Big Play Date......




So I have been on a card making jag, a first for me for sure since you know how long it takes me to make just one.  I guess that Stamp Convention did a world of good, since now I am card/notecard making machine.  Just give me a challenge.....okay maybe not that good but I'm almost feeling that good about what I'm making.  Here is a card and two notecards, the butterflies are the card and the other two are notecards to say thanks to the great team over at Target Pharmacy.....Maybe I should make a Target themed card for the rest of the group.  I made one for each Pharmacist and Karen *waves HI*, her's is featured in another posting.  Of course.  Not!  But it is in another posting since it was what started the revolution along with the Stamp Convention.

Jules told me there is one in Jan, now I can't wait for that one to come.  That and the new CHA stuff that will be shipping soon.  Yay!  For G45 latest paper lines!  Among other things.

Let me cut this quick, or I'll be rambling on forever and I have more posts to do.

For the butterfly card (left) I heat embossed and then used my memento's markers and colored it in with constrasting colors.  Turned out nice I think it did.  Then I did it like a science project......No. and the Oder or whatever.  Mounted it and went from there.  I of course had to use a font on it, so I spent time doing that....and people think this is easy.  Pfsth!  Color, ribbon or to not ribbon.....the whole nine.

For the first (center) thank you notecard I used nothing but the circut on it, the rest was had cut and done, except for the "Thank You" that came from M's.  Brads from the Scrapper's Convention and a little bit of silver goes a long way.  And of course to ribbon or thread or not ribbon or thread.

The second notecard (right) I went with a Steampunk sort of feel.  Feeling able, I cut a strip of paper from from G45 paper I had called Le Cirque, so I went with it.  Got come cardstock from M's for the background. Used the strip as the sides and then used my ever trusty hats that I seem to be getting a lot of use out of now.  This was just the last one I used the stamps on that I got from the con.  Added wings and some gears cut from the Silly and ta-da!  Thank you notecard.  I finally got smart about the words on the back and typed it out so they could actually read my horrid handwrtiting.  Not been the best since after the seizure but it takes some time to get that working at 100% again.

That is all for these, next!  Steampunk!
