Cards by Wendy

Here are a couple of cards that I made to send my son now that he is living across the country. I loved using these fun colors for Christmas Cards! On the card on top I brushed glitter on the edges of the willows to add a extra punch.

Friends and family card

I made this card to send to my SIL with a special note of love and thanks in it for her. She lives with her mother and cares for her and I know that can be difficult.

The "Friends" was taken from Chris' "Good Friends are Angels on Earth" file. The scalloped paper was cut using Sam and Hailey Designs "Stand up Tag" file and the flower and stem is from Shelly's Art "Playful flowers, leaves and branches" file. The flower charms and corner charm are from A Charming Place.

Chris's Ornaments & Tree

This is another layout in my hubby's album of our puppy. I used Chris's Ornaments & Tree file, which you can find here. I just love the trees in this set. Please check out the entire set as this is just one small piece of that file set.

Christmas Tags

Wrapping gifts to Godparents from the girls... this paper had some different colors in it. I used file #CD00406 to create tags that matched my packages perfectly! Added some jewels for punch. Used a stamp and some embossing powder for the TO: Ribbon for fun.

two layouts

I have been working on a small flip album for hubby of our Annabelle. I used one of Chris's files on each of these layouts. One uses her Reindeer file. I added Diamond Glaze to his nose and pen stitching on his antlers and muzzle.

The other layout uses her Snow title. This is one of the over 20 files in this quarters cutting membership group. Have I mentioned what a great value that is, btw? $20, and a minimum of 20 files - that's a steal! If you haven't signed up for her quarterly club yet, do! You won't regret it! A new quarter signup will be available soon.

Here's a card I made with Chris' Turkey Day file. I love it. The turkey is so cute!!! I stuck a pilgrim's hat charm on it too.

Crafty Time

It's been a while but I managed to get some crafting done in between Halloween and Guy Folks night, the only downside is that it wasn't the fabbi new print & cut file Chris let me play with due to my printer playing up :( Never mind it should be better soon, Chris uploaded the lovey Son scroll frame in one of her past membership club plus the new Tigerlily file and I think they really go well. I thought seen as the picture was so large and the files really detailed it made the page more striking.

Again this file was from a previous membership but I saw the pop up card template and new it would work really well, I think this may be the Carruthers family Christmas card as it's so fun!

fall card

I made this fall card with Chris Durnan's challenge files. I added glittered embossing powder to the pumpkin and the word fall. I hoped they would show more clearly in the scan that hubby did for me, but it's not very clear. Don't you just love all the challenge files Chris made?

A birthday card

Ages ago, Chris had shared a file with various tags in it. I resized one of the tags, ran them through my printer using the 2Peas Mister Giggles font (my favorite) and created this cute card. I used some of those pre-made cards at JoAnns that I used my 40% off coupon on about a year or so ago. Sewed the edges for more texture. Added some wire, primas and mini brads. Fairly quick and easy. Oh yeah, just a touch of black ink to make the tag pop a bit. (Stazon).

A fun Thanksgiving Card

Here's a card using some VDBC files!

This one used the pilgrim hat from #CD00172 and the Share Your Blessings file. Van Dyke brown ink pad and a few mini brads. I had already put my cutter away when I had the afterthought to add the parenthesis so I used my Quickutz but Chris has some parenthesis along with a lot of other symbols in her Essentials file #CD00277. I also changed this a bit and just used my square punches for the buckle instead of cutting the buckle since it was such a small element. I love when I can mix and mingle my supplies. A little doodling along the edge with a chocolate brown Zig - one of my staple supplies!

Hi Everyone!

Sorry it's been so long since I posted. First I spent a wonderful week and a half in KY. Had a great time at the retreat, but got sick while I was there. Went to the Doctor there last Monday and found out that I had pneumonia. It's been a rough week to say the least..
Anyway, wanted to show you a page I got accomplished while I was there. This is for the ongoing challenge, here's what I came up with:
The leaf border cuts awesome. I can see this file being used a lot here! :)
Have a great day!

swirl bracket

It turned cold here in Iowa, so it felt nice to work on a summery page. These are my kids playing with water guns. I used 2 of Chris's files. The swirl bracket is from the challenge pack, and the Just for fun title. The other supplies are KI patterned paper, autumn leaves journal stamp and miscellaneous orange cardstock.

Challenge File

Chris has already posted this on her blog but thought I'd add it here too. I used the spider web from her October Challenge file (go to her blog to get it ;-)). I'm in a planner swap and have October. Will be making 13 of this babies :). The October title is from Shirley Clark one of the designers at Paperthreads.

Happy Harvest Card

This one uses the pumpkin from #CD00363. Since our auction is November 1 (after Halloween), I wanted to make it more fall and less Halloween so I didn't cut out the witches hat that was a part of the design and just trimmed the shadow as needed. Sharing two photos so you can see how I stamped the greeting so it could be read opened and closed. More chalking. Also added a bit of chocolate brown Zig writer and a white glaze pen for highlights. I chose to off-set the vines instead of matting them directly on the shadow for a bit of a fun look. Rounded edges of the card and added a bit of scrap patterned paper. I'm a stickler for tiny details... since I couldn't sew the buttons on without seeing the thread on the back, I stictched the thread and then glue dotted the buttons to the card. More Van Dyke brown ink. (my fave!)

Fall cards

Our church is having an auction so I decided to make a couple of sets of cards (four to a set with envelopes to match). This first one uses the pumpkin from the Pumpkin Patch #CD00155. A bit of chalk to the cutouts and a tag from the computer made with 2peasMisterGiggles. Raffia as a tie. Van Dyke Brown ink. I used a God Bless You! stamp on the inside.
