CAS--Clean And Simple.

Border emboss from CB on white CS from a grab bag from Scrapbook Creations. (Bazzill, I think.) Red paper is Core'dinations. Love embossed stamp is from Cuttlebug. Dimensions used to pop up the red window. Cooler IRL. ;-)

Thanks!

Here's the inside of the card that's two below. Same BoBunny paper. I used a Paper Shaper for the flower, then a small raindrop punch for the inside of the petals. I placed a dimensional under the flower. More Antique Linen Distress Ink.

Thanks for looking!

Here's the view from my craft room. I get to cut and emboss and paint and glue while watching the koi fish and the birds!

Stay warm! ;-)

No sentiments on this one yet, as I have not decided what it should say.

The flower was punched from inked-up coffee filters that have been run through a CB embossing folder. Top petals were painted with Distress Paint (Tim Holtz) and run through a Fiskars paper crimper. Center of flower was punched from a car freshener. DP is from some card magazine that offered Artist's Paper in each issue. Paper was distressed with seam ripper. Ribbon from Hobby Lobby, also painted with a little Distress Ink (Tim Holtz).

Thanks for looking!

I made a card for two friends of mine who have started a very brave journey into weight loss. CB diecut for the feet. Swirly paper is from Target. (I LOVE THAT STORE.) I free-handed the scales. Purple paper is from a cardstock grab bag from Scrapbook Creations. Topped with blue ribbon from Hobby Lobby. I added a bit of glitter to the Losers and a bit of bling in the top right corner.

This is the same one...just the inside. I have no idea why it's greenish, but it's much more tanish in real life. More Distress Inks and a few scalloped punch circles. A ripped piece of Core'dination paper and two more definitions from the dictionary complete the inside.

A card for my friend, Amber, and her husband John, who are expecting their first child. I used faux flocking on the little chicken and CB's Swiss Dots. I don't really like how the 'Boy or Girl' turned out...the font, I mean. But, for my first 'you're expecting!' card, I'm OK with it. Thanks for looking!
