Flip Flop.

I tried a new kind of card tonight. I found a template online, but I didn't have the proper tools to measure it the way I should have, so I had to make it up as I went. It took me a few tries, but I finally came up with this. It's not my best work, I admit. I definitely need more practice with this design.

The first Thanksgiving card of the year...

I should have been working on Halloween cards or the two wedding cards I need to finish before I leave town on Thursday, but I got wrapped up with this Thanksgiving card! I bought new glittery fall flowers & found my Thanksgiving chipboard pieces, so I was very inspired today. Right now, the inside of this card is empty. I'll personalize it when I figure out who I'll send this card to.

HK airplane!

My BFF has been asking for a card since his dog destroyed the last one that I made him. I'm pretty proud of myself because I used a magazine cover to make the airplane. It's a pretty graphite color with shiny silver lines. It looks really good in person! Anyways, this goes out tomorrow because we're all headed to Thailand at the end of the week!



Up, up & away!

HK witch!

The last HK easel card...for now. I wanted to use the HK witch!



All of my HK Halloween easel cards from this week!

Graveyard card.

I saw a card similar to this a while back & couldn't wait to recreate it. I searched & searched for the 'how-to' online, but couldn't find a template. Sooo, I had to play around with the paper until I created the look I wanted!! I'm pretty proud of myself. The design is not perfect, but it turned out pretty well for my first time. I really enjoy playing around with new ideas!



Hello Kitty...kitty!

Another HK easel card. I used my black flocking powder to make HK fuzzy. You can 'pet' HK like a real kitty! Dustan loves my flocking powders. I have to admit, they're pretty cool!! They're a pain to apply, but they're a lot of fun.


You can kind of see the fuzzy flocking powder on HK's tail in this shot.

HK Halloween

Thanks to my fellow crafter & card making friend, Lisa, I finally figured out how to make a stand up card! They're called 'easel cards' and I love them! I need a little more practice with the design, but I think they're great. It's a perfect way to display a card...which is awesome! I can definitely see myself making A LOT of these for Xmas.

***Oops! I just realized that I didn't add glitter to the 'lollypop' in HK's hand. I'll definitely need to do that before this card gets sent out!
