ART'S

Here are some of my random ATC's and cards.

CHRISTMAS CARDS!!

Here are my christmas cards/ATC's. They are all basically the same with little variations. First are my ATC's. The trees are smeared acrylics on card-stock. I made them into ornaments as well. I have other cards that I will post after Christmas!

More and more!

To the left is the card I made my dad. I added the waikiki paper because that is somewhere my family loves to go to. Below is the card for my boyfriends brother. The wording says "inspire," and defines it. 

I was making the frog card his brother, but it just turned out to kiddish. The last one was made for another friends birthday. 

I used my phone again to take some of these pics, apparently my rechargeable batteries are no longer rechargeable!

New Stuff!

I just got a great job, and ran out of card stock, so I decided to treat myself to some new art stuff!

I got a multi-pack of card stock, some distress ink, a new stamp, and behind all that glare are my my new shiny letter stickers.

A friend got married and this was the wedding card I made. 

I used all my new stuff! I added the letters after I took the pic, but I did the initials of the bride and groom. The flowers are made of thin shiny paper.

This is the fathers day card I made for my boyfriends dad.

Latest cards

My pictures are a little off because my cameras batteries died, and I used my phone.

So I didn't really stick to the guidelines for the previous two card weeks.

This one started out as flower/star/stitching.

I used a flower and stitched on the lettering, but no star.

The purple part got a little thick from gluing over mess-ups and then cracked a little. I might just cut the top off and start over.

These next two were meant to have pink/brown/scallops.

Neither have scallops and only one has the two colors. The first one has a velum cake, but the glue is still showing. If it doesn't go away I'll put something over it. The next one I really like.

The top card is my little sis' birthday card.

The bottom one is my moms mothers day card.

Card Challenge!

This week the challenge was to use blue, green, circles, and make it a birthday card. As I don't have many supplies, because I have just started making cards since I recently graduated from college, it took me awhile to find circles that worked. Because of this I made two attempts. 

One Long Card Day!

These where meant to be an addition of Make it Monday, but it took me awhile to add them. It's been so long since I made these, I'm not sure if any of them where ideas from Cardalicious...
This first one I haven't decided who is getting it, its a toss-up between two people. I really liked how the ribbon picked up the yellow and the purple. This one doesn't show up very well in a photo. It is made with green and yellow acrylics. Its a little thick, but I still like it. This card is the other part of the toss-up.

I used a section of some of my new ribbon for this card. (Mom's idea)!
I sent this one to my parents. I made it so the "I believe" is on the inside.
This is my big sisters birthday card. She is a Horticulturist, so it says "bloom where your planted". When she was little she wanted to be an entomologist, hence the Lady Bug. Weirdly enough, I am currently the entomologist.

Card Day!!!!

For this weeks card the requirements where:
Use ribbon and green, and make it a friend card........

Thank you Cardalicious blog

My mom and I have started to semi-join the cardalicious blog fan club. I'm not too great with computers so instead of uploading to their web site, we have used their creative weekly card ideas and I have posted the ones I have done so far. 

This card was to use something green and orange, as well as use a card tag. I think when I find the right thing I will add some sort of pop-out flower or something like that for depth.

For this one we were to use three types of patterned paper and orange letters.

This is my favorite so far. The things to use were pink coloring, stitches which I just used fabric, felt, which I had none of, and make it a thank you card.

This one was my first one, and it called for flowers, sparkles, and circles.
