New Cards With Flowers

 Love this card, it is 6 inches square finished.  Used dies throughout the card, Cheery Lynn Designs and Sizzix dies.  Saw a similar card on another blogspot, used different dies and a different girl but was the same idea.  Love to color with Copic markers, have had them for some time now but just really started using them.  Finally got away from the red and white cards!!  Thank you for looking.

This card is much cuter in person, loved making this card, I am finally getting the flower making down and coloring with Copic markers.  Love the dies, make cardmaking a little faster and much more feminine.  Thanks for looking.

CowGirl Card with Flowers

 Love this little Cow Girl with the hat!!  My daughter is into wearing a cowboy hat since having her new guy.  Thinking that it would be appropriate for her for a spring card, if I can stand to part with it.  But we have to give some of them away don't we, or then we end up with more cards than we know what to do with.  I am really getting into the doily dies, Silhouette has some, this one is from Cheery Lynn Designs, the corners and butterflies are also from her.  Working on 2 others, have them cut but need to put them together.  Sick today so will probably not happen until tomorrow or later.

New flowers, love to make these, it was fun to arrange them.  I never have been good with arranging real flowers so hope the cards are better.  Thanks for looking and have a good day.



Musical cards

Some muscial cards that I made some time ago.  I used cuts from Cricut, sorry don't remember what cartridge this is from.  The musical note background paper just makes this card, picked it up from JoAnn Fabric and Craft store during one of their paper sales.  Edge of red paper is a Martha Stewart punch.  I think the musical paper on the red is a Tim Holtz stamp.

Isn't this adorable.  Gave it to my granddaughter, Kira, to thank her for playing music at our Christmas Party.

 

These would make great cards for any occasion for those of you that know musicians.  Have fun with them.

Thanks for looking, hope you have a good day.  Candy

 Newest card with more flowers.  I have really gotten into making flowers lately.  Didn't ever know how easy they were to make because they looked difficult.  Have to make a few to get used to the process but they are not as difficult as they look.  Paper is really strong, you would think that it would break apart when you are bending and turning and moving it around on a brad, but it holds its own.  Lots of layering on these new cards I am learning to make, getting good ideas from other blogs.  Thank you for your ideas. Love Cheery Lynn dies for the doilies, they make wonderful backdrops for the rest of the card. 

 Flower dies from different artists and some from Silhouette store.  Try to experiment with different colors on the card, used one pink patterned rose that I have had since I started making roses--what was that 2 weeks ago?-- also a peach colored one, and they look really good with the pink and white.  So feel free to experiment, try different colors, you never know what will go well together on the finished project.

 Cut designs in Silhouette Studio, I have found that with these intricate cuts it helps to have a newer blade and good sticky mat--just not too sticky as then the little cuts sometimes tear--just use a lot of patience when taking the designs off the mat.  I just changed my blade on the Silhouette yesterday after using that same blade for a year and having cut thousands of designs on the Silhouette Cameo.  This is my preferred machine for many reasons!!!!

I love these pearls!!  They just add that right feminine touch.  Thanks for looking, have a great day.

 Cute little 4.75" Valentine card for my great nephew, Tommy.  The picture below shows both of the cards I am sending the, one for my niece.  I don't normally send them cards for Valentine's Day but Nikki is helping mom and dad out so much, wanted to send her a special card.  Thanks for visiting my blog.  Got to spend the whole weekend at home, car still in the shop until tomorrow and husbands diesel is TOO big to drive and park in town for me.  Crafted all weekend, finished all wash, changed the sheets, loved being at home.  Have a good week.
