Well, I still have not found my paper snips, but I did get 3 cards finished...hehehe. These were all made with a new release over at GinaK Designs, called Many Happy Returns.
The card base is white, and then I layered on tiny strips of paper for the...NOT. I used a really lovely American Crafts Monogram DP (the letter C), and cut it all up for the cards. I used the colors of th stripes for the colors in the card - pumpkin pie, wild wasabi, and brocade blue. I colored them all with watercolor pencils, and used the blender pens to spread the color. They were all stamped with basic grey ink.
I stamped the sentiments from the same set, and punched them out with the 1 1/4 circle punch. The brown layer is from the same DP punched with the 1 3/8, and then the CS is punched with the scallop circle punch. This was added to the card with dimensionals, and then I added the 3 silver brads in the bottom corners. Finally, I used my Sakura Stardust pen from All That Scraps to add some sparkle to the cards.
I really like this DP, and have 2 sheets to use up - YAY. Well, it is time to get down to the craft room. I am packaging the rest of the DVD kits today, and am hoping to have them mailed tomorrow morning!!


















Those are adorable. What a versitile set. Thanks for sharing.

You know, I really get a kick out of your blog because each time I log in (daily, mind you) your picture changes! Your hair, your glasses, your cut......you are every bit as creative with yourself as with your cards and your blog. Love it all! Thanks so much for sharing.
