Happy Halloween

Happy Halloween, a photo by Judyt28 on Flickr.

Here I've used the Halloween die from IO (029-P) and die cut it twice, once in black and again in white.
I then embossed the dark purple background using the Fall Leaf Background embossing folder from Darice.
Added some shimmer sheet for the window, a yellow sliver for the moon and brushed on a little grey ink to the all the other pieces. The sentiment is from Inkadinkado (98627 All Hallow's Eve).
Enjoy and thanks for stopping by to have a look.

Happy Birthday & Hello card set

Hello again,

I made these 2 cards (4.5x 4.5") following Jennifer McGuire's inlay technique video.
The dies I used are Memory Box Isabella Butterfly & Prized Chrysantheum Background.
I laid down all the different strips and then die cut the pieces.
I must admit that it was a little time consuming but I think the results are fantastic!
If you haven't try her technique yet you really should give it a try.
It really is a lot of fun!
Thanks for stopping by to have a look. Much appreciated!

Hi everyone,
Made this card for Scramble #68 hosted by Kailash (HA Flickr member) where the challenge was to use washi or decorative tape.
I choice washi tape in neon colours. I just love, love neon. Sort of a final bright tribute to summer seeing as Fall is just around the corner.
First I applied all the washi tape strips and then ran the piece through the birds & swirls embossing folder by Cuttlebug.
I stamped the butterfly and sentiment usng the HA thoughtful messages set (CL184).
Thanks for stopping by!

Beaded bracelet with cat clasp

A few years back I had strayed from the card making path as I think I had mentioned in my profile to try my hand at some jewelry making.
While I enjoyed it immensely my heart was still with the card making.
I never uploaded any of my created pieces to Flickr or Pinterest but have decided to do so now. Maybe someone else can enjoy them also.
So from time to time I will be throwing in some pictures of my jewelry.
Not to say that I won't get back into it again but I think I might keep that on hold until I retire.
Hopefully I will have oodles and oodles of time then to share my two passions.
So enjoy this piece and look out from time to time for others.
Thanks for stopping by to have a look!

Happy holidays

Well I don't usually make Christmas cards in the summer but when the challenge came along at http://cas-ualfridays.blogspot.ca/?m=0 to make a card using buttons I had an idea for these pearl drop buttons. I think my mom gave them to me years ago.
I started by stamping the HA (H5629) tree with dark blue ink and then clear embossed.
I added each pearl button by stringing them with silver metallic thread. You can see the criss cross of thread if you look carefully.
The background paper is the Winter Wishes pad from Echo Park.
The sentiment is Peny Black Holiday Repeat (3252F).
Popped up the two centre panels.
Thanks for stopping to have a peak at my button card.
Tks,

Judy

Happy Saturday,

I hope you are enjoying a relaxing day. I created this card for the challenge at http://casethissketch.blogspot.ca/
I used the Simon Says Leaf column and Leaf outline dies for this card and die cut several different colours of cardstock.
Die cut the centre column from black cs.
Took a little whole to assemble but I love the result.
Sentiment is from HA which I pop dotted the centre of the banner for a little depth.
Also used some black petals for the 4 corners.
Enjoy and thanks for stopping by.
I really appreciate your comments.

Happy Sunday everyone,

It's a lazy afternoon here. Enjoyed a nice yoga class this morning which set me up for the day. We just finished with a nice rainfall here which I quite enjoyed outside while sitting under my gazebo tent.
I find it so peaceful and relaxing listening to the rain. I think that's probably what inspired me to create this card.

Enjoy and have a happy day!

Thought I would just pop in tonight to share this card with you.
I absolutely love, love this technique. I had tried this technique before in the past and was so happy that Kristina Werner introduced it again in today's Summer Camp card making class (Online Card Classes).
It is such a really fun technique but in my estimation used not nearly enough.
The results can be absolutely stunning depending on the colours. Imagine the wings on a butterfly done using this technique.
If you haven't tried it yet honestly you really should give it a go. Trust me you'll love it. When I showed it to my husband tonight after I had taken the photo his comment was that he thought this was one of the best cards I have ever done.
Makes me want to make some more.
Anyways, thanks for stopping by to have a look see.

Just wanted to share this card with you. I'm taking the Summer Camp online card classes http://onlinecardclasses.com/summercardcamp2/?p=196
This card is based on the one that Jennifer McGuire taught in the class. I didn't have a feather die or stamp so I used flower petals from a stamp set that I have from quite a while ago (Bonnidee).
I stamped the petals on watercolour paper and clear embossed. I then applied various distress inks and spritzed with water.
Die cut the window with a plain circle and added a scalloped green circle to the back.
The little cluster circles (Outlines) is one stamp which I inked with a combination of green and brown inks.
Added the sentiment and some pearls.
I had so much fun making this card.
Thanks for stopping to have a look.

Inks used - Peeled Paint, Shabby Shutters, Peacock Feathers, Gathered Twigs.

You're special

Well I caught up with the Online Card Classes Summer Camp 2 http://onlinecardclasses.com/summercardcamp2/ 

Seeing as I registered a week late for the classes it took me the better part of yesterday to get in the groove. I'm on track and ready to go for the start of week 2 tomorrow. Wow! This 1st week was so much fun.
I have uploaded 5 cards to Flickr so you can check them out.
This particular card was a technique that Shari Carroll shared. I didn't quite have the exact supplies that she used so I substituted and used distress inks on watercolour paper. Die cut several different coloured stars using the Cosmic Star set from Memory Box. TFL! Oh and I can't wait to see what this week brings. Tee hee!
I'm excited!

Judy,
