Clean and Simple
I made this guy card for our CAS challenge at http://cardz4guyz.blogspot.com/ this week.  
I used the plain white base card for the front and added three simple embellishments.
Sentiment - Is an old rubber stamp I have had for a very long time. I bought it at Michael's $1 bin back when they HAD a one dollar bin. I used Tsukineko Brilliance Dew Drops in "Platinum Planet" to stamp the sentiment.
Embossing -  Provo Craft Cuttlebug "Hounds Tooth" folder. The brads are metal silver triangles.
Ribbon - Gross-grain ribbon is in shades of gray and black by Offray.

Paper Piercing Card

Paper Piercing Card
This is my first time making a paper piercing card. I made this card using my trusty Tim Holtz ruler and it was quite simple to use. I have had my ruler since it came out and my dear sister-in-law, from "NanaDonna's Dream Cards" had told me to watch the video on this ruler...I never did, until I looked up a U-tube video on how to use my ruler for paper piercing. This ruler is quite a gadget, I never had noticed it had a metal edge for cutting paper, too!  Who knew!!?
*Background stripped pattern paper, the border and the matting is from the DCWV "Midnight Berry" stack.
*I embossed the circle with a Darice "Flowers & Vines" folder.
*The two pink cardstock papers are from my Scrap Box, sorry no names.
*Corners are a Fiskar corner punch.
*The sentiments are Verve Stamps from the "Wishing" collection.

Sentiments - Are Verve Stamps from the "Wishing You" acrylic stamp collection.
Pattern Base Paper - From the 6X6" stack "Paddywack" by Recollections
Added small  metal stick-on brads.

Finding Dory
This card is inspired by the theme at http://cardz4guyz.blogspot.com/ . Make a card inspired by a movie. The children's movie "Finding Dory" is so popular at this time...here is my card:
*Dory - Cricut cartridge image cut on Explore. I know Dory is a blue color, the one I used is a very pretty foil blue color, but it photographed too dark.
*Water Paper - Single sheet rack @ Michael's
*Seaweed - Cricut cut
*Sentiment - Computer-generated
*Ocean floor - real colored sand
*Fish Bowl - Is a Cricut cut which I used acetate to cut out off. I added the sequins since I didn't have any type of adhesive to attach fish bowl to Dory scene. Popped the bowl with 3-D tape for dimension.

 

 

Merry Monday

My Christmas card for this week at http://merrymondaychristmaschallenge.blogspot.ca/   that Bonnie has challenged us with. We are to use any or all of the words "Love, Joy and Peace". 
I made mine by re-purposing an old card from years ago. I matted the image with gold foil cardstock and used a Fiskar corner punch. I fussy cut the holly from another single sheet pattern and added Ranger Crackle Accents to make them thicker and give then a glossy look. I then added red pearls for the "berries".

Sweet Sketch Wednesday 2

 

Kitty Kat

I made this card using this cute Kitty digi from Dearie Dolls.  I love these simple images and the creator Mary Ellen creates and shares her cute digis, check out her images here: http://freedeariedollsdigistamps.blogspot.com

 I cut the Kitty using a Spellbinder and I also matted it with chipboard for depth. I used a clear  star Gelly Roll pen on the ears and on the pink bow for some sparkle, not very noticeable, though. The pattern papers are from Recollections 6"X6" "Paddywack" stack and the solid lime one is regular cardstock. The ribbon is from an assorted collection pack from Michael's. The heart shaped buttons are from my Button jar...don't know the brand, sorry!

Sentiments - Both written and cut on Explore.

Father's Day Card

Here is a Father's Day card I created by using the sketch from this week at Tuesday Morning:
All the papers are from the ColorBok 12X12 Signature "Wild Indigo" stack.  Love this stack because all the sheets are double -sided and are color-coordinated, it has contains patterns for either male or female. The sentiment panel is printed and cut on the Explore, as are the banners. The circle is a Cricut cartridge cut and the photo corner is a die cut from "My Little Paper World".
