Tick Tock Card

You all know how much I love clocks and gears.  So today I decided to do a very simple card with a clock.  I really love the sticker.  All I did was pick out a couple of papers and do some tearing and that was it.  Simple!

AHOY! Card

I was feelling rather nautical this week and decided to make a card for my older sister. (She lives in New Yokr - upstate).  Here is what I came up with.  I think maybe I could have added some dark blue bakers twine. That would have been cute too.

I love the way my shell came out.  The shell is a dimensional sticker by K&C.  I added the gold detailing on top.

I added some of those sparkly holographic stickers you can get for coconuts in the palm tree.

Hope you enjoyed my card!

Collage Parisiene

I think we all have a fascination with all things French, all things Victorian and all things old fashioned.  I think it's because they are at once mysterious, slightly familiar and very adventurous (well, at least I think so!)

My card today is called Collage Parisiene.

I started with an ivory base card.  I took some white glossy and embossed it and then foiled the embossed parts woth gold.  It has a distressed look, yes?

I was in a postal modd today so I added some stamps that I cut from scrapbook paper (Tim Holtz and Graphic 45) and added them to my card using mounting tape.  The tag is from French General - Jolie's newest line (wow~!). And a green ribbon!

Close Up!

What is so cool about the tag is that the fleur de lis was already added! I love this olive green satin ribbon.

Here are two of the stamps I used.

Hope you enjoyed today's card.

Hi Everyone!

Today's card was a thank you card I made for a family member.  I used some fabric paper.  Yes, thats what I said, fabric paper.  Actually its fabric that has been treated so that it can be cut or punched out like paper. Its really cool stuff.  Unfortunately my stash is old so I dont think its around anymore.

I really like using bold patterns and colors.

I added a little green gem to kitty's bow!

I hope this card gives you a couple of ideas !

Play Together - A Steampunk & Tissue Tape Card

You know I can't stay away from gears too long, right?  I love steampunk. It is the perfect blend of victoriana and industry.  So, I thought I would make a card.  Here it is!

I used a lot of tissue tape for this card.  I started by taking strips of tape and covering my card front.  I took another piece of cardstock and did the same thing. Then I punched out my gear pieces and outlined them in gold. 

Unfortunately I found that when i put the gears on the card they didnt show up very well. So, I added some solid pieces on my card and placed the gears on that.

Close Up!
I am sure that you recognize Tim Holtz' ticket and tiny word (yes, he has a whole book of them that you can buy).

I actually punched the three holes in the gear, outlined the whole thing in gold and added the gems.  It's mounted on a circle with mounting tape.

I love the way gears work together.

Hope you liked my steampunk card.  See you again soon!
