Shaker Card

"Anything Goes" over at Twisted Thursday, The Outlawz. Always a favorite. I am loving using our sponsor, Bestie Designs', images. This time, I used Image #064,
and made a shaker card.

Double Gate Fold Card, Thinking of You

The twist this week over at Twisted Thursday at The Outlawz is to "Add a Sentiment". So, add a sentiment to something and come on over and join in on the fun! Our sponsor this month is Besties Designs, and this is Image #30.  This is a double gate fold card and the white "button" is a brad. I used a couple of real buttons and some white waxed twine. I saw my first double gate card on Marie Gamber's Copic and cardmaking blog and she generously gave me a link for the fold directions, which I will pass on to you here.

Spring with Crackerbox Palace

I am honored to be a guest designer for Quirky Crafts. Please join us in the challenge to use some pretty spring colors as shown, or lots of flowers. I have selected to use the suggested colors, with a few flowers as well on my card featuring digital art from Crackerbox Palace. I created a swing card so am showing the card closed and open. The card was cut with a Square Flip-Its die from Sizzix.

Bestie with Punches

This week, the twist for Twisted Thursday at The Outlawz is to use punches. I do have a few punches but don't think to add the often, so this was a nice push to do so. The image is from My Besties image #097 that I colored with my Spectrum Noir markers. The border punch is from Martha Stewart and the little butterfly punch is from Recollections.

Young Gardner Gate Folded Card

I am honored to have been selected as a guest designer for Through the Craft Room Door this week. If you have never checked out this site, please do. You'll find lots of talented and friendly people.
This image is from Just Inked and called Young gardener. The card uses a gate fold. I used my Copic markers and added some clear, silver, and gold Wink of Stella for some bling.

Freddie the Frog with a Teabag Folded Sun

The Outlawz has a monthly freebie/progressive challenge. This month, the free image is Freddie the Frog from Encino Stamps. Isn't he just a cutie? First, I fussy cut him, made his lily pad and popped them with foam tape. That bright sunshine is my first try at Teabag folding. I added a bright jewel to its center. The fly is a button that I sprayed with my Copic marker to make it darker. The sky paper is white cardstock embossed with the clouds and then gone over with Distress inks.

Thanks for stopping by!
