weird things like bottle cap on the front and here inside I used pop can tabs on a wooded arrow with yarn tied on it just because. Little birds are also wooden embellishments that I glittered bright green.
Ok now I really need to make another Birthday card. Hopefully I'll get it photographed and a post written before I mail it. Today maybe?????
Til next time
HAPPY CARDING!!!
