Today I made two cards.
The first one is, as you see, a get well card. It is chalked and I think it is soo cute.

Punch: MS French Scroll
Stamp: Crafty Secretes, Clear Art Stamps
Chalk: Pebbles Inc. Chalk Kit
Bling: Herow Hues, Pearls and Gems


Ok Now for the second card.
I gave this card a type writter because I wanted it to have an "old school" look.  The lace helped with that concept.

Punch: MS French Scroll
Stamp: Crafty Secrets, Clear Art Stamps Office 101
Crochet Thread: Aunt Lidia and the pattern is mine. I croched both the flower and lace
Bling: Hero Huges, Pearls and Gems

A Baby Card for my Daughter in Law to give.

Here is the same design as the last one but this one is for a boy. My Daughter in Law needed a boy's card. It almost looks like clouds to me.
My daughter in law reminded me that the ribbon across the card looked great so I added to this one.

Baby Card Exchange

Two cards in one day!!
This is the card that I am making for the monthly card exchange at "Craft Crossing" in Gonzales.
The is the first one of nine that I will make. I hope the "first one is the hardest".
I could not find any pink plaid paper so I made my own. Last month Pinci had a class at "Craft Crossing" and I learned how to make my own plaid. I will try with the next card to make more of the plaid to show on the card.  After I made my plaid back ground I could not find any colors that I liked that worked with it so I stamped some smaller pink backgrounds. If the picture was better you could tell I had embossed a bird stamp on the small background.

Stamp: Quietfire Design - A Baby is Such
Ink: VersaColor pink and petal pink
Bling: Queen& Co. Pearls-Snowflake
Punch: MS French Scroll
Trim: I crochet the trim using a pattern I wrote and I tied the bow by hand.

Get Well Card

I'm not so sure that this is very masculine but my husband always says that everything needs to show my personality, not necessarily the personality of the person I am making it for.

I used MS French Scroll for the punch work.
The bling is from BoBunny and the paper is Authentique
I used VersaColor Charcol and embossed the saying from Our Daily Bread.
I learned to tie the bow from a video on Amzing Paper Grace.
I croched the lace with #10 Aunt Lydia thread. I wrote the chrochet pattern.
I think that just about gets it.

Today I am working getting the punching done for a card exhange I am going at "Craft Crossing", a lovely craft store here in Gonzales Texas.

And be gracious to you;

And give you peace.”’
