Card A Day - Week 2

Hello,

It is week two of the Card A Day in May extravaganza!  Here the sketch of this week...

This card was actually my husband's Valentine's Day Card.  He really liked it, so much so he took it to work and has it on his desk.  Glad I took pictures before I gave it to him.

Really a great sketch layout - clean and simple. The lighter blue cardstock, dark sky, was crimped to give some texture. I added some extra matting and a eyelet.  The color palette is Caboodle Set C - love those coordinating Copic markers and cardstock - makes it SO easy!

Supplies -- Stamps: For My Tweetie, Papers: Caboodle Cardstock Set C; Hardware: Cha Cha; Copics: Caboodles Set C; Tools: Crimper.

Hope you enjoy all the cards today.  Remember there will be a new card idea everyday this month on the TAC Savvy Projects Blog.  

Abundant Blessings!

Card Ideas - Birthday & Baby

Happy 2011 Everyone!

This weekend has been a productive one.  With the half price paper sale I've taken inventory and organized.  It is good to have all my paper in one place again.  

It seems like when I go through my papers (or stamps) I see them again and thankfully was inspired.  That is a really good thing because my niece's birthday is coming up.   

This card uses Miss Moxie - SWIC, cardstock and hardware.  The stamp set is "Tail Feathers", such a cute set, especially for a girl who loves to dance.

I used Copic markers from Caboodles sets C and G...

Y32, 35, 38; YG11, 13, 17; YR12, 15, 18; and R29

I used a 1" circle punch to make the cut out for the eyelet.  The background sky and ground are pastel chalk. 

Inside, I used another image and Happy Birthday from the Tail Feathers set.

I have a second card idea for you.  This one for a baby shower next week.  Yay - baby shower!

This was inspired by a card created by Laurie Willison.  Check out her blog for inspiration, she has an amazing simple-elegant-clean style.  I changed a few things...papers, colors (from girl to boy), added the crimped paper (Laurie used patterned paper with a white scallop edge) but overall the layout is the same.

I particularly loved the details on the image, those I copied...the one rounded corner on the image, the button wheels and brads at each end of the pull.  Great detail, which adds so much.

This is a great stamp set - an all season called Everyday Events.  The image is colored with Copic markers B91, YG93, N1 and N4. 

Hope you enjoyed these card ideas.

Abundant Blessings,
Deb
