Bon Anniversaire!

Hello and happy Saturday.  Today's card is called "Bon Anniversaire". It is of course an anniversary card. I used two stamp sets to make this card. You can find all these products and the Spectrum Noir markers that I used at Crafter"s Companion site.

Oh Duck!

Happy Spring Saturday and Paula here. Today I have a card called "Oh Duck" from Sheena Douglas. These are some fun images. Be sure to check them out and other products at Crafter's Companion site.

   
I used a wadded up piece of saran Wrap to color this image. I also used the Distress inks. It was kinda fun to think of another way to color an image. I would use this image for a Father's day card or just a male card...
Hope you enjoyed the card and stop back next Saturday and also check out the other designer's cards.

Travelling Folder card

Hello and happy Saturday. Today I have a card for you from Sheena Douglas's Destination set. It's a Travelling Folder Card. It's meant to send to someone who is going on a trip. This was really fun to make and also fun to think about all the things I could stick in the folder for the traveller. See what you think:

Score a 9 by 7 Tan card at 4 1/2 and 5 3/4. Cut the V in bottom center as shown.

I used paper clips to hold the flaps. Staples would work too. I added the "Happiness" quote to the top left and the "To Sail" quote to the bottom right flap.  I also added "Travel" using  alphabet tags to the left flap.

Here are the goodies inside the folder. A bookmark (gotta read a book on the plane) some stamps for sending home a postcard, a gift certificate to eat a meal and of course some good old cash! To the left is a card that says "Have Fun" inside.

This is the card inside the folder. I sponged the same inks as I did on the bookmark and also added the same travel ribbon.                                                                  

Above is the cover of the folder. The same inks were sponged on a cream card for the background. The image was split and then layered to  lighter cream cards and then mounted with the twine. The corners were notched at two opposite ends and then the card was layered to a darker brown card and  then to the folder.                                                                     
This was really fun to make. Hope you enjoyed it and stop back next Saturday. Be sure to check out the other designer's cards.
