What would we do without a greeting......card?

I just love to make my own greeting cards. There are endless possibilities. You can personalize them to fit the person or the occassion.

Yummy Ice Cream


Hi Everyone,
With the weather getting warmer and summer soon upon us, I thought this little card would be just the thing to get us in the mood for ice cream. I happen to think any time of year is good for ice cream. I used a Matilda stamp on white card stock and then scaned it into my computer and resized it larger. I used my copic markers to color the stamp. I am getting better at using the copics and I like how they look for coloring stamps. I used a flower punch to add a border to the card. I really like the looks of this card and for the inside sentiment I used "Wishing you a happy birthday". I like making the stamps larger as I think you can see more detail. I hope you like this little card. Hope you have a wonderful Memorial Day. Blog you again soon.

Luck of the Irish

C
Hi all,
Here is my latest card for the Cardz TV challenge # 25. I have  both the shamrock and the leprechaun on this card. The leprechaun is from the Cricut Simply Charmed cartridge. The background paper is from Paper Studio. As you can see my little leprechaun has gold coins from his pot of gold. The inside sentiment is Luck of the Irish from the spring card cartridge by Cricut. I really like how he turned out. You can't get much more Irish than this, but then I am a Kathleen so I guess I should know Irish. I hope you enjoy him. Look for more cute cards soon.
Love, Kathy

Crafty Card Challenge # 125

Hi All,
Here is my entry for the card challenge. I used the heart design from the Cricut Imagine machine. The little stamp is a Penny Black stamp with a little hedgehog and a little ladybug. I used markers on this stamp, but have found that color chalk is a better way to color these stamps. I ran the background paper through the Cuttlebug Divine Swirls folder. The sentiment I created from my computer. Inside it says I love you - Happy Valentines Day. I think it turned out real cute though I would use the chock next time. I hope you like the card and I will post again soon.
Love, Kathy

Just on my way - to blog

Hi all,
Thought I would post a new card today so you can see my attempts at coloring with Copic markers. This what they call a digital stamp from a company called Tiddly Inks. I colored it in with the markers and put it on a card. I think is is very cute and I am learning more all the time about how to work with different mediums to color stamps. The inside sentiment says "to wish you a happy birthday. I hope you enjoy the post. Until next time.
Love, Kathy

My favorite Christmas card 2012

Hi all,
Here is my favorite Christmas card that I made this year. I think it came out so cute. I love the little clothes pins for stocking hangers. They are just like the ones in the sentiment on the front. I used the Cricut Imagine cartridge to make the stockings. I think they are very pretty. I did keep this card as I was afraid that the clothes pins might get broken if I tried to send this through the mail. I can use it as an example for cards for next years group. I always have one card that stands out and I have a hard time parting with that one as all the cards I make are different. I hope you enjoyed your card this year. It is one of a kind. Thanks for taking a look and I will post more cards soon.

Color Challenge # 23


Hi again,
Here is my entry for the color challenge of Red, White, and Black. I used red and white paper for my heart card base. The shoes are from the Cricut cartridge The Nifty Fifties. This is a get well card for my sister who loves saddle shoes as do I. A blast from the past for us. I thought it would be cute to use a heart shape card that I cut out with my Cricut Imagine since it was so near Valentines day. It is a pretty simple little card, but very cute just the same and also using the colors in the challenge. I hope you enjoy it and stay tuned for more cute little cards.
