You're a Star

The center tin was recycled from the end of a crescent roll package. I punched the star shape onto it then layered the paper star on top of it.


Abstract Art


My first painting! I used shades of red orange and yellow. perhaps a whole wall next :)

For My Friend

This paper is from Close to My Heart, a collection called Veranda. The hummingbirds are soft as well as the text in the background.


Merry Merry Christmas

Ok so it's August in the south so like that means um 110 with heat index and humidity. Wow am I ever ready for cooler weather! I used puff paint for Santa's hat and cuff. The holly berries in the wreath were made with red sparkle glitter.


365


The shiny texture paper was made with a paper towel! I inked it all up with lots of colors then used UTE to emboss it. It looks so cool in person.

Thank U

I am always in need of a thank you card! It's definitely a good thing :)

In this card I recycled an aluminum can and embossed with the cuttlebug diamond plate. The blue background is painters tape and the cream is basic making tape.

I was playing with black and white. I love the new SU! cherry cobbler color.



This one was for the ladies at a local cupcake store, The Sweetest Batch Cupcakery. The store is decorated in pink with black & white damask. Their "Queen of Hearts" cupcake is the best!

Howdy, Hello




Never Ending Card

My son Parker just loves pirates and skeletons. I made him this never ending pirate card so he can hunt for treasure with his secret pirate map. It just keeps opening over and over. Nothing like Pirate Fun!









Happy Father's Day!


Parker and I built this picture frame in a Lowe's Build & Grow workshop. We have so much fun going to the workshops.

More Recycling

I liked the recycled beer can card so much I had to make some more.
I think this time you can see the puff paint a bit better.

Above is the outside of the card and below the inside. I used a vintage lion from Tim Holtz. I think it helps to highlight the lions on the front of the beer can.
