Moments

February 15, 2015

Hi everyone! I wanted to share this card I created using the Sizzix Card, Retro Camera diecut that I bought at Hobby Lobby on clearance for only $7.49. LOVE deals like this! I ran a piece of Brown on Brown Glitter Cardstock through my diecut machine. I also embossed at the fold of the card using the Tim Holtz Texture Fades Dot-Matrix embossing folder. I had decided I was going to go steampunk with this camera. So next I cut the “zipper teeth” off of a piece of zipper which I adhered to card. I cut a small piece of vellum which I inked and then glued to the inside of the card to created the view window and added two 7 Gypsies Dome Studs for the button.

I started with Sprightly Sprockets gear diecuts and before I adhered them to the top of the card I spritzed some with Tattered Angels Verdigris Glimmer Mist and let dry. I also added some Tim Holtz gears, a gold sequin and a brown dew drop.

I also used a bottle cap as part of the lens too.

I added the “moments” coin to the flash and finished off with a dew drop. Later I think I will try to create a mini album with this camera diecut. 🙂 If you have any questions about this card please let me know.

Thanks for stopping by, hope your Sunday is wonderful and enjoy creating!

Motorcycles and Father’s Day

June 15, 2014

Hi everyone! I’m here to share a quick card I created and wish all of you fathers and fatherly figures out there a Happy Father’s Day!!!
I made this card for my wonderful husband using the Motorcycle printable from Altered Pages. I fussy cut the red motorcycle from the sheet and added a paint chip, scraps of scrapbook paper, embossed gears and sprockets from a cuttlebug embossing folder, Tim Holtz gears and the cut out gears are from a swap I was in a few years back and I never had found a use for them until now. Oh, the base of the card is from a pack of card bases I got on clearance at Hobby Lobby a few years back too.

I wound up giving the card to my husband a day early since we rode to the Harley Davidson store and then over to Cade’s Cove in the Smokey Mountains. We had used my camera to photograph our trip through the Cove and I knew once he got home and uploaded pics he would see the photos of the card. Even though it isn’t a blue sportster Harley he liked the card anyway. 🙂
