Hi everyone! It has been awhile but Crafty Card Gallery is back and I am here to share a card that I created. This month’s theme is butterflies and this is what I came up with.
For more info and photos please hop on over to Crafty Card Gallery blog to check out my post here.
Hi everyone! I found these scalloped cards I cut out from the Sizzix Scallop Card diecut several years ago along with a 4 1/2″x6 1/2″ pad of The Great Circus Company from Paper Studio. The set of Graphic 45 Cling Le Cirque 3 rubber stamps I had purchased at a great price at Tuesday Morning (2.99). Which of course I couldn’t pass up. 😉 I couldn’t decide on if I wanted to do Valentine’s Day theme cards or just wanted to keep them generic and finally wound up doing generic theme. So far this is what I came up with…I have a couple of more to do. 🙂
I stamped and used pastel chalks to color the images and then set the chalk with hairspray. Also I printed the sentiments from the computer and I inked all the edges with brown chalk ink.
I added sequins for a little bit of fun bling to the cards. Plus it is flat and should mail easily.
If you have any questions about these cards please let me know.
Hi everyone! This month over at the Crafty Card Gallery we had to try a new technique. Well, if you know me I love taking a 12×12 sheet of cardstock and making four 3″x6″ cards out of that one sheet. After much trial and error…I tried gesso and a stencil and let me tell you I had a very big mess but I did manage a few gessoed dots on the top part of my card without smearing. I did decided to finally try my hand at a easel card and this is what I came up with.
I cut a 6″x6″ cardbase from Calamity Jane Stripe cardstock and the easel I cut a 6″x11″ with folds at 4″, 4″,1″,1″,1″ from brown cardstock.
The sailors digital image is from Eclectic Anthology. I printed on cardstock and fussy cut out. I cut a piece of cream cardstock and distressed the edges and inked and then adhered the sailor image to the top of it. Next I added gauze, twine around the edge of the cream colored cardstock and then adhered to the base. I fussy cut sea life from a sheet of scrapbook paper that is from Paper Studio. I adhered those along with real mini seashells, dew drops and sequins around the edges of the base.
I folded the brown cardstock and adhered to the back of the card.
Next I cut the leftover striped and red cardstock and glued three of the sides to the back to make a pocket. It will be perfect to add a small note and gift card. Now I have a father’s day card finished and need to create one more. 🙂

Hi everyone! I’m back with a really quick post today. I want to share this little 32 count matchbox I altered with some left over Robin’s Nest Halloween (Transylvania) collection that is 20% off this whole month. I also used a Halloween image from the Cameo Shoppe which I fussy cut the image out and added stickler to it to add a little sparkle. 🙂
These matchboxes are really quick and easy to alter and can be used for a Halloween treat or you can add bits and pieces of fun Halloween crafty goodness to give to a friend.
You would be surprised what you can fit into one of these matchboxes. Buttons, bling, ribbon, fiber, charms, images, candy, etc.
