Imaginesce *okie knows she probably spelled that wrong and is too lazy to look up the correct spelling* and the cake is with mica cardstock. Of course with mica I have to use the deepest blade setting and the highest pressure but I sure do love the look!
t the shimmer still came through. I used SU markers for coloring the candles and then used Stickles for the flames.
ossing sets and one had a birthday cut and emboss stamp set and I came up with this little birthday card. I think it will work great for a male card.
images of the ticket. The file is set to cut 4 at a time. I also just used my trimmer to cut the silver for the back of the film strip. I used a background stamp for the popcorn bucket and then colored in between some of the lines with a Stampin Up marker. I used cat eye ink to do the shading on the bucket, ticket and popcorn. The mats are all labeled for you. There are some extra circles that will cut to help you fill in the popcorn bucket, but you might have to punch or cut a few extra also.
added dimension *okie so loves dimension on cards...and layouts...and is glad we live in a 3 dimensional world*. I didn't glue the bucket all the way down so I could slide some "popcorn" in the bucket. I added some stickles to the popcorn just because I thought it might look good and I LOVE STICKLES! Anyone else out there love Stickles? Can I get a HELL YEAH! *okie cracks up laughing at herself knowing that people are rolling their eyes and thinking 'that dang okie ain't got no kinda sense'*. I did use the white Signo pen to do the doodling around the edge of the card.
esize it you can. Just don't forget to resize the stars that go on top also. I used Doodlebug sugar glitter on the stars and then dotted with black diamond Stickles. I also doodled with the white Signo pen on the letters.
o that is not a movie gift card, it is my Staples Teacher Rewards card! I had to make sure it was the right size and that is the card I pulled out of my purse to use as an example. But it does fit rather nicely with the stars on there now doesn't it. I used some Aileens Tack It Over and Over on the flap of the envie so it will stay close but yet be able to reopen.
you cut your base. As you can see even the cut lines are there. Not sure if youc an see the score lines in the small picture but if you click the picture and make it bigger you will see that the score lines are there for you.
ince it is just a small snip that you will have to do.
middle rectangle in the picture, but it is in the cut file. The tabs are all labeled and there is PP1 and PP2 for patterned paper 1 and patterned paper 2.
here to fold but you will be able to tell more once you have it in front of you.
ded brads before I placed the paper down permanently.
hes, Stickled the flourishes and I had to hand write the sentiment since I didn't have the sayings I wanted and I was too lazy to do it with the printer. I did use the Stamp Up Tag punches and Keytag punch and I used EK Success oval punches.
I made. I will have instructions for it tomorrow, along with the cut file.
. The GBS version will be turned the other way but is basically the same cut. I did have to click weld for the objects to show up on the screenshot but they are not welded in the cut file.
awhile and then completely fell in love with it for the saying Cherry Good Wishes. The cut file is set to cut 6 cards at a time. I used George for the scallop rectangle and the mats and Lyrical Letters is used for the "cherry good wishes". I used the Swiss Dots Cuttlebug folder on the white mat. The white strip is done with the Stampin Up scallop border punch and isn't included it the cut file.
ying and I think if you click you can see the glossy dimensions better. I took the picture before the stickles on the scallop rectangle was dry so they aren't showing up quite as well as they do now that they are dry.
dimensions. I pop dotted the scallop rectangle to pop it off the card a bit. I LOVE DIMENSION!!
love that saying and have seen it in several magazines and also on the Cricut message board and I decided to use it. I made a cut file for the Berry Sweet Birthday Wishes card since I had to make the strawberry from scratch.
along with the saying inside. I used a stamp from an Inkadinkado cupcake set I had for the inside sentiment. I used Stampin Up Riding Hood Red ink.
saying. You can see the detail better. I used diamond Stickles on the swirls and the words. The little round embellies are Robin's Nest embellies adhered with super glue *okie again hears the gasps* OH GET OVER IT! IT WORKS!! *okie cracks up laughin*.
better.
"Awww Duck" or "Holy Duck" and went with the "Holy Duck". I wasn't sure if people would "get it" but I quickly found out that people understood the hidden meaning of "holy duck" because they cracked up laughin when they saw the card.
birthday card but the paper is very bright, so I am just callin it Bright Birthday *okie shakes her head at herself*.
I altered to put the note cards in. Not all the sets have a tin, just one very special set and I can't say who it is for since they might read my blog and it would ruin the surprise. I used a small Tim Holtz tin and I wish I had about 2 dozen more of these but sadly this was my last one! I used a chipboard swirl and covered it with paper and added some bling to jazz it up a bit. The paper is Fancy Pants and the flowers are prima's. I know the ribbon doesn't look like it matches in the picture...but it does in person *okie things photographs are very strange things sometimes*. And yes I used some stickles!
measured approximately 5 x 3.5 inches so they fit nicely in the tin as you can see here. I had no problem fitting all 12 in the tin and probably could have fit a few more...but 14 or 15 just doesn't seem as nice as an even dozen...and besides...I was running out of ideas!
"cherry hello", "you are the best" and "thinking of you". The papers were mostly from scraps and vary by company. I used the Stampin Up scallop punches on these. Even the "cherry hello" is an SU punch...it is called word window. The little cherry stamp is from a Stampedous set as is the sentiment. The sentiments on the other two cards are Studio G's.
one is a wood block one *okie knows it will have to be unmounted if it wants to stay in her collection*. I also used some border punches on these. The scallop is Stampin Up, the scallop with dots is Fiskars Threading Water *okie has no idea how ya thread water and thinks it is a ridiculous name for a punch* and the scallop with half circles is a Martha Stewart punch called Apron, I think anyway. The white flower is also a punch, it is EK Success Daisy Whale of a Punch. I double layered the flower and curled the petals slightly for some dimension.
my least favorite of the bunch. I tried my hand at paper piercing and let me tell you...I NEED MORE PRACTICE! My daughter thought it was just down right ugly! LOL The flowers on the other two cards are from Michaels in the wedding section. A friend of mine sent them to me and I think they are fantastic for little cards. If I remember correctly I think they are about $5 for a little bucket and there is a lot in the bucket! The tag is the Stampin Up tag punch. The pink flower card has the Martha Stewart double lattice punch used on it. I also used the cuttlebug distressed stripes *okie so loves that embossing folder*.
card that started it all...the coffee card! It is a My Favorite Things stamp set. The "friends" card has 3 different punches used. I am not sure what the border punch is called but it is a Martha Stewart punch as is the little butterfly. I use that butterfly a lot! The sentiment is the curly label punch. I stamped the image on the green paper and then punched it. I then stamped the image on ivory paper and cut around the oval. The "friends" in the center is from an Inkadinkadoo set I have. Okay WHO DOESN'T LOVE THE LADYBUG CARD?? And if you said "me" then you can leave my blog now! *okie gives mean dirty looks at the crowd lookin for anyone who doesn't love the ladybug card*. My friend ScrapperDelighted sent me a couple of sheets of that ladybug paper and I knew I had to use it! The ribbon came from the LSS that closed down last year. I used several circle punches for the sentiment to acheive the effect I got *okie makes it sound like she planned it the way it looks when in reality she just couldn't decide on what to do and kept punch paper*. The little sentiment is a Studio G stamp.
tamp set that I just love. I had gotten a box of thank you cards at a garage sale and decided to make some cards with them. The cards were very thin so I ended up cutting white card stock for the base, but at least I have the envies! I got the patterned paper from a LSS here in town last fall. I stamped the image on cream colored card stock then on a patterned paper for the dress and then on white and colored with Stampin Up markers for the arms and cup. The ribbon is Stampin Up mellow moss.
better where I pop dotted the sentiment and also the lady. The card itself measures 4.5 x 3.5 inches so there wasn't a lot of room to play with. Over all I like it though.
I even made a card that is perfect for FarmTown! I had this paper from Basic Grey Offbeat collection and had no idea what to do with it, but the other day while doing some plowing and then planting peas the paper came to my mind and I knew what I could do with the paper!
skittles which is going to make this more expensive to mail but I think it is the perfect touch and looks so good on the pea. I generally like to put the main image on mounting foam but with the use of the embellies I knew it would make it way to thick so opted to just mount the sentiment on this card.
butterfly ever since I first saw it months ago on the HD cart. The only thing I don't like is that the only solid is the shadow. I made a middle layer by welding some circles and ovals in spots that I wanted another color to show through. All the mats are labeled for easy identification. I did weld a flourish from HD to the shadow of the butterfly, just because I thought it would look nice *and okie is totally addicted to flourishes*.
foam on the butterfly for dimesional effect. I love dimensional effect *okie wonders if that is the proper use of words and then decides she doesn't really care she will use them anyway*. The little butterfly is the Martha Stewart punch *okie is quite impressed that an ex-con can make such neat punches and wonders if Martha learned that skill while in prison*.
the cupcake and the swirl. I used glossy dimensions on the cherry to give it some shine. The icing is Bazzil bling, the swirl is mica cardstock. The mat paper is from Imaginisce, I think So Happy pack. I used Stampendous bling stickers on the swirl also. The paper for the cupcake is some that my friend Linda gave me. I pop dotted the icing for some dimension.
