Let's Scrap Blog Around the World Day 14

This is the last day for me on the Let's Scrap Leap Around the World Blog Hop....here are the last 5 of the 50 cards I made this month.  Whew.  This was a lot of fun and I'm going to miss going on the site everyday.  So let's begin:

Card 46 is made with glitter and stickers.  On the flower sticker, you take off a section at a time and add the glitter from dark to light.  So, I took off all the sections of the dark green first...then glittered that...next the brown, etc.  You use double sided glue sheets and they are heavy duty so the glitter just shines.  This technique uses little glitter, but you will have it all over you for a couple of days and all over your craft room for weeks.  I just love this glitter and play with it as often as I can.

Card 47 uses the same vinyl stickers as card 46, but this time I didn't glitter it in.  I placed the sticker on a piece of acetate and filled in the back with alcohol ink.  The papers and ribbon are from my stash.

Card 48 uses scrap paper and a stamp from Outlines.  Take a moment to check them out.  I love their stamps and they are so original and clever in showing you how to use them...a lot of layering.  Here I colored the hearts and flowers with alcohol ink.  I made 3 stamps of the heart and layered it with pop dots.  I added liquid glass in the center of the flowers and liquid pearls all over the heart.

I make cards and send them to the troops through Mothers Cookies - a group of women that send out packages every single month.  These cards go to the troops for their use.  Something to write in and send home.  I used sizzix dies to cut the flower and pocket, a Close To My Heart stamp for the stitching and a wood stamp I had for the sentiment.  Stickles were used to add a little bling to the flowers.

My last card is a card I made for my mother.  I used the masking technique.  First I stamped the House Mouse onto the paper.  Then I covered it with another image of the same stamp and cut out.  Then I stamped the Close To My Heart band-aid all over the card...then filled in the spaces with another CTMH stamp.  I used water color pencils to color the mice and hearts.  I finished this card by using my black writer to write the words Get W....on the mouse's tail.

Let's Scrap Blog Around the World Day 11

Well another day another card...or should I say cards.  I was up late last night and early this morning making cards.  I'm really having a lot of fun following the blogs and making cards from the sketches.

This was a fun stamp to color.  I used scrap paper.  The Love stamp is from Oulines.  I love their stamps.  I used copic markers YG11, 17; V12, 15, 17 and R 81, 83 and 85.  I used liquid glass to color in the flower to make it shine.

When I was putting my scraps on my card it looked like a layer cake so I made it a cake and added the appropriate stamp.  The stamp is CTMH.

Card 33 uses CTMH papers and some scraps from K & Co.  I used a circle cutter and pop-dotted the butterfly.

Card 34 uses the same CTMH papers as 33.  This is just layering all the different papers.  The center post card paper is from my scraps.

I bought this frame set from QVC a few years ago.  They were supposed to be for my scrapbook, but I found them to be to ornate. I think they work perfectly for cards.  The ribbon is CTMH and I made the flowers using a stamp set from Heartfelt Creations.  If you have some time, please visit their site.  They have wonderful stamps and dies to match.  After I stamped the image, I cut them out and used my McGill 8mm stylus to cup the petals.

The last card today is for my grand daughters birthday.  I used the CTMH Art Philosophy Cricut cartridge to cut the banner and my circle cutter to cut the circles.  I found the tag in my stash of Tag-lets (also from QVC many moons ago).  The Happy Birthday is a rub on and the '10' is a sticker.  I love these happy colors and I think she will too.
