It's "Snot" Fun Being Sick Get Well Soon Card

Good morning!!!

I love the cute play on words this stamp set made.  I used Dazzling Diamonds on the raindrops and the water puddle.  I had another opportunity to use my Fun Flock, but still only white this time.  I need to just be patient and will look for opportunities to use my other 11 colors.  lol

Anyway, I found another generous person who will be contributing her handmade greetings cards to Creative Kindness, so this is awesome.  We could use as many cards as we can find because there are people out there that sure could use them!

Gate - Fold Thank You Card w/ envelope

Greetings! 

I decided to shake it up a little bit this time,  so i made a gate - fold card with a matching envelope. I don't think it turned out too bad. 

And here is the inside of the card: (notice the silver do-dad in the top middle of the card?   I used. A foil rub-on from Crafter's Companion and finished it with a Thank You sentiment Edgables die. 

And on the front of the card: 

I added a couple different Butterflies and some sequins.

Hello

Greetings! 

I love brown and pink together,  I always have. 

I used this full flower background and cut it out with my Sizzix Big Shot Switch Plus in pink and then matted with SU's Chocolate Chip cardstock. 

I cut out a shape from SU'S Apothecary Accents Framelits and then embossed it with SU'S Polkadot Embossing folder,  and then adorned with the hello sentiment,  SU's flower punchouts w/ paper punch and SU's halfback pearls.

Distressed Embossing

Greetings!

I was looking online for an interesting technique that I haven't done in a while and decided to settle on the Distressed Embossing technique that I found and now that my cards have been completed, I cannot find the website any more.  (I hate it when that happens) Rest assured, though when I come across the site again, I'll update it here so the original author can get the recognition she deserves.

For the time being, here are the 3 variations I did.

After embossing a piece of Stampin' Up! Designer Paper with a chosen embossing folder, with a sanding block I began to lightly rub the sanding block along the raised-up images, which sanded off any color that was once on the Designer paper and left the core of the cardstock, which was white.  

Please forgive the lack of colors to show through...  the background on the first card was teal, the second card is a dark denim background, and the third one is a graple kind of purple color with the cardstock of Wisteria Wonder.  For some reason none of these colors shown through.

Wonderful Butterflies

Greetings! 

A simple card I created using a card sketch from Stampin Pretty. Sketch #39 got my attention this time.

The butterfly is embossed with Tourmaline Pearl embossing powder from Recollections,  halfback bling gems,  and a double bow.

Loving Wishes - Christmas Card

   This project is a card on a card. Thought i would try something different.  It feels weird making a Christmas card in March, but they've got to be made sometime. At least maybe I'll have my stash built up by the time the Holidays roll around and I won't have to be in such a hurry. (It's a good thought, anyway.)

 

And here is the opened version...
