San's Designs "Easel Card tutorial"

Hello!!!!

 

Can you believe it's Friday already? If this week went any faster I would see it ahead of me, hehe! (picture a full 360 degree turn)

 



Today it's my turn over at San's Designs , here is a sneak peak!

 

 

 

 

Also I thought I would do a tutorial on a very unique Easel card!  This card at first glance looks like a trifold or Gatefold card but when opened (you guessed it!) it is an easel card.

 

Here is another sneak peak!

 

 

 

I hope to see you there!!!!

Masculine Easter Card "Son"

Happy Thursday!!!!

 

If you have been following me you know that my hardest challenge is making a masculine card, as well I couldn't add too much dimension which is another big challenge for me!!!!, (the buyer of this card will be mailing it so she didn't want it to cost too much.)

 

I placed homemade SKITTLES on the lace down the left side so it would'nt  appear too girly, these Skittles are made by Carrie from Double Click AKA A Busy Bee 

  They went perfect with my vintage theme and they are only tiny, (Big Bonus)

 

Here is my card

Easter Greetings by Katherine Smith

I brighten this image to see if you could see all the shimmer and shine but it didnt' work, (pout, pout)

Bunch of Tulips Easter Card using San's Design Digital Stamps

Happy Monday!!!!!

 

 

As you all know I am now part of the fabulous San's Design Team and although we haven't started yet I couldn't wait!!  I have a lot of Easter cards to make and San's digital stamps have just the right amount of cute factor I am looking for.

 

I bought this digital stamp here: 

San's Design Webshop 

 

 

Meet Bunch Of Tulips!!!!



Here is the card I made:

 

This card's shape happened by mistake, I was used my EK Circle Cutter  (never works for me) and made the worst circle you'd ever seen but instead of tossing it (knowing I wouldn't do any better on the next one) I used  Scalloped Scissors to cut along the bottom and it turned out to be more of an oval than a circle, well..?.. not really but ... (maybe deformed circle?) lol

I cut another (what ever you want to call it, with pattern paper and placed it behind the first one.

  I inked both of them with Shabby Shutters Distress Ink.  Phew! Did you get that? hahahaha

 

My card base started of 5 1/2" by 7" but I didn't like the way it look with my odd ball shape so I cut around it. In the end though all my mistakes I loved the look of it!!! 

 

 

I am so in love with this bunny!!!!  I paper pierced  the shirt that I created and colored the tulips with Spectrum Noir Pens, I added Silver Stickles that really make the tops of the tulips shine.. can't see it in the picture. I used Liquid Embossing over her cheeks and drew whiskers. I topped the whiskers with a very thin white line made with Dimensional Fabric White Paint.

Here is a side on view so you can see how I made the leaves shimmer using Pearlizing Medium.

 I am entering this card into Paper Playtime "Anything goes"
