Cards, Cards, Cards

I have been a busy card maker this week. My son's school was having a Fun Fair and I was donating some cards to the Country Store. I was really out of practice making cards so it took me a while getting going. I am pretty happy with how it all came out. I really like the blue thank you card using the note book paper. I am probably going to use this as a thank you card for my son's teacher.
This card is cased from a card in Cards Magazine. Love the new fun paper from American Crafts. The sentiment is embossed in white for some substance. I used the Happy Everything SU! stamp set, American Crafts Wide Ribbon, American Crafts Patterned paper, Real Red and Tempting Turquoise CS from SU!
This card was inspired from the SU! catalog. I wanted to use my scraps of colored ribbon and choose the colors based on that. For the sentiment, I stamped on a transparency with black staz on, it looks cool IRL. I used Real Red and Whisper White CS from SU!, Black Grosgrain Ribbon SU!, White Craft ink, Whimsy Jumbo Wheel, and Lot of Thoughts. Bad Close-up of the transparancy window
I love this card!! Really like how it turned out. The paper is from Hobby Lobby (Paper Studio) I inked the edges with Red and roughed up the edges and corners. Stamps: Defining Alphabet and Define Your Life (SU!), Bo Bunny; Elements Clear Stamps, Night of Navy, Real Red, White Craft Ink, Spiral Punch (SU!), Paper Clip, Red Striped Ribbon (SU!). This card is ok. Trying to use up some scrap paper. I thread the ribbon (Michales) through the flower and clear button (SU!)and then tied. The sentiments is from the Spring Solitude set (SU!), stamped in Close to Coco craft ink (SU!) and embossed in clear. Also used Tim Holtz distress ink to age it a little.

Now off to scrapbook.

Until next time.
