More and Various Cards

I love making cards? Can you tell? As I'm cruising the internet and find neat cards, I print them off and try to make them up right away. Yes, I have tons of cards made up, but just think!! I have a card for ANY occasion on hand.

Here's some fun cards I have made recently.

Frankie with The Big Shot



Stamp Set: All Holidays
Card Stock: Lovely Lilac, Kiwi Kiss, Whisper White, Chocolate Chip, Tangerine Tango
Ink: Chocolate Chip Classic Ink and Chocolate Chip Stampin' Write Marker
Embellishments: Envelope Die for the Big Shot, 1 1/4" and 1" circle Punches, Large Oval Punch

This little Frankie I made with the Envelope Die for The Big Shot. I sponged around the envelope die with chocolate chip, then adhered him to the Lovely Lilac card stock base. I cut two 1 1/4" circles in Chocolate whip and 2 1" circles in Whisper White. I then put the 1" circle back in and cut " 1/4 moons. I punched a 1 1/4" circle in Whisper White and cut it in half for his nose. I drew his mouth with a Chocolate Chip Stampin' Write Marker. Punched out an oval in Tangerine Tango - cut it in half and then trimmed up the edges for his bolts. Is he cute or what?

Ink: Chocolate Chip Classic and Craft
Embellishments: On Board Something Seasonal Chipboard Frame, Hidden Garden Rub-ons, Old Olive 5/8" Grosgrain Ribbon, Large and Small Oval Punches

This card was fun and with a different sentiment would make a lovely Christmas card. I used a sponge dauber and daubed Chocolate Chip Craft ink on the chipboard frame. I then dotted it with the white gel pen. The rub-on fit perfectly inside the frame!!

Faux Criss Cross Card



Stamp Set: Heard from the Heart
Card Stock: Riding Hood Red, Whisper White, Bella Blossoms Designer Paper
Ink: Riding Hood Red
Embellishments: Small Pennant Die for The Big Shot, Top Note Die for The Big Shot, Boho Blossoms Punch, Pretty in Pink Brad

This is called "Faux" Criss Cross card because there are some beautiful criss cross cards out there, but they are a bit more complicated than this carad. This one was a snap!! I used the Small Pennant Die for The Big shot and didn't put it on the fold. I cut my small pennants and then using the perforated crease, wrapped that around the sides of the 5 1/2" x 4 1/4" card base and adhered it on the crease. I then adhered it with a small roll of snail along the bottom of both pieces. The White Top Note die comes out, so you can write on it! Very elegant and VERY simple!!
