Wow! I can't believe it's been over a year since my last post. A lot has changed since then. If it didn't then it would be kinda of scary and depressing. Anyway, I felt like I should post something. I love having these overwhelming urges to do something. Usually it deals with me spending money, which everyone knows I don't like doing. lol.
On to my point of wanting to do a post. I have started making cards, and would like to go into more paper crafts. Here is my first card I made:
I cut the flower from the Cricut Expression. The bottom I made the impression myself (might need to invest in a embossing machine). It took me maybe 30 mins to make. It took me longer to figure out what colors to use. lol.
I have made others as well.....here they go:
 |
| I cut the tree using Cricut Expression. I also used Mini Brads in the top right hand corner. Just so CUTE!! |
 |
| I stamped the butterfly on a circle of white cardstock. Then I used color pencils to color in. I would like to get a pastel set to use to color images, but color pencils is a good medium to use. |
 |
| I like the fact that this one is so simple but yet so pretty! I embossed a section of the pink cardstock. Then I carefully put glue on the raised parts and added glitter. |
 |
| I orginally made the owl for the card above, but couldn't figure out where to put it. So I decided to make another card. I used a Martha Stewart punch for the border, and then used mini brads on the corners. |
 |
| This one is one of the most recent ones I have made. I used glitter glue in the spots of the flower and mini brads on the top right hand corner. |
I love making cards. My favorite part is the stamping!! I don't know much about the different types of stamps and the inks, but I'm learning! I like the fact that you can make a really cute card with little effort. Plus, when you give this to someone it means so much more than buying a card. Which for some reason I can't really let go of these cards. Probably because they're my first. :)
Well it's been fun catching up, but I gotta get up early tomorrow. :( Gotta get ready for a busy day ahead of me. Goodnite!!
