OK, so after months of hanging out looking and getting ideas i finally signed up for SCS today. Also, in questing for new ideas i thought i would participate in some of the challenges so that would force me to be creative. Well, here it is. my first challenge...a kick stand card. It doesn't look like much but for some reason it took me a LONG time to do! I kept messing up the stamped image, SU!'s festive four set, and the "happy valentine's day" stamp, from Michael's $1 bin was mounted crooked, so after trying several times to stamp it straight, i finally popped it in the microwave for a few seconds and repositioned it. I think it all started with the black paper...i only had scraps so i had to build an unusual shaped card. Then i wanted to use that heart patterned paper but had no idea what else. It was very time consuming, but i am happy with how it turned out. I hope whoever i give it to likes it. always cyndi
finally a card! i know you are shocked. this is all ST! supplies, except for the ribbon which came from the $1 bin at Michaels. My SIL is having a baby shower this weekend and of course i HAD to actually make a card for that! No Nephew of mine is going to have a store bought card from his Aunt Cyndi! lol I also made a B'day card for my BFF's Daughter's first Birthday Party...I'll post that later this week. hope you are having a good one! always cyndi
So this is the mailbox everyone is using from the $1 spot at Target. Here is my version. This is for my son's teacher. I am including a set of six 3x3 cards and some candies inside. I have two pink ones to do also. One for my Daughter's teacher and one for my son's other teacher. I hope they like them. I really enjoyed making them. I wish i was good and could tell you all about the products i used, I can tell you that the gingham ribbon and the stamps are Stampin' UP! but the rest is a mystery to me. I can't wait until tomorrow, maybe i will have time to get the others finished and i will post them for you to check them out. Have i mentioned i am addicted to blogs? mostly reading them, but i have some things i want to show...so i will be posting like mad for a while.
