Life is a Song

Hi Everyone,
Happy Hump Day!! LOL   Last night was club night and I thought you'd like to see the card I made for club. The theme was musical and I decided to use a stamp set from Unity that definitely had this theme covered.

I used blue cs for the bird, so I guess you can say he's the blue bird of happiness. LOL I stamped the wing again, fussy cut it out, added glitter to the lines and popped it up.I also glittered the curly tail.  I used my Craft-Dee BowZ tool to make a fluffy bow for the card.

Here is a close up of the bow. I added some flowers to the center of my bow.

 I must have spring fever since I made some more little flowers and added them to this card. My last post has some of my handmade flowers on it also.

June is for Weddings

Hi Everyone,
June is considered the month for weddings. So I thought I'd make a card and combine a dress fit for the bride accented with a multi-loop bow. I used white cs and cream cs for a little contrast. And brides always have pearls don't they?? I added a pearl border to the label shape behind the bridal dress. Behind that is a little netting reminding me of the veil. That bow was made using the Craft-Dee BowZ tool (of course) and I used a sheer ribbon. I tried my hand at making a decorative pin. Just another little added touch to this card.

By the way, Craft-Dee BowZ is hosting their monthly challenge so you will want to click here to check it out. A Craft-Dee BowZ tool is awarded to one submitter each month. You could be the prize winner.

Stop back on Thursday, for the Craft-Dee BowZ blog hop. The theme is Butterflies and Flowers, and I have  something really cool to show you all. Hope to see you at the hop.

Well that is it for now. See you Thursday, maybe??

Jar of Sunshine

Hi Everyone,
Yesterday I posted a cascading card and there is a funny store behind that card. I had made a card to be posted in yesterday's post and I was checking on the parameters of what my post was to include. Well it was to have unusual folds and have at least a double loop bow. I thought that the card I had just designed didn't fit the bill. So it was off to the drawing board to make another design.

 I decided on a cascade style and thought I'd incorporate a lot of the elements from the original card into the cascade card. I actually very gently pulled the elements off the original card to reuse on the cascade card, cause time was of the essence.

Let me show you the card that I had originally designed: I had photographed it before I had determined I needed to make a different design.And of course before I gently removed elements.

It was just a traditional fold and I used a multi-loop bow, which would have been OK. But that traditional fold really was not going to work in the unusual folds theme. So that is the back story of yesterday's card and that post.

Let me mention this stamp set I used in both cards.I love this stamp set. As I mentioned yesterday, it is a Unity stamp set and it has some really cute elements in it.  The jar is really a nice size. But, I took creative license to draw in the bottom oval as it doesn't contain a defined bottom at all. I was very pleased how it just finished the jar.

Well time to get more projects done. Guess I'd better READ what the parameters of the card should be before I start on the projects. LOL

Thanks for stopping back in and I will see ya soon.
