mojo monday # 184

I don't know why I let some of these sketches stump me so, but I was with this one...anyway I used the same paper as the last and it came together nicely.....

the owl is at 2" and the swirl was stretched on my DS  both from storybook

wedding card for Karol

Hi all, this  is for a good friend of mine, for this card I wanted lots of layers and for it to be square, and it had to have a cross. I started by cutting out all of the squares and inking and   lots of measuring to make sure things looked right, but it just did not have the right pop to it, so I went to Jeannies blog, looked up under weddings and much to my surprise she had a layered card...find it here...
http://aplaceformycards.blogspot.com/2009/06/third-picture-of-this-post-shows.html
all I had to do to mine was add the swirls which really made a huge difference ( I was so glad to see it matched the cross) and tilt the square under the cross.
I also pop dotted 3 layers and did lots of inking on this card...

paper cutz challenge #84,,, new design

Hi all, Today I thought I would try to design my own card from start to finish,  that does not mean that there are not any out there, it just means I have not seen one like this... so I wanted to use scraps from my pile and I wanted to use my cuttlebug also with some kind of a flower in the middle...this is what I came up with...

black 4 1/8 x 5 3/8   stripe 4 x 5 1/4
black 3"  square   2 7/8 inside cut each in half before assembling

anniversary card

sweet and simple...so I thought,  turns out this card was a bit more tricky than I planed
the back ground punch had to be line up perfect or would punch wrong and look
like someone took a bite out of it
then I pop dotted the swirl, sure glad I did not try little pearls,ink dots are enough,
glad I am done with this one.

mojo monday # 181 contest

My,,,,where is the time going? contest time at Mojo Monday this week, I made this early in the week but just getting to post this.....lots going on with this card!

                                       made a 2nd card because of the cut in this card

set for M-I-L

Hi all,  I liked the cards I did the other day, that I decided to make a set to give my m-i-l for her birthday..
she likes antiques so I tried to keep the old look to these cards. I hope to get a dozen of them made...
what I have so far..
I  have more ready  on my design studio, just need to find the time...

totally lifted and made smaller

Hi all, these look like you have seen them before?  these where scrap lifted from Everyday Cricut guest designer
Monique Griffith Designs,  except I made mine a little smaller so they could fit into a 4 3/4 x 6 1/2" envelope
( the new invitation size at Wal-Mart)
my finished card size is 4 1/2 x 6 1/4
black mat... 4 1/4 x 6"
next is  3 3/4 x 5 1/2
and the bottom is 3 3/4 x2
for the inside only sentiment is 3 x 4 3/4"
the sewing machine and layers cut @ 3  " from the heart cut @ 1 1/2
stove and layers cut @ 3 1/4"  warm wishes cut @ 1 1/4"

                                                        the inside

 

these cards I wanted to see if they would look good in a smaller size, mostly because I don't have

an envelope to fit a 5 x 7" card.. next time I will try a 4 1/4 x 5 1/2 card 

I have a great cutter so I can make cards to the size I want with the scor-pal for easy folding.

If you like what you see go on over to 

Monique Griffith Designs, she has a great blog!!!       (from Wed. March 2, 2011)

I normally do not like ribbon, but for this card it seems to work!
