A fun card making blog
This card is for the Alphabet Challenge that I have been doing throughout the year.
The letter V wasn't hard for me as I have done a technique on vellum that I love.
The background for this card was created by scribbling alcohol markers on vellum and then "painting" with isopropyl alcohol. That allows the colours to move, making it look like alcohol inks were used. I added a triple layer HAPPY and an ombre stamped birthday sentiment.
This is a simple card that is a bit of a fun fold. The three panels gradually get smaller toward the edge of the card. I added a sentiment and some small white flowers around that piece. There is a circle inside the card for a place to write a message.
This is such a simple card to make - just four rounded squares with butterfly in the centre. I splattered the background before adding the pieces and placed a die cut sentiment at the bottom.
This card is from the 30 Minute Card Making Stash Dash.
The parameters were as follows: Type of Card: A2 landscape, Colours: warm OR cool, Embellishment: animal, Technique: fussy cutting and Occasion: celebrate or sympathy.
I fussy cut the birds and placed them on a raised panel with twine across the piece. The background was lightly stencilled and I added a die cut sentiment at the bottom.
This is such a pretty fun fold card and it folds flat to 5x7 for mailing.
I chose old Graphic 45 papers for this card and selected 4 patters that complement each other. I also cut the papers so the patterns would be continuous.
The front sentiment was embossed and I added some flowers as well. Inside the card, I used the same flowers for the top and bottom panels and added a second sentiment on the centre panel. I didn't put any embellishments on this card to allow it to fold flat.
This set of cards is from the latest Let's Stamp Together subscription. The kit was provided by Brutus Monroe.
The mugs are so cute - all have openings in the top so the whipped cream, marshmallows, etc. can be inserted if desired.
Do you have a favourite card? I think mine is the card with the angled sentiment and lots of white space.

This pretty card was inspired by one I saw on Pinterest.
The floral image was cut from a piece of white cardstock and I cut a frame to fit around the image. A piece of purple vellum was adhered behind the front and I stamped the sentiment in the lower corner. A few white gems were added to finish it off.

This card was created for a sketch challenge.
The sketch is shown below.
I die cut several leaves from two shades of green cardstock. The background was splattered with gold paint and I inked the edges of the yellow piece. The coral cardstock was embossed and I placed the leaves in and around the envelope. A hot foiled sentiment was placed on the envelope and I added two gold hearts plus gold gems.

Welcome to Cut It Up Challenge 368!
The theme for this challenge is thankful, grateful, blessed.
This is a Thanksgiving theme - our Thanksgiving in Canada is over now but there are always occasions to be thankful!
I used an adorable Lawn Fawn stamp set of fall mice. I stamped, coloured and die cut the mice and leaves. The pumpkins and the fence were die cut and inked. I also inked a scalloped border and stencilled clouds on the small rectangle. Everything was adhered to create a cute autumn scene. The small sentiment was stamped in the top corner.
Come and join us at Cut It Up and show us how you interpret this challenge.
You have until Monday, November 9 to link up your project.
